We are anxiously awaiting the reopening of our favorite restaurant- damaged by Hurricane Sandy (as so many of us at the shore were in October), we are eager to return to this wonderful restaurant. When we want to take out-of-town friends to have a delicious dinner on the water, we head for Panini Bay. Though it is small and you... More

I love to eat here. Especially since they began taking reservations. Delicious food and great service. They should give you soup or salad with your entree for the price of the meals but that doesn't stop me from going. Best appetizer is the proscuitto crustini with fig preserves and gorgonzola cheese (YUMMY!). BYOB is also a plus.

Panini Bay makes the worlds best clam sauce. We always travel there by boat form Long Beach Island and have been going there since their inception. When I was in Naples Italy last year, I tried to see how PB's clam sauce would compare to the originators of the dish. PB makes it better. Perhaps it is because the clams... More

We were staying at a B&B in Tuckerton for a wedding and found Panini Bay while exploring the surrounding area. While it looks unassuming from the outside, we were pleasantly surprised at our great dining experience! The bruschetta with proscuitto, fig jam, and gorgonzola and the linguini with clams were DELICIOUS. The apple cheesecake was some of the best cake... More

We ate here on Father's Day 6/17/2012. This restaurant is small but the enclosed patio gives you great views of Little Egg Harbor Bay. They usually have a lunch menu until 4:00pm and then it changes to a dinner menu at 4:00pm. This special day they had the dinner menu on all day which pleased us. We started off with... More

We love Panini Bay! My wife and I found this jewel on the bay after I read a newspaper article up a couple of weeks after we bought our shore house in 2004. We ate dinner there that night, we have breakfast there the next morning and had lunch after that. We would have been back for dinner but this... More

Staying at my sister's we went to Panini Bay for dinner. It appeared to me to be just an atmosphere restaurant with ok food just to get by. Appearance was just that , just appearance, Food was excellent and service was same. We barely knew the wait staff were there, just what you want in a good restaurant. We never... More

We have been dining at Panini Bay for years and are always pleased with both the atmosphere and their delicious menu ! You can't beat a waterfront restaurant where you can enjoy the view and even arrive by boat if you wish. They have a small but varied menu everything from handmade pastas to seafood and steaks. It's a bring... More

Always consistent. Located right on the bay in Tuckerton Beach, there is a nice dock to tie your boat up if you want to come by water. Service is always good and so is the meal. It's a BYOB establishment so don't forget your favorite adult beverage.
