    bacon egg cheese sandwich
    Dionna A.

    One phrase, yummy in thy tummy. That's exactly what it WAS. Fresh, fluffy eggs with crispy bacon & that cheese!? Ugh. Thank you guys so much for fast service & a cute environment.

    Pantano's is my go to restaurant for delicious, fresh, homemade sandwiches and salads. Their food tastes just as good as it looks and their homemade Caesar salad dressing is my all time favorite! (They should bottle and sell it!!!) Their staff are professional and kind. 5 stars across the board!

    Sesame bagel with vegetable cream cheese
    Iris W.

    Walked in to pick up bagels for breakfast and they were perfect. Service was quick and kind. There is counter space as well as a few tables to eat in. The bagel dough was well risen and had an excellent chew and flavor. A great NY bagel!

    Chicken cutlet roasted peppers on a roll
    S J.

    Still the best lunch and breakfast spot in Plainview / Hicksville. Their chicken cutlets are my favorite. Love this place! Love the staff. Keep going guys

    Chocolate chip pancakes are great!
    Max V.

    They have amazing breakfast and lunch. everything on the menu is very good always a great stop to get any food your looking to get from a great deli. Also have a great beverage selection.

    the nonna rosa panini
    Gary R.

    Wow what a great sandwich! It was love at first bite. Quality ingredients cooked perfectly. We ordered 2 paninis both came with layers of balsamic chicken with fresh mozzarella with peppers. Each panini came with chips or side salad

    A must-stop whenever you're on Long Island! Fantastic menu but The Big John is the can't miss option. 10/10 recommend!

    The Mezz Wrap
    Annie Y.

    Pantano's has limited indoor seating and operates more like a deli where you can grab and go. It takes 10-15 minutes for them to take and to make your order. They have breakfast items, wraps, heroes, salads, etc. and offer a discount if you pay cash. I ordered the Mezz and was glad I took it home because it was a bit messy to eat with the Italian dressing. They are a little bit on the pricier side so expect to spend $13-$15 for a meal here.

    FRANCISCO WRAP MOZZZ OOOZE FIRE GRAVY

    BEST SPOT IN LONG ISLAND. if you're looking for authentic taste, reasonable prices, and an unreal experience stop by this spot. I ordered the Francisco but everything looked good. and i mean EVERYTHING. It was tough to decide. They have so many different antipastos, salads, sandwiches, desserts...something for everyone. Staff is top notch and the owner even prepared my wrap for me! So much TLC. I'll most definitely be back because my wrap made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. the best of the best!

    Egg whites with turkey as you can see from this photo it looks like literally one slice of turkey
    Mauricio B.

    It kills me to write this ... I've been coming to Pantano's for years, and for a while it was my main spot for food. However, the quality of this place has really taken a dive. The price was always pricey but I continued to come here because I loved the sandwiches and the portions . Today was my very last straw as I ordered 4 sandwiches ( 1 egg and cheese, 1 egg white wrap with turkey and cheese , one turkey ( maple honey turkey ) and one Turkey sandwich with bacon and egg,) my total was $50 . A bit expensive but like I mentioned as long as it's a good portion I didn't mind. When I got home I was so disappointed, my wife's egg sandwich had one slice of turkey , and my son's Turkey sandwich and mine had so little turkey and shredded into bits. when I called because I was curious on the portion size, I was told that they give 1/3 pound per turkey sandwich when I received was much less than that. 1/3 lbs should equal to roughly 5ounces , for reference, I received closer to 2 ounces on each sandwich. I was starving otherwise I would have brought this back, my wife was the only one who took a picture which I will share. It's sad because I understand times are rough but when I feel scammed or disappointed to the point I needed to share this. I simply won't be coming back here and I hope this helps the business more than shy others from here, because the responsibility to your guest and keeping them happy is why you cook food. Cooking for others is a privilege not a forced habit

When we walked in, it felt more like a busy pizzeria with a dining area than the trendy spot we were expecting. The place was packed, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. Once seated, we noticed right away that the menu didn't match what we had seen online. In the videos, every pasta dish came with burrata, but here it was an extra charge. The bread bowl itself was also a $7 add-on, which pushed the $25 pasta dishes to nearly $40 each -- a price that simply doesn't make sense for what you get. Staff was friendly, but the busboys seemed completely untrained, and service overall was slow. We did receive our minestrone soup quickly, but it was just okay. The soup's kidney beans and chickpeas were noticeably undercooked. When the pasta arrived, the disappointment continued. The burrata, which we paid extra for, was cold and hard rather than creamy. Even the waitress seemed surprised when we pointed it out. We also noticed that the regular pasta dishes (served in normal bowls) were much larger portions than the bread-bowl pastas -- despite the bread bowls costing more. At the end of the meal, the reality became clear: the bread-bowl trend is more gimmick than substance. With two pasta dishes and one soup totaling around $100, the value just isn't there. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. Don't be fooled by what you see on social media -- the experience simply doesn't live up to the hype.

