This is old school northern Italian, done very well. The old school professional service was also refreshing -- our server actually knew how to properly serve a bottle of wine, which I don't often see in Scottsdale. We had the scallop & shrimp appetizer, veal cannelloni, a chicken dish, and the apricot-almond bread pudding. I say "a chicken dish" because while it was juicy and tender it wasn't a stand-out, but both the app and the cannelloni were simply outstanding -- well-seasoned and not overcooked. The bread pudding was good, but I wouldn't have it again...too many calories for not enough pay-off! Wine list was also nice, with some good values at the top end, but I'd like to see more quality wines at the $45-65 price point. Also, the bread was just OK. For a place with "pane" in the name, I'd expect fantastic bread -- but the prices are up there, so we're not there to fill-up on bread! We'll be back.

After reading reviews here, my friends and I chose this place to go for my birthday dinner. Fabulous! The server was very kind and very attentive. We had plenty of time to review the drink menu before we were even given the dinner menu, so nice! The owner came by and checked on us, he was very kind and affable. And the food was delicious. I had the eggplant parm and it was the best eggplant I've had. Very well prepared. I also had a bite of my friend's butternut squash ravioli, and can I just say, YUM! We also started with salads which were excellent. Overall a great experience and I will be going again!

Found this place via restaurant.com and was pleasantly surprised during our vacation in Scottsdale. The place is in a non-descript strip mall off of Pinnacle Peak so it is off the beaten path a bit. But, don't be fooled - it has a very nice atmosphere and the wait staff and management are very friendly and accomodating. The tables are a bit close together, but I could see why they are trying to pack more people in. We were in a party of six and had the calamari appetizer and bruschetta - both very good. The dinner dishes we ordered were chicken marsala (YUM) , linguini with clams, veal tortellini (lots of veal on the menu, which I am not a fan of but was told it was very good) and seafood scampi. The bread is also very good so we were too full for dessert....next time for sure! Next time we are in Scottsdale, we will be back!!

This place went so down hill, it's below ground level. It's dirty, and the food is horrible. It's VERY expensive with very small portions. I predict it will be closed soon, just like the place right next to it. I won't be going back. Check out Bice (across the street), it's awesome.

Simply the best Italian restaurant in North Scottsdale. The menu and food is great and the wait staff is professional. My wife and I dine here almost every week. Every thing on the menu is excellent, but try the sea food stew. a half order is plenty and will amaze you. pastas are also great.

I haven't been to this cute place in years and was hoping but not expecting it to be as good as it has in the past, but it was! It's cozy and cute. The place was not even vaguely busy, but it is high Summer so it didn't deter me. We had the pork shank appetizer that literally fell of the bone and it was superb. I had the fresh Basa Fish Almodnine...delicious and my friend had the butternut squash ravioli. All was sooo good I couldn't stop eating.

I have been here twice now. I am still very pleased with the food. It is absolutely amazing. There is no other way to describe it. The only thing I have to say bad about this hidden gem, if you are a first timer, do not sit in the lounge / bar. The older female bartender / waitress paid very little attention to us and was not all to friendly. The food mire than made up for the service though. I recommend the Veal Tortellini. You can't go wrong with it.
We went for happy hour and were delighted! Elegant, adult, atmosphere. Warm and attentive service, The pizzas were very good, The dough and ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We shared a mista salad, which was good, We are eager to return,

Great Happy Hour! We've only been to the bar area, but have had several good experiences. Wonderful value for the money. The service is stellar, and the bartenders very friendly. Probably the first place I've been in North Scottsdale that truly feels like a local, neighborhood bar. The only downside is that they don't have beer on tap. I'm definitely a fan.

Have to say this is the best place for Happy Hour probably, in AZ. Food and service elegant and excellant. Hands on ownership always good to see! Friendly bar area in lounge for 5-8 happy hour. The restaurant is elegant with a menu to match. My hubby and I were SO impressed! This foodie Wil go back again and again. Try the pork shanks,shrimp and escargo.......all on the Happy Hour menu. Wonderful.

A pretty solid Italian experience. Service was very friendly and the swordfish special I ordered for the main course was very tasty. The noise level in the restaurant is very low which makes for a dinner where you can actually talk with each other without straining your ears to hear what everyone is trying to say. It was a little hard to find but nothing that different from other places in this part of Scottsdale. The funny part was being at the Walgreens in the same shopping area earlier in the day and not even knowing it was in the same general parking lot for where we booked a reservation for dinner that evening.

