In Italian, the word, Secondo means “the second part of a duet.” When we opened Panico’s Bistro, we knew we wanted to eventually add some harmony to our original melody and so, Secondo is the continuation of our long-standing tradition to serve classic Italian cuisine in concert with Mediterranean influences right here in Cape May County. Nested beautifully on the bay, enjoy dinner and hand-handcrafted cocktails; inside in our sophisticated dining room or outside on our covered patio next to the harbor and water. Reservations recommended. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability. We will do our best to accommodate requests for seating preferences and/or outside dining, but they cannot be guaranteed based on limited outdoor seating. Outdoor dining may have additional wait times. Two bars (seasonal) are available to enjoy cocktails and wine should you arrive early for your reservation.For parties greater than eight or private events, please call 609-600-2115.

Excellent food and portions except for appetizer (tasty but sm. portion on the scallops). Specialty cocktails were excellent, esp. the spiced pear martini. The Baklava was delicious. The main room lighting looked nice and muted but the side room was a bit too bright. We'll definitely return.

The snapper fish was good. I ended up taking lots of it home. The portion was huge. The potato fries and soup were delicious. Daniel, our waiter, was exceptional. We will come here again.
