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.

    Friendly and attentive waitress. Nice sized portions. A couple could definitely share an appetizer. The entrees are also a generous size and very tasty. We were there in the off-season, so, the restaurant wasn’t that busy. The hostess chose to place all the guests in the same room; filling up all the tables. As a result, the noise level was a bit higher and it felt crowded. We would have preferred that they opened up the adjacent room and spread guests out a bit more. Other than that, all was fine.
