floppy, wet, undercooked pizza. I ordered the burrata pizza (vodka sauce, burrata, basil), and it was borderline inedible. I felt as though a massive quantity of vodka sauce was dumped over raw dough and served. The pomodoro and sausage pizzas were extremely floppy and wet as well. Do not consider ordering from this place.

Unfortunately among the worst service we have received for the amount payed. The ambiance is fantastic, the hostesses are so sweet. The bread was delicious and my dinner was great. My husbands dinner (the Pinot pasta?) was incredibly mediocre. However our server only checked on us once. My water was empty. Didn’t check on us after we got our meal and forgot our sodas. We will not be returning. I won’t name the server in case she was having a bad day.

Not sure if this is a love letter but this may be my favorite restaurant of all time. It’s definitely my favorite place in Cape May. We’ve been coming here for years and make it a point to have at least one meal here each time. I’ve never ever had a bad meal here. The bread is baked fresh and served hot! Not warm but right out of the oven hot. I usually get the mussels as an app. They are spicy but tender and served with more bread to soak up the fabulous sauce. Last night we also had the fried Mozzarella balls. The mains were Baked Cavatappi and Italian Sausage, Garganelli & Pinot and the nightly special of linguine and clams. All three were amazing. The Garganelli & Pinot is hands down the best. I’ve gotten this the last 5-6 times I’ve eaten there and had a hard time not getting it. My wife had that and it was perfect as always and I got a few forkfuls to satisfy my craving. Tonight I went for a change and got the linguine. It was a decision I would not regret. The pasta literally melted in my mouth. You know when you expect to get 5-6 clams and a scattering of crab – this was NOT that. It was loaded with crab meat and little necks. I did sample the Cavatappi and it was great. A much sweeter red sauce then the mussels or the fried mozzarella, but paired perfectly with the sausage. The S’mores cake was good but probably not on par with the peanut butter bomb from last year. Please bring that back. Looking forward to keeping the tradition alive and coming back next year!

This place was awesome. My service was great as well! Had to try the brick oven pizza and was not disappointed. Got to try an eggplant dish which was probably the best eggplant I’ve ever tasted. It was fried perfectly. The pork chop came with these pillow like gnocchi that ruled. Lastly we got dessert which was a cheesecake and a peanut butter ball… very rich and delicious

My first time here and we loved it Read some of the reviews. Mostly good. Some bad… but took a chance and was pleasantly surprised! Have been coming to Cape May every year for over 20 years and this is our first time trying this place. We will definitely be back ‼️

Absolutely wonderful experience here. The patio is a perfect place to enjoy a beautiful night with amazing food. The Vongole pizza was definitely a highlight of the evening, as was that octopus. However, everything was fantastic. Love the complimentary focaccia and dipping oil, too.

The service, staff and the food are always exceptional at Panico’s!
Menu options are unique and the selections numerous to chose from…. something for everyone.
I wish I lived closer to enjoy more often but it is always on my list to visit whenever in Cape May. Not to miss… and a BYOB! Doesn’t get any better than that!
