About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Rude, Rude, RUDE hostess who actually waved a finger in my face when I asked about our reservation for a second time. It was past the time I reserved and we ended up eating in the bar. The only reason I even stayed is because I had a friend here from out of town and it was a busy Saturday. Very mediocre food and terrible service. There are so many other restaurants in CM that would be happy for your business. Go elsewhere!

    Delicious meal and service was excellent. We had the pork chops with gnocchi, one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. We sat outdoors and there was live music. Lovely evening.

    My entree special for $40.00 in my opinion was overly expensive for what I got. I didn’t enjoy it due to way too much sauce and too sweet. That said the restaurant is gorgeous! The staff top notch! Our waitress went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests!

    We dine here all the time and throughout the winter. We were disappointed to see that the antipasto was served with soppressato that had gone bad. It appeared dark brown in color but it wasn't until later that night that we both got sick. We didn't think to say anything because we never imagined that this restaurant would serve food that had gone bad.
