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.

Long before the farm-to-table trend invaded America, Louisa’s espoused this philosophy, and served food to match. The tiny-but-iconic eatery was established in 1980 and has been dishing out incredibly fresh and delicious food in the small historic yellow building ever since. The menu is all regional fare — fish caught from the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, plus vegetables, fruits, herbs (and beautiful fresh flowers) from West Cape May’s Beach Plum Farm, augmented by produce from other New Jersey farms.The kitchen philosophy is to cook simple, expertly seasoned dishes that are lovingly prepared and made from fresh, first-rate ingredients. The menu changes often but the one constant you’ll find here is the dedication to a great dining experience.

    Hamachi Crudo was fantastic! Then the Cape May scallops and the Iberico Pork were outstanding! We finished with the Valrhona Chocolate Pie and the Strawberry-rhubarb tartlet. OMG! Every dish was perfect and spectacular! The service matched perfectly - we had awesome servers and staff that took great care of us even bringing me a blanket as it was colder that expected outdoors. We also had 2 mocktails - both were wonderful! I can't wait to return and am doing so Monday.... Can't wait to see the restaurant week menu and dine there again!

    We were completely satisfied with this restaurant. It was amazing. The food was amazing and so much that we brought half home. It was delicious. And the server that we had was Dayla and she was the nicest most efficient server. We have had in a very long time and very pleasant and easy to talk to. It was a birthday celebration and they brought out a couple desserts with a candle for our friend that was turning 80. It was wonderful. Try it out.

    The new menu for summer 2026 is outstanding. From the cocktails to the main menu- top notch. We weren’t aware of the Early Bird Dinner menu and was pleasantly surprised. Beach Water is my new favorite cocktail! Miles was our server- very attentive and provided excellent service!

    Great Italian food and, obviously, based on the lively crowd that was as excited as we were to get a great meal, the word must be out. Everything was perfect, menu selections, specials, service and taste. Bravo!
