    Waiter nice. But forgetful at times. Apps were messed up wrong order came out. Mix up on wine order. Mahi was overcooked and tough. Food otherwise was good. Wasn’t bad service. But needs improvement.

    I recently dined at Osteria Panevino, and unfortunately, the food was a letdown. The dishes I tried were surprisingly bland and unremarkable. The flavors were uninspired and lacked depth, making for a thoroughly unmemorable dining experience. The presentation was average, but that's where the positives end. Overall, I found the cuisine to be very plain and boring. Perhaps with some revisions to their menu and cooking techniques, they can elevate their offerings to something more exciting.

    Perfect caesar salad, dull stuffed mushrooms, delicious sea bass, boring mahi mahi. Service was OK. Our server had a big party outside and wasn't as attentive as he could have been. An unusual service fee is added and the server was embarrassed trying to explain it. I still don't understand what it's for. We won't be back

    The first time I visited Panevino was for a corporate dinner a few months ago (perfect for a company events and business dinners, by the way). Since then, it’s become my go-to spot. The service consistently exceeds expectations, the food is outstanding, and the music adds a wonderful touch. I highly recommend visiting Panevino for an authentic Italian experience. It’s an elegant venue with exceptional standards, perfect for special occasions. Five stars, without a doubt!

    We had a wonderful cozy meal at this charming restaurant. Fantastic service, delicious food, great wine, all at a reasonable price. My husband has to eat gluten-free and he LOVED his gluten-free penne pasta with wild boar Ragu. I had to lasagna and it was very good as well. I would definitely love to come back to the restaurant next time I’m in town.

    Thank you for your review, Lynn! We are thrilled you enjoyed and so happy to hear that your husband loved the gluten-free pasta. We love to make sure all our guests get to enjoy some of our favorite dishes (and the wild boar ragu is definitely one of them)! Please do join us again next visit!

    The chicken parm is horrible the meat was grey and made my man’s stomach feel like cement and he’s now sick. Also the food was cold and everyone at the restaurant couldn’t finish their food we over heard the table next to us say that the food was horrible and crazy over priced. I’d rather eat rubber than that food ever again and that’s on baby
