Pantano’s in Hewlett is a go-to neighborhood spot known for oversized sandwiches, hearty breakfast plates, and casual comfort food that always hits the spot. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, grabbing a sandwich to go, or sitting down for a relaxed weekend breakfast, Pantano’s delivers flavor, freshness, and that familiar deli-meets-café feel.

The menu is packed with options, but the signature sandwiches are the real highlight. The Chicken Cutlet Heroes are standouts: crispy, juicy chicken layered with fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, or classic lettuce and tomato—depending on your preference. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap is another favorite, with the right amount of heat and a creamy balance that keeps you going back for more.

Breakfast is equally strong here. The Egg and Cheese on a Roll is simple and satisfying, while the Pancakes and French Toast are great for something sweet in the morning. For something heartier, try the Breakfast Burrito—eggs, cheese, potatoes, and protein, all wrapped warm and filling.

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Salads are fresh and well-portioned, with options ranging from grilled chicken to tuna to chopped vegetable blends. Sides like Curly Fries or Sweet Potato Fries pair perfectly with lunch choices.

Drinks are straightforward—iced coffee, fountain drinks, bottled teas, and smoothies—ideal for pairing with a big sandwich or a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

The ambiance is comfortable, casual, and family-friendly, with a steady flow of locals, students, and regulars who treat this place like part of their routine. It’s the kind of spot where you can dine in without feeling rushed, or pick up takeout and be on your way fast.
