A Mano Panino — Restaurant in Pensacola

A Mano Panino is phenomenal! If you want to feel like you've just found the locals' lunch spot in a little italian town, this is the place!

Let's just start with the perfectly crusty schiacciata bread, baked fresh daily! It is the perfect foundation for these deliciously crafted panini. The ingredients are so thoughtfully selected and prepared. The amount of love that goes into these works of art is evident by the explosion of flavor you experience in every bite.

My favorite so far is the #7 Il Trovatore. The finocchiona, an Italian style salami made with fennel, pairs perfectly with the peppery arugula, sweet balsamic roasted eggplant, creamy robiola spread, and flavorful fig spread.

The whole thing had me wishing it would never end and when it did, I wished I had room for another! These things are huge! Not only phenomenal quality, but fantastic value, as well!

The outdoor seating is beautiful and great for kids to explore and get out some energy.

Customer service is top notch. The owners are fully invested and involved in orchestrating these amazing experiences.

Bonus: This restaurant is owned by the same people who brought us Lamonte Gelato and you can actually dine inside of Lamonte gelato and finish off your lunch with their famous, authentic gelato and artisan espresso.

Where have you been all my life?! I just fell in love with a sandwich. Ordered #7 because you had me at "fig spread" with fresh ricotta. I had heard that a panino sandwich shop opened in town, and the Italian Jersey Girl in me had to try it. Honestly, I didn't hold much hope for the bread, because the bread is Never Right for me here in the Panhandle. I know it has something to do with water and air differences. I miss the tough breads and rolls of the NJ/NYC area all the time. All I want is a buttered poppy seed hard roll and "coffee regulah" for breakfast... but I digress. I always treat myself to take out on payday and so I took a chance. And I am so glad I did! Everything about this sandwich was right, fresh and delicious: the bread, the meat, the spread, the cheese, the vegetables, the blend of flavors, the way I had to work at it to chew up that sandwich (i.e. the bread had the right "pull", IYKYK). The experience of ordering online and picking it up on my lunch hour was simple and sweet. I will definitely be back for more. I felt like I walked into a little Italian sandwich shop back home in NJ. Even the packaging and presentation was simple and special. THANK YOU. You have a new loyal customer. Honestly, that bread...

A new restaurant in Pensacola that serves artisanal Italian sandwiches!🥪🤌🏼

The owners of Lamonte Gelato & Troubadour (now closed) have started a new restaurant venture!

Atmosphere: The seating area is in an outdoor courtyard area in front of the restaurant with small QR codes placed on each table (the coolest part of that the codes have magnets that keep them connected to the table)! Service: The day I went, there was one person serving guests, and she did a great job of bringing out the food quickly to everyone. Menu items: I got the Il Trovatore sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. The sauce was my favorite part!

The best part is that if you’re wanting a sweet, Lamonte Gelato is just a few...
