STAY AWAY...Our visit started off good, we were seated right away (visited during the off season) The waitress was very nice, she knew the menu and specials well. (I should have picked up on the hint when she said she dosen't eat there) We ordered several dishes, i think the best dish was the salad and bread. The Linguine with clams was rather flavorless, they use way to many ingredients which just neutralize each other out, there were big clumps of that jar minced garlic in the claim shells and the clams were so over cooked they were rubbery. The crab Ravioli (the day's special) were ok, a bit over cooked (just a little) the sauce was just over powering and the shrimp were... well I've chewed on rubber bands as a kid that were less rubbery. We ordered some appetizer (i don't recall the name of it) it was a piece of sausage covered in cheese with roasted peppers.. well if you do visit this place, STICK TO THE BREAD AND SALAD. Way to expensive for less than local pizzeria quality food.

Had the grilled pork chop- thick and cooked perfectly, not dried out. Came with gnocci that were so light, sweet and savory, little pillows of heaven. Absolutely delicious Parking: Around 20 spots behind buildingWheelchair accessibility: In the back of the building off the parking lot

This restaurant has gone way downhill since my last visit. We had dinner last night in the basement and we were one of the only tables down there. The upstairs had a good amount of empty tables when we arrived and yet our party was relegated to the dingy basement with every single window covered and zero ambiance. The food wasn’t anything great and half our meals arrived to our table cold. The restaurant doesn’t carry ketchup (something about the owner not believing in it?!?) and so our kids who had ordered French fries would barely eat them. The ceaser salad is literally 4 pieces of lettuce and some croutons for $18. Just overall the entire experience was very disappointing and we will definitely not be back. I would also like to note that when I called to see if we could move our reservation back by 20 minutes or so the girl on the phone was very unaccommodating which was crazy considering when we arrived the place was half empty and they were seating us in an empty basement anyway. Highly recommend skipping this establishment and trying out literally any other place in Cape May.

Food was very good overall. I had Mediterranean Salmon Special. Wife had FriedVeal Cutlet Special which she felt had too much breading on it but veal itself was very good. Service was excellent as usual. We were surprised at the menu prices. The online menu prices in many cases were not at all like the actual restaurant menu. Not sure how old the online prices were but suggest that the new menu be added to the online and scrap the old one. Overall we did enjoy and will be back.

We called and pushed our res up a half hour and they were very accommodating. We were greeted when we came in and sat quickly. It was off season so there were a few tables. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Food came out in a timely matter. Pizza was delicious! We also had the Sunday dinner. It was a huge portion but just ok. Meats were a bit dry and pasta over cooked. Overall it was good but not great.

We had a tesevation but were sat in the basement where the tables are very close together so you y like you are sitting with the table next to you and it is a bit uncomfortable. The food was definitely ot as good as normal. Not sure if it was due to being very busy but definitely disappointing, especially since the prices went up since out last visit 2 months ago.

My wife and I recently had dinner at Panico's. We had been there before but had mixed feelings about the place. The appetizers were average. My wife had a salad and I had the calamari. Both were ok. For dinner, my wife had the shrimp and crab with pasta and I had the shrimp and scallops with pasta. Both dinners were just fair. Their shrimp had that clear look of being frozen for a long time. My wife said that her crab tasted like it came from out of a can. We skipped dessert. Overall we were disappointed in Panico's. Our server however was very pleasant. Sorry but I can't recommend this one.

The service was excellent. Food was very good. Nice experience overall except I find it offensive and a shame that the waitresses are made to wear outfits that are so very short and revealing. The waitresses should be respected!!!

This is my second time at the restaurant after a great first time. The food was delicious and the service was more than excellent. My calamari and pasta dish were both incredibly delicious.
