Howdy everybody!! Had to stop by here for a nice coffee break and good bite after getting smacked in the face with something so delicious. Place is really cozy and reminds me of home. Especially with the Pac-Man machine. Employees are all very nice and on point with ordering. I ended up getting the steak flank wrap, garlic truffle fries and the Nutella latte. Latte was definitely refreshing after walking around for bit in the warm sun. Garlic truffle fires were so crispy and were packing a lot of heat with the garlic and Parmesan cheese on it. Scrumptious. Lastly the steak wrap was so good. Couldn't take myself away from every single bite Would recommend this place read more

Been a regular at Panino Rustico for years and have been to other locations. This one slaps, just like the rest. Very friendly service. Get their creamy basil dressing and buy some to take home, thank me later. P44 is my go-to but honestly all paninis and crepes are good. read more

Panino Rustico - chicken panini and spring mix salad - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The service is amazing. The panino choices are abundant. My personal fav is the p16 and the goat cheese bruschetta. Never a bad meal.

I've enjoyed their sandwiches many time, notably, the pastrami panini. Today, the pickles they used were thicker than the pastrami given. I get that costs have gone up and shown in the price charged. But, reducing the main ingredient and enhancing sandwich height with thicker pickles is wrong. I'm just sad and disappointed. read more

Whenever people ask what's my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood, Panino Rustico is always my answer. It is a casual Italian spot for panini, crepes and coffee. The owner and their staff are super friendly. This is a place that everyone will feel like home ＊savory crepe w. smoked ham, cherry tomato mozzarella and basil pesto For mains, I really love their savory crepes. The savory crepe I got this time was generously stacked with multiple layers of smoked ham and overflowing amount of cherry tomatoes. While for dessert, don't sleep on their sweet crepes (I like their banana nutella and cinnamon sugar). ＊bruschetta w. mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto ＊bruschetta w. asparagus, parmigiano reggiano and truffle oil Our go-to order is their bruschetta with mozzarella and tomatoes for sharing. The sourdough is perfectly crispy. ＊panini w. smoked salmon, goat cheese, red onion, avocado & truffle oil ＊panini w. grilled chicken, fontina, bacon, hot pepper, avocado,honey mustard Of course you have to try their signature panini with toppings of your choice! ＊spring mix with grape tomato, cranberries, walnuts, avocado, balsamic and olive oil Very refreshing. We added grilled chicken for some proteins. ＊iced mocha w. whipped cream Their iced mocha and iced cappuccino are also very authentic and delectable. Like a liquid tiramisu. read more

Beautiful cozy calm great service excellent food. I try new ones everytime (been coming for 20 years). This one I tried today was excellent it was the p12 mortadella with goat cheese arugula and mayo! Everything panini always. My husband is a p50 always . Glad this location has the fries now. Let me know if you guys have wine we will Be back soon! read more

Favorite place to get paninis from. They have a good variety. I mainly order delivery. Always fresh.

Love to see a place like this in an ever changing neighborhood. Went with a Proscuitto and fresh mozzarella panini with pesto and tomato. You got to choose the everything panini bread and when its toasted it adds that much more flavor. It was good and got the job done for lunch. I will add that its a bit pricey though with the panini and drink coming to $20 but in reality eating out is expensive these days anyway. The girls who work the front are friendly and the service is great. Definitely looking to come back and try some of their other paninis! read more

Very cool little place in Bay Ridge! We decided to stop after a walk along Shore Rd for a light lunch.

Panino Rustico - Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella and broccoli rabe - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered 26, grilled chicken with avocado & goat cheese, with everything panini. The panini itself was really good, but the chicken was a bit dry. My friend ordered 38 which was really good. I also ordered the nutella latte which is on the sweeter side of coffees and it was good. The mocha latte is a little less sweet compared to the nutella latte and was also really good. My group didn't have to wait and was seated immediately. Parking around the area is a little tough though as it's residential. Servers were very sweet. There are many tables that could sit 2-6. Great for grabbing brunch with your friends! read more

I happen to love Panino in bensonhurst. Well, i did up until mayb a year ago. I still go because the food is delicious. My issue is the price. It's extremely expensive and any little thing you add on has a price and u don't even get a full amount. I would be there a few times a week instead of twice a month if the prices were better and lately the service is extra slow only when the Boss is not there and that's a shame. All and all food amazing. price and service can be worked on. read more

When I come back to the old neighborhood, I love stopping by for a bite at Panino Rustico, tonight, we had, Caesar salad, fresh, Burata with tomato and The veggie wrap. We were served by Mia, who was a delight, she was very quick and efficient taking our orders. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I give panino rustico five stars, if you live in Brooklyn or visit often I suggest you come here!! read more

