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.

    service (Molly) was excellent. our entrees were delicious. Fried zucchini appetizer was very good but felt the portion was small for the price. The fried calamari was not good at all.

    The food was excellent and the waiter did an amazing job! Prices were pretty much as expected for the style of the restaurant. However, had a 7:30 reservation and we did not get sat until close to 8:15 which seems a little absurd. A lot of other people had similar issues. I understand being busy and understand that tables may sit longer than expected, but, that means you need to lessen the amount of allowed reservations at a time so you are able to actually accommodate your reservation times.

    The nightly specials were great. I was not happy with the Mediterranean crab. Couldn’t find the crab.

    We went to Secondo for our wedding anniversary and loved every minute. It may have been helpful that it was off season but was quiet enough to chat and our waitress was great and didn’t rush us at all. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to go back:-)

    Food and service was wonderful. My only recommendation would be if you have a hearing problem like my husband is to sit in the downstairs dining room because of the live music.
