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

Tried Panico’s for the first time while visiting Cape May for our first wedding anniversary. Wow! I wish we found this place sooner. We were lucky enough to make a same-day reservation online and got seated right on time. The food was excellent as was the service from our waitress, Maureen. We topped the night off with coffee/espresso and a pizza to go. Can’t wait to come back!

Both the food and service was stellar at this place. Not overpriced and very friendly service. Also conveniently made a reservation using OpenTable (few places in Cape May accept reservations, so this was an added plus!).

The food here is amazing! HUGE portions so you could easily share plates. The bread is unreal. Definitely worth visiting while in Cape May!

Best meal we have had in Cape May. Viviana was out server and she was personable, attentive and efficient. The Cesar salad was excellent and served with some of the best bread I have ever eaten! We came in to eat the whole fish but decided on pasta which did not disappoint. The vegetable sides of spinach and asparagus could not be faulted. We saw the pizza and the whole fish being served to a nearby table and we made another reservation to go back two days after the first. This restaurant is excellent and Viviana is an asset to it and to the hospitality industry in which she is working.

Great service and food. A little loud due to the high ceilings as it’s a converted church. BYOB. Takes reservations and highly suggest that. Line was out the door when we left.

Had dinner while visiting cape may for the 2nd time. Have to say service and food was amazing. We had 1 person in our group that has a nut allergy and they were very accommodating and cautious to making sure it did not come in contact with nuts. The food was tasty and service was phenomenal. Pizza was delicious and cooked to perfection. Also the clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had!!!

I want to love this place. The food is great! But the service has never been without problems for me in the countless times I have been or placed to go orders. In fairness to the staff, I think it is at least in large part because the acoustics are so bad that the noise level in the restaurant makes it difficult to hear the order. But they could at least repeat it back to confirm that they heard it accurately. The atmosphere inside would be very nice if they could control the noise better (either by dampening or putting fewer people inside). My husband and I could not hear each other

Food was excellent! The portions are quite large and the food is full of heartiness. Ordered seafood pasta and they made sure to include a large amount of seafood like I was hoping. Our waitress was excellent, responsive, and overall very helpful. The food is a bit pricy but can be taken home for another meal or two!
