"Panini's Ischia: grilled chicken, avocado, greens, and tomato with honey mustard on house-made panino bread"
Michael Stern
"Regular, crisp-fried calamari is available, but Panino's also offers this tantalizing gloss on the recipe, for which the little fried squid hoops are sopped with a syrupy balsamic vinegar reduction. Powerful stuff, and good!"
Michael Stern
"Louie Primavera is a bounty of vegetables, including garlic, atop angel hair pasta."
Michael Stern
"The 'Parma' is leaves of proscuitto, slices of fresh mozzarella, and roasted red peppers drizzled with zesty balsamic vinegar. What a nice sandwich!"
Michael Stern
"Looking like an ordinary strip-mall restaurant, Panino's is easy to miss as you drive past. Inside, it's a surprisingly good-looking place with mighty good-tasting food."
Michael Stern
"Before the meal is served, tables are presented with a basket of tender-crumb panino bread and a dipping bowl of olive oil laced with briney slices of black olive."
Michael Stern
"This lovely salad is made of baby spinach leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, lots of chevre, and slices of smoky grilled eggplant, all dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette."
Michael Stern
"The Ischia sandwich is presented in quarters on a plate spangled with herbs and grated cheese."
Michael Stern
"Unless you are really, really hungry, this chicken parmesan is enough for a couple of main courses."
Michael Stern
"Mea culpa! I was so hungry, and Panino's bread is so excellent -- still oven-warm -- that I cleaned out the basked and sopped up the last of the delicious olive slurry that comes for bread dipping. Only then did I remember my duty to take a picture: bad journalism, but a wonderful way to begin a meal."
