CHEF'S SALAD
Amazing! Finally, a restaurant that knows how to make a chefs salad. Fresh ingredients, tasty and plentiful meats and cheeses. A HUGE salad! And the ranch dressing is to die for, and you get plenty of it! Highly recommend this salad!
Popeye
Yum! I have been frequenting Panino's since the early 90's. The Popeye is my ALL time favorite. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating. Keep up the fantastic service and amazing food!
Pepperoni Cheese Sticks
Baked just right, with a nice amount of cheese to pepperoni ratio. I recommend a dip in the warm marinara sauce for the perfect bite!
CREATE YOUR OWN
This was a first-time visit to Panino's. I hate trying new restaurants because it so often ends up being a complete waste of money. The food seems to always be way overpriced and tasteless. Colorado Springs restaurants seem to have the market cornered on tasteless. Our visit took place during the CO-VID 19 restrictions and the dining experience was great. The service was great, I wish I could recall the waitresses name. She was efficient, pleasant, and never overbearing. I had the Create Your Own made up of penne, marinara, and two sausage links. I was pleasantly surprised, really pleased, and very stuffed. This selection came with a side salad and the best thing about the salad...was the BREAD stick. Warm and tasty. The roasted parmesan cheese and garlic were just right and I could actually taste the bread which is very good. Then the Penne was served Pasta belongs in a bowl and that's what they brought me. The penne was stacked like cordwood and piled high as if a long cold winter was expected. The marinara was a hearty gravy, sticking to the penne as all good marinara should. The sausage was mild but still a good solid flavor. Too much to eat, the leftover went home me. I still wanted dessert and cheesecake is the "goto" for me. I opted for the "Turtle" version. FANTASTIC! The bill was promptly provided, quickly reconciled and my card returned. WE WILL be back!
CREATE YOUR OWN
I have been coming to Panino's for years and always get the same thing - the build your own panino with pepperoni and mushrooms, and a side of ranch. It is always delicious!! The customer service is wonderful. Also, I drive all the way to the downtown location because it is my favorite.
BASIL SALMON
Was so tasty! Lemon cream sauce was amazing!! A must try if you like salmon!!
MARGHERITA
I absolutely loved the pizza. Ordered delivery and it arrived hot and fresh within minutes of leaving the oven. The taste was both savory and sweet and satisfied my craving for a great pizza. The crust is tasty and could be eaten without anything.
FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This is by far the best restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. They're so friendly goes out of their way to accommodate. Oh yeah the food is great also. 👍😁
GRINDER
Absolutely love paninos! We have been going there since I was little and have never been disappointed . The food is amazing and the staff is delightful!
PHILLY
The Philly Panino is one of a kind! It's a nice break from the monotony of eating the same thing all the time. If you want something that's going to fill you up (& offer a little variety with a side like pasta salad), step outside the box (or into it if you order to go) and order Panino's!
BIG BOPPER
We absolutely LOVE this sandwich, it's our favorite along with Paninos Bread sticks which are the BEST in Colorado Springs or any where else we've ever eaten!! :)
PHILLY
My boys get this every time we order and absolutely love it! Always great service and the food is awesome.
PHILLY
So meaty. It was worth every penny. The bread is sooooo delicious. toasted perfectly. I would recommend to anyone.
SMOTHERED GREEN CHILI CALZONE
as if these calzones werent amazing already..i highly recommend kicking it up a knotch and smothering it in their delicious green chili. IT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD! How can you go wrong with drowning something in green chili..you can'tlos.
CHEESE STICKS
My girlfriend is obsessed with cheese and this is her favorite dish in Springs!
GRINDER
The "Grinder" is the best. It is full of flavor and is a hearty sandwich. The juices drip down your arm.
COWBOY
This place is awesome! We had a luncheon catered in for the School Board of Education. Brandon was so amazing every step of the way. The Board absolutely loved the food. In fact it was so good and the prices so reasonable, that now some of the other committees will be calling for catering. GREAT JOB PANINOS!!!
PANINO'S SPECIAL CALZONE
The smothered green chile Panino has been my go to fan fav for 20 years! Humongous portion but once you get started hard not to finish!
