Paneantico continues to be our go -o place to have good Italian food in a relaxed setting.

The star attraction for us is the mozzarella, which is made daily and surpasses that from any other stores. When ordering a sandwich or a bagel, we ask for a slice. It makes it delicious. Bringing a ball or two or this mozzarella with Panteonico s outstanding brick oven bread is always deeply appreciated and lovingly served when we visit friends and family. .

The other special item is their homemade balsamic reduction. It is a welcome gift.

The other individual item we really like is the coffee, hot or iced. The baristas are helpful, spirited and will make whatever you want to your order.

Our favorite sandwich is (grilled?) chicken on chiabata hero bread, with arugula, fried peppers, mozzarella and a dose of Paneontico s great balsamic reduction. The breakfasts of either frittata or bagels and mozzarella are great, and well priced.

Service is generally personable and easygoing. The crowd is spirited and upbeat.

On the dessert side, our absolute favorites are the sesame cookies and anisette biscotti. For the holidays they sometimes have cuccidati, the Italian fig cookies. The sfogliatelli are good. Cakes are brightly colored, fancily decorated and not that special in taste, something I see in many bakeries. There are plenty of other great things that Paneontico offers.

I highly recommend Paneantico for takeout or a meal. During the pandemic, they have plenty of outdoor seating under umbrellas.
