Panico's Brick Oven Pizza – Italian
The warm glow of the brick oven serves as the heart of this inviting neighborhood haunt, where the scent of bubbling cheese and garlic-sautéed greens fills the air. Guests can dive into bowls of briny clams and tender meatballs simmered in savory sauces, or opt for crisp, thin-crust pizzas that emerge perfectly charred from the wood-fired heat. From vibrant plates of sautéed broccoli rabe to comforting golden-fried favorites, every dish is served with a sense of unpretentious, home-cooked charm.
