Description

Panico’s Bistro offers a charming dining experience in a beautifully converted church, blending a relaxed atmosphere with creative, flavorful dishes. Highlights include perfectly charred octopus, excellent seafood like snapper and salmon, and generous portions of pasta and pizza with crispy crusts. The house salad and bread served with herb-infused olive oil are crowd pleasers. While the ambiance is unique, noise levels can be high, and some seating arrangements may feel uncomfortable. Service is attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall visit. Reasonably priced and BYOB, Panico’s remains a top local choice for quality, inventive cuisine in Cape May.

The food is great. It is rather loud in there or else i would have given the ambience a 5. They have the best octopus! 4 people all had a good meal. A salad and one appetizer came to 170$. It is a byob

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Panico's. Our server, Donna, did an excellent job and was very attentive. The food was delicious. The noise level was a bit on the higher side, but I understood that it was in a renovated church. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

Our dining experience at Panico's was wonderful. The meatballs were the best I've had, the pasta sauce was very flavorful and the eggplant pesto entree was excellent. The menu was varied to please all diners.

Excellent food, generous portions, reasonable prices. While not training to be a “five star,” as others in the high price range in Cape May, it's at the top of its field at what it does. Great food, creative, good service, interesting ambiance in a converted church. And the staff definitely knows what they are doing and are friendly.