Service sucked, plain and simple. There were three young ladies there that did barely anything. Took forever to clean tables, to take the order to do anything really. Food was okay, nothing especial. Very disappointed. read more

I was craving crepes and saw that this was the closest spot that sells them. I wasn't even planning on ordering a panini but good thing I did. The crepe was okay, but that's not something easy to mess up. Let's get back to the panini. Ordered a P50. Steak, pepper jack, yellow cheese, bacon, red onion, and chipotle mayo, and it came with a side of potato salad (which i think you only get when you dine in). I loved how it had the perfect crunch! And it tasted so good!! Excited to try other paninis from here. read more

Thankful for local spots staying open and feeding us in this pandemic. Truly Grateful. We must have drove by this spot so many times but never got food from here. My only guess is - while working in the city - panini spots are a dime a dozen, and I usually pick up dinner in the city. COVID changed the way we live, the way we eat and where to eat. Had the opportunity to try a few paninis here and it was a hit for my family. Really love their roast chicken & broccoli rabe, porchetta & broccoli rabe (both reminds me so much of the Dinic roast pork & broccoli rabe sandwich in the Reading Terminal Market in Philly). Make it EXTRA - add the "everything" panini!!! - it's like a jar of the Trader Joe's everything but the bagel seasoning! So good!!! My kids love the chicken & bacon, and anything with prosciutto in it! We have this place on our dinner rotation when we just want something quick for dinner. So glad they stayed open and continues to feed this Bensonhurst community. #goodeats #theyelplife read more

I've been wanting to try the Paninis from here and finally got to. The picture attached is actually from my 2nd visit since I forgot to take a picture on my first visit. On my first visit, I ordered a chicken panini (forgot which one specifically). I felt out crunchy the outside of the panini was that I got too excited and forgot to take a picture, and after 1 bite I didn't stop till it was all gone. The sandwich was sooo good, perfect taste, perfect texture, perfect proportions of everything. The very next day I had to try another panini just to be sure that other items were good as well. On my second visit, I ordered a P33 (Hot pastrami, swiss cheese (but I switched it out for pepper jack instead), mustard, and pickles) to go. The reason why I chose pastrami was because I'm very picky when it comes to pastrami and figured this would be a miss. But I was wrong, this was also so good! Might be on a mission to try every panini here! read more

Panino Rustico - P33. Hot pastrami, swiss cheese (but I switched it out for pepper jack instead), mustard, and pickles (DELICIOUS) - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always a treat when I stop by for a panini! The prices are a bit expensive but it makes up for it in that the portions are quite big and the ingredients taste fresh. I personally love getting any of their paninis with prosciutto. Also it's a MUST to get it on an everything bagel ($1 more). The bread is on the salty side but still worth it! My only feedback is that every time I get it, I notice the bread always gets quite burnt. read more

I've been wanting to find a cafe that reminds me of the old neighborhood where people float in and out sharing stories, commentary, and updates on family members everyone seems to know from around the way. I felt so taken care of by the staff. It's not customer service, but more like how they treat patrons from around the way. I took my time with their mortadella and fontina savory crepe partly because it was massive, but also because the conversation around me was such a mixed bag. All of their espresso drinks are made authentic to what you would get in Italy. Our server even explained what to expect in the kindest warmest way. Add to that his friendly banter and a cannoli and how can you not fall in love with this place? read more

Hands down the best paninis I've ever had! They have such a diverse selection of different sandwiches to choose from! I've tried their chicken sandwich, smoked salmon and goat cheese, but my go to order is always the OG caprese. You can't go wrong with that melty mozarella cheese paired with tomato and pesto. Such a classic combination! I also tried their sweet Nutella crepes - SO good!! The crepe is perfectly chewy and soft and tastes amazing if you want to end your meal with a dessert. Highly recommend their panini sandwiches here and the crepes! read more

Panino Rustico sets the gold standard for paninis - they've absolutely mastered their craft. Each sandwich is perfectly put together with great flavor combinations, & you really can't go wrong with any panini you choose. Also, they don't skimp on the portions - each sandwich is more than enough to share between 2 people. I stopped by to order a few paninis to go (P20, P35, P48), and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in providing recommendations. My parents and I really enjoyed our lunch, & we'll definitely be back! Highly recommend stopping by this neighborhood gem! read more

The service is great! The iced coffee is also very good! You can't go wrong with any of the salads. However, try and stay away from their grilled chicken and the turkey. The grilled chicken is always full of veins and the turkey is slimy. There are many other paninis to choose from. read more

