My wife and I went in here for date night. BEST Italian food we’ve had outside of Italy in a long time. The server recommend the Gnocchi and the Penne with Wild Boar Sausage, so so good! Gioia was our server and she was so great! If you guys are there in the fall you have to get the Pumpkin Espresso Martini, one of the best drinks ever. Will absolutely be coming back here every time we’re downtown.

If you’re in the Gaslamp District, you have to hit this Italian restaurant—it’s such a vibe! The place is busy and buzzing, which makes it feel really fun and energetic. The bread to start? Delicious. And the food… wow, everything we ordered was just top-notch. You can tell they really care about flavor and quality. Service was great too—super friendly and helpful. Honestly, it hits all the right notes: good food, fun atmosphere, and great staff. Definitely one of my go-to Italian spots when I’m in the area.

My wife and I had a fabulous experience here this evening. The food was wonderful, authentic and there was plenty of it. Service was attentive but nicely paced. We had exactly what we needed but were not rushed at all. My wife had the seafood fettuccine special and I did the veal osimbuco. Both were outstanding. The table bread was delicious. After dinner we had berries and gelato for dessert. I think the gelato was served slightly under temperature but was otherwise excellent. They make an outstanding espresso. I love the architecture of the place. It’s got a very nice feel similar to what I would expect in a good neighborhood restaurant in Rome.

Atmosphere is decent, food is barely edible.
Ordered Calamari and Chicken parmesan.
Calamari was soggy, Chicken cutlet was not fresh .
After trying Quartino in Chicago, its hard to pass this resturant as Italian.
Just edible and fills ur stomach. Nothing to celebrate.

First, this restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The menu is also really good. The waitress / manager Goya gave us (party of 6) outstanding service on busy comic-con weekend.
The bread that you start with was absolutely amazing. Soft, crispy on the crust, and super soft inside. The butter paired with it was soft and perfectly complimented the bread. I wish I took a photo of it.
What better way to see the excellence of the chef than a few appetizers.
So I tried the tuna tartar and it was big and delicious. 6 of us shared it.
We loved the MELENZANE FARCITE eggplant stuffed with ricotta and spinach, marinara sauce and fresh mozzarela, baked.
FUNGHI RIPIENI
mushroom caps, lump crab meat, peppers, bread crumbs, shallots, fresh herbs. This is a smaller appetizer and not really a good option for 6 people, but definitely 2 people.
RISOTTO PORTOFINO
Creamy aborio rice shrimp asparagus and marscäpone cheese. (Best I’ve ever had)
COZZE E VONGOĻE INUMIDO mussels and clams sauteed with cherry tomatoes, garlic white wine sauce served with crostini.
FORMAGGI & SALUMI (for two) chef’s selection of cheese and meats board pears, honey, candied walnuts.
Every appetizer was smacking!! But the stuffed eggplant is a must try! If you love seafood the tuna tartar was my favorite!
We had 2 more dishes, one was a pasta, another was a clam mussels with shrimp in a pink vodka sauce. It was a special and I don’t remember the name.
The only reason this place didn’t get 5 stars is to put a 3.75% surcharge, then tax the total on top of that charge is straight jacking..

This was a special dinner set up for my sister and me on a girls trip by my Brother-in-law. He was so excited for us to have the Pasta prepared in The Parmesan Wheel! Sadly it isn’t available on Fridays & Saturdays because it gets so busy, but boy was our night AMAZING! From the entire Staff to Stephanio, ur Server it was a memorable night! The food was INCREDIBLE! We shared Cacao Pepe the w/Spaghetti instead of Gnocchi and split the Pistachio Crusted Salmon with spinach and subbed the potatoes for the Broccolini. The Chocolate Gelato was perfection and Stephano delivered it with two complimentary Limoncellos because he felt bad about the Parmesan Wheel! We didn’t feel like we had missed anything! GO HERE! It’s Authentic Delicious Italian with a side of Hospitality!

Panevino offers a truly authentic Italian dining experience, with delicious, well-prepared dishes made from high-quality ingredients and served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent from start to finish, full of flavor and perfectly balanced, while the restaurant itself feels cozy yet elegant. The service was outstanding, especially thanks to our server Gioia, who was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, making sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Overall, a great place for an enjoyable meal and an experience worth repeating!