Hidden in the court yard of the La Mirada mall located at Pinnacle Peak Road & Pima Road in North Scottsdale is the resturant Pane e' Vino. For almost 20 years they have been serving great italian food. Now after a facelift and newly revised menu it is even better. Stuart and Jill have streamlined the menu and added Happy Hour and Dining room selections that are simply delicious. A must are the Oysters Casino amoung others to many to mention. Pane e' Vino is still our favorite place. Dick & Leona

Went to dinner here based on the good reviews. It's really disappointing that for an Italian restaurant with upscale prices to not even make their own pasta. We had the chicken parm- soggy, super salty blegh! And also a shrimp pasta..also salty salty salty! I didn't know they were catering to goats? Or maybe the clientele here is so over the hill that their taste buds have gone? It was sub par food at best-3 entrees one cocktail, one app, over $100!!! Garlic Olive oil brought out in cheesy metal ketchup containers, old outdated silverware and china, outdated and sad decor. No thanks!!! I would not recommend it at all.

I first visited Pane e Vino on the first date with my wife years back. Being our wedding anniversary I decide to surprise her and bring her here for dinner. The restaurant has been updated. Still romantic and warm. We even sat at the same booth. The restaurant has a great vibe. It was busy yet not overly loud so that we could have a nice conversation rather than yelling. The service staff was professional and knowledgeable . From start to finish we had a great dinner and eventually finished our dinner in the lounge fro cappuccino and dessert. I promised her we will not wait another 10 years to return.

I'm not a fan. My family and I ate here a few months back. The atmosphere is upscale in a nice outdoor mall area. The problem was the simple marinara sauce. It just was goopy with too much paste. My second course was good (veal parmigian). With so many good Italian restaurants in the Scottsdale area, I wouldn't come back here. The other problem was the waiter who cracked a joke every 5 minutes (this means about 12 jokes) that might have been funny in the 50s but it got old trying to enjoy our meal without his running commentary. I literally thought someone should have run around with him for a drum roll every time he opened his mouth.

General overview.... this place is OKAY. I feel like I could get the same food quality for a little cheaper at a different location, but the service is decent and everyone has that overly-friendly Italian personality. GETTING HERE. This is kind of in a random location and my phone had a hard time finding it. This is a good place for dinner if you are interested in grabbing a bite after golfing in the area or if youre staying at a hotel nearby, but when they say its in Scottsdale... its in Scottsdale,but not near anything else. lol WINE. So they do have a great wine list and my favorite thing about ordering wine with dinner... is when the servers know what its best paired with! They do change their wine menu pretty consistently and offer specials on house wines too, so wine is a good choice here. FOOD. I will admit, the Insalata Caprese appetizer was very good and fresh.... and I dont even like basil. I did feel that 14 dollars was a little steep for such a little serving, but hey. thats fine dining for you isnt it? Whatever you do... Try the scallops. The dish was called Spaghetti Alla Roberto. That was by far the best thing I've had here. It comes with shrimp, mushrooms and a wine sauce. The scallops were perfectly tender and just melted in your mouth. I was never the biggest fan of scallops, but I am now. SERVERS. They did drive me a little nuts after the 9th time coming by asking if i wanted another glass of wine when I had clearly stated that I was going to stick with water for the rest of the dinner. I appreciate the service, but if someone says theyre done. I think you should just trust their judgement and not try to upsell. Also, If i say I dont want dessert, please stop trying to push it! I was stuffed beyond belief, I didnt want anything else, the last thing I need is someone trying to force a menu down my throat and saying things like "youre gonna regret it" as he clears our table. Just....stop that. I might be back, but its probably just going to be for appetizers at the bar/lounge area, and only if I'm in the area.

We have enjoyed dinner here many times and this is our first review! The service is spot on even in a usually full restaurant. The food speaks for itself! Delish! Do not miss the Tiramisu! WOW! We had four spoons, one order, just the right amount! Then we all moseyed into the lounge and enjoyed a one man entertainment set that was just what we were looking for! This restaurant is a fantastic find! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Italian food. Veal parmigiana is one of my all time favorite dishes, and theirs is top notch. The desserts are great, they have a good wine selection and phenomenal service. The price is a bit on the higher side, but well worth it.

