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!!

    My family and I love Panini Grill. Peter, Sal and the entire staff are beyond amazing! The food is beyond delicious and the atmosphere is gorgeous! They make every dinning experience worth the trip. We wish them amazing success on the opening of their 2nd restaurant which we will also frequent.

    As always, Panini Grill was great last night! I’ve made the trip 3 times from New Jersey, and well worth it. Great food, awesome selections, service was on point, and Peter is an excellent host. Highly recommend!

    Panini Grill is such a great spot for a Christmas family diner. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a nice dinner. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you’re well taken care of. It’s a place that feels comfortable and welcoming every time you visit. If you’re looking for a solid Italian meal with great service, Panini Grill is definitely worth checking out!

    Panini Grill Is a Totally Amazing & Great Place to Eat & Have a Great Time. I Have Been There several Times.. The Fried Calamari with Marinara Sauce (Appetizer) is excellent. The Positano Salad was Fantastic. The Pollo Daniel with Vegtable & Potato Is Great. I Especially Loved Their Bistecca Al Ferro (Pat La Frida Styeak) with Brocolli Rabe Was Outstatnding. You Must Experience Panini Grill...