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA
This is my go-to dish EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The ingredients are fresh and cooked to precision. And I love that this dish, when served, always hot and presented well. Thank you!
ALL AMERICAN
We love dining here,! Deicious food and friendly service. Many fond memories of our family eating here over the years! #sweepstakesentry
ALL MEAT
I hope I selected the correct item from the drop down list! I had a buffet style night one night and ordered a bunch of food from Paninos; The cheese sticks with pepperoni, Buffalo wings, A large All Meat Pizza, A Chicken Caesar Panino, I want to start by saying that while we didn't speak to anyone I did leave notes for my order and they were fulfilled! So high five on that! The cheese sticks were very yummy and we loved how they had the pepperoni for added flair and taste! Worth it! Buffalo wings were good as well! But that ALL MEAT PIZZA!!!... is out of this world! If you are a "lover" of a more popular chains "MEAT" pizza, you will never eat that one again and will have found you new favorite Meat pizza! This pizza delivered on substantial cheeses, toppings, taste and size! I was/ am impressed! An absolute must if you eat here! The Chicken Caesar Panino is also extremely good. Simple, delicious taste! Fulfilling and plenty to share with another! How can you go to Paninos and not get one! There are plenty to choose from!! I hadn't had Paninos in a very long time prior to ordering this in. I'm glad I did, I'd really forgotten how worth it they are! Your tastebuds will thank you!
BUFFALO CHICKEN
One of my absolute favorite things to eat. Period.
PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP
One of my long-time favorites finally made the full-time line-up! The prime rib french dip Panino is so addicting it should carry a warning label. The addition of some quality horseradish in the Panino along with the tenderly delicious prime rib and Swiss cheese gives it a delightful zest. Paired with the au jus, this Panino packs an amazing taste journey to remember. Guess I'll be going to Paninos for lunch today!
CHEF'S SALAD
Outstanding salad!! Their blue cheese dressing off the charts good!!
GRINDER
I loved it! First time I have tried the place and I really enjoyed this for lunch and would try other styles. I could only eat half but it. But it heated up well the next day. Will order in for my family soon.
Turtle Cheesecake
Absolutely delectable! The portion is large enough to share (or midnight snack), and the presentation is truly elegant. Though I'm closer to the westside location, i prefer the quaint nostalgia of the downtown location. ps. The vegy panino (with zucchini instead of onions) has been my favorite one and only for over 25 years!
Veggie Calzone
We always go here to eat when we're craving Italian. It's a great local shop and would recommend it to anyone !
PESTO CHICKEN
I finally was able to try out the famous Paninos! My husband has been telling me about these Paninos for years. I am so glad I was able to experience the deliciousness! I ordered the chicken pesto, it was perfect! Keep up the good work!! I look forward to coming back and trying them all!
BUFFALO CHICKEN
Awesome food and service! Always consistent with both. I always keep coming back. I love trying a new Panino every time I go!
Spaghetti Pie Panino
The spaghetti pie panino is literally a beast of a meal. It is AMAZING, and packed with goodness. I get it with italian sausage. Who doesn't want pasta inside a sandwich? Paninos spaghetti sauce is my absolute favorite too... just the right amount of sweetness.
BUFFALO CHICKEN
I come here all the time! The food is delicious and never disappoints!
Prime Rib
The prime rib at Paninos is absolutely FANTASTIC! The meat is juicy, flavorful and tender. Additionally, the spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread that come with it are all delicious and packed with flavor! One of the best parts of this meal is just how much food you get! It lasts for several meals making it a great deal in addition to being incredibly tasty. The staff at Paninos are cheerful and efficient, making eating there a great experience from start to finish!
GRINDER
Holy smokes! This panino is the bomb! The dough was cooked to perfection and I ate it all.
B.Y.O
On point!
REUBEN
I love Paninos! I have been going to the Downtown location since the mid 80's. I went with my Dad and now my sons come with me. The Paninos are the best...pick your flavor and you will def enjoy! Great atmosphere also!
RANCH
Paninos is an awesome restaurant. My family has been going here since I was a kid. Great service and the food is always fresh and delicious. The ranch panino is my go-to.
BAKED PENNE
By far our favorite restaurant in Colorado springs