I went here with a friend for dinner and we had a great time! The food was delicious .I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfect! My friend had the Eggplant Parmigana and I tasted hers and it was so good.We shared a salad which worked out perfectly. The atmosphere was very nice and loved the white tablecloths. The service was excellent and our waiter was so attentive which we liked.

We made reservations for a birthday party and told them we wanted to take advantage of happy hour discounts and asked when was happy hour over. The attendant who took our reservation said 7:00pm and said we would have plenty of time if our reservation was for 6:00pm. We arrived and were seated in the dining room. When our check come we were told we did not get happy hour discounts because we were not seated in the lounge. We said we told the person who took our reservation that we were interested in the discount. The manager said "that could not happen, we would not have made a mistake like that". He was very rude and they stopped waiting on us after we paid the bill in full. We will not go back.

Right next to my house which is just a bonus because I love this place! On their bar menu they have this garlic butter shrimp app that is to die for- I always get bread to soak up the extra sauce! Everything I have had so far has been great! But something that stood out to me was their spaghetti bolognese- nothing something I usually get when I'm at an Italian place because I feel there are so many better options and I can't make it myself at home- but I was with my dad and he likes to keep things simple. I'm so glad he ordered it! It was amazing! I think there is cinnamon in the sauce or something that adds a whole new flavor and I crave it all the time now! It's also the best tiramisu I have ever had! Only thing is I wish they would carry a moscato so I could have some dessert wine with my dessert! I will just have to stick with a glass of champagne I guess! As for service, I haven't had a bad experience! It's usually the same people and I don't see a lot of turnover so the staff really knows their stuff. The owners Gillian and Stuart are usually there and make you feel at home! Whenever people as for good Italian I recommend this place!

We had the most wonderful dinner with the most wonderful service! We started with the Calamari, which was lightly breaded to perfection, split a Cesar salad (yummy dressing). For main courses, I had the Spaghetti Alla Roberto.... shrimp & scallop pasta,,, to die for! And my husband had the Penne Alla Javis, that he says was amazing! Doug, our server, was top notch, so pleasant, making wonderful recommendations for wine and dessert,, we had to go with the spumoni (a fave of mine) which was the perfect end to a delicious meal! If we lived here, we'd be going here on a regular basis! Thanks for making us feel so special tonight!

Exquisite spaghetti carbonara and attentive service. Good happy hour and live entertainment. The dining room is a bit on the dark side however it gives it a cozy atmosphere. The only thing I did not care for was paying 10.95 for a caesar salad...I really thought that was a bit on the high side. On a high note, Stuart is one of the most charming, warm and attentive hosts I know. Pane e Vino is lucky to have him as a GM.

A good friend of mine recommended this place. He said it was one of the best restaurants he's been to....since he's never steered me wrong, we decided to make the drive up to Pinnacle Peak to give it a try. I'm glad we did... It was mid-week and when we arrived, it was very slow. We were seated in the dining room and there were only 2 other tables there. We were beginning to wonder if we had the right place. After browsing the menu, we decided to order: Caprese (Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Appetizer) $10.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Carpaccio di Manzo (Arugula, Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, Balsamic Vingarette) $11.95 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Gnocchi Ponte Vecchio (Potato Dumplings, Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce) $15.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Ravioli di Zucca (Butternut Squash Ravioli, Walnut Gorgonzola Cream Sauce) $17.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… And for dessert.... Tiramisu yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… The Gnocchi was amazing and the Carpaccio was awesome. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was perfectly flavored and the sweet taste of the Squash went well with the sharp taste of the Gorgonzola Cream Sauce. Overall, it was a great meal. What a hidden gem! I hope they get more business so they don't close down. Return Factor - 100%

We've come here a few times over the past several years and have found the food to be very good and the wait staff equally attentive. Owner tends to hover, so you know there is a watchful eye in the house. As others have mentioned, the burnt cream as I call Creme Brulee is great! We've enjoyed most items on the menu, but really enjoyed their Chicken dishes. I myself really enjoy the carpaccio (raw beef) which was very tasty and fresh. And, prices tend to be on the very high side, given the near Troon location Enjoy!

