Why Choose Dom Panino
Why diners and event hosts choose Dom Panino for loaded Italian sandwiches, live stations, and neighborhood lunches
Signature Hot Loaded Panini
Dom Panino constructs massive hot sandwiches like the Joey Vodka and The Rocky, featuring crispy chicken schnitzel, rich vodka sugo, spicy sopressa, and tender meats on fresh bread.
The sugo is rich and flavourful, the schnitzel stays crispy, and the sopressa gives it just the right kick.
Luis F G Covarrubia Warm Levain-Style Cookies In-House
Alongside savory rolls, the kitchen bakes deep, Levain-style American chocolate chip cookies with gooey, soft interiors.
Deliciously decadent, warm and gooey, the perfect treat after your panino.
Karen Almeida Interactive Live Pasta and Donut Stations
Private gatherings and celebrations feature interactive live stations serving freshly tossed pasta and made-to-order Italian donuts (sfinci) customized by guests.
However, the standout was the freshly made Italian donuts where guests could chose which toppings they wanted.
Han and Peter Hill Stress-Free Event and Office Catering
Large groups, office lunches, and celebrations rely on pre-portioned catering boxes that simplify event setup and eliminate guesswork.
The team was also incredibly helpful with advice on quantities, which took the guesswork out of catering for a larger group.
Toby Iemma Dog-Friendly Outdoor Seating
The outdoor seating setup provides a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere where diners can pull up a table with their dogs.
Service with a smile from the team, too, and I was able to pull up a table outside with my dogs.
Elle Morgan-Thomas Neighborhood Stop for Local Outings
Conveniently located for local families, the café provides a hearty lunch and coffee stop after nearby activities and weekend routines.
A mandatory stop after Littles swimming lessons next door.

Before you head over
Practical dining tips for timing, seating, and ordering at Dom Panino
Time Weekend Visits to Avoid Peak Waits
Sunday peak periods can lead to substantial wait times for food as the kitchen prepares hot made-to-order panini. Visit on quieter weekdays or drop in early to avoid the peak rush.
Grab Outdoor Tables When Visiting With Dogs
Outdoor tables are pet-friendly, making it convenient to pull up an outside seat if you are dining with your dog after weekend activities.
Plan for Substantial Portion Sizes
The loaded panini are substantially portioned with rich sauces and fillings that make a full meal. Consider ordering to share if you also plan to try desserts like the house chocolate chip cookie.
