Happened upon Panini's while searching for light lunch place not far from work (for easy pickup), and reasonable prices. Safe to say we will be ordering from here again. The cajun chicken salad was a nice fresh blend of greens, spinach and romaine, several grape tomatoes, cajun chicken with enough spice to be flavorful and not overtake the salad itself, a good amount of crispy bacon, thick shreds of pepper jack cheese, and ranch dressing to bring it all together. A tasty chunk of Italian bread came with the salad. The sandwiches come with option of pasta salad or chips, which is both unusual

A place where you'd love to sit for awhile with some well made sandwiches. Bagel with cream cheese, veggies was perfect.

Exceptional paninis/sandwiches and great coffee. Prices very reasonable.
Comfortable seating, television.
Good selection of snacks, fruit etc.
Convenience location- around the corner from the Marriott Hotel Syracuse/Right next to the Marriott Harrison St. Ramp garage.
You can call ahead so your order is ready when you arrive.

Food takes forever during lunch. 30-45 minutes for a sandwich or salad. Only two cooks during lunch with 10-15 people waiting over 30 minutes for food

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Only reason it's not a 5/5 is I felt like workers kept getting distracted by other things and weren't paying attention to customers trying to order.

Good paninis, friendly staff, try them out if you're in the area! Everything tasted fresh, service was quick, they did give us fruit with the sandwich when we had asked for pasta salad, but no biggie. Would try them again.

Only go if you have 30 minutes to sit around and wait for your food. They never have enough help and have now added Uber Eats, so you're waiting for those who are in the restaurant and those orders coming through that service. The food is pretty good once you get it, but it's absolutely not worth wasting your entire lunch hour on...waiting.

The food here is excellent, but the service is crazy slow. I waited in line for almost 30 minutes today with only 5 people ahead of me. This is a little problematic as my lunch break is only 30 minutes. Many people behind me in line gave up and left. I hope this improves because the food is great and I like walking here and I don't want them to go out of business.

While I am not downtown often during lunch hours, when I do find myself there, Panini's is often enough at the top of a short list of places to grab a bite.

Each day Panini's has a soup choice and generally some sort of special. Their website will list these as well which is nice if you are looking for something in particular (i.e. Clam chowder). They have an impressive list of panini choices but you can also get one made to order if you can't find something that matches your tastebuds.

Prices are on the upper end of places to grab a sandwich lunch, generally 8-10 bucks. Sandwiches

The food is tasty and fresh. The menu is creative. My only criticism is their coffee, either drip or espresso is tasteless. The big issue here is the service. The staff is surly, if you get them on a good day. If you get them on a bad day, your experience can be painful. They're not interested in helping anyone I've seen. I feel like I'm inconveniencing them every time I place an order. Even though I walk by this restaurant everyday I go to work, I don't stop unless this is my only option because of the energy drain caused by the staff.

Phenomenal menu!
They had so many delicious sandwiches to choose from, I couldnt decide and went with the soup & salad lunch combo! There is a mozzarella and tomato panini with baby spinach, sweet roasted peepers & pesto mayo I must return for!!!
Plenty of great options for carnivores and veggies. I noticed a wine bar, so it would be a great spot to stop for a nice lunch and/or dinner with some vino!
They deliver within Syracuse too or you can call your order in advance to avoid waiting (everything is made to order, so there was a little bit of a wait, even for to go). The menu is available
