Trattoria Il Panino is the kind of place that one would expect to find along the Amalfi Coast. It is a warm, friendly, unpretentious and a food-focused environment. From the casual and positive energy of the atmosphere and waitstaff, to the serious and professional energy of the kitchen, the front
and back of the house form a desirable marriage. The entrance on 260 Hanover street has a full liquor license.

    We were sat in the downstairs dining room. It was quite noisy but not unexpected as there were several larger parties. Our food was quite good however the service was only ok and the room itself needs to be updated. The service was somewhat slow. 15 minutes to get a coke and a martini?? And the martini showed up first!! Took a while to get the check and also to get change after that. My complaints about the room are 1) Peeling paint on the soffit covering the vents. 2) Poor design of wine storage. Yes the bottles all look nice lining the walls but having to move so a server can access the wine during our meal is not ideal. The server tried to play it off as checking in on us but it was clearly just to get to the wine behind us. The food itself was quite good. Started with a Ceaser salad and had the Osso Bucco and the tortelli. The salad was nothing to write home about(croutons tasted like they came from a box)! The tortelli was quite good but a bit heavy on the garlic side. We both love garlic but thought it was a bit much. The Osso Bucco was outstanding, Italian comfort food at its best!

    Our appetizers and pasta dishes were amazing. Very fresh. The chicken Parmesan was just okay and a bit rubbery. Everything else was exceptional.

    Alberto, our waiter, was great, so attentive. He knew when to approach and it was so busy. The noise level is awful when there’s a full house.

    Nice place. Too bad my beef lasagna had no beef. Like stacked up pasta with nothing in between. Disappointing. My wife had Penne & Chicken Parm which was good. Kids had Trumpeto Pesto and Gnocchi, they were fine. All of our dishes could have been much hotter. Not cold enough to return. Wont go back.

    This place is really overrated. The food was not good. The pasta was overcooked and unless you sit upstairs, the ambience is very bad and the noise level is high.
