I’ve lived in Sherman Oaks for over 25 years and this was my first visit to Panzanella, as I was waiting for a special occasion. So my husband and I went there to celebrate our 9-year anniversary and it exceeded all of our expectations. EVERYTHING about our experience was EXCELLENT! This is certain to be our go-to restaurant for future celebrations!!

The recent redo of this Valley favorite makes a neighborhood restaurant feel like a special occasion. Prices are fair for the quality and quantity. Pastas are always exquisite and the chef has a deft touch with all fare. Note the daily specials which emphasize fresh twists on standards and splurges like fresh truffles. Service is outstanding.

We've eaten at this restaurant since it opened many years ago. Last night the dining room seemed understaffed resulting in long waits for service. The normally great Burrata was smaller than it has been and just ok. My risotto nero was so overly peppered that I assume someone seasoned it more than once. I had to return it and the replacement was as good as it always has been in the past. I'll chalk it up to one bad night since the restaurant has been great in the past.

We love Panzanella, the food is excellent and the service is great. We come at least once a week, it’s delicious food and the atmosphere is so pleasant. The outdoor seating and the orange Vespa on display make you feel like you just escape to Italy.