On March 29th, we hosted my grandmother's 85th birthday here with about 30 people. This wasn't some last-minute reservation--we planned everything months in advance directly with Sal. From the very beginning, we made it clear that the entire reason we chose this restaurant was for their private room. My grandmother had attended another party there and loved that space--it's private, has its own bathroom, and was perfect since we had a lot of kids attending. Sal explicitly told us there was no minimum or maximum for the room and guaranteed it to us. Based on that promise, we booked the party. As the date got closer, we even upgraded the package--paying extra per person for an additional course. Only then did Sal casually slip in that we would NOT be getting the private room. So if we hadn't called to add that upgrade, we likely wouldn't have found out until the day of the event. When we questioned him, he suddenly claimed there was a "minimum" requirement of people to secure the room--something he NEVER mentioned before. Then he tried to say there was a contract stating we weren't guaranteed the room... except we were never given any contract. No paperwork. No receipt for our deposit. Nothing. Completely unprofessional and shady. A few days later, when my dad followed up, Sal finally admitted the truth: another, larger party booked the room. Fine--we understand businesses prioritize money. But don't LIE and promise something you can't deliver. Don't book us under false pretenses and then backtrack with excuses and made-up policies. We were then told we'd get the corner, semi-private part of the restaurant space with three tables. That didn't happen either. Instead, we were crammed into the front, basically in the middle of the restaurant. It was chaotic, loud, and completely inappropriate for a large family gathering--especially with young kids running around and my 85-year-old grandmother struggling just to get to the bathroom. To make matters worse, when we calmly expressed our disappointment afterward, Sal didn't even have the decency to have a conversation. He literally put his hand up and said, "I'm done with this conversation," and walked away, leaving his waiter to handle it--despite the fact that he was the one who mishandled everything. The lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic respect was unbelievable. We felt completely taken advantage of and misled from start to finish. This was supposed to be a special milestone celebration, and instead it turned into a stressful and upsetting experience for our entire family. We will absolutely NEVER be coming back, and I strongly advise anyone considering booking an event here to think twice. If they can do this to a party planned months in advance, they can do it to anyone.

The place has a good amount of seating area including high tops, low booths, bar table, and a private room. There is also two unisex restrooms. I came with my boyfriend before an event at Farmingdale State College and we were on a time crunch. I made a reservation on OpenTable but it was not busy at all. We got greeted and seated immediately upon walking in. Then, a server came with ice water for the both of us before our actual waiter came to introduce herself and ask if we were ready to order. Shortly after ordering, the waitress brought us a plate of complimentary bread that comes with garlic on top and olive oil dip on bottom. We got the fried calamari which was perfectly battered (not too little nor too thick) and fried perfectly (not too burnt nor too pale). The taste was great and went well with the marinara sauce. The Clams Oreganata were delicious too - very meaty and flavorful with a nice sauce and lemon to squeeze on top. The Clams Vespa is very unique and creamy. It reminds me of a white Alfredo sauce with baked clams. They had a huge variety of drinks and it was hard for me to choose, but the lady recommended me the Sicilian Kiss which is a strawberry flavored cocktail. It is supposed to be on the sweeter side but the alcohol was strong too. As for our main entree, we got the Papperdelle Bolognese which was a veal, pork, beef ragu on ribbon pasta. Very well cooked and the taste and texture went perfectly together. We were so full, but never skip on dessert! I'm personally not a fan of cheesecake, but they have creme brulee cheesecake and rainbow cookie cheesecake which I would have loved to try if it wasn't for the cheesecake. But I was happy to find out I could order the rainbow cookie gelato that usually comes with the cheesecake. That was yummy! The texture reminded me of the cake mix Ice-Cream from Carvel and the flavor is not too strong. Overall, great vibes and service. Will definitely be back to the the pizza and other pastas.

Food was delicious and the drinks were fabulous. Thanksgiving Eve met up with my date at Nunzi's It was giving "Hot Stuff" -- literally. I walk in with my date, and before my coat even unbuttons, Donna Summer herself is serenading me like I'm about to strut down a disco runway. Perfect timing. We were the first ones in the restaurant, which honestly made me feel like they opened the whole establishment just for my convenience. The host said, "Pick any table." Baby, don't threaten me with a good time. I saw that corner booth--cute, cozy, and prime real estate for flirting like I'm auditioning for a romantic comedy--and I claimed it like the last good parking spot at Target. The vibe? Oh, this restaurant is so my ministry. Trendy, modern, dimly lit like they're doing me a personal favor. If you're a social media fanatic like me. The entire décor is basically screaming, "Make a reel, post a story, take a selfie sis." The soundtrack? Disco, 70s and 80s R&B, a sprinkle of house. My favorite genres. The stuff that makes you want to shimmy your shoulders while pretending you're not checking out your date's jawline. The drinks? Oh honey... I ordered a blueberry lavender margarita because lavender is my personality at this point. My date got a banana Jameson old fashioned. I asked for a sip, took a sip, then instantly contemplated snatching his whole glass and telling him to order something else. It was that good. I asked the waiter about the pineapple infused vodka. "Can you taste the alcohol?" He said, "No, and that's the problem." I said, "Say less." Sold. LMAO. Had it in a martini fashion. Now for the food. We started with the Oh My Garlic Bread. Except... Oh My, what happened? The cheese was barely melted and the bread wasn't toasted enough. I wanted feral, unhinged, cheese-pull, toasted bread madness. I got "this could've been great but someone clocked out early." Sadness. It did come with a side of their delicious sauce and spicy vodka sauce. But THEN... that fried burrata came out like Beyoncé at the Superbowl. Melty, gooey, fried perfection. Cheese is my favorite food group and that burrata had me emotionally compromised. We also got Grandma's Meatballs. Delicious and they held their own and in chunky tomato sauce, with a dollop of ricotta? Mama mia, yes. For pasta, the server suggested the spicy rigatoni or the linguine bolognese. We went bolognese, and baby... that plate was giving comfort, warmth, cozy blanket energy. Delicious. Finished the night with the chocolate chip cookie sundae. Great ending, but listen--at an Italian restaurant, my middle-aged spirit WANTED tiramisu or a cannoli. I'm traditional like that. Overall? Five glittery stars. I will absolutely be back--probably dragging my work bestie for a happy hour where we judge men and eat fried cheese.
