Panini's Italian Cucina (149 Street)

I went in this morning to Panini's on 149 St and was greeted by such a hospitable, friendly, warm, and generous woman (Becky from Colombia). She is an amazing woman and made my visit to the restaurant totally worth it. You would do well to make a visit to this place just to meet Becky. You'll feel like you're at her house, she being hostess. She can get a little busy though. The restaurant has lots of light, lots of windows, air conditioned, clean, with outdoor seating. The male washroom was large enough, looked nice. If you get the Italian soda, get 3 or less pumps of syrup instead of the usual 6. The music wasn't very loud, which I liked, kind of elevator music, and I think possibly on CD because it ended and there was silence. I hope that the management will add the option of organic sesame rice crackers to go with the salad instead of gluten-free toast. I got some tea but didn't get a napkin with the cup and saucer and that napkin would have been helpful because I was looking for somewhere to put my tea bag since the saucer doesn't extend much further past the cup. I would love to come back here and bring others with me. Becky was the highlight. :) But I must say that I am thankful and grateful that Kadence came to my table sometimes too to look after me and that was very much needed

Panini's is amazing, their gluten free pasta is eggless which is great for vegans or allergies. I love the penne Primavera with Kalamata olives added. Their service is amazing, I've loved every single server I've had so far. I highly recommend going if you love pasta!
