This place doesnt know how to make real Italian foods. Theres an Irish redhead as the owner. He uses no herbs, no veggies, and no meat in his sauce. Tastes like canned stewed tomatoes over noodles. Marinara that doss not stick to psta.

This place is awesome! Been several times - most recently did the Mini mix Panino with a soup - this is a perfect combo. Love the cowboy and most recently the Prime Rip!

Paninos is hands down 1 of the best Italian restaurants in the area. The food is always top-notch, and the service always comes with the most professional attitudes and characteristics. I love this place. It's an awesome place for family dinner or a date night. ?
The lasagna was really good. Came out super hot, melty mozzarella on top, plenty of ricotta inside, and a nice big piece of toasted bread with it. My husband's pizza was disappointing in the the crust wasn't crispy. The top was browned perfectly just the bottom wasn't.

For the chicken Parmigiana to be $19 is insanity. Definitely not worth that much. Cheaper to stay home and make it.

Many things on the menu it was hard to pick just one, they all sounded so yummy. . We joined the wait-list with a ten minute wait, so we knew it would be busy when we decided to commit our night out to this diner. It was very crowded as we got seated but our waitress was very eager to serve us, she was apologetic as she mentioned it only 3 servers were on duty at the moment. We ordered our food and waited patiently. When our food arrived so did our first beverage refill. The food we ordered was delicious, but we hadn't seen our waitress for quite some time after our food was delivered to our table. Once we ran out of liquids to wash down the food, we found it hard to continue eating. We were not attended to for nearly 30-45 minutes. We expected slow service from the current excess of patrons, but hoped service quality would pick up when the restaurant started to empty. Our drinks were dry within 10 minutes of receiving our entree. After many of the patrons departed, servers were bussing down tables and closing down areas of the restaurant that didn't have any guests. In our view we could see maybe 5-6 more couples in the diner, seemed like service was provided consistently to the others. We had been waiting for about 20 minutes for someone to even check on us, in the meanwhile we are not eating and do not seem to be enjoying ourselves. After another 5 minutes the waitress asked if we needed refills, "YES PLEASE," I probably said with a bit of aggression. She also asked for boxes and we requested desert. We did not see or hear from our waitress for maybe another 10 more minutes. She finally came back with our refills and I was able to pick back up eating my dinner. I just felt very neglected by the lack of attention we received.

The service and food were good and quite fast, despite the fact that the place was full, a good place with families with many children, I liked the atmosphere.

My wife and I came in to taste test some food to possibly cater for our wedding celebration! 1000/10!!! The food was absolutely mind blowing!!!!!!!! The salads are fresh, the garlic bread is sooo tasty, the lasagna and Alfredo were DELICIOUS!!! McKenna was sooo sweet and attentive! She had such good vibes & made the experience so awesome! Patrick also talked to us about catering and offered sooo much helpful information and suggestions. He was also extremely accommodating and very nice!!!These kind people definitely made the drive from Denver to the springs worth it! :) we will be back!!
Just want to say, as a celiac, I have a mildlyfrustrating experience eating out to the point that I just rarely do it anymore. I really appreciated that they had a dedicated GF menu. That takes the guess work out of ordering and just makes the whole process a lot easier. The GF panini bread was fantastic. The $6 Gf tax stings a bit, but I’ll be coming back because of the care put into the menu and the quality of the food.

Service and atmosphere were great. Food was meh at best, hubs says slightly better than Olive Garden (which he hates). We both got Chicken Parm and were disappointed, as the chicken just tasted a bit old or microwaved. The house salad was the best part of our meal which is not saying a lot. We got Canolli's to go, they were good but we have had better.

I have been going to panion's on 8th street for over 15 year's.I ordered the Popeye Panion which has always been my favorite.When I began to eat the Panion I noticed that the sandwich was missing bacon, onion's.which is also noted on the menu.I contacted the restaurant and explained what took place.They offered to replace my Popeye Panion.On Friday, February 2024 I reordered the Popeye Panion.I informed the person ordering three times not to forget the bacon, onion's.No bacon, onion's for the second time !!This shortage of ingredients is telling me that this restaurant is cheating, short changing the customer.Extremely disappointing !! This restaurant would do this to their customers.