My favorite panini spot when I'm in the Bensonhurst area. Everything is freshly made and if you order it's ready to pick up very quick. I have tried their other panini which are also good as well but my go to panini is P34 - Roast beef with mozzarella and gravy. The roast beef is tasty and moist; bread is just pressed and toasted just enough, the mozz adds a bit of cheesiness, and the gravy just yummy! read more

Been coming here since middle school and the quality is just as good if not better! Dined in for a quick lunch, ordered P38 and P24 - both were delicious! P38 had chicken, avocado, bacon and honey mustard - a great combo. The P24 had prosciutto, mozzarella, sun dried tomato and fresh basil, the flavors worked well but was a bit salty for my taste. Overall great place for paninis (massive portions) and friendly staff too! read more

Post Covid has definitely impacted the quality of the food slightly, hence the 4/5 stars, but it is still a very solid restaurant for paninis in the heart of Bensonhurst. The menu is really large, but don't expect to eat there as there are limited seats. I've had about 10-15 different paninis since I wanted to try everything from the roast beef to the capri panini. Both pickup and delivery are very on point, with the food remaining hot even after it was delivered. Small homey vibe inside the place, but again, don't expect to sit down and enjoy your panini on premise. read more

When you need your salty prosciutto fix, there is no better place to go than Panino Rustico. Every time I've done a takeout order, it's for the same thing - a panini packed with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, and balsamic. Call me a creature of habit, but it's SO good. I'm usually super full and can't even think about dessert, but next time I swing by, I'll definitely have to order one to give a try. read more

Bomb paninis that hit the spot every time. Will definitely continue to return. Called for pickup and my order was ready within 10-15 minutes. Minimal contact, staff are friendly, and the paninis come out fresh and delicious. My personal favorite go to is P35 with chipotle mayo- IT'S SO GOOD!! (P35 is turkey, fontina, bacon, avocado, with creamy basil dressing) read more

I ordered to pick up on a weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at the fact that every table was occupied. I ordered the E6 which was the apple fig with balsamic glaze and grilled chicken and it was very good. The chicken was nicely seasoned and actually grilled with a smoky taste. Also got the A4 which was mixed cured meats and cheese and it was delicious. Very good place to have lunch and coffee! read more

So many different types of paninis to choose from but all of them are equally tasty. Came here on a weeknight and brought my dog along. It's great that there is outdoor seating here. My wife had P20 and I had P34. Both were delicious. It's great to bite into a panini that is crispy and hot. We also had smoothies that were nice and refreshing. The waitstaff here is very friendly and attentive. They even gave my dog his own water bowl! $10 for a panini is worth it as it is filling. Remember, this place is CASH ONLY. read more

The food has always been amazing and most of the workers are friendly and very accommodating. Just make sure that you check your receipt (if you order delivery) and want to add a tip. This has happened to me so many times with them!! I place the order over the phone, tell them to ADD THE TIP to my credit card and they always "yes" me to death instead of adding the damn tip! so the poor delivery guy gets no tip. This should not be this difficult! read more

Love their crepes. My favorite one is the strawberry, banana, and Nutella. One portion is enough for two people to share.

Definitely a hidden gem in Bensonhurst. Our table of three arrived on a Saturday around 11 AM and luckily was seated with minimal wait time. Although their menu focuses on panini's, they do offer a variety of breakfast foods and crepes. I ordered a P15 - Mozzarella with tomato, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil ($6.99). The food was delicious and definitely lives up to the high praises previous yelp reviews provided. The bread had just the right amount of crispiness and the ingredients tasted very fresh. Our waitress came around several times to check up on us and to ensure everything was to our liking. Only downside I experienced was feeling a bit rushed towards the end, but understandable because it was starting to get crowded. If I'm ever in the neighborhood I would definitely return for their paninis and crepes. FYI - CASH ONLY read more

I fall in love with this place each day !! Paninis super good and juicy Crepe so yummy not dry and for 4$ i love the cup of icecream they gave me Most likely gonna order here everyday read more

Called for pickup - was super quick and easy. Seamless transaction. Minimal contact was really appreciated. You couldn't have asked for a better experience. When I got home, paninis were perfect. We ordered the p18 (prosciutto) p50 (flank steak) and p20 (chicken). My favorite was the prosciutto! Will definitely be reordering the prosciutto next time. The flank steak was very flavorful as well. The chicken was lacking some sauce (I forgot to ask!!!!) but overall very clean and simple. Will definitely be back here soon. Also- don't forget the iced cap!! read more

The owner is very friendly and takes good care of the property and store..., they're very busy all the time. The parking is killer though. Too many cars double and in crosswalks blocked and fire hydrant's . Always seems hectic outside. read more
