Love the service love the food Lou and the staff are amazing very attentive ave great customer service.

Terrible attitude ! I'm a regular customer of a panino Rustico. Very close to my house, today again i went there to have my dinner around half an hour ago about 9:30. And the stuff told me that they are closed. Every restaurant has business hours if they don't obey that, they should change that. As a person who is also in restaurant business i can easily say that they don't have any management. I wonder who is in charge of this place? read more

I ordered delivery for one panini and a drink after waiting an hour for my food. I called after numerous calls no one answered. Than when someone answered I was told the deliver driver made contact with me and delivered the food, and then after I said I never spoke to anyone he said the deliver drive left it in the hallway. So my food was sitting in my cold hallway on the floor. When I brought up the fact that my food was cold. I was told it was left they're 5 mins ago. Just know if you go here and anything is wrong you'll be given an excuse to why and it won't be dealt with accordingly. read more

Came for lunch with my Hubbs and 3yr old diva - sat outside so she can run around without getting in anyones way. She loved it! I had the smoked salmon panini and my husband the prociutto pesto - AMAZING! Fresh, hearty, and oh so delicious. The waiter was so friendly and catered to our little girl - danced with her, talked to her, and brought her a perfectly made grilled cheese sandwich. We spent almost 2 hours there without being rushed with a bill or harassed to order more food. It was great! Will be back this weekend - and the next - and the next... read more

Read the reviews so I said I had to try and it lived up to its billing. Ordered the #18 (proscuitto, basil pesto, cheese) and everything was delicious. I almost ordered another one to go. The only gripe if i had one was the portions were small but maybe i just need to start eating less. Will definitely be back this place blows some of the other sandwich shops in bk out of the water. read more

My friends introduced me to this place. Love it ever since. Took my boyfriend there too and he love it too. I like all of their panini my favorite is P35 so good. The portion is big too. If my boyfriend is there we usually split one together and it will be just right. My friends like their soup and wraps. read more

Love going to Panini Rusticò. They have The best panini and great desserts. Nice staff very friendly and always smiling.

This is by far the best Panini place I have ever been to! Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the staff is so friendly. Their balsamic glaze is so good, and their house pesto salad dressing is to die for. Everything is just delicious, I can go on and on! Definitely a must try. read more

Delicious sandwiches, Great flavor. Family friendly. Very good service. Ambiance is conductive for eating and conversation read more

Up the review to 6 stars ! Louie , the owner, is an exceptional chef and personally comes out to check if everything is ok. The salads are big, fresh and amazing. The salmon sandwich is out of this world . The best gelato in Bklyn. Period ! A must try ! read more

Been visiting this location and another one in Mill Basin for a year. Food is great but their panini bread has changed recently, which is harder to chew. Also, the person who picks up phone calls for takeout orders are almost always rude. Had few times while I was hung up while waiting or cut off while ordering. I would recommend Mill Basin location over this one read more

Food gets 5 stars. Customer service 4. NO ALCOHOL :/ otherwise I could forgive a little "priceyness" and sometimes long waits. But I am addicted to this place. They will make you whatever you want. And I haven't had a bad meal yet. And I go there 5 times a week. 1/12/2014 UPDATING...There is one girl there who is amazing. Had to up my stars. She draws little pictures on my take out bag...always puts a smile on my face. It's the little things people. read more

The place is small in size, but not small in taste! They have a nice variety of wraps and fresh and delicious. For lunch, many people are willing to wait 30 mins just for a pain or wraos. They also make smoothies, also quite good. Had a blueberry banana smoothie. They also have an espresso machine, hot and strong! The waitresses are young, cute and very customer centric. This is a nice place to go for a quick bite with fresh delicious food. They only take cash, and they have an ATM on site. read more

Panino is always great, and the waitresses are always so nice. I love the P15 with grilled chicken with a side of green basil sauce. My panini always comes better than the last. Great place to go for lunch. read more

