THE LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS PLACE.... On the corner of 83rd and 17th you'll find this little gem. The restaurant is small but has outdoor seating for the warmer months. Sitting outside enjoying their delicious food is why I keep coming back for more. Their meat and cheese plates are fun to snack on as a little appetizer. All their soups are homemade and DELICIOUS. I was never a soup person and never will be unless it's here. Their salads are refreshing and their dressings are also homemade. TO THE PERSON WHO INVENTED THE CREAMY BASIL DRESSING: I WOULD KISS THE GROUNDS YOU WALK ON! I really do love that dressing. Now, the paninis, everything is fresh, homemade feel, and smooshed on two toasty pieces of bread. The salmon, red onion, avocado and goat cheese panini is a MUST try and seems to be quite popular. I have tried many of their paninis and can proudly say was never disappointed. This place is also BYOB, which I have yet to take advantage of. It is also kid friendly which I really appreciate (high chair, kid menu and all!) read more

Panino Rustico - For $11.99, meat/cheese/olive plate. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am Speechless with the horrible service that is provided by the girls that have been there for over a year. Nasty attitude- I'm not sure if I'm being envied, but it never fails. As i mentioned in the previous review that i really enjoy the food and the outside sitting and thats why i keep going back- not sure if i am the only one being so picky but today was one of my worst experience. As we walked in and requested a sit for 5 people outside - we were told that cant be arranged and a debate between the coworkers started happening like it was a court decision. I left them inside and our group helped ourselves. Our order was taken and food came out- tasted great but we had to ask for silverware, sAlt, pepper and ketchup (really! I thought this was a must). We decided we wanted coffee, the water took forever to come and take our order but we were enjoying the weather and didn't bother us. Once the coffee came out of course we had to go inside and get our sugar inside - where i ran into the owner by the door and he tried to help me. As we were having a coffee a friend joined us but she had to go inside order her coffee and desert because the outside is never attended by the waters and they dont care. She was welcomed with a horrible service by the waitress inside which she had to confront her and aSk her what the problem was! At the end i went inside to pay and i get a check without a total and the waitress tells me a total that wasn't matching to my total- i asked her did she include the tip? She got all pissed off and she said NO the tax is not on the bill.. (How m I suppose to know?) Her attitude got to me and I told her -i assumed that there isn't any tax since you guys take only cash and don't report all the money. I gave the blond nasty waitress money and she gave me money back but i needed change for the tip (maybe i shouldn't have left Anything bc they truly didn't deserve any) she walked away from the counter and i had to ask someone else for change.. Left them 15% tip but im upset at myself. I for sure next time wont tip or pay my bill if something like this happens.. The workers will definitely bring the place down if its not resolved by owner. read more

I was so excited to have this place open in my neighborhood. It's within walking distance so it's quite convenient. They are a small corner space with a few tables inside and a few tables outside for the warmer months. It's a neighborhood gem because I always see the place packed to capacity. People of all ages from the neighborhood eat here. This place makes the BEST paninis! I've tried P15 (fresh mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil), P18 (prosciutto with mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto), and P20 (grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula and basil pesto). All three were delicioius. Everything is made to order. All the ingredients tasted fresh. My boyfriend always orders the P20 and substitutes the arugula with baby spinach and they never give him a problem for it. The paninis range from $8 to $10, which is not bad considering how good they are. The panini comes with a small salad if you dine-in but not if you order to go. I've also tried the sweet banana and nutella crepe. Banana and nutella is a great combination. The crepe was delicious as well. Their smoothies are yummm too but a little on the sweet side. This place is a must try! read more

Great spot. Very family ambiance and great food. I always go for P19, which is the chicken sandwich with extra creamy basil sauce. Service is great as well. very on top of the things. Great job! read more

The presentation of all their foods and drinks are amazing the flavor it's really they're really recommend this place to anyone it's a Home set comfortable indoor outdoor surroundings price is fair clean and safe atmosphere parking sucks but but other than that top-notch place 10 stars I'll give it hands down read more

