Review P74: The Downtown Paninos - Colorado Springs

Sari
The best Paninos I ever had. We came here late after a long evening of bar hopping downtown and this place was amazing. We had no reservation, came in and were greeted super friendly and seated right away. Service came directly and brought uns water, came back several times always super nice and even recommend her favorite Paninos, which was awesome. We loved them very much. Also the prices are great. Drinks were so good! This is how service, atmosphere and food must be for a great restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go there! 🌯

This is our first visit, and we truly loved it! We were greeted by the owner Christine and were seated right away. Grace and Kim were awesome servers! The food was unbelievable. We now have made plans with our friends to come again after the holidays!

Great way to end the night by enjoying some great italian food. Our party got there a little early and was able to get the outdoor seating which was nice since it was about 60F outside at the time. The waiting time was about average but the service was on point and never missed anyone. The panini i tried was excellent. An italian burrito!

I’m so grateful for this restaurant. For over 30 years we’ve been coming here for food and fellowship. The staff are exceptional, the service is second-mile, and of course the offerings are delicious. I’m especially appreciative of the managers who personally look after the customers. In particular, the manager helping to serve us tonight is always thoughtful, friendly and attentive. She is the best, even when customers are difficult, she displays patience. Tonight, as always, Paninos delivered a superb casual dining experience.

Everyone was super nice and the food was good a solid 9/10. The food did take a lil bit for a party of 4 but it was a Friday so I understand. I would go again.

We recently had a holiday luncheon here in their private room. Super affordable and amazing! We especially enjoyed the baked penne, and the baked chicken veggie dish. Special shout out to Christina who helped me organize and plan out the menu, and Mady who kept us 23 ladies well hydrated and made sure all our needs were met. It was definitely a group effort as there was always someone avaialble if we needed anything! This is a family owned local gem. We go for dinner frequently. The food is always amazing and the service is always friendly and efficient. Special shout also to the bartender who made my delicious and perfectly tangy limoncello martinis! This is a great place to come and bring your friends and family or just to stop in for lunch or dinner after enjoying the downtown area.

Best Italian... well I think anywhere! We were regulars of the east side location til it closed, now we go downtown. Trevor (with the curly hair) is the best server we have had, but everyone there is amazing!

My son and I came here for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! Our server Tyler, I believe was his name, was so kind and very attentive. Highly recommend! Yum

We came before the Colorado College hockey game. The main dishes we ordered came out quickly.I had the Philly Cheesesteak panino, crispy! My husband had the Eggplant Parmesan. Both were delicious. My only complaints were 2. The house salad was delivered about 1/2 way through our meal and didn’t come with customary blue cheese crumbles and pepperchinis that we requested. The salad was plain and unappealing. We didn’t really want it because we were almost finished with the main course. Also, I ordered one N/A beer which never arrived and was on the bill when it arrived. We were so surprised at this service because we have been coming here for years.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 What a cute spot! I was invited to dinner here and, arriving early, sat at the bar where I was informed that it was still happy hour (from 3 - 6 p.m.), prompting me to order a Moscow mule for the evening. Paninos has the vibe of a mom & pop neighborhood eatery, and that friendly, chill vibe permeated every interaction I had. The bartender and restaurant staff were accommodating and friendly as they sought to find seating for our large group. While I know their paninos are the star jewels of the restaurant, I am a sucker for lasagna. Their lasagna did not disappoint. It is very rare to find a restaurant whose lasagna tastes authentic, meaty, and cheesy, and Paninos NAILED IT. The Moscow mule was very tasty, so much so that I got a second one. Also, I got carded which made me chuckle from the (unintended) compliment. This restaurant is going to be added to my UE list, and I will definitely plan another visit to try out some of their other meals.

Enjoyed a wonderful night on the patio enjoying a glass of red wine and basil salmon pasta dish. Wonderful people and delightful atmosphere. If you're new to the area or passing through, give this spot the opportunity to delight you.

Visiting from Ohio, after playing pickleball at nearby courts, searched for salads near me. Found Panino's as the closest restaurant. Thought we'd try it, based on reviews and photos... Boy in glad we did. We got there 23 mins before they closed and asked if we could order food, and they said sure, no problem! They were so friendly. Ordered the Spinach Salad! Awesome! Fresh spinach, croutons, mushrooms, red onion and tomato with hot bacon & italian dressing. The calzone was great too. Super Service , Great Food! We're heading back again before we head home.

I live out of state and I will ALWAYS make the trip to hit up this spot! The owners are so down to earth and personable! Very cool atmosphere, with an unbelievably mouth watering homemade SECRET recipe that makes these panino’s like nothing I’ve ever had! I‘m so sad I don’t live closer, the people of Colorado Springs better know how lucky they are!!! 🤤 I had the Big Bopper, but they are alllll amazing!