When I lived in Scottsdale this was one of my favorite restaurants Stewart the Manager / Owner is a great guy and always recognized us and took care of us. I like the booths and highly recommend the Chopino or the Oxtail. The escargot is also fantastic as well. The bread comes out with hot garlic oil - yum.

Jay L.
The food is very good. Nice selection. Quickly prepared. The servers are very attentive as is the host. However, server and host can be over the top with their friendlieness and trying to engage in conversations with you. Servers tend to "not know" the price of the specials and push too hard to get you to order extras, e.g., drinks, desserts, appetizers, salads. We have had two bad surprises when getting the check as things cost much more than we were led to believe. The attitude in the restaurant is first class luxury and if you are worried about the cost, then maybe this is not the place to go. Nice to see all the customers dressing up to go out for dinner. Comfortable atmosphere,

Relaxing environment with great food. I had a high quality saltimboca with a barbera. My boyfriend had stuffed chicken. Nothing too a avante garde, but very good classics. The ambiance was relaxing, service was prompt, and pricing was fair for the experience. This place is near troon and clearly caters to an older crowd, but good food is appealing to everyone. I will be back.

We found out about this place because we bought a restaurant.com gift certificate, but I also read about the creme brulee with the layer of chocolate on the bottom, which intrigued me. My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday tonight, and we had the arugala salad, shrimp scampi, prima vera rissotto, veal tortilini, tiramisu, and the creme brulee. They were all wonderful! But I'm a dessert person so I definitely give the tiramisu and creme brulee two thumbs up! I have to say though, that what gives this cozy gem of a restaurant a solid five stars, is the owner. He was one of the most kind, generous, and passionate restaurant owners I've ever encountered. He was the one who sat us at our booth, opened my napkin for me, offered to take our picture, and the most astonishing and surprising thing of all... was at the end of the night; I had forgotten my credit card at home, so my boyfriend was going to go home (30 minutes away), while I waited there. I was absolutely embarrassed that we had no way to pay, and when my boyfriend was explaining the situation, the owner said absolutely NOT and that we could call him with our card number once we got home or the next day. He asked for no collateral and was very very kind about the whole situation. I have not seen that kind of trusting demeanor in such a long time, and it made me HAVE to write my very first review on yelp because of this. Our server was quite attentive and kind also, but the owner definitely understands the value of a customer's happiness, which can be lost in an economy like this. I am very happy with Pane e Vino, and I'm sure that all of you fellow yelpers will have a lovely experience there as well. The food is above average, and the service is outstanding.

My mouth is still watering thinking about this wonderfully delicious place! MMMMMM..... I was invited to go to Pane E Vino with a friend who received a gift certificate, and plan on returning many, many times! =) I order Chicken Marsala, which was by far the best Marsala I have experienced, EVER, and its my favorite Italian dish! The Chicken was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of sauce and mushrooms! My friend ordered the Tortellini Alla Panna (viel tortellini) which at first did not sound appetizing to me, I am just not a huge fan of veil. After tasting a bite however, I was ready to push my Chicken Marsala aside! My favorite dish was second to something new! I can not wait to return to this enchanted place to try something else out of my norm! I work right down the street, and have never heard of this hidden gem! Such a cute, quaint, romantic little place! Big Bonus: Customer service was great, and the owner was there hosting himself! I love owner operated businesses.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

The Creme Brûlée has a layer of chocolate on the bottom which I would consider the best I've ever had (and this is something my wife gets every time she goes to a restaurant). I'll probably edit this to 5 stars when I try their entrées since everything else has been so good!

So they do have a great wine list and my favorite thing about ordering wine with dinner... is when the servers know what its best paired with! They do change their wine menu pretty consistently and offer specials on house wines too, so wine is a good choice here. FOOD. I will admit, the Insalata Caprese appetizer was very good and fresh.... and I dont even like basil. I did feel that 14 dollars was a little steep for such a little serving, but hey. thats fine dining for you isnt it? Whatever you do... Try the scallops. The dish was called Spaghetti Alla Roberto. That was by far the best thing I've had here. It comes with shrimp, mushrooms and a wine sauce. The scallops were perfectly tender and just melted in your mouth. I was never the biggest fan of scallops, but I am now. SERVERS. They did drive me a little nuts after the 9th time coming by asking if i wanted another glass of wine when I had clearly stated that I was going to stick with water for the rest of the dinner. I appreciate the service, but if someone says theyre done. I think you should just trust their judgement and not try to upsell. Also, If i say I dont want dessert, please stop trying to push it! I was stuffed beyond belief, I didnt want anything else, the last thing I need is someone trying to force a menu down my throat and saying things like "youre gonna regret it" as he clears our table. Just....stop that. I might be back, but its probably just going to be for appetizers at the bar/lounge area, and only if I'm in the area.