Home town look, sound ( soft Italian background music) feel & smell ( not quite sure what a hometown smell smells like, but I think it smells like this place). $6 for a bowl of homemade soup is a bit steep for a small local cafe, but the cream of broccoli was nicely medium body creamy ( no cheese) not too watery or thick with the perfect amount of fresh broccoli to satisfy the taste buds and tum tum. $10 for fresh prosciutto, roasted red peppers basil leaves, fresh mozzarella, balsamic glaze on a very unique "everything" ciabbatta panini. Quite unique although I do wish there was more meat, in fact it was rather on the slim side and my review does take this into consideration. Tasty though. Now the lunch I had was good yet as I've already explained there was some things lacking ( meat). For carnivore's like me that's a big thing missing. When viewing the menu I saw multiple deviations of the same item over again. In fact I don't believe I saw anything out of the ordinary or any type of a signature sandwich that would make you scratch your head and say " now that's interesting, gotta have it". Attentive service and friendly. Very small on the inside maybe 7 tables, but there is also outside seating weather permitting. Cash only is a big downer in this day & age. So for the higher than average price, slim samich, lack of variety and cash only for what it is, I can't in good conscious give this place more than a strong 3, although I wanted to. read more

My favorite go to place for lunch. Super fast delivery and service. Tastes great! Prices are reasonable especially for the fresh Ingredients they use. You can actually taste it read more

Omg if u ever want Italian delicious food this is the place to go! Paninis, Gelato soups and salad! Pick and choose! I love it! The best customer services all the girls are awesome! And the owner is the coolest person u can meet! I'm definitely coming back read more

Panino Rustico - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went here once with my friends and will definitely come again. The waiter that served us was so nice and came back to check on us every few minutes. The food is SO GOOD for the price. I love their crepes! The place looks nice and clean too. Definitely recommend if you love Italian food! read more

I wish the best for this place because I hope it stays around for a long time! I don't live too far so when my gf suggested we get together for a cup of coffee, I instantly thought of this spot I drove pass a few times. I was excited to check it out. I especially love that they have outdoor seating. It was a beautiful afternoon. We grabbed a table outside, I had my baby with me. The staff quickly came and combined two tables for us to accomodate her stroller. So sweet. There's a great range of items on the menu. From the sweet to the savory. I ordered the banana, nutella crepes. My friend had the strawberry, nutella crepe. My sister got the mozz, pesto, prosciutto panini. They were soo delcious. Better than I expected. I ordered a smoothie, pineapple, banana, coconut made from fresh fruit. I heard their coffee was awesome too. I'll have to try that next time. Anyhow, this place has the making of a great neighborhood haunt. I can't wait to come around more often, I wish I found it earlier in the summer so I could have taken advantage of the outdoor seating. It's on a beautiful and mostly quite corner, so you can really enjoy your surrounding without being hassled by noise, crowds, filth. read more

Stumbled upon this place looking for something that both myself and my son could enjoy. The salad I had was incredibly fresh and delicious and little man enjoyed his personal pizza. The wait staff was very very warm and accommodating and we loved the atmosphere. What a cute little place! We will definitely be back! read more

Panino not only has a wonferful and welcoming staff, they have the best crepes and the best coffee, brewed to perfection. I had their Turkey Crepe, it was savory with just the right amount of creamy basil dressing, arugula and fontina cheese. Warm and deliciously cheesey. Yum! read more

I am very disappointed with the smoked salmon panini. I ordered it to work which is a few blocks away from this place. They delivered it to me quickly but when I opened it it was warm and gross. I expected this to be a cold panini. They should definitely specify that on the online menu. Smoked salmon is not supposed to be warm with warm avocado. I was really expecting a nice smoked salmon sand which and because the bread was warm it cooked the salmon and made the whole sand which taste really awful. I will definitely not be buying this sad which again. I do like their other options but this is 100% not one of them. Should have stuck to the classic chicken pesto moz and pepper that I always get. Love that one! Just eating this to feel full. Very disappointed :( read more

Panino Rustico - As you can see it looks like cooked salmon with a light pink color not smoked salmon with the nice red orange color. Ew! Yuck. :( - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food here is to die for! Extremely fresh and tasty. I ordered delivery and it came by really quick and the food was still hot. I ordered the chicken caesar wrap, nutella and strawberry crepes, and the mozzerella and tomato bruschetta (Which totalled 20$ with tip). All of which were delightful! I highly reccomend either ordering or eating in this place! read more

Great spot, they have a few outdoor tables for the warmer times of year. If the hipsters ever find out about this place we'll have to put a wall around the neighborhood. Closed on Sundays, FYI. read more

This was the first time I ate at Panino Rostico, and I can tell you right now, this is not the last time. But before that, I am a sucker for simple food cooked properly, so you probably understand why I was so excited to find a place that make simple food, and at the same time no less than amazing. My point is that: it doesn't have to fancy restaurant, that you need to wait a week for a seat, or to charge so much money that you will make 1000% profit. Just offer good food, people will appreciate it. Ok, enough, now to the food: Panini!! Not too dry, not too liquid, little crispy (I asked to give it extra 2 minutes). Sometime I am writing reviews, and hope they won't make the place so famous, that next time I will not find a seat. Just improve the coffee, and they will have me forever! read more

