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!!

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 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...

Wonderful everytime we go! Always nice ambiance but for the holidays?! Fuggetabouit!!! Stunning!! Food is amazing as always. Christine and staff are total sweethearts. Best vodka sauce around. Basket of bread and spreads is incredible. Delicious drinks and seasonal cocktails. One of our fans. If we were able to eat out more, we'd be there a lot more.
