Panino's Restaurant

Parking can be limited in this area, as the restaurant shares with other businesses. We have never not found a space, by some miracle, but you may find yourself in the furthest spot from the entrance, due to the popularity - rather lunch or dinner. Walk through a glass door with metal handles to a host stand on the left, baseball gumball machine on the right and a bar straight ahead in which you would make it there in two steps. The front of the restaurant houses tables and booths alike. This is also the part of the restaurant the kitchen and restrooms are found. In "the back" are additional tables and booths, but here both are larger and you must be mindful to carefully step up and down from the booths. While black and white checkered tablecloths adorn the tabletops, old memorabilia such as gas cans, chicken statues, hockey photos dress the walls. The floor is carpeted with a low pile grayish carpet, which was dirty. Looking above ones own eye level, you will find wine bottle lights and TVs. The menus are made of a nice wipable martial, but the children's menus are printed on standard paper, with the selections on one side and coloring on the other; your standard four pack of crayons will be provided to each child, which are in a plastic sleeve. Your food is typically served on plastic white/cream colored plates, plastic bowls or white china dishes. This restaurant totes Pepsi products and usually has salt, pepper, parm and red pepper flakes on the table. While known for their paninos, this is an item I have yet to taste. Of the locations in Colorado Springs, this is the one to enjoy!

Friendly service and the food was absolutely delicious!! Parking is a little bit tricky but there is plenty of it.

The inspiration visiting friends. First time here and it certainly won't be the last. We went for the vegetarian pizza and it was delicious