5 stars hands down for finally finding a place that serves the perfect panini, and does not serve sandwiches like other "panini" imposters I have tried. The Mortadella, Goat Cheese, and Arugula panini would awaken a dead libido i'm sure. The iced frappe is phenomenal! Just. Go. read more

Ordered take out here because I wanted to eat something quick and easy. I have tried the one by Avenue N and I have never had a problem and I had no idea there was one by Dyker Heights. I ordered the same panini that I have previously ordered, probably one of my favorites. I had the P20 panini which is pretty much chicken, roasted red peppers, pesto sauce, fresh mozarella cheese, and spinach. It was so cooked to perfection, the panini, the chicken, the everything. Definitely love having such a simple quick lunch so satisfying to my hungry tummy. My boyfriend usually gets the italian tuna panini which I have no interest in but he absolutely loves it and that's his go to. We love coming here and have been here multiple times at the other location but definitely will be back here when we're in the neighborhood. The price is worth what you get. I would highly recommend trying a panini at Panino Rustico because you will not be disappointed at either restaurant. read more

One of the few sandwich shops that actually make true paninis. Quality ingredients, great sandwich options and the soups are good. A great neighborhood gem. read more

Such a cute little place to drink coffee, eat, and study! Their food is very good and hearty - I tried their minestrone, and if they know you are sharing, they split if for you! At first when they brought out the 2 bowls of soup, we were like, "oh we just ordered one soup" because each one of them is a normal size soup! Man, if I ordered the soup and ate it by myself.. I would probably have leftovers (damn it, i shouldn't have shared so I can have some at home!). Anyway, the soup is hot, flavorful, filled with fresh ingredients, and comes with amazing toast. Then we got 2 plates of bruchetta - asparagus with parmigiano reggiano and truffle oil (which is my favorite!) and mozzarella with tomato and fresh basil. Everything is just so fresh and tasty! The bread might be a little TOO crispy, but it's still good. Then I got the cappuccino, which is very good, but just kind of small and not hot :( I was slightly disappointed in the temperature. But I have had their iced coffee before and it's also very good. (That one definitely doesn't have any temperature or size problems haha) There is also free wi-fi there! That's why I say it's good to study at. Staff is soo friendly. The owner is always helpful and makes amazing food :) Everyone always has a smile on their faces. Good, cozy, family-owned business. read more

Our office just recently started ordering from here and we can't get enough! They make the best panini's and have very fast delivery. So far everything we have ordered has been delicious and always delivered hot. When calling the store you are always get a friendly and pleasant worker on the phone. Some of our favorites in the office are: P33, P35 and the Italian tuna! Given them a try - you won't regret it! P.S this is a review for the one on Staten Island read more

Found this place a month ago and it has has never disappointed me, I've ordered at least 10 times over the last month and finally remember to write them a review. Their food comes in big portion and tastes really good. I've tried their panini, the bread is crispy on the outside, soft on inside, and the ingredients are fresh, really the best I've tried in New York. The bread is not too thick so the female friends I brought here didn't have to worry about too much carb xD The crepes are not too sweet, goes really well with the Americano, should definitely try it. Staffs are super friendly and helpful. This is now my favorite spot :) read more

They have really good panini's here. I love to get the Panini with fresh mozzarella , prosciutto, lettuce , tomato and pesto sauce. That's my favorite one. They also have good crepes here as well. When I used to work by there we would order and I would get strawberry and Nutella creep with there iced latte and it was so good. read more

Came here for a brunch date and was lucky to get a table for six right away cuz it started to get packed (Saturday at 1130). The paninis were delicious and the toddlers enjoyed the pizza! I ordered the P35 and had to take the rest home since it was so filling. Would def come back again! read more

The food taste deliciously great! I've ordered Roast Beef w/ Fresh Mozzarella Wrap (W4) and Fresh Strawberry & Strawberry Preserve Sweet Crepe (S12) total amount to $14.70. The workers and the cashier are both pretty friendly and positive. Nice place to visit. Good food as well, and I will come back here next time. read more

Great coffee, I really enjoy their paninis too. It's a Bring Your Own Boose place, so I sometimes spend my sumer evenings sitting on the outside table with a glass of wine in my hand. read more

When this tiny shop opened up in my neighborhood a few years ago, I knew this was going to be a success straight from the beginning. Though the restaurant is a bit on the tiny side, the taste and quality of the panini's more than made up for it. My usual order - the P18, a prosciutto with fresh mozzarella - never disappointing as the savory flavors of the prosciutto work lovely with the mozzarella, all on a delicious toasted panini. read more

