I went to Panini’s to celebrate my birthday and it was an awesome experience. Although they were busy, we were seated very quickly and food came nice and fast too. Service was great, the food was hot and delicious and the garlic bread was the best I’ve had in a long time! I ordered a chicken Alfredo dish and it was incredible. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing! What can I say every item I've ever had has been delicious and the service has always been great. They always keep us coming back for more. We have been here at least 3 times for dine in and have take out regularly. Panini's never disappoints. Give them a try. Sherwood Park's ONLY "Authentic" Italian restaurant actually owned by real Italians! AWESOME!

The pasta I ordered was brought to me within approximately 3 minutes. And that's exactly how it tastes: dry, old, bad. No way, a chef can make that within 3 minutes, it was prepared before and warmed up in a microwave. Black dirt on the plate which according to the waitress is from baking it in the oven. The floor left to me was dirty and as a first impression, I was not impressed. Overall, a bad experience and definitely not Italian. Not recommend and I won't come back !

I absolutely love this place and I have been a return customer since it opened up. It’s my all time favorite food. Everything on their menu is made so well with the perfect ingredients. It’s an elevated casual place to eat which I absolutely love. Picture the chicken pesto panini. First time trying this item and I loved it. 💜

Visited Italian bistro not too long ago and food at panini was WAY worse for every item we ordered. Staff was friendly and helpful though. Ended up paying close to $90 for 2 and it definitely wasn't worth it.

In total the experience was great!! We went around 2:45pm, our server name was Cassidy she is great in hospitality and communication she does not push anything but she makes sure that the customers know all their options. We ordered 2 BUILD YOUR OWN PASTA. 1. Pesto pasta 2. Olive oil garlic chilli pepper pasta 3. Arugula caprese salad with chicken Both their pastas were so good definitely better than other Italian restaurants we’ve been to. And the arugula caprese salad is a must try if you’re in salads. We also ordered Panini’s hard limonata cocktail, I like a little bit sweet cocktails so that was the best one to go with. Definitely recommend to visit and try build your own pasta and arugula.

Recently I ordered from here via Skip, the food was great! The reason for one star is me paying $28 DOLLARS for a 375 ml bottle of champagne. Now to a degree this is my fault for not knowing champagne prices. But when I go to my local liqour store and see a 750 ml bottle for $21. I know theres mark up, I know theres profit that needs to be made. Yes its a cute little mini bottle of champagne. However if this is your guys bussiniess moral compass, I will be spending the rest of my life sharing this story with anyone wholl listen.

I have tried several food items from here (pizza, two kinds of sandwiches, pasta, bruschetta, calamari, and desserts). And I have to say all items are made very well and taste was wonderful. For food 5/5. The only reason I gave this place a 4 is for the service. One of the servers was noted to have pet hair all over her clothes (including apron). Overall the attentiveness of the servers was okay. Could use a bit of improvement in that category. Will probably return.

An odd and disappointing experience being seated. I waited for what seemed like a very abnormal amount of time, while the girls at the front literally said nothing too me. Instead, looked at me and then past me at the other patrons to give them their take out orders, even though I was in well before many of them. It was so bizarre, I was right in front of them but it was as if I didnt even exist. Ive never had such an experience, it was so awkward and strange. Most of the time, if its going to be a wait someone would say, well be right with you!, and show you to a table within the next couple minutes or so. Even, hello, you can take a seat, or hello, please wait...but nothing. Silence and completely ignored. I should add the dining room was mostly empty so there was plenty of space. Even the other patrons were looking over at me when they would be served as if they were also confused. There was no sign saying to wait, so I after awhile I thought Id just go in and find a seat as I was completely ignored. I asked the young man in the dining area if I was supposed to wait to be seated. He said the girls up front were supposed to seat me. Anyways, this young man was kind and accommodating. The food itself was good as always, aside from the gluten free bread being very flimsy. 3 stars because the food was good and the service inside the dining room was good. But wow, I cant believe they cant even be bothered to greet customers and actively ignore those that need to be seated. I dont mind waiting, but they were just rude.

Food was good, fresh, flavourful. Just knocked a star off because it didn t knock my boots off haha. It was pretty pricey for the amount you get. $22.50 for an 8 inch pizza?! Woah! Service was great- no complaints there. No much of an atmosphere. It s a pretty casual place but if that s what you are looking for then that s great! Overall, it wasn t bad but I won t be back just due to the price.

Came in last night with friends.. place was packed at 7:30 pm.. after 8, it was starting to clear out fast.. food was very good, took a little while to get it but it was good. I gave it 3 star review because of the service. She was all over the place she didnt check on us I had to ask her to get everyone refills and water. Had to ask for plates. She didnt ask my daughter if she wanted anything to drink. It was hot in the restaurant last night - even in a t-shirt.. we will come back for food. Hopefully, next time, we will get a better service

it was my mom s birthday and this is where she picked to go. What a GREAT choice!! Our server Schiffer was AMAZING!! The food was so delicious and enjoyable!! Very reasonable prices. Schiffer gave my mom a dessert on the house which made the experience extra special!! The only downside to this was that the tables were very close to eachother. We will definitely be back!!

