This is an absolute gem! Food--incredible. Staff--amazing. Jack went above and beyond to give us great service and overly cautious and helpful with our sons food because he has severe food allergies. I can't recommend this place enough! Thank you so much! read more

Great food, ambiance, and service is amazing! You must go there! Louie, Jack, and the staff make this a great place to eat.

Panino Rustico can do no wrong! I may sound like a fan girl, an I admit, I am! They are among my favorite cafés ever. They hit every single cafe requirement for the perfect cafe. 1. The food is amazing. They have a huge menu page worth of Paninis. You can't go wrong! Salmon truffle, and prosciutto ones are my favorite. But roast beef was good too. Oh and the soups. They have two to three daily soups. The last time they had a tortellini one that I adored. 2. Coffee! Actually good coffee. And also options of lattes and cappuccinos. 3. Free wifi! Holy shit. It's near impossible to find free wifi around here. But they have it! And they have outlets! And they let you sit and do work. I work in the field writing reports so that's a big must for me. 4. Clean bathrooms. And actually just having a bathroom. Do you know how many cafés don't? Puts a real damper on hanging out in a place. 5. Great staff. All the girls working here have been very sweet and nice. 6. And finally for the summer there are outdoor tables in the front! So yeah. Can't do wrong. I tell you. Plus their prices are decent and the rainbow cookies are amongst the best. read more

Sat outside, and savored my smoked Salmon panini. The panini bread was crispy and fresh and very enjoyable. It was high end gourmet all the way. Had a giant coffee in a to go cup just the way I wanted it for my cinco de mayo hangover. Panini came with a little salad on the side that was also a nice touch. I love the location and cuteness of this place. That OK to say as a guy? read more

Panino Rustico - P4 tuna with red onions and olives! - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'd like to update my review after placing a few more orders through her while suffering a rather serious bout of illness that rendered me unable to leave the bed. The food, while not cheap, is of a very high quality. The coffee was one of the best I've ever had, the frozen hot chocolate was amazing, and the portions were satisfying and definitely homemade, as opposed to assembled from a mix or frozen ingredients (as far as I can tell anyway). I still don't favor the paninis for their high bread content, but everything else was created to perfection. Delivered in a timely fashion, friendly delivery man, and packaged very well and neatly despite being somewhat complicated. I would be very happy to continue ordering from this location. read more

Okay so, definitely a little pricey.. However, it's adorable and delicious ! I usually order some sort of panini, dessert or regular, and I'm never let down. I think that overall this place has a very nice charm to it! Even their waiters are great! They're always asking us if everything is okay, if they can do anything, and are always warm and welcoming. That definitely adds to the atmosphere :) Delicious place, a must try ! read more

The place is small but cute and they have outdoor seating. It is always busy and that's because the food is terrific. Sometimes you have to wait for a table. I've had the wraps and crepes but not the panini. The prices are reasonable and the wait staff are very attentive. I recently took my niece and nephew and I got a wrap and 2 kinds of crepes. I asked them to cut everything into 3 pieces so we could share each item. They went beyond my expectation and served each piece on its own plate with a little salad. Fantastic. It looked as good as the food tasted. I was very impressed at the level of service and presentation of the food. Overall it's a overlooked neighborhood gem. Parking is a challenge though. read more

Rude cashier. Food was okay. Place was crowded and I almost tripped. They gave me broken cookies and threw my sandwich on the table like they don't give a damn. Sad. read more

I am coming home late on a Friday night talking to my boyfriend about what we should eat for lunch the next day and all of a sudden a guy, who was supposedly in a deep slumber, awakens to our conversation and suggests Panino Rustico. With such a great plug for this place and the fact that it was close-by home, we ventured to this new spot in Bensonhurst. This cozy corner has plenty of dining tables for guests, as well as a skinny counter for those in want of some sun. The restaurant is family-owned and the staff is made up of its members. Our mystery person was the son of the owner and a great guy. He greeted us warmly when we entered the restaurant and made a concerted effort to make us feel welcomed. He also served us a complimentary plate of assorted cheeses, olives, and bread with olive oil! I ordered the smoked salmon with goat cheese, red onion, avocado, and truffle oil. They do not skimp on ingredients here: the goat cheese was creamy, the avocado freshly cut, and the red onion awakened my taste buds. The smoked salmon was thick and peeked out from the crispy, crunchy bread. However, I liked my boyfriend's panini even more than mine - the prosciutto with mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto. A thick slice of mozzarella held together home-made prosciutto. The basil pesto percolated through the layers and infused the bread, and pulled together a great sandwich. The sandwiches are sizeable, neither one of us could finish both halves. The great part about the proscuitto/mozzarella panini is that it reheated very well and maybe even better for a midnight snack =). In summary: Great neighborhood joint, great people, great sandwiches. read more

