Panino Rustico

Favorite Panini spot ever! Working down their list to try every Panini combo they offer. So far they are all sooooo good!

Great local spot. Everything on that menu is delicious. The crepes are a must have. I never have to wait long for a delivery either.

Always a great little restaurant whenever I decide to come here on a whim. I always get the pastrami panini which never disappoints. The smoothies are delicious and are great with any meal. You cannot leave this place without trying their dessert crepes. They taste just as good as they look. The girls that work here are always friendly and attentive.

Walked in today since this place was chilling in my bookmarks for a while, and since it’s close by I figured why not? Soo glad that I came in to finally try this place since I know that this won’t be another place that I’m crossing off my bookmarks and forgetting.
Although they are well known for their paninis, don’t hesitate to get their savory crêpe. It truly is SAVORY & cheaper ;). I ordered the last one down the list (fontina, turkey, basil sauce) and from start to finish it was delicious. These crepes are shaped like a rectangle as opposed to some cylindrical ones that you might see/​eat. From the outer crisp corners, you can taste how delicious the batter is. From the middle, you can taste generous chunks of turkey and cheese. The basil sauce they put on top is lip licking good & I wouldn’t mind if they did a few more squiggles of that on my crêpe.
I also had a bite of my boyfriend’s panini (proscuitto, mozz, tomato & basil pesto sauce). It was a great panini, but I still prefer my crêpe over his. Also had 1.25 mini canoli’s to finish off and they were great.
P. S. I think the online menu prices might be cheaper than what it actually is.
P.P.S They have really cute local & regular customers who sing along to the music playing

LOVE. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEIR CREAMY BASIL. I mean, if I could have one last meal I’d have the panini with grilled chicken, goat cheese, avocado and creamy basil. I would die happy.

The place is small in size, but not small in taste! They have a nice variety of wraps and fresh and delicious. For lunch, many people are willing to wait 30 mins just for a pain or wraos. They also make smoothies, also quite good. Had a blueberry banana smoothie. They also have an espresso machine, hot and strong! The waitresses are young, cute and very customer centric. This is a nice place to go for a quick bite with fresh delicious food. They only take cash, and they have an ATM on site.

The panini was amazing! I am huge on toasted bread, but not so much on deli meats, but to my surprise, it was far better than I expected. We ordered P12, P20, and P35, and P35 was by far the best of the 3. P35 had turkey, bacon, avocado, and the basil dressing. Usually, I’m not a fan of turkey meat, but I was blown away by how well the layers went together. The basil dressing was wonderful and when paired with the avocado, it moistened the turkey and melted in my mouth, creating a really smooth and pleasant texture. The crisped bacon provided a contrast in textures – and honestly, bacon makes everything taste better. If the panini was 2% insufficient before the bacon, the bacon completed the deal and kicked it up a notch. It was definitely one that I would make the commute to Brooklyn for again and again!
The other 2 we ordered was alright, but definitely lacking in comparison to P35. The goat cheese in P12 was not to my liking, but goat cheese is one of those ingredients that is an acquired taste. The sun-​dried tomatoes were really fragrant – by scent alone, P20 was definitely a winner, but for me, it wasn’t enough to pull the entire sandwich together and elevate it the same way P35 was elevated. Overall, this place is definitely worth trying!

My favorite place to order lunch from! Only complaint is that they never place the coffee separately and it often spills out. Other than that, everything is always fresh and grilled to perfection. Mmm mmm mmm!

This was the first time I ate at Panino Rostico, and I can tell you right now, this is not the last time. But before that, I am a sucker for simple food cooked properly, so you probably understand why I was so excited to find a place that make simple food, and at the same time no less than amazing. My point is that: it doesn’t have to fancy restaurant, that you need to wait a week for a seat, or to charge so much money that you will make 1000% profit. Just offer good food, people will appreciate it.
Ok, enough, now to the food: Panini! Not too dry, not too liquid, little crispy (I asked to give it extra 2 minutes). Sometime I am writing reviews, and hope they won’t make the place so famous, that next time I will not find a seat.
Just improve the coffee, and they will have me forever!

Food here is to die for! Extremely fresh and tasty. I ordered delivery and it came by really quick and the food was still hot. I ordered the chicken caesar wrap, nutella and strawberry crepes, and the mozzerella and tomato bruschetta (Which totalled 20 $ with tip). All of which were delightful! I highly reccomend either ordering or eating in this place!

