Pano e Vino is an extraordinary dinning option in Lawrence. Understand, it is not a typical restaurant in that you almost always need a reservation, although walk-ins are sometimes possible. The menu is limited to prefix meals and specials and the dinning room is small and intimate. Michael, proprietor, chef, and sommelier will offer you a plate of food and bottle of wine you will not soon forget. The menu is frequently Italian or French, places that the owner knows well from his extensive travels as he offers wine and food tours as well. If you really love food and wine, you have to experience an evening at Pano e Vino.

We had an amazing afternoon here. The wine list was wonderful. The owner Michael was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious (we had the special pasta). It was laid back and relaxed and just a truly enjoyable experience. We will be back for sure next time we are in Lawrence.

This was a Christmas party for a small group of 16ish people. Started with a charcuterie board. Loved the prosciutto and cheeses! Ribolotta, a Tuscan bean soup, was next, and it was delicious. A butter lettuce salad was served prior to the main entree. I tried the oven roasted salmon. Loved it and the mushrooms with it. Wife and the Osso Buco milanese, a braised beef shank. It was incredibly tender and great flavor.

We just attended the Cain tasting dinner. Wine was amazing, food was delicious, the experience was simply wonderful.
I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning more about wine.
PS We traveled from KC – super easy to book an Uber there and back to take the driving out of the equation and just enjoy the night.

Offers flights, wine by the bottle, or by the glass. We tried a flight as well as some bread and cheese for small eats. Lovely atmosphere. Mike and Mary the owners were lovely company! Enjoyed the couch in the corner and look forward to seeing someone play the piano near the door! Will certainly be back, and often. The notes and maps in the menu are very educational as well for a novice oenophile such as myself.

Lawrence has a renowned history of craft brewing, and now we wine lovers finally have a place to learn about and enjoy fine wine! Sommelier Michael’s training, knowledge and wine curation are top-notch. He knows many of the Italian producers personally and has a stellar collection, properly stored. The vibe is friendly and down to earth but sophisticated, and the wine loft is an artsy space to hang out in. No wine snobs here, just fun and educational. Highly recommend!
