There were 16 of us celebrating family gathering.
We loved the atmosphere and food was just fabulous! The restaurant was packed and yes it was noisy but just because people were having fun and enjoying themselves.
The staff was great as well! They played Italian songs for us and even danced with us!
Thank you, you made us feel a little bit Italian too! ;)
A little Italy in NZ. Very authentic food. Great staff. Very special. Best pizza in the southern hemisphere. ��
I keep returning and for good reason. Great food. Fabulous staff. Reminds me of all the times I spent in Italy. Bellissimo xx
As always a fun night, great food, great staff..bellisimo!!!!
Food was amazing and the staff were friendly very happy
Great atmosphere, food & BYO.. can't go wrong. Grazie!
so reasonably priced and the food and staff were absolutely amazing. Thanks so much! Will definitely be back here soon!
Great food and great service! I would definately go back.
The food is great and so is the service. Can't wait to go back for more.

Pane e Vino takes me back to Italy with it’s traditional flavours, old school vibe, and the “Ciao Bella” on arrival. The quaint vibe makes it perfect for a date night.

My all time favourite restaurant! Will continue to keep going back for their carbonara ❤️
Amazing experience every time! Authentic food, lovely dinning area and the staff make the experience even better! Such warm, welcoming people!
You guys have nailed it when it comes to a great dinning experience.
Will continue to come here and introduce this place to my friends. Thank you Pane & Vino!
Found this gem by accident! Good pizza🍕 , but I understand that gnocchi is a very hard dish, I would have enjoyed even more if the proportion was bigger, more ingredients in the sauce, and cooked longer for a even more spongy texture. There are very few places that gets gnocchi right. Otherwise the pizza was great and I would definitely return and try out the other pasta.
The BEST pizza in town! Seriously! Every variety I’ve tried has been absolutely drool worthy. I love the outdoor dining, both upstairs and even on the footpath. The fact you can BYO is also amazing
This place is perfect for both summer and winter dining. And did I mention their pizza is the BEST!
I love the Italian hospitality here too. Wish I lived closer so I could visit more often!
Highly, highly recommend !
I must say I wasn't sure what to expect given the mix of reviews for Pane e Vino but wow, I was pleasantly surprised. Service was great, food was delicious and it was very affordable. I would definitely recommend.
Best spaghetti cabonara I’ve tasted to date in Auckland. Also had the calamari (which was delish), lots of red wine and finished the night with a limoncello. Great service, Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
First came here with a friend in 2012, enjoyed the bruschetta and pizzas so yummy. If you’re looking for a true Italian styles, this is the place to be.
Delicious Italian!!! The pasta is so fresh and tasty. The ravioli is a favourite. Quirky little place that is great for a BYO but if you’re not looking to have a loud one ask to sit outside as it does get hectic. The meals are quite small so get a pizza bread or another starter to be safe.
I’ve been here numerous times for dinner with friends. Staff always have gone above and beyond and my goodness - the food is sensational. I’m really confused about the bad reviews. Personally I’ve only had wonderful experiences here and I literally find myself daydreaming about the food from time to time.
Come here for lunch every so often and usually leave quite satisfied. Lunch prices are reasonable and portion sizes are good. Have never been here for dinner which could be the cause of the negative reviews.
Went here for a birthday party with a big group. We pretty much took over half the shop. We were looked after very well considering most of us were well on the way to being drunk. The food was delicious, good portion size and the staff were very patient and accommodating. Also loved the Italian accent and mannerisms, that topped off the whole experience. Thanks so much team! Looking forward to the next visit, till then onwards and upwards.
My partner and I came along for dinner and were both highly impressed with the quality of the food. We shared a pizza and a pasta and both were superb. Pizza was fresh, not too heavy and not lost under a pile of too many toppings. The pasta was perfectly cooked and highly flavoursome. Excellent service and the meals came out in a timely manner. Tables for two are very close to neighbouring diners so private conversation isn’t really possible (we were treated to someone’s insurance broker meeting for the duration of our meal) however they are limited on space in the front dining room so this is to be expected. The dining room was also a bit chilly so I left my jacket on. Overall we would definitely come back for the great food!
Cute resturant. Authentic Italian great atmosphere. The menu is extensive and very well priced. Beauitful brucetta gorgeous pasta. Recommend for an intimate dinner or a small group.
Delicious food and great service, but ravioli serving size is small (should be at least 1.5 x bigger) - especially compared be to the calzones which can nearly feed two. This is probably the only place where I would order an entree, main and dessert if ordering pasta.