Tried this restaurant for a light dinner tonight for the first time. Was impressed with the service and atmosphere. Food was good although a Cesar salad with chicken was a little on the pricey side. Food rating above was not a 5 only because of Cesar salad. The other dishes served at the table we great and my group was happy. I will definitely go back again and try one of their other dishes.

I will say normally this place is one of the best but tonight was different. We had to wait for a few minutes to get seated when nobody else was there. & then as soon as we were seated water was brought out but no waitress for 10 minutes. At first everything was great. We ordered our food & it was good. & then As i m in the middle of eating my appetizer the waitress comes and takes the plate right from me while I had my mouth full. She never asked once how the food was and did not refill our drinks. Usually this place is amazing. But the people working tonight huddled in a corner talking acting like it was high school & were saying F bombs among other words which typically i don t care about but professionalism goes a long way. This has made a huge change in my mind and I will no longer be back or recommend it again. This had completely ruined it for me.

We had an incredible experience here, my S.O had the spaghetti carbonara, and I got a large douple pep pizza, both servings were huge and we had losts of left overs, we both thought pricing was extremely reasonable including dessert. We saw others get paninis and definitely want to try those next time!

Normally I love coming here & love the food but today was different. I came alone and was seated at a nice table but ultimately ignored for 10 minutes. I got up to talk to the staff at the cashier to explain Id be leaving because I was ignored. They were understanding & offered to seat me at the bar but at that point I just felt like no. Ill spend money where I wont be ignored. Will change my review when I have a positive experience at Paninis again.

We finally managed to make it in on a Thursday to try the arancini and they were to die for! And of course, we can never go home empty handed. Were always inevitably too full to eat dessert on site, but we take cannolis to go every time! The atmosphere is great and the staff really make you feel at home. Definitely one of my top 5 restaurants in the greater Edmonton area!

So far tried the chicken cutlet NY style hero and it was hands down one of the most flavorful sandwiches I have ever had. 10/10 for the taste buds. ROBS FAMOUS SICILIAN SQUARE PIES!! It is one of the the most flavorful pizzas I have ever encountered in my life pursuit to find the best local pizza. My mouth still tingles with delicious after taste after eating it 20 minutes ago. I must have another slice... I had the pepperoni, sausage pizza. I also tried a hawaiian pizza which blew away italian center, famoso, blaze and all those other Italian style crust pizza places. I cant wait to try a calzone. We also tried the Cannoli for desert and it was a hit. Next time I am going for a pasta as a friend and his daughters said the pastas they chose were all delicious. Kid-friendliness: What kid doesnt love pizza and pasta. There is a kids menu as well.

From the moment you walk in, the warmth of the staff s welcome makes you feel right at home. The food, oh the food, is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Each dish is crafted to perfection, with flavors that are so explosive, they dance on the palate and leave you savoring every single bite until the very last. It s no wonder every mouthful feels like a celebration of taste! The atmosphere is the cherry on top - it s just perfect for fostering great conversations, set in an open environment that s both inviting and vibrant. With a variety of tables to choose from, you re spoilt for choice, whether you re here for a quick lunch or a leisurely catch-up with friends. And if the constant chimes of Skip the Dishes and Uber are anything to go by, this place isn t just a local favorite; it s a culinary hotspot that s in high demand. It s clear to see why - they ve taken the humble panini to extraordinary heights. If you haven t been here yet, you re missing out on a truly delightful dining experience! Kid-friendliness: Yes! Perfect place for small pizzas and sandwiches.

I dont write negative reviews often until I really have a reason to and this is the second time that our Uber Eats order from this restaurant has disappointed. Last order, our desserts were melted (ice creams and apparently the restaurant didnt tell the driver so he kept in hot bag with hot food). Called the restaurant, and they blamed the driver and said he was informed. Not sure whose fault it actually was. Tonight is worse (driver and restaurant fault). We have dinner guests over from out of town so we ordered our dinner from here. We ordered the Feature Pasta - Eggplant Parmigiana.. This was just a bunch of mushed-up eggplant with cheese and sauce. I called to let them know that they missed the pasta and only sent eggplant and was told There is no pasta. It doesnt come with pasta. Its basically like a lasagna made out of eggplant and no pasta Excuse me, what?! So its sold as pasta but comes with no pasta?! Thats extremely misleading. All 4 of us tried it and it was not good so in the garbage it went. We also ordered 3 pizzas and every single pizza came stuck to the top of the pizza box. The boxes were put upside down when the pizzas were made/hot. Total waste of over $100.00. Hubby is now driving to Famoso to get us all new dinner. Were so embarrassed even though its not our fault. I will add that weve eaten in the restaurant a quite a times, and those were great but not sure its worth ordering delivery anymore.

