Panico's - New Brunswick
Panico's
Description
This restaurant, formerly known for its charm, now struggles with a lackluster atmosphere and uneven service. While some diners appreciate the wide menu and commendable appetizers, others find the food underwhelming, with items like overcooked veal and dry eggplant parmesan. The standout Margherita pizza, made in a brick oven, receives praise, although some offerings fail to impress. Despite its potential, the combination of a fast-casual vibe and inconsistent dining experiences leaves much to be desired. Overall, it caters well to those seeking pub grub but may disappoint those hoping for a romantic dinner.

Feedback
The restaurant is in need of a makeover; it had a grimy appearance, and the windows were filthy. The waitress seemed unfamiliar with the menu and didn't know the name of the house wine or whether they offered any other wine options (which they didn't). The eggplant parmesan was quite dry.
The servers were extremely attentive, and there was live music playing in the background, creating a lovely ambiance.
We stopped for quick appetizers and pizza before a show at the State Theatre in New Brunswick. The appetizers were quite good; we tried the Eggplant Rollatini and a special calamari dish with shrimp, pineapple, and red pepper. Unfortunately, the pizza didn't live up to expectations. It wasn’t as thin crusted as advertised and was slightly burnt on top. The service was inconsistent, but overall, we had a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
After posting this in January 2021, I received a call from the owner and the manager. They acknowledged the issue, and I really appreciate that. This time, we ordered chicken Marsala, and we loved it! Thank you to the team for addressing the situation and making things right. We all make mistakes, but the best among us strive to correct them. I have great appreciation for the management at this restaurant, and I have no doubts about the quality of the food!
I absolutely adore their wide selection of high-quality pizzas! The staff is always welcoming, and I’ve never been disappointed. It’s definitely worth the trip! Plus, it’s rare to find a pizza place with a full bar. It's great to enjoy a beer with your pizza without the hassle of painting someone’s wall, haha!
