    1/2 - Italian Combo & Panino Caprese
    Ran C.

    In Solvang this past weekend for the Danish Days Festival. At one point, needed food. Needed lunch. And my friend and I ended up at Panino. We wanted something fast and light. For the festival, streets were shut down but you'll typically find parking on the street, or in the nearby lots. Nice thing is that they're free too. At least the ones I've parked at. Panino isn't a full service restaurant. Order at the counter and wait for your order to be brought to your table, or for your name to be called if it's to go. Your order includes your drinks up front so if you want something else, get back in line and order again. Inside the shop, there's seating for about five/six people. Most were sitting outside. Your order is brought to you outside too if you're wondering. I ordered me a Half/Half. Half sandwich (Italian) and a half salad (Caprese) See pics. I enjoyed the salad. I was craving it so it hit the spot. The mozzarella cheese and fresh greens. The sandwich, I liked, but didn't love. It wasn't about the ingredients (even the green peppers which I've never seen on an Italian nor leaves of lettuce as opposed to them being shredded). If the dressing were more tangy, I wouldn't say I'd love it but at least crush on it a little so for me, Panino's version was ok. I wouldn't order it again knowing what I know but if someone shared a half with me, I wouldn't turn it down. Anyway, there's a long list of sandwiches on the menu. I'd definitely try other items on the list as well as checking out their other locations.

    Since we had 3 small kids with us with picky taste, we wanted to find a sandwich shop where we knew we could find a simple sandwich for them to enjoy and they something else for my wife and myself. Panino came in clutch. They had a great kids menu where all our kids could get a small sandwich for them to enjoy and then a large selection of hot and cold sandwiches for us parents. Despite it being busy, our order came out within 5ish minutes. Though I will say they almost gave us someone else's order as well so maybe just double check before you head out that you have your order (& only yours). The eating area is next to nothing but we got lucky enough to find a bench along the sidewalk just outside for the kids to sit down and enjoy some shade from the tree overhead. My wife enjoyed her pesto sandwich and I enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich. I will say mine was messy & not really built for eating on the go or even standing up, but that's the nature of the sandwich, not how it was made. The flavors were perfect, the portions were very generous, and just overall it was a great lunch experience. We even had many people walk by us, stop, and ask where we got our meals saying it looked delicious. We were more than happy to just point and say right behind them. We were like free advertisement for the restaurant and brought them in at least 3 groups of people. With how great everything tasted, we were happy do to do. My only complaints really are that I wish there was more eating area. I would've preferred to have an actual table for us to sit and relax while eating our lunch. Maybe next time we'll get our order to go and then bring it somewhere else in town that has more public tables to enjoy the meal more comfortably.

    Good sandwich shop. Fresh ingredients. Quick service. Seating is mainly outdoors with a couple of indoor seats. We ordered the Black Forest ham sandwich, chickens and red pepper sandwich, the chicken and prosciutto, and the panino club. They all tasted good except the panino club... The Stilton cheese was overpowering the sandwich. Stilton cheese is an English blue cheese which can be an acquired taste.

    Hubby & I wanted a light lunch & found this place on Yelp. Ambiance is tiny with only couple of tables inside but the outdoor patio had plenty of seats. We came here on a Monday afternoon & business was slow so we got to order right away. Waited about 20 min until our server brought our order to the table. Hubby had the Italian combo with a side of harvest salad & I had the roasted chicken pesto w/a garden salad. Both of us agreed the sandwich & salad were legit. The ingredients inside the sandwich blended well together & salad was light & refreshing. We shared a bottle of red lager which went well with the sandwich. I will definitely swing by whenever I'm in the area & craving a good sandwich.

    We ordered couple of sandwiches to go and had picnic on a beach. We all love our sandwiches, highly highly recommend!

    Turkey pesto
    Monica R.

    Stopped by on a sunday afternoon for a quick bite. The sandwich options were endless and all sounded really good. I got the turkey pesto and it was perfect. Lots od turkey and the bread was fresh and soft. The employees are all very welcoming and the place has plenty of shaded seating outside.

    I had a brain fart while getting food here. The menu outside of the restaurant actually belonged to the restaurant next door so when I ordered a panini I didn't receive the response that I expected. Now at the front of the long line I had to pivot quickly. The gal at the register was able to create a custom sandwich for me that wasn't a panini but tasted very good. I ended up getting a turkey with avocado, cheese and lettuce (nice lettuce!) with honey mustard dressing with real honey. 3.5 stars!

    Chicken Pesto
    Angela D.

    Came in to grab a chicken pesto sandwich to go and it was flavorful, fresh, and filling for $15. I love this place for sandwiches.

    Must Know: Italian Combo was delicious; free parking all around Solvang; not a lot of places were opened for lunch service on Tuesday so great spot to check out for a quick bite. Here are our 5 Star FAPS: Food (F): We ordered one Italian Combo sandwich on focaccia bread to share. It was a great portion size. We added on kettle chips. They have a great selection of them. It was nicely presented and halved for us on these plates. Ambiance (A): Nice outdoor seating. We preferred the outside seating option with the fresh air and beautiful architecture of Solvang. Quiet and calm on a Tuesday afternoon. Parking: FREE! Lots of lots and street parking. It was relatively empty on a Tuesday. Unsure what the weekend parking situation is like in terms of crowdedness. Service (S): Such kind of friendly staff. Fast service and no wait. It was a great bite before grabbing a sweet treat at one of the bakeries nearby!

    Located in the heart of Solvang, this is a solid spot for an easy lunch. You order at the counter, get a number, and then sit outside in the shared courtyard, where they bring the food to you. There's a dedicated section of tables just for Panino. We visited during a busy holiday weekend, so the wait was about 30 minutes for two sandwiches. The sandwiches were solid--delicious and satisfying--but a bit on the pricey side at around $15 each. Still, it's a good option if you're looking for a quick, tasty meal in a charming location. Would definitely come back to try more!

    Amazing taste and service. We have used this spot many times to bring a picnic to Demetria Vineyards and have never been disappointed

    Panino is a cute little spot in solvang, super close to the square. The food was fresh and had large servings, with just the right amount of toppings. The number 10 was my favorite. Though there is outdoor seating, I highly recommend taking your food to go for a picnic on the square!
