My parents raved about this little deli/restaurant, and boy... it did not disappoint! When I walked in, I was greeted warmly by a helpful and kind gentleman whom I surmised was Gustavo. My parents recommended the sandwiches, comparing them to ones we used to order-- and loved-- decades ago from another long-gone deli here in Las Vegas. I ordered 2 different mufaletta sandwiches (the regular one and the daily special one), as well as some deli meats for me and our neighbors. Gustavo was thoughtful and separated the giardinara so that the sandwiches would not become soggy when we ate them later. As I waited for my order, he offered me water and, later, even espresso and limoncello! What a way to make someone feel at home! The limoncello was incredible, but it was the thoughtfulness and hospitality behind the offer that was the real showstopper.
We had the sandwiches later for dinner, and they were beyond compare! The fresh giardinara, the fresh and tasty deli meat and cheese, and the crisp spring mix, all on incredibly delicious focaccia bread-- all we can say is wow! My family and I love a good sandwich, and this was among the best we've had in a long time!
I was enticed by the delicious-looking cannolis and the homemade tiramisu before leaving, and they, too, were delectable. My husband rates the cannoli as a 10/10, commenting that the shell was so tasty and the filling scrumptious. I had a couple bites of the tiramisu, my all-time favorite dessert, and it, too, was absolutely heavenly. I am not sure I will be able to leave the rest untouched, though I promised my son he could finish it, because it, too, is his favorite.
Although Panino's is a bit of a drive for us, I cannot wait to go back at any opportunity and try many more things on its extensive menu. I highly recommend this wonderful little place for lunch and...
Read morePanino, nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, is an Italian haven that will undoubtedly gratify your culinary cravings.
Step into the cozy ambiance and immerse yourself in the aroma of freshly baked bread and tantalizing sauces. With a modest price range of $14 per person, Panino offers an accessible indulgence.
The menu showcases a symphony of sandwich creations, each crafted with love and precision. The Don Corleone, a masterpiece in itself, enchants with its savory layers of tender meats and tangy sauces. For a lighter option, the egg salad sandwich delivers a delightful balance of flavors, though be prepared for a bit of a mess!
Panino’s sandwiches are a testament to the art of simplicity. While the bread’s crispy exterior provides a satisfying crunch, it could benefit from a touch more softness to match the fluffy interior. This minor flaw, however, pales in comparison to the overall gastronomic experience.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on the run or savoring a leisurely lunch, Panino is an establishment that will leave a lasting impression. As a refreshing addition to your dining repertoire or a steadfast favorite, Panino is a culinary gem not...
Read moreTucked away like a hidden gem, this Italian deli delivers the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid-bite and nod in approval. From the moment you walk in, the smell of cured meats, fresh bread, and imported cheeses hits you—and you know you’re in the right place. It’s got that old-school, no-frills charm: shelves stacked with jars of olives, and a counter crew that knows their stuff.
The sandwiches? Legit. Piled high with quality ingredients like prosciutto, capicola, and fresh mozzarella. They don’t skimp, and every bite tastes like it came straight out of a family kitchen in Naples. Even the bread is on point—crusty on the outside, soft in the middle and warm, exactly how it should be.
But here’s the thing: it ain’t cheap. Expect to drop a little more than you’d like for a sandwich, especially if you’re used to corner delis. That said, the quality holds up, and you’re paying for something that feels authentic in every bite.
If you’re looking for the real deal and don’t mind spending a few extra bucks for a seriously good Italian sandwich, this place delivers. Just maybe skip the daily visit—unless your wallet is as full...
