" I frequent Panino Rustico and it’s always a delightful experience! The quality of their food is consistently top-notch. I had a grilled chicken with pesto panini today, and it reminded me of the times I spent in Italy—so flavorful and authentic. It was warm and toasty, just how I like it. The service could be quicker during lunch, but it’s worth it for the food. Try the cannoli for dessert, they are made fresh and divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become my go-to for brunch! The selection of sweet and savory crepes is divine. I tried the cinnamon sugar crepe and it was decadent! Service can be a bit hit-or-miss, I've had days where it’s flawless and others where I felt ignored, but the quality of food keeps me coming back. The ambiance is nice and casual, making it perfect to hang out with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was a bit mixed. The food was wonderful, but the service left something to be desired. I had to wait longer than expected for my order, which was frustrating considering how delicious my smoked salmon panini turned out to be. I appreciate that they are cash only; it has a very retro vibe. I will likely return because the food is fantastic, but I hope that the service improves next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic little Italian cafe! I can't emphasize enough how delicious the crepes are. I tried the Nutella crepe and it was heavenly! The service was excellent, and the ambiance is just right—cozy yet lively. Small parking space outside can be a hassle during rush hours but worth it for the food. I love this place, and I see myself coming here often. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had brunch at Panino Rustico, and it was beyond my expectations! The sweet crepes filled with fresh strawberries and Nutella melted in my mouth—it was heaven! My friend ordered the savory option, and she couldn't stop raving about the smoked salmon panini she had. Everything feels so homey here, and it’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients. The only downside was that it was quite busy, which made it a little noisy, but that’s part of the charm! I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is consistently excellent at Panino Rustico. The sweet crepes are just the right amount of sweet and honestly feel like dessert heaven. Their savory options are equally delicious. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, especially during peak times, but the staff is definitely friendly. It’s nice to find such a welcoming spot in my neighborhood. I always leave happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Panino Rustico has captured my heart! The grilled chicken salad is amazing, and their bruschetta is a hit. The staff makes me feel right at home every visit. The portions are decent, considering the prices. The ambiance is vibrant, making it a perfect spot for get-togethers. Overall, if you love good, honest food, don't miss out on this gem!