Great panini, glad I finally got to try this place for lunch. Ordered the 18 and 25 panini through yelp with the ceasar salad to share. Prepaid, and it's ready to pick up. If you're eating inside they are cash only. The panini tasted great and had the perfect proportions of everything. Salad ingredients were fresh. read more

Been in a little explorative mood lately, so I've been walking around the neighborhood looking for some decent food. Popped into Panino Rustico upon Yelp recommendations, and ordered the P20 (you can just tell them your order by number). You can dine in here, which is great, but they are cash only. The waitstaff were friendly enough; they asked if I wanted water while I waited. The P20 is a panini with grilled chicken, red pepper, basil pesto, arugula and mozzarella. The panini bread itself is nice - the crunch is there and provides a good texture contrast to the fillings. The grilled chicken is a bit bland and tough, but the rest of the sandwich comes together quite nicely. Overall, the panini is very solid, and if you live nearby, I definitely would recommend it, but it's not some place to trek out for. They also have smoothies, crepes, espresso drinks, so maybe I'll be back for a crepe! read more

Came here on a cold week night. Place is located in a residential area, as this is the only eatery on the block. The place is small and jam packed with patrons, wait time wasn't too long. There's a large selection of paninis, along with their other popular bruschetta and crepes choices as well. Me and my friend decided to share P.18, P.38, and the tomato basil brushcetta. All the dishes came out warm, fresh, and tasty. The paninis were savory and delicious with the right portions, we devoured it within minutes. This will be our new go-to spot when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Such an nice place to find among a residential area ! My boyfriend and I went to this cute little Panini spot in hopes for a good sandwich and we were not disappointed ! I ordered the Chicken, Pepper and Mozzarella Panini and it was delicious ! He ordered something along the lines of a Reuben. The menu has about 45 Panini choices and they also serve breakfast ( 2nd breakfast ?;) ) ! There is outside seating and seating indoors with cute petite tables. The inside of the café/bistro is modern and inviting. The waitresses are nice and helpful -- a casual feel to the service. The bathroom was tidy ( which is always a plus). Each Panini was about 9 -11 bucks, came with a tiny salad. Overall it was a awesome find and delicious spot I'll go back to. Cat approved ! read more

Seriously this place gets better every time I come here. Aside from the Paninis, which are still the best I ever had since my last review, and a great cup of coffee, the bruschetta here is off the chart! Don't miss out on the eggplant and goat cheese and the pomedoro, you will will not regret it. Wish they were open on Sundays because thats when my craving to come here is at its peak lol read more

This place accepts cash only. Found this place on yelp when I was looking for places to eat around my neighborhood. It's tiny on the inside, but there was a good amount of seating. I ordered the P18. Prosciutto with Fresh Mozzarella Panini and it was really tasty. The bread was toasty, the cheese was melty. The sandwich was really oily, the oil from the pesto was dripping. The sandwich also came with a small salad. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I would definitely come back! read more

Panino Rustico - P18 prosciutto with fresh mozzarella - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the best places for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. Inside there are 2 four seater tables, and 8 two seater tables. Outside there are about 8 tables or so. It's a quaint and cozy atmosphere. The place gets busy during certain hours and they are big on take out and delivery also. The service was great and the food was amazing. It's true they only accept cash but I quickly noticed two visible signs when I walked in and the atmosphere machine in plain view was very obvious. But really that's a small detail because their crepes are to die for. I also had an iced cappacino and a pineapple coconut smoothie. Try it and you will be hooked. read more

Panino Rustico makes delicious paninis! I usually get their melted mozzarella panini with tomato, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil with a side of creamy basil sauce. I've also had their chicken panini with broccoli rabe and the prosciutto panini. All three are good and must get it with their creamy basil sauce. read more

Panino Rustico - Earth day panini with turkey. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cool neighborhood spot, amazing sandwiches selection, great coffees, staff are super nice

