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.

Prosciutto and fresh mozzarella

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!

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!!

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.

P33. Hot pastrami, swiss cheese (but I switched it out for pepper jack instead), mustard, and pickles (DELICIOUS)

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!

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.

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

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!

P34 - Roast Beef, Mozzarella, and Gravy (on the side)
Jonathan L.

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!

I used to be more then a regular; a booster (as in supporter, not petty thief) of not simply…read moreBrancaccio's... but of Joe himself. A truly genuine, authentic salt of the earth guy. And one of the greatest chefs I've ever had the pleasure to know. And I've known my share of cats who made their livings and their names in a kitchen. From the very first day I discovered Brancaccio's I felt a magic a connection that I knew would change my life, make my belly really f--kin' happy and set my soul a-dancin'. On that first day Joe and I talked about the great food of NY; most of it gone but not forgotten by those who were of the time. We both lamented the lose of the legendary Zito's bakery on Bleecker. I can't tell you how long it had been since I'd ran into someone who even remembered Zito's much less was intimate with the place. I knew I was home. This was well over a decade ago. I won't go into specific things on Joe's menu that are worth trying because quite literally... everything is amazing. It just is! Soul satisfying beyond my ability to do justice to. I'd also like to throw out as an example of the humanity of the joint and it's capt. Joe... Joe treats his employees with respect, R E S P E C T as Aretha belted, dignity and the aforementioned humanity which is beautiful and virtually non-existent these days as far as I can see... and you can taste it in his food. That's just a big-ass Right On! Finally I like to say two or three things: First that as I initially identified myself as "used to being a regular" as and this is by no means a boo-hoo thing simply a fact... I fell pretty ill for a while and am just now beginning my reentry into the world. And as a matter of fact during the recent drag of days for me a thought kept slamming into the walls of my head and that was that I couldn't wait to once again sink my teeth into Joe's food. Well that day is here and I'm salivating at the thought. "I'll take one of everything my man!" Secondly, understand I've never written anything like this... I'm actually down on the whole review culture. So if this sounds at all "over the top"... or written by a cousin who Joe owes money to, get that thought right out of your head. All of I said is sincere and one from the heart. And lastly an additional "oh yea baby" to Joe's taste in music.

I had been waiting a year to come here after missing out on trying it while on a trip last year and…read moreI was so excited, I could barely decide which sandwiches to try. The owner has the typical New Yorker vibe--blunt and a fun character overall. We went with the chicken cutlet with prosciutto, artichoke, fontina, and herb sauce, along with the sausage with cheese and added broccoli rabe. Between the two, I'd get the chicken for sure. It was pretty tasty, but I must say I wasn't as blown away as I'd expected. The sausage sandwich got a bit soggy from all of the marinara (which I wasn't expecting based on the description), so I was less excited about it. It was way too much food for two people. Like one sandwich is plenty for two, but I got greedy with wanting to try too much. We had a ton leftover! I would have probably rated it 3.5 stars, but the German roach running around pained me to see and stole my appetite. I'd want to say I'd come back and try one of those delicious sounding breakfast sandwiches, but roaches are a hard sell for me.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin.

I chose to go with the JJ Sandwich (breaded chicken, mozzarella, jalapeños etc). I get to the cash register and a woman rings me up and mumbles something in another language to the man who's preparing the food she then proceeds to add a dollar onto my order and doesn't tell me why. Upon opening the sandwich, the chicken cutlet is soggy and seems like it was made days ago. Not sure if there other sandwiches are better but this sandwich for $13.50 was extremely underwhelming.

I will get the occasional breakfast sandwich (like an egg and cheese or bec), or a turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, they have a pretty good menu of other types of sandwiches. Depending on who is making the sandwich, it will vary. Definitely a safe bet either way. They also have your usual snacks like potato chips, sodas, beers, and what not. I've been here a number of times because I'll be in the neighborhood. This is definitely one of my favorite bodegas around. My favorite part being how personable and friendly the family who runs it. They've now become a familiar face. Overall, a recommend for if you happen to be passing by. It's conveniently located by the F/G subway stop, so it's hard to miss.

Israeli style with pickles, which I love. The chickpea soup was a standout. So flavorful and nourishing; definitely a nod to the sopa de garbanzos that I grew up with. The generous portion of labane is rich and complimented by herbs and an excellent olive oil. But it only comes with one pita! Personally, I'd prefer a smaller portion with more bread. Ok, first, let's be accurate about a few things. Etymologically, "batata" comes from the Spanish for "potato." This is a nod to "Sephardic" Jews, from the Hebrew word for the Iberian Peninsula (by definition, Spain and Portugal; after "expulsion," this came to include a diaspora more broadly northern African. In order words, western and southern European, not Eastern like Ashkenazi Jews.)