Panino Rustico - A P18 - prosciutto with tomato, delicious - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So. Amazing. Ordering was its own challenge. So many options, and they all sounded incredible. I ordered the Atlantic smoked salmon w/ goat cheese, red onion and black truffle oil panini. So. Amazing. I am drooling just thinking about it. The truffle oil gave the panini a rich flavor and the smoked salmon was very fresh. My friend and I also ordered smoothies. I got the acai berry smoothie. It was refreshing and exactly what I was craving (...after a night out). I would highly recommend Panini Rustico to anyone. I am excited to come back and try their other menu options (especially the crepes). read more

Amazing paninis! Make sure you bring cash although there's an ATM inside, it charges you a dollar to take out the cash so bring cash with you. Although the place is small the taste is amazing and the service is pretty good too. read more

Panino Rustico you are really incredible, I had a spectacular experience here today. I have zero complaints fair prices, absolutely worth for what you get. It was my very first time trying W10 Flank Steak Strips, Pepper-jack Cheese, Red Onion & Chipotle Mayo here, and I must admit it was far better that I ever could expect it to be. Crew is very friendly and will certainly help you with everything. Will definitely be back really soon. read more

We got the mozzarella and tomato appetizer and three different paninis, a cafe mocha, latte, and cappuccino. Several cannoli and seven layer cake/ cookie. All of the above was the bomb dot com. Ten out ten would most definitely recommend. Parking wasn't an issue and was free on the side street. Service was friendly. We'll be back! read more

Delicious! I had the salad with the strawberries and goat cheese, which was delicious!! Definitely recommend this place and looking forward to going back!! read more

My absolute favorite is the panini with cacciatorini goat cheese and black olive tapenade! The flavors are amazing and the olive ties everything together nicely. Give the caprese appetizer or the bruschetta platter a try if you are feeling extra hungry! I come here because its BYOB, and its always nice to feast on amazing paninis while just a liitttle tipsy! The waitresses are super nice, and always offer us glasses for our bottle right away! I just love the cozy atmosphere, especially in the summertime when there is outdoor seating. read more

The service here was great! Me and my friends were in a group of 5 so we had to wait about 5-10 minutes. But when we got our seats, they were so nice! Even when we didnt get our food yet they would check on us to see if we were okay. It's a small place so if you need something the waiters would be notified immediately. At first I was hesitant on what to order, but in the end i got a small iced latte and the chicken bacon panini. When our food came, it looked reallyyyy good so we ate immediately. By the time we were finished, we were pretty full. This was my first time here and it won't be my last! DEFINITELY coming back! Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! read more

I'm a big foodie and this panini are some of the best I have tasted every neighborhood should be so lucky to have a small place like this just to walk in for a quick panini or a great espresso with a quick crepe or a smoothie.... service is very attentive and the owner is always working and making sure everyone is happy... the panino numbered P18 is the best my favorite for sure.... prosciutto, mozzarella and basil... YES I don't get some of the reviewers saying that this place got NYC prices and it's dry and Japonese crepes are better????LOL clueless.... apparently she been eating at subway because I work in the rest business and this days they charge you $7 for a lousy fake bread fake pre cut cold cuts at subways and most of the rest of the sandwich places have their sandwiches pre-cut god knows when with some translucent I wanna be turkey. Awesome panini and great high octane espresso gotta go try it and don't lessen to the " I got no clue haters" go order a P18 with an espresso and share a Nutella crepe all MADE FRESH at the moment . read more

Such a great place in a very casual environment. Always busy. Paninis are large enough to share (and if you tell them that you are sharing, they will gladly put them on separate plates for you). The same goes for the soups. I love the meat and cheese dishes that are served with brilliantly toasted slices of bread ends drizzled in olive oil. Who knew that bread ends would be my new favorite things? The crepes are very good, but if you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, they have a frozen hot chocolate that they put an entire Hershey's milk chocolate bar into. read more

Sorry I don't have pics of my food cause it was too good to stop and snap one but WOW. AMAZING. just great quality overall. I ordered on seamless and it came faster than promised, still hot, and just amazingly delicious. I ordered two egg and cheese bagels one with bacon and then a Nutella crepe with fresh strawberries on top to split with my friend. They followed every single special request to the T. Thank you I will absolutely order from here a million more times !!!! read more

This spot is amazing!!! What a great neighborhood find. I have told all my coworkers about it, and I even told my big to join me for a lunch date. It is so cute and quaint inside. All of the food is super fresh, and I have never ordered something bad from here. Love this place!! Happy I found you!!! read more
