" I have dined here multiple times now and have loved it every visit! The service is friendly, and the food is divine. I recommend the pork chop—it is to die for. The ambiance makes it feel special, and the overall experience is always delightful. Looking forward to my next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience here, although it could have been better. The food was decent, but not quite as flavorful as I anticipated. The restaurant gets quite loud, and it was a bit hard to hold a conversation. Service was friendly but a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointed with my experience here. The service was really slow and the food did not live up to the hype. My pasta seemed undercooked, and the overall atmosphere felt chaotic. I’ve had better Italian meals elsewhere. Not likely to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Panico's on a friend's recommendation, and I’m so glad we did. The focaccia appetizer was exceptional—so soft and fresh. The main courses were very good too. Our server was friendly but a bit slow with our drinks. Still, I would return based on the tasty food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually write reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience here. Panico's is just incredible! I had the shrimp scampi, and it was so flavorful. The complimentary focaccia? Amazing! Thanks to the staff for making this dining experience memorable. Will come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this is possibly the best Italian restaurant I've ever visited! The flavors in the dishes remind me of Italy. I had the baked cavatappi and the crab macaroni dish, and both were incredible. Great atmosphere too, we had a cozy table set up perfectly for our date night. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional dining experience! The ambiance is lovely, a perfect setting for a romantic dinner. The food was outstanding, especially the linguine and clams. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. Everything was mindful and thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend if you’re in Cape May! " (*Curated Review*)
