The panino is an interesting type of sandwich, like a thin pizza wrapped up. Fairly tasty although my son's was overloaded with red onion (he picked them out... Lol). Service was slow on a Saturday and the paninos are about $17 each. The price is high, imo. More like a $12 type sandwich. My dad took me here back in the 90s and I think the price was high then too. The place isn't exactly high end, so I don't understand the prices. If you are going to charge more...

Wonderful Italian food at this family owned restaurant. Reasonable prices and generous portions. My eggplant parmigiana became two more meals! Wait staff attentive but not hovering. Worked well together. Caesar, our waiter, was outstanding. We had dinner there immediately following a 4:00pm CC Hockey game. The restaurant filled quickly but service and food were great.