We have enjoyed dinner here many times and this is our first review! The service is spot on even in a usually full restaurant. The food speaks for itself! Delish! Do not miss the Tiramisu! WOW! We had four spoons, one order, just the right amount! Then we all moseyed into the lounge and enjoyed a one man entertainment set that was just what we were looking for! This restaurant is a fantastic find! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Italian food. Veal parmigiana is one of my all time favorite dishes, and theirs is top notch. The desserts are great, they have a good wine selection and phenomenal service. The price is a bit on the higher side, but well worth it.

I went here with a friend for dinner and we had a great time! The food was delicious .I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfect! My friend had the Eggplant Parmigana and I tasted hers and it was so good.We shared a salad which worked out perfectly. The atmosphere was very nice and loved the white tablecloths. The service was excellent and our waiter was so attentive which we liked.

Delicious fish tacos on Sunday, and let's not forget the bar side music of Roger Enrico. This is our second time here and the food and atmosphere is perfect.

We made reservations for a birthday party and told them we wanted to take advantage of happy hour discounts and asked when was happy hour over. The attendant who took our reservation said 7:00pm and said we would have plenty of time if our reservation was for 6:00pm. We arrived and were seated in the dining room. When our check come we were told we did not get happy hour discounts because we were not seated in the lounge. We said we told the person who took our reservation that we were interested in the discount. The manager said "that could not happen, we would not have made a mistake like that". He was very rude and they stopped waiting on us after we paid the bill in full. We will not go back.

Right next to my house which is just a bonus because I love this place! On their bar menu they have this garlic butter shrimp app that is to die for- I always get bread to soak up the extra sauce! Everything I have had so far has been great! But something that stood out to me was their spaghetti bolognese- nothing something I usually get when I'm at an Italian place because I feel there are so many better options and I can't make it myself at home- but I was with my dad and he likes to keep things simple. I'm so glad he ordered it! It was amazing! I think there is cinnamon in the sauce or something that adds a whole new flavor and I crave it all the time now! It's also the best tiramisu I have ever had! Only thing is I wish they would carry a moscato so I could have some dessert wine with my dessert! I will just have to stick with a glass of champagne I guess! As for service, I haven't had a bad experience! It's usually the same people and I don't see a lot of turnover so the staff really knows their stuff. The owners Gillian and Stuart are usually there and make you feel at home! Whenever people as for good Italian I recommend this place!

We had the most wonderful dinner with the most wonderful service! We started with the Calamari, which was lightly breaded to perfection, split a Cesar salad (yummy dressing). For main courses, I had the Spaghetti Alla Roberto.... shrimp & scallop pasta,,, to die for! And my husband had the Penne Alla Javis, that he says was amazing! Doug, our server, was top notch, so pleasant, making wonderful recommendations for wine and dessert,, we had to go with the spumoni (a fave of mine) which was the perfect end to a delicious meal! If we lived here, we'd be going here on a regular basis! Thanks for making us feel so special tonight!

This is the best Italian restaurant around here. The service is exceptionally professional and friendly. The restaurant has a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. They make the best Caesar salad!

Exquisite spaghetti carbonara and attentive service. Good happy hour and live entertainment. The dining room is a bit on the dark side however it gives it a cozy atmosphere. The only thing I did not care for was paying 10.95 for a caesar salad...I really thought that was a bit on the high side. On a high note, Stuart is one of the most charming, warm and attentive hosts I know. Pane e Vino is lucky to have him as a GM.

