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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Trattoria Il Panino in Boston's North End is a delightful spot for authentic Italian cuisine, consistently praised for "amazing food" and a "fantastic dining experience." With standout dishes like "best lasagna ever" and a memorable ambiance featuring a basement wine cellar vibe, it promises an unforgettable meal.

Despite occasional service hiccups, patrons frequently commend the restaurant as a must-visit for Italian food lovers.

    We arrived on time, a party of five. We were taken to a small table set up for four. Requested a larger table and were not accommodated. Appetizers arrived quickly and entrees came minutes later! We were not even halfway through our appetizers. We mentioned this and received a "sorry" from our server whilst everything was crammed onto the small table. Several of the entrees were severed in 10" pans which made the cramped situation worse. The food was not bad but several of the entrees were room temperature. As we were leaving we mentioned our displeasure to the manager and were treated to silence. He did however raise his eyebrows. With all of the fantastic restaurant options in the North End, this is one to avoid. We lived in this neighborhood and we are familiar with the usual high quality of the establishments in the North End.

    The food was excellent and came out quick! The service was friendly and helpful. The price range is about $20-40 but incredibly worth it for the quality of the food.

    Disappointed! We arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes before our reservation and were told to waited a the bar and we were will be seated soon. The bar was 3 people deep. There was no where to stand. The wait staff could not get to there tables and upset about us in the way. We had no where to stand. I even had a drink spilled on me. We waited almost an hour for a table!!! When they finally seated us we were not even in the restaurant but we were seated in an inclosed patio that was freezing. Our table was uneven and everything slid due to the bricks on the ground. Food was good. The wait staff was attentive. Will not be back again. No one ever apologized for the wait.

    Restaurant is super loud. Very hard to have a conversation with someone. There was an odd smell walking in… not sure if that was intentional or not.. but I wouldn’t say it was super pleasant. Service was okay… we didn’t go without because there were so many servers handling our table. But I will say it didn’t feel friendly or inviting. It felt like they were trying to churn out as many tables as humanly possible. Food was pretty good considering! Was definitely surprised as well at how fast everything came to our table, which for us left us feeling super rushed, but if you’re looking for a quick bite, with good Italian food this is definitely for you!
