The smell of spiced marinara and penne primavera fill Panino's at lunchtime, a fun family spot for hearty Italian-influenced dishes in between espresso and gelato. Fill up on meat timpano—a pasta pie stuffed with sausage, meatballs and mortadella and baked in marinara sauce. Vegetarians have a selection of meatless panini and tostino sandwiches (on grilled focaccia), while seafood lovers can enjoy grilled octopus, shrimp and clams. Panino's has a large indoor and patio space for hosting pizza parties, and there's always a slice of homemade tiramisu or a scoop of lemon Italian ice to take home.
