Panino's

Extensive menu with something to please everyone. It's hard to get bored with selections form every type of pizza you can imagine, every type of pasta and Italian standards. Only a couple of times have I had a bad meal (each time was just overcooked pasta). The food and service are very consistent, which is why I keep going back. Delivery ( 6 blocks for me) is ALWAYS fast and the delivery people are actually courteous and will talk to you like human beings. Good thing they are not around the corner or I'd go there almost every day.

I live right down the street from this location and the food is always consistent. I've ordered pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers and all have been pretty good.

The best thing I like about this location is pizza by the slice. Quick, easy and tasty. Can't go wrong with either thin crust or deep dish. Great crust.

Order is always fast and food hot.

-1 customer service. Some new girl acts as if you are inconveniencing her for picking up an order. First she was watching tv as I stood there. No eye contact. Swiped my card, gave me my food without saying a word. Weird.

This is our go-to Italian place, we've been going for years. There are 2 sides to this place, the restaurant and the take-out side. The take-out side is very limited, they don't have the full menu, and it's mostly pizzas and slices. The two halves aren't really comparable, they are completely different- even the pizza at the restaurant is light years better than at the take-out side.   We always go to the restaurant when we're in an Italian mood, and have never been disappointed.  I don't remember the name, but the pasta with sausage and tomato cream sauce is awesome. All the entrees are HUGE- you'll have enough left for lunch tomorrow, and maybe then some. Also surprisingly, they have 2 great comfort food dishes: ribs (not kidding, they're the best in E. Lakeview) and pot roast- which really reminds me of my mom's.  All the traditional items are there- chicken Marsala, lasagna (meat- don't know if they have veggie), veal (really delicious, a little pricey).  They also have a full complement of wines, but if I go on a week night I don't usually have any. In summer they have a little patio out front, but it's small and it's more sidewalk-y than terrace-y. Plan for leftovers- we've very rarely been able to stop and leave room for dessert. The Tiramisu is killer (the one time I've tried it). They have a great cream of chicken soup that we always get. The bread basket they bring is great- focaccia with olive oil and parmesan- it's an awesome starter.  The ambiance is modern yet still Italian (it was reworked about a year ago).  As I said, I've been going here ever since they opened (8+ years), and the food is always consistent. You're always satisfied, which is precisely what I'm looking for in an Italian place.
