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'd be happy to accommodate your request for outdoor seating, however please note that selecting this option might result in a slightly longer wait time than your scheduled reservation. We appreciate your understanding. 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.

Red lobster in Vineland was a nice place to dine. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal.. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with dinner starting up with crab stuffed mushrooms, which were absolutely delicious. Lots of cheese and garlic butter sauce. I also enjoyed the lobster bisque. The combination of grilled lobster shrimp, and salmon were perfect with large portions enough to take home with. My wife had the shrimp done two ways both grilled and coconut and she loved them very much. We will definitely be back to return there sometime
