About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Place was busy but check in process was very slow. Watched as others were seated even though we were told we were next. Food came out fast but was just ok. Calamari was overcooked. Staff was nice but don’t think we will be back.

    Food was good overall but service was slow and food was not hot. Sat on heated enclosed patio despite having a reservation weeks in advance. Took 20min to be seated for table.

    Our server seemed disinterested and annoyed to serve us, the food did not taste great, and we were seated right next to the bar which provided a below average ambience experience.

    The entrees and wines were very good. We had the lasagna, the 4 meat mezzi, and penne. All we very good especially the classic lasagna with vodka sauce. I was however very let down by the store bought tiramisu. It was a big miss to have such a good regular meal that tasted quite authentic and then to have such a poor dessert. Save your money and go to Mike’s a few doors down for dessert.

    We ventured over to the North End’s Little Italy without a reservation, hoping to land somewhere solid. Trattoria II Panino boasted quite a few pictures of celebs dining-in AND they had a reservation. The fried calamari was delicious, the lasagna was solid but the chicken parm was awful. When they brought it to the table, it looked like it had been sitting there for a while and the chicken was dry. The food came out so fast that it felt like it had been sitting under some heat lamp somewhere. The service was bumpy. They came to the table to offer some fresh parmesan cheese when we were more than half way done with our meal. Which is weird because it’s Italian Food and they weren’t too busy. After we paid and were leaving, I thought the host staff would say thank you and to have a good night, but they were just chatting with each other. Given all of the options in the neighborhood, I’d try something different before coming back to Trattoria Il Panino.

    Lots of options in the North End. This one was the one we decided on for a business lunch. We were amazed. One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Will return next trip!
