Rude service and the food was not at all what we expected. My curry chicken sandwich should have been called a curry apple sandwich. There were very few pieces of chicken and mostly apples and raisins. My husband had the Tuna salad and it was very dry and difficult to eat. The shop itself is cute with outdoor seating. It would have been nice to know that the outdoor tables associated Paninos had white umbrellas and other tables belonged with the business next door. We waited close to 20 minutes for our order, I finally went up to the cashier and retrieved it. The chunks in the photo aren’t pieces of chicken, they are hunks of apple. Just call it an apple curry sandwich.

Delicious sandwiches. My favorite is the chicken with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes on focaccia. I get it every time I’m in Los Olivos! The Harvest salad is another favorite.

Best sandwiches in town

They took a large catering order on high tourist traffic day. Caused all the people ordering live to have to wait over an hour for food.

Stopped by for a Monday lunch and had a great experience. We ordered the Roasted Turkey and Italian sandwiches—both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The restaurant was reasonably busy but not overcrowded, and our food came out quickly. A perfect spot for a delicious and efficient lunch. Highly recommend!

Panino used to be one of my all time favorite places to grab a sandwich at. Having not visited for probably nine years, I was so excited to be back to try it again. Unfortunately, it tastes nothing how my husband and I remembered our favorite sandwiches.
There were a ton of greens on both of our sandwiches and hardly any meat, which never used to be the case. Four thin slices of salami on a sandwich just isn't going to cut it.
The staff were not super friendly, unfortunately. I had asked a few questions and the girl seemed really annoyed by them which surprised me. Also, after I placed my order and paid, the employee informed me that it was at least a 20 minute wait. It would've been nice to know that beforehand so I could decide if I wanted to eat there or not. It took about 40 minutes for our sandwiches and definitely was not worth the wait. We'll go to Bob's Well Bread next time instead since their sandwiches are consistently good.
I had a great experience at Panino! I ordered the Italian sandwich, and it was fantastic—high-quality ingredients and fresh bread made all the difference. The service was quick and friendly. I was sharing my sandwich and they brought it out on 2 plates without even having to ask.
The restaurant was clean and well maintained. I appreciated that they open earlier than most other spots in town, which is super convenient. A nice surprise was that they also sell Rori’s artisanal ice cream sandwiches—definitely a treat worth trying!

Good place with a nice selection of sandwiches and salads. Good sized portions - if you are not too hungry easy to share. Take away with you on a winery tasting picnic or eat outside in front and watch the foot traffic in Los Olivos.

I ordered #1 and it was the most plain sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. No flavor and overpriced. Do not recommended this place for sandos.

Loved the English Cotswold and Tomato sandwich! Came here with my group 3+ times during our weeklong trip b/c everyone loved everything they tried. Wide selection of chips, drinks, salads, and sandwiches (including delicious vegetarian options). Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back for my favorite sammie!
Vegetarian options: Lots of tasty vegetarian sandwich and salad options.
