Whenever people ask what's my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood, Panino Rustico is always my answer. It is a casual Italian spot for panini, crepes and coffee.
The owner and their staff are super friendly. This is a place that everyone will feel like home
＊savory crepe w. smoked ham, cherry tomato mozzarella and basil pesto
For mains, I really love their savory crepes. The savory crepe I got this time was generously stacked...

The service is a bit hit or miss. Came here few times, and those times, I’ve always had to ask for water, forks, napkins, etc. Friendly service.
When the owner is not there, the food quality drops. You will know if the owner is there or not.
Overall, the place is a solid 4.5 when its not busy and the owner is helping in the kitchen....
