Panini Grill was founded by three brothers from Italy, eager to open an Italian family style restaurant in America.

We wanted a traditional family atmosphere, Trattoria or neighborhood place that offers large portions and a variety of homemade, home-style cooking, just like my Mamma used to make. "WERE MORE THAN JUST PANINI'S"

We'd love to welcome your group of 12 or more, please call us for availability.

Come join us at our home! Mangia!!

    After speaking with my husband, I’d like to restate my initial review. We visited the Panini Grill Friday and started with a nice vodka martini each. The cocktails were enjoyable, and we proceeded to order our food, which was very good. Sally, our waitress, was friendly and attentive. However, there was an employee who repeatedly approached us about ordering another drink, even though we hadn’t finished our cocktails. This became uncomfortable. The last time the employee came over, my husband and I briefly discussed ordering wine, but after 50 years together, he confidently declined the persistent requests. Unfortunately, it was obvious the employee didn't appreciate my husband’s machismo. Shortly afterward, Sally brought a glass of red wine to our table, even though we had only lightly mentioned it. While the food was good, this experience left a bad impression. Out of principle, We won’t be returning. My husband was not happy. We visited the Grill at the end of October for a small repast. Our nice waitress Sally knows exactly what occurred.

    Excellent menu choices and food was delicious. The noise level was extremely loud and difficult to have a conversation. Each time the Burrata Tower or Cacio e Pepe was prepared tableside, music was blasted as if in a club. It took away from our dining experience.

    Very good, just thought $300+ for 4 is a little expensive.