I was craving panini for a really long time and then I found this place. Panini craving was MORE than satisfied. Panini were REALLY fulling and delicious. I only had half of the whole panini and I was full. Had the panini delivered and by the time it got here, it was still crunchy and not soggy. The panini was packed with the ingredients. Definitely worth the money. The grilled salmon was delicious. Not a fan of the goat cheese but it went well with the grilled salmon and avocado. Decided to also get a crepe and it was good but next time, I might ask them to side the hershey's chocolate and pour it on myself when I get the food. I will definitely order from here again. read more

First time ordering here for delivery! I ordered the P18 with an everything panini. Probably should've ordered just the plain panini because with the prosciutto and everything it kind of got a little too salty. The mini cannolis are SO GOOD. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte but received an iced coffee instead and it was pretty watered down. Basically got charged more but received something that's cheaper. But that's fine, at least it was still good though. Delivery guy was also super nice! Overall good experience. Looking forward to dining at the restaurant next time! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally came. It was small, cute, and had outdoor seating which is always a plus for me, especially on a nice day. I ordered the P20 on the everything panini and it was pretty good except the bread was a little burnt. It was nothing special but overall good food. However, I wish I knew two things before coming. First, that it's cash only!! And second, you can bring your own wine. I would probably come back here if I'm in the area. read more

Do not ever order anything with Nutella!! They charge you for the Nutella and they don't even use it. They drizzle a little bit of chocolate syrup and call it Nutella. I ordered the Nutella crepes and was extremely disappointed. The crepes were well made but very disappointed that they lied. read more

I am obsessed with their creamy basil dressing! I ordered the turkey panini with fontina, bacon and avocado on a everything flatbread. Presented with a small side of mixed greens and the panini was hot pressed to my liking. Let's not forget their corn chowder soup!!! It's creamy and delicious. I also had their grilled chicken panini with avocado and goat cheese with balsamic glaze. I wasn't a fan of the glaze since it was too overwhelming. Other than that, everything else that I tried lived up to my expectations. Just keep in mind that they only take cash. read more

The choices are amazing the food is incredible but there's a bit of a wait , to be expected when everything is made when ordered also a little pricey again worth it !!! read more

Fresh food & quick delivery with unique combinations sure to please diverse palates. The food was very fresh. I had the chicken panini w Fontana cheese, hot pepper, avocado & bacon. Out of this world! Cheese was nicely melted even when it was delivered! I also ordered the nutella crepe with strawberries. O.M.G! Well worth the calories. read more

Panino rustico is just one of those places everyone in brooklyn has to try at least once. I tried it once and keep coming back. Their signature paninis are well known for a reason; they're quite literally perfect. I always get the p16 with salmon, goat cheese, and avocado and it never disappoints. My boyfriend usually switches up his order so I get to try some of his and they're excellent; the prosciutto one especially. The service is great, very friendly, vibe is great, and they have outdoor seating which is a plus in my book. Go to brunch place! have yet to try the frozen hot chocolate! Highly recommend this place. read more

Panino Rustico - My delicious salmon avocado goat cheese panini - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came on a Saturday evening - no wait for seats. Very welcoming, cozy atmosphere. We were seated by the kitchen. The menu is simple and straightforward. I was so excited to try the Everything Panini. I ordered a P18 (prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil pesto) and forgot to mention that I wanted it on the Everything panini. The server didn't ask and it defaulted to Whole Wheat. When it came out, they kindly changed mine but my friends wanted that one as well weren't so lucky. The panini comes with a small side of salad. The panini itself tasted great. The bread was really crunchy and kind of cuts the roof of your mouth by the end of it but... worth it. The "everything" in bread added a little kick to the sandwich. The prosciutto was super tasty with mozzarella cheese and pestoooo. The service was just okay, didn't refill our waters until we asked. And when we did, the server refilled my friends' cups but my cup was almost empty, and didn't get a refill until I asked again. When we left the spot, our clothes had a really strong oily smell. Not sure if it was where we were seated. We were too full to try a crepe but next time for sure! I'll be back :) read more

This spot is a great breakfast/lunch/dinner option. The breakfast is sooo good (everything bagel or everything panini, scooped out with egg, with mozzarella or cheddar or Swiss cheese, salt + pepper), Lattes and Iced Cappucino's are excellent, salads are great because of all the add-in options (Caesar salad), and of course the desserts (rainbow cookies) have just the right amount of jelly! The staff is a few girls whom all were very nice to me every time I visited or called. Delivery guys are great as well - polite + manners. This spot you can't go wrong. They do have an outside area to have a cup of coffee or lunch. Definitely visit this place! read more