Oh boy.... The food was delicious, but my boyfriend ended up in the hospital with food poisoning after eating here =/ (he had the panini, I had the wrap) This was the only place we ate at all day :( read more

Food- ordered the breakfast panini ( two eggs with cheese and ham. Two egga with cheese and bacon) very good. The panini was crisp. I forgot to take a picture since I was too eager to eat it. Don't be an idiot like my fiance and order a bagel in a panini place. ServIce: deserves five plus stars. We also ordered a sweet crepe to share between the ppl and the waitress asked us if we wanted them to split it the way for us! How nice. It was served as if we each had our own full crepe. This review is base on one visit. We'll try other paninis next time. Hope I can still say it's five star for me. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Not only are their paninis incredible (the smoked salmon panini... o m g) but the staff are so incredibly friendly. And they deliver, too! read more

Panino Rustico - smoked salmon panini - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Anyone in this area of Brooklyn should hopefully know Panino rusticò and if they don't, it's a shame. Great food and great service. It's one of my family's favorites for a quick bite that you know everyone will enjoy. read more

Another great meal...smoked salmon panino with goat cheese, avocado and red onions. Great beef barley soup also!

My husband and I were in Brooklyn yesterday for business and we were hungry. After spending several minutes researching restaurants in the area we came across this little gem. The interior was very inviting and the workers were pleasant. Which was already a plus in my book. We ordered the P20 (grilled chicken, mozzarella, roasted red pepper, arugula & basil pesto) and the P37 (grilled chicken, bacon, pepper jack cheese & ranch dressing). Both sandwiches were very good. The chicken was moist, the bread was crisp everything was fresh. Traveling from Long Island might be a bit of a journey but I can't wait to try more items from their menu. Thanks for a delightful afternoon!! read more

The best !!! We love coming here for brunch Their iced cappuccino is the best you'll ever find And if you like smoked salmon you must try the panini with the smoked salmon red onion avocado ... so good read more

A cute neighborhood place. The porchetta was a bit dry and would definitely have been helped my some more olive oil or pesto. The imported prosciutto with mozzarella, tomato, and pesto was much better. But overall, it was a pretty average sandwich. The bread is very toasty, maybe a bit too much since it doesn't have a good chew to it. Not a bad place to stop by for a sandwich for lunch. read more

Small little cafe located on 17th ave. Great place for breakfast, lunch, brunch, desserts, or just plain oh coffee. I've been to Panino Rustico twice so far I've enjoyed both visits. Everything is extremely affordable and service is great. Everyone is just so friendly there! It's CASH ONLY but they have an ATM available. Although it's a small cafe they also offer outdoor seating. Another plus is BYOB! Would I go back? Most definitely! read more

Panino Rustico - P20 Tastes great. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The first thing that caught my eyes were the photos, they looked so yummy. Then I read the reviews, and could not believe a sandwich shop had so many great reviews. I figured I had to try this out as I love crepes and panini. Well, this places earned the reviews, it's not hype, this is the real deal. We ordered the panini with brocolirabe. I had the grilled chicken with mozzarella , and roasted red pepper. The panini is crispy and has a nice taste of olive oil. It also came with some salad on the side with a pesto sauce, which was nice. I was stuffed but did not stop me from getting the crepes as they looked so good. We split the apple cinnamon crepe. There was no way I could finish entire one on my own. It came out warm. The apples with a hint of tart and some confectionary sugar and cinnamon. Along with that we had the cappuccinos. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, they had sports and food network playing. It was a nice lighting for the evening. They have clean restoom. I certainly would come back, maybe for breakfast to have a crepe. read more

Alas, another neighborhood gem! I came here today with my friend before the blizzard was supposed to hit. We enjoyed our hot chocolates with a mountain of whipped cream, and our generously sized crepe and panini. I will most definitely come back again, and looking forward to sitting outside during warmer weather..in 5 months. Til then, I'll enjoy sitting indoors, cozy, warm, and greeted with Bensonhurst hospitality. read more

P20 = absolute heaven. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and the pesto was perfection. The restaurant is adorable and pristine. Totally worth the trip from Manhattan. I will definitely be back! read more

