Gillian was above and beyond great. There was live music which made the atmosphere even better (thank you Tommy LaRocca). The wait for food was a bit longer than usual but it was worth it. It's best to make reservations because it got packed!.

Had a great dinner here. Kelly, our server, was wonderful!! There was a lot going on during a busy Saturday night rush, but she made us feel well attended to! Service had some delays but for reasons outside of our servers control. We had many people come to our table to ensure our dishes would be out shortly. Pro tip- get the eggplant as an add onto your salad. You wont regret it. Panini Grill management- please give your staff the credit they deserve! EVERYONE was hustling tonight! Spumoni? A+

This is my favorite place to bring friends and family. The food is consistently delicious—I would do anything for their Burrata Tower—and the atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. The service is top-notch as well; my favorite waitress, Kelly, always makes the experience even better. I highly recommend Panini Grill to everyone.

Panini grill and restaurant in Staten Island, WOW, WOW WOW, PROBABLY one of the best restaurants in the area...bread is warm, the sangria pitcher served 10 wine glasses, and the food was delicious, steak like butter. We ordered the T Bone, again, just WOW. We left there, like that was a meal!!! Don't miss out in this place!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Laurie Ann Di Maio · Mar 2025

I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for years and have always enjoyed my experiences here. For my mother’s 78th birthday and my own 56th, I chose to celebrate at this location, as it has always been a favorite. Our server, Kathleen, provided exceptional service—she went above and beyond to accommodate us, ensuring we had a wonderful experience despite one major issue. Unfortunately, the food from the brunch menu did not meet expectations. The kitchen served our meals cold, which was disappointing, especially for a party of five. I typically do not send food back, but on this occasion, I had to return both my meal and my daughter’s. The Eggs in Purgatory dish, which I was particularly excited to try, did not live up to its reputation and was quite underwhelming. That being
