Panineria NYC in New York

"Amazing cozy itallian spot. The food is really incredible, the staff are friendly. The pesto is super fresh. Light, balanced anf filled with flavor. We got their Mushroom truffle and it is by far my favorite pasta. The flavors are mellow they allow the mushrooms and truffle to really shine through. Their tomato sauce is bold and bright. We got the tasted eggplant pasta with tomato sauce and it hit the right spot. The garlic bread was also really good especially when used to soak up that remaining pasta sauce."

"The food was amazing! We ordered the pasta and meatballs and the peppe sandwich. The pasta sauce and meatballs were delicious, and the sandwich ingredients were all very fresh. Liza was also very helpful and split both of our entrees to share, which was very thoughtful."

"Some of the best sandwiches around! Pictured is a new one I tried, the Cremona (mortadella, burrata, crushed pistachios). I ordered it hot on focaccia and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The Fresh Truffle is decadent, but not cheap. Some of the classic sandwiches are very affordable ($11-13) and tasty. We’ll keep coming back!"

"Stumbled by this hidden Italian spot in the West Village — very intimate and the kindest staff members. I ordered their cooked ham and mozzarella baguette sandwich, the red onion focaccia, and eggplant parmesan. All were so fresh and flavorful, made in house. Highly recommend stopping by!"

"Absolutely amazing food and fantastic staff. Liza was super helpful with many recommendations and was so patient with us. Food came out quick, warm, and I could tell it was freshly made."

"The BEEEST Italian restaurant in NYC. I had the Caesar salad and the Bruschetta al Pomodoro and it was better than I even expected. The recipes are authentic, the vibes are so nice and comfy, the food is presented beautifully, the portions are MASSIVE (you’re definitely gonna have to get some to-go) and everything tastes amazing, and they have the kindest and friendliest staff ever! They also have an amazing wine selection from all over Italy, you won’t get these wines anywhere else! If anyone in the city wants to eat Italian, they definitely have to come here."

"We were looking for a sandwich spot after our visit to the nearby Whitney Museum for the museum Friday nights. It was about 930 pm and this spot was still open. We were lucky to find a free parking spot just around the corner. First impression, as others have said, it is very cozy. Pleasant welcoming environment inside, there was plenty of tables inside and we decided to take a seat. A lot to look at in the restaurant. Much merchandising and a Tv in the corner playing scenes from Italy. All very beautiful and nostalgic. Did I feel like I may have been transported to Italy for a minute? Yes, I think so. The sandwiches are reasonably priced and we went with a Chicken parm and meatball parm. I didn’t go with one of the bread options for an extra cost. We also went with the Italian sodas. The sandwhiches were bountiful and very filling. Artisanal if that makes sense. Delicious too. Now the criticism. As I always point out. I have a thing about restaurant front doors. This one stayed open and it was cold and windy outside. I’m glad I decided to sit on the bench seat but if I hadn’t I would have the wind blowing on me. Another gripe. These delivery drivers picking up orders. They ruin the dining vibe coming in, leaving the door open, talking on their phones, dressed like dirty slobs. All in black, helmets on, face covered, did I say dirty, and no regard to diners. It really takes away from the experience."

"The place is barely noticeable and plain from the outside, but as soon as you step inside that changes. Fun and cozy decorations with a nice vibe. Service was unexpectedly good for that area and such a small place. Our server, Julio was quick, friendly and professional with knowledge of the menu and great suggestions. Food and desserts were really good. Freshly made for sure. Reasonably priced too. Torre del Grecco sandwich and the Tiramisu are a must try. We were told that they do delivery and catering. Overall a great and affordable diner experience"
