Tucked into Runcorn Plaza, this relaxed hangout plates soulful Korean-Italian fusion with genuine warmth. Tables gravitate toward the Rib Fillet Pane—tender steak tangled in soy-infused cream pasta, mounded right inside a crusty loaf with a subtle peppery kick. Iced Spanish lattes and strawberry yogurts keep company over unhurried catch-ups, while shave-ice bingsu cools things down.
- Korean-Italian Fusion Pastas: Spicy soy cream steak pasta served inside crusty bread, alongside loaded carbonara and savoury panini.
- Specialty Sips & Sweet Finishes: House-made fruit drinks, strawberry yogurts, and iced Spanish lattes brewed for long chats.

Signature Korean-Fusion Pasta Dishes
Paninaro Cafe serves distinctive specialties like the Rib Fillet Pane and soy-cream steak pasta, balancing rich savory flavors with sweetness and subtle heat.
Second time for lunch and we ordered the Rib Fillet Pane to share and it was soooo delicious,. A savoury, a touch of sweetness and a little kick of heat which was superb.
Rochelle Crichton Artful Bingsu and Specialty Drinks
Diners enjoy generous servings of sweet treats such as textured bingsu alongside refreshing freshly prepared fruit beverages and specialty drinks.
The bingsu was incredibly delicious, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The presentation was beautiful, and the portion size was generous.
Wang Heartfelt and Attentive Hospitality
Guests consistently highlight the genuine warmth, care, and welcoming demeanor of the owners and staff, fostering an environment where visitors feel valued like family.
Staff and owners treat us like family/friends and I cannot understand all the negative reviews.

Jinky Severo A Reliable Destination to Unwind with Friends
Regular visitors rely on the cafe as a comforting weekend ritual to unwind over iced Spanish lattes and quality coffee with friends.
My go-to place to catch up with friends, to rant, to enjoy the cosy atmosphere in the weekends. The best place around to wind down and relax after lunch over a nicely brewed coffee each time.

Before you head over
Practical guidance on sharing portions, study seating, and dine-in visits at Paninaro Cafe.
Split the Pane Pasta
The signature Rib Fillet Pane and pasta bowls arrive in very generous portions; sharing the bread-bowl pasta between two is a popular way to leave room for drinks or dessert.
Check Power Outlet Seating
For laptop sessions or study dates, scan for seats near dedicated power outlets before settling in, as wall plug access is concentrated at specific tables.
Observe Dine-In Seating Etiquette
When stopping by during busy daytime rush hours to catch up with friends, be aware of standard dine-in ordering courtesies per seated customer during peak table turnover.