A good friend of mine recommended this place. He said it was one of the best restaurants he's been to....since he's never steered me wrong, we decided to make the drive up to Pinnacle Peak to give it a try. I'm glad we did... It was mid-week and when we arrived, it was very slow. We were seated in the dining room and there were only 2 other tables there. We were beginning to wonder if we had the right place. After browsing the menu, we decided to order: Caprese (Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Appetizer) $10.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Carpaccio di Manzo (Arugula, Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, Balsamic Vingarette) $11.95 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Gnocchi Ponte Vecchio (Potato Dumplings, Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce) $15.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… Ravioli di Zucca (Butternut Squash Ravioli, Walnut Gorgonzola Cream Sauce) $17.50 yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… And for dessert.... Tiramisu yelp.com/biz_photos/ss3F… The Gnocchi was amazing and the Carpaccio was awesome. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was perfectly flavored and the sweet taste of the Squash went well with the sharp taste of the Gorgonzola Cream Sauce. Overall, it was a great meal. What a hidden gem! I hope they get more business so they don't close down. Return Factor - 100%

We've come here a few times over the past several years and have found the food to be very good and the wait staff equally attentive. Owner tends to hover, so you know there is a watchful eye in the house. As others have mentioned, the burnt cream as I call Creme Brulee is great! We've enjoyed most items on the menu, but really enjoyed their Chicken dishes. I myself really enjoy the carpaccio (raw beef) which was very tasty and fresh. And, prices tend to be on the very high side, given the near Troon location Enjoy!

When I lived in Scottsdale this was one of my favorite restaurants Stewart the Manager / Owner is a great guy and always recognized us and took care of us. I like the booths and highly recommend the Chopino or the Oxtail. The escargot is also fantastic as well. The bread comes out with hot garlic oil - yum.

The food is very good. Nice selection. Quickly prepared. The servers are very attentive as is the host. However, server and host can be over the top with their friendlieness and trying to engage in conversations with you. Servers tend to "not know" the price of the specials and push too hard to get you to order extras, e.g., drinks, desserts, appetizers, salads. We have had two bad surprises when getting the check as things cost much more than we were led to believe. The attitude in the restaurant is first class luxury and if you are worried about the cost, then maybe this is not the place to go. Nice to see all the customers dressing up to go out for dinner. Comfortable atmosphere,

Relaxing environment with great food. I had a high quality saltimboca with a barbera. My boyfriend had stuffed chicken. Nothing too a avante garde, but very good classics. The ambiance was relaxing, service was prompt, and pricing was fair for the experience. This place is near troon and clearly caters to an older crowd, but good food is appealing to everyone. I will be back.

We found out about this place because we bought a restaurant.com gift certificate, but I also read about the creme brulee with the layer of chocolate on the bottom, which intrigued me. My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday tonight, and we had the arugala salad, shrimp scampi, prima vera rissotto, veal tortilini, tiramisu, and the creme brulee. They were all wonderful! But I'm a dessert person so I definitely give the tiramisu and creme brulee two thumbs up! I have to say though, that what gives this cozy gem of a restaurant a solid five stars, is the owner. He was one of the most kind, generous, and passionate restaurant owners I've ever encountered. He was the one who sat us at our booth, opened my napkin for me, offered to take our picture, and the most astonishing and surprising thing of all... was at the end of the night; I had forgotten my credit card at home, so my boyfriend was going to go home (30 minutes away), while I waited there. I was absolutely embarrassed that we had no way to pay, and when my boyfriend was explaining the situation, the owner said absolutely NOT and that we could call him with our card number once we got home or the next day. He asked for no collateral and was very very kind about the whole situation. I have not seen that kind of trusting demeanor in such a long time, and it made me HAVE to write my very first review on yelp because of this. Our server was quite attentive and kind also, but the owner definitely understands the value of a customer's happiness, which can be lost in an economy like this. I am very happy with Pane e Vino, and I'm sure that all of you fellow yelpers will have a lovely experience there as well. The food is above average, and the service is outstanding.

My mouth is still watering thinking about this wonderfully delicious place! MMMMMM..... I was invited to go to Pane E Vino with a friend who received a gift certificate, and plan on returning many, many times! =) I order Chicken Marsala, which was by far the best Marsala I have experienced, EVER, and its my favorite Italian dish! The Chicken was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of sauce and mushrooms! My friend ordered the Tortellini Alla Panna (viel tortellini) which at first did not sound appetizing to me, I am just not a huge fan of veil. After tasting a bite however, I was ready to push my Chicken Marsala aside! My favorite dish was second to something new! I can not wait to return to this enchanted place to try something else out of my norm! I work right down the street, and have never heard of this hidden gem! Such a cute, quaint, romantic little place! Big Bonus: Customer service was great, and the owner was there hosting himself! I love owner operated businesses.
