    Service was outstanding (our waitress was Maureen :-)) But it was very noisy because tables are way too close together which greatly diminishes the nice ambience. Food was good but the Crab & Shrimp entree contained 85% pasta, only 6 shrimp, and very little crab. It was very disappointing.

    The service was excellent and Maureen was warm and efficient. The pasta dishes were flavorful and family sized, and the garlic bread squares and salad delicious. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the Christmas season. Make a reservation ahead of time.

    Panico’s is always a great dining experience! Me and my partner enjoyed the bruschetta app and homemade brick oven focaccia. I also had the delicious Pomodoro pizza to start. I had the Braised Pork Osso Bucco and it was an amazing replacement for anyone craving short rib. Service was also great! The trainee server Gia did great too!

    At 5:00 reservations for 9 (4 adults and 5 kids), The restaurant is very clean and neatly decorated, the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Our server (Donna) was fantastic very patient especially for such a large group with kids. The restaurant is off the beaten path but definitely recommended if you're in Cape May.

    We sat in an area, that every time the door was opened, there was a rush of cold air. I ordered pasta with sauce. Nothing fancy, just pasta. The pasta was WAY WAY OVER COOKED. If my wife had not insisted I would have sent it back. I'd be very reluctant to return and reluctant to recommend.

    Our seat was next to the server station back near the bathrooms so it was just so so. Overall, the food was good, but the pizza was burnt on the bottom. I would suggest requesting it to be lightly cooked. The other disappointing thing is you get charged for refills on your iced tea. $5.00 each!!! So, we spent $20.00 for 4 cups of iced tea.