Panino Rustico - Salmon - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a really nice place. My wife and I always go there to get their red peppers and mixed meat platter. Super delicious. The place is busy with regulars, the service is attentive and timely. Highly recommended. read more

New favorite neighborhood spot! I've been meaning to come here for the longest time because it's about the only cute place you can casually sit and eat outside within the neighborhood- the next option being mona lisa which is kind of meh to me. I got the chicken with pesto panini and cream of tomato soup which were both great and the service there is quick and fast. The servers are very good as well. If you are wondering what happened to all the Italians in Bensonhurst, they are all here at Panino Rustico! Can't wait to go back to try the crepes! read more

Excellent paninis! Delivery service is also excellent. They arrive very quickly and are very courteous. Salads could use some work. I ordered a standard chicken salad with dressing on the side. There were only little skimpy pieces of chicken breast within the salad. The croutons also didn't taste fresh. I will stick with the paninis going forward as they are the main highlight here. read more

Really cute little corner cafe with delicious paninis. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and so glad I did. I do wish there was a panini option with roasted/grilled veggies with olive tapenade or anything that wasn't fish with olive tapenade but no biggie. I ordered the Hot Soppresata, Smoked Mozzarella & Roasted Peppers Panini instead and that was so good. I'm no good with Italian (the language) so I had no idea what soppresata was when I ordered it but was crossing fingers it was a type of meat, which thankfully it was! It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be but it had a bit of heat. Overall a tasty and flavorful sandwich, which came with a small side salad on the plate. Their frozen hot chocolate was also pretty good on a hot day. Would love to come back and try their other menu items! read more

Panino Rustico - Got a frozen hot chocolate and p29. Smells good and so yummmmmy! - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love their paninis but my favorite is the smoked salmon one while my sister has her own loyalty to #P35 on the menu. Price is decent for such a large panini, most times I have to share it unless I'm really hungry. This place is cozy and the service is great. Wish they can improve their appetizers though, bruschetta is an antipasto that no italian place should make less than great, but they need to work on their grill time for the bread, ironic since they are a panini store! Hope when I go back next time the bruschetta can be improved. read more

Panino Rustico - Bruschetta Plack - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I cannot speak for the restaurant, I had a COVID-19 delivery via grub hub. What I will say is that the Roast beef panini I bought, Mom had a grilled chicken with arugula, sweet red peppers, pesto, and mozzarella on everything bread, was as advertised. It was plentiful, fresh, and still warm when it was delivered. Taste was good. Mom enjoyed hers as well, although she did say her sandwich was a little light on the pesto. I would definitely order from Panino Rustico again, but I probably wouldn't use the everything bread. The multiple flavors took away from the taste of the roast beef. Mom didn't mind it, though. read more

One of the most underrated sandwich spots in the area... I recommend the P20. Can't give five stars because the service certainly isn't anything to boast about. read more

I'm always on the search for new restaurants in the South Brooklyn area, since moving here. Upon walking in, we were seated right away. The entire menu looked just delicious! So my friends and I decided that we were going to order different paninis to share. When the food came out, it was presented on a platter nicely cut up ready to share. The presentation was beautiful and the paninis were just outstanding! Great experience! I will definitely make this my regular spot! read more

I have been ordering from Panino Rustico since Covid started and great food and great service. I would recommend to anyone.

The food was very good. Just got to say that the service wasn't as satisfying as I would liked it to be. First arrived and we notified the girls (employees) we were going to have a seat outside... Okay no more thank 5 min went by and I had to stand up and wave at the girls ( employees) for attention. Okay I understand maybe they didn't see us. So they give us the menus and we order good so far and our plates arrived quickly again good so far, but the thing that blew me off was that I wasn't offer any utensils nor napkins so I literally got up and got my table what we needed. I don't go to a restaurant to server myself and if I wanted to I'd go to a buffet. I would of understood it it was packed but they had only 4 tables to serve I don't ask for much read more
