    We sat in an area, that every time the door was opened, there was a rush of cold air. I ordered pasta with sauce. Nothing fancy, just pasta. The pasta was WAY WAY OVER COOKED. If my wife had not insisted I would have sent it back. I'd be very reluctant to return and reluctant to recommend.

    Our seat was next to the server station back near the bathrooms so it was just so so. Overall, the food was good, but the pizza was burnt on the bottom. I would suggest requesting it to be lightly cooked. The other disappointing thing is you get charged for refills on your iced tea. $5.00 each!!! So, we spent $20.00 for 4 cups of iced tea.

    Our dinner was fabulous. We ordered the clam chowder which had many fresh clams and a couple in the shell on top and the special salad with warm pears, goat cheese, and walnuts. They were both very tasty. Our entrees were two large , white pizzas. One with clams and garlic and the other with sausage, broccoli rabe, and smoked mozzarella. They were excellent. The crust was nice and crispy . We sat in front of the brick pizza oven which made it warm & cozy. Our server, Natalie, a sweetheart, was very friendly and attentive. Panico's staff is great. We had a fun evening. Thank you, Max, for a perfect evening ! Looking forward to dining here again soon.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal with an uptown , friendly atmosphere. The tomato and crab appetizer was delicately fried and light. The halibut entree was a treat as was the Verde pizza! We will definitely return to try others. Thanks to our wait staff who are welcoming and knowledgeable.
