Who has the best Panini in L.A?

[J Snizzo]

I have recently been getting my panini fix at Urth Caffe. I either get the Caprese, which has mozzarella, roasted red and yello peppers, sun dried tomatoes, basil, and a pesto & olive spread that is to die for, or the Prosciutto, which has prosciutto, some other Italian cheese (can figure it out, but yummy), and the sun-dried tomatoes/basil&olive spread deal. They also have a portobello one, but it's hard to stray from your favs...

I just wish they had a half panini / soup combo.

Where else can I find an awesome panini?

On my of favorites among many at Medocino Farms is their Prosciutto & Roasted Chicken with local Gioia fresh mozzarella, crushed honey roasted almonds, basil pesto, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes on panini grilled ciabatta. Good Sandwich.

Has the MdR location gotten their beer and wine license yet?

The permit is up but they are not serving yet.

I'm not a panini expert, but the best panini sandwich I've had this year was at Bite Bar & Bakery in Santa Monica. Their crab sandwich was stellar.

Bristol Farms does a pretty good job with a traditional style grilled panino.
A little place in Venice called Centanni on Lincoln near Venice makes a very good panino, but not in a traditional style.
I am sure neither rises to the "best" category though.

I like the panini sandwiches at The Corner Bakery.

They also have a half-half sandwich soup combo. The vegetarian panini paired with the roasted corn soup is a pretty good combo.

Second on Il Tramezzino in Beverly Hills.

The only pannini I've had there- the Parma Prosciutto Special with cured ham, arugula, brie cheese, cantaloupe and balsamic vinegar- will be strong competition to your Urth Prosciutto.

Please report back!

Third on Il Tramezzino. I always get Grilled Breast of Chicken or Chicken Mushroom.

Artisan Cheese Gallery makes some outstanding panini too.
