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.

    Lovely space. Warm and inviting. Wonderful, attentive service. The food was fantastic. Had the scallop and lobster pasta special. Absolutely delicious. And the espresso martini was out of this world.

    Went for lunch during Dine Out Boston. Had to specifically ask for that menu since it was given with the other menus. But the service was fantastic as was the food. The portion sizes were much more than I expected for a lunch portion, especially for a special menu so the value was phenomenal. Even without the special pricing, I would have considered it a good value for the meal. This is definitely someplace Imwould like to return to try other items on the menu. In the meantime, I highly recommend the Paccheri Al Ragu.

    Food was average at best especially for the price. Extremely busy on Saturday nights and loud. Table was not ready 20 minutes after reservation time and had to wait at busy bar. Overall disappointing.

    It was disappointing, after having eaten here for many years in the past, to find the quality has deteriorated. The arrabbiata pasta was made with jalapeno as opposed to red chilis - very odd, not true to any recipe I've ever had before, and negatively impacted the taste of the dish in a meaningful way so that it was not easy to eat, tasted sour. The pesto pasta was watery in texture and, although not as troubling as the arrabbiata dish, difficult to finish. This was disappointing because many years ago the pasta here was very well-made and impressive. The caprese appetizer was fine, but simple. The server was the highlight, a very kind man. The food was not worth the North End price tag.
