The Panera summer menu debuts with new Italian-style steak sandwiches, fresh salads, and fruity lemonades. Available nationwide for a limited time.

This summer, Panera is bringing the flavors of Italy to a cafe near you with the launch of three new, Italian-inspired menu items, each crafted to capture the essence of old-world flavors with a bold twist. Available for a limited time only, the new offerings are part of Panera’s summer menu launch. They should make good dining options for warm-weather cravings and al fresco dining that will transport you to your own European escape. These new menu items will be available nationwide, as well as in the Orlando market.
