Editorial Review for Il Panino Express – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Marble-topped tables surrounded by financial types without their suit jackets and with their ties flung back over one shoulder, all attacking their huge, sloppy eggplant subs.
The Food
In a bid to outpopulate Abercrombie in Boston, Il Panino strikes again with this bustling and handsome sandwich outpost. There's more than just giant subs, though: There are pastas and pizzas, too. The point is fast service from the open kitchen in the back of the room (sweltering, for sure, but the kitchen staff says it's better than their former digs around the corner on Parmenter).

The best pizza and calzones in the north end. The prices are great and so is their food. I'd avoid fiore or lucca and head to express! I live in the north end and swear by this place. All my friends love it as well. The service is great they cook everything in front of you and they are really nice.

I really like their pizza, almost as good as the pizza back in new york. The eggplant sub is very plain and not tasty, the vegetarian sub is not recomended. I do like their calzones and my fiance likes the chicken and brocolli penne. The service is horrible. As a former regular of this shop (work 2 block away at the coast guard base) I had almost every possible horrible customer-service thing done to me (ie; forgotten my order, been yelled at by the cashier, gave me my meal in take out form even after clearing stating that I was eating there and refusing to fix up my order, etc) The only times I would eat there now is when I am short on cash and time and want a slice of pizza for $2.10.
Pros: good pizza, good chicken and brocolli pennebad
Cons: customer service, some food were horrible
