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.

    We have been dining at Washington Inn over many years. It is a special place for our family. Tonight's dining experience was really great. The menu is a bit different, a little more refined and creative. We appreciate the new menu items... even though we have always loved the older menu. Glad to see the wine and drink list tablets gone, too. Our server, Sonata, was so skilled and friendly. It was a perfect evening.

    I took my wife, mother-in-law, and one daughter there for Valentine’s Day. We were greeted with each of the ladies being given a red rose upon entering the restaurant. The waiter informed us they were a BYOB and that just around the corner was a store where Wine could be purchased. We were all thrilled with our meals, each of us getting a different pasta dish. The muscles we got as an appetizer were excellent. And the service was outstanding.

    We had the best night at the Ebbitt Room! Our experience started with great drinks by Fletcher at the bar and carried through all the way to dessert. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We felt like we were in a Hallmark movie with the snow falling outside! Great night. We already booked our next stay.