Found this place a month ago and it has has never disappointed me, I’ve ordered at least 10 times over the last month and finally remember to write them a review.
Their food comes in big portion and tastes really good. I’ve tried their panini, the bread is crispy on the outside, soft on inside, and the ingredients are fresh, really the best I’ve tried in New York. The bread is not too thick so the female friends I brought here didn’t have to worry about too much carb xD
The crepes are not too sweet, goes really well with the Americano, should definitely try it.
Staffs are super friendly and helpful. This is now my favorite spot :)

Been in a little explorative mood lately, so I’ve been walking around the neighborhood looking for some decent food.
Popped into Panino Rustico upon Unilocal recommendations, and ordered the P20 (you can just tell them your order by number). You can dine in here, which is great, but they are cash only. The waitstaff were friendly enough; they asked if I wanted water while I waited.
The P20 is a panini with grilled chicken, red pepper, basil pesto, arugula and mozzarella. The panini bread itself is nice — the crunch is there and provides a good texture contrast to the fillings. The grilled chicken is a bit bland and tough, but the rest of the sandwich comes together quite nicely. Overall, the panini is very solid, and if you live nearby, I definitely would recommend it, but it’s not some place to trek out for.
They also have smoothies, crepes, espresso drinks, so maybe I’ll be back for a crêpe!

Really yummy! My friends and I shared 3 different types of paninis and they were all extremely yummy! The hot roast beef the grilled chicken and the prosciutto were amazing! Also had the iced cappuccino and it was great. Will definitely be back!

Such an nice place to find among a residential area !
My boyfriend and I went to this cute little Panini spot in hopes for a good sandwich and we were not disappointed ! I ordered the Chicken, Pepper and Mozzarella Panini and it was delicious ! He ordered something along the lines of a Reuben. The menu has about 45 Panini choices and they also serve breakfast (2^nd breakfast ?;)) !
There is outside seating and seating indoors with cute petite tables. The inside of the café/​bistro is modern and inviting. The waitresses are nice and helpful — a casual feel to the service. The bathroom was tidy (which is always a plus). Each Panini was about 9 –11 bucks, came with a tiny salad.
Overall it was a awesome find and delicious spot I’ll go back to.
Cat approved !

My friends and I all ordered paninis; two prosciutto paninis and one grilled chicken. By far, this is one of the best paninis I’ve ever had except for one minor detail. Don’t get me wrong, I love salty food, but the prosciutto in mine left my mouth begging for water for the rest of the day.
Regardless of how salty my prosciutto panini with smoked mozarella and sundried tomatoes was, it satisfied my hunger throughout the entire day. The waitresses were friendly and we didn’t have to wait too long for our food! The interior of this little café was inviting especially with its little patio out in the front. I would definitely recommend Panino Rustico for a scrumptious lunch and I’d love to come back to try their crepes!

I was craving panini for a really long time and then I found this place. Panini craving was MORE than satisfied.
Panini were REALLY fulling and delicious. I only had half of the whole panini and I was full.
Had the panini delivered and by the time it got here, it was still crunchy and not soggy. The panini was packed with the ingredients. Definitely worth the money.
The grilled salmon was delicious. Not a fan of the goat cheese but it went well with the grilled salmon and avocado.
Decided to also get a crêpe and it was good but next time, I might ask them to side the hershey’s chocolate and pour it on myself when I get the food.
I will definitely order from here again.

Can we talk about p18 for a second? Because between the prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and pesto sauce I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. Perfect ingredient proportion, amazing flavor and even a small fresh salad on the side literally brought me to a small piazza in the center of Rome.
For dessert we had the sweet crêpe with Nutella, strawberries and banana doused in whipped cream. I’m pretty sure the description does enough justice for the dish.
The service was on point and I’m glad they have a small outdoor seating area for a cool summer evening.

Small little café located on 17^th ave. Great place for breakfast, lunch, brunch, desserts, or just plain oh coffee. I’ve been to Panino Rustico twice so far I’ve enjoyed both visits. Everything is extremely affordable and service is great. Everyone is just so friendly there! It’s CASH ONLY but they have an ATM available. Although it’s a small café they also offer outdoor seating. Another plus is BYOB!
Would I go back? Most definitely!

PROS:
— The Paninis are really good!
— P24 — Mozzarella, Basil, Proscuitto, and Sundried Tomato Panini
— Strawberry crêpe — they offer to split the crêpe in half for us because they noticed we were sharing it.
— Has tables outside if you want to lounge in the sun.
— Good Ice Coffee
THE OKAY:
— Earl Grey Tea
— Iced Green Tea
— Bruschetta plate — I know its not the same as crostinis but I like crostinis better because the bread is not as thick.
CON:
— Cash ONLY

Delicious paninis! It’s a small café located in an Italian residential area and I could definitely feel the Italian vibes once I entered the place haha. Service was very nice. The waiters constantly went around asking diners if they needed anything. There was also a guy who forgot his CD’s on the table and one of the waiters actually went outside to chase after him to give them back to him!
I got the Panini with grilled chicken, mozzarella, peppers, arugala, and pesto and thought it tasted amazing! All of the ingredients complimented each other really well and the bread was not too tough to chew on. It’s about $ 10 for one panini but it’s definitely possible to split it into two meals so the price is not that unreasonable.
This place sort of reminds me of Lioni’s Italian Heroes (which is close by…) because the sandwiches are so good! Definitely recommended if you’re in the area!