This Italian gem offers a culinary journey that leaves you craving for more. The Panini was the masterpiece of flavors and the taste. With just the right amount of crispiness to the bread and a harmonious blend of ingredients inside, it was a delightful start to the meal. Pizza crust was perfectly thin and crisp, with a flavorful sauce thats both rich and tangy, topped with fresh, high-quality toppings that meld together beautifully. The Tiramisu, a classic Italian dessert, was a showstopper. It managed to strike the perfect balance between the bold flavors of espresso and the subtle sweetness of cheese that were expertly soaked to perfection. It was an exquisite end to our meal. Aaaand the coffee a brew so rich, so robust, that it commands your attention. It was the perfect accompaniment to the Tiramisu, and a fitting end to the dining experience. It s clear that they take their coffee orders seriously as well as their food, making this place a haven for coffee lovers. Whether youre a fan of authentic Italian cuisine or just in search of a meal that warms the soul, this restaurant is a destination worth visiting.

OH MY GOSH, YUM! We finally got a chance to try this place last night, and it did not disappoint. The menu has so many options! They also have several dishes that offer a single serving OR a platter/family style dish that can feed 4-6 people. I LOVE having that option. Especially if you go out with a bunch of kiddos then you can easily order a large pasta dish and they can share. We ordered the Deep-Fried Lasagna (from the shareables portion of the menu) and it was HUGE. Its basically the exact same size as the Rob s Lasagna, expect deep fried. So, you could 100% just eat it as a dish, with some added garlic bread. We split that and then had a small Prosciutto Arugula Pizza. Both dishes were so delicious, and we are eager to go back and try more dishes. They have some incredible looking desserts that are made in-house. Our server was very friendly and once we were seated, she took our drink order and let us know the specials for the day. They have the standard fountain pop, as well as some Italian Soda drinks and cocktails/wine etc. The seating is limited, so its best to get there early if you are going to want to eat during some peak/busy times. They have half booths as well as standard tables/chairs. They have a few tables in the center of the restaurant that can be pulled together to accommodate a larger group. The kitchen is all open, so you can see the action going on. The bathrooms are large and clean. They have roomy standard stalls and handicap accessible stalls. There is only an air hand-dryer and no paper towel; and the lights are automatic when you walk in/out. There are several parking stalls surrounding the restaurant, but it can get filled up quickly when they are busy. They have a couple of handicap spaces close to the door as well. If parking is full, there are several other spots near businesses just a couple of doors down. I would absolutely recommend trying this restaurant because it has become a new favorite for us after just one visit!

What an amazing place. The food is fantastic, watching the kitchen staff prepare the dishes is a treat, so quick, so much skill. After having the fried Lasagna I now have a new favourite all time dish. It really is to die for, in truth if you eat it enough it could be your last meal, but you will die happy. Dietary restrictions: So many choices of pasta, sauces and toppings, you can have your meal anyway you want it. Wheelchair accessibility: Only thing missing is a powered door, however if the staff sees you approach they are quick to get the door.

We ordered here via Skip the Dishes August 26th and man am I so glad that we did. I was craving Chicken Mushroom Fettuccine, Hubby and I were debating between Olive Garden and Boston Pizza when I did a search for Fettuccine Alfredo and came across Panini s Italian Cucina. The food arrived piping hot and man it is seasoned so amazingly!! The chicken is nice chunks that you can see and chew. The mushrooms were the perfect amount and they aren t afraid to use pepper either. Thank you to the Sherwood Park Team for a great Saturday night dinner.

I went to Paninis for lunch during a weekday as we are always on the lookout for new places to try during the work week. Paninis was the restaurant we chose for the new one to try this week. First of all the service we had was dreadfully slow, taking 15 minutes just to get out waters which during a lunch service this is slow. After ordering the our meals took another 10 minutes to show up leaving us with only about 8 minutes to scarf down our meal and get out. The server was just inattentive and wasnt paying attention, which resulted in an incorrect order and multiple times of having to repeat ourselves. The food itself is also about 25% to 30% over priced at least for the sandwiches. $19 for a cold cut hero plus an extra $4 for fries and a drink is steep for what it is, even with inflation being what it is in 2023. Especially considering I can drive down the road to the Italian Center Shop and have an arguably better sandwich with soup for less money. Overall I dont recommend this restaurant for at least work lunches and would go somewhere else.

Updated Review: They have overcome the issues I experienced around their opening day. Things have improved to a point where I can firmly recommend this place as much as I would their original location. Excellent food and friendly service, a must try if you re looking for delicious Italian food. Original Review: Can be summed up pretty quick; abysmal service. It is the same spot that I know and love but with 45 minute wait times, a waiter who forgets to bring you water 3 times in a row and cold pasta. Stick to the original downtown location until the issues here are ironed out.