Have been here a couple of times for lunch, and have always had a good experience here.
The second visit I had a Pugliese pizza and a Ravioli ai funghi fresh pasta. (See photos)
Food 4/5
Both visits I really enjoyed the pastas! I think the pastas are much better than the pizzas. The sauces are really rich and creamy which I thoroughly enjoyed. The ravioli was really nice! The pugliese pizza I had on my second visit was okay- not that nice though. It wasn't loaded with toppings and was a bit dry too. But as I had it off the lunch menu which the price is much cheaper than the dinner menu, I wasn't too bothered with it. But if I got the same pizza for the full price off the dinner menu, I would have probably been very disappointed.
Service 5/5
The wait staff were always very friendly. On my last visit my friend and I had trouble deciding on what to eat, and the waitress was very friendly and was keen to help us out.
Ambience 4/5
The tables inside seemed like it would be a good place to have dinner!
I would probably be back for lunch because of the good price and good pastas!

At a suggestion me and a gaggle of friends decided to go for a BYO equaling an excursion to Pane & Vino. Overall food, service and ambiance were fair. While no complaints (aside from a dodgy looking fork) the food was good but could have had more guts and flavour. The canneloni con pollo, needed a stronger cheese or seasoning and the veal came with a side salad (I found odd) but the bread was nice. The polenta starter which I picked at won as it had a blue cheese with it. We all enjoyed but could have had a bit more flavour to the dishes - food envy of my mate who chose the vegetarian ravioli though which she enjoyed. Staff were friendly, even with two large groups in and while not "rustic" was homely & warm, especially as it was freezing outside. Would go again, even if for a BYO it's probably on the pricier side - but reasonable corkage (and read menu before choosing your BYO wine!)
Good food and good service. I had the vegetarian linguine and hubby had the vegetarian ravioli.... Hubby thought the ravioli was too cheesy and I thought the linguine had too much tomato sauce so we swapped and all was well.
Place was packed and very popular. Not good for first dates though - can't really hear over all the noise. But in all honesty, the food makes up for it.
Excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom linguine and bruschetta. Lovely atmosphere and the cost is reasonable + worth every cent!

This hidden byo gem is tucked behind the bustling streets of Ponsonby. Well known for being the spot for weekend group gatherings, feasting on their Italian offerings and that bottle of vino you hadn't touched since the last wine and cheese night at the flat.
The restaurant is cosy, and how couldn't it be. Of what looks like an old ponsonby home now a house to locals in search of Italian comfort food.
With a bottle in hand ready for good vibes and food we came in on a quiet Monday. As the weekend crowd was absent we were able to converse in peace.
Not wanting to order the usual linguini pasta or margarita pizza I'm guilty of devouring when placed in Italian restaurants, I thought the ripieno would be a beautiful challenge for the rumbling stomach of mine.
Service was friendly and Italian in its manner. My folded over pizza made the table jealous and made me proud for having the best dish on the table.
I've had the fair share of Italian restaurants and pane e vino is definitely on the higher end of my favourites.
Great ambience and authentic italian food. However, portion size was a bit small and didn't feel worth the price. The tiramisu is a must have....absolutely delicious!
We were lucky enough to find a parking right outside this cute little restaurant on a rainy, windy night and had great company for dinner. Between the 7 of us we ordered the antipasto topica (selected cured meats), w. a selection of breads and my husband and I ordered the Linguine alla Genovese (chicken in pesto creamy sauce on linguine) and the linguine alla campagnola (chicken in a creamy tomato sauce on linguine). With a Peroni and coke.
Both dishes were hot and tasty. Staff nice and friendly and service speedy.
We had our wedding lunch here and I have to say, the food, the service, the atmosphere...EVERYTHING, was just AMAZING...we wanted something that wasn't too formal and this was it, we were able to BYO enough wine for everyone which really reduced the cost and everybody raved non-stop about how great the food was, will forever love this place :-)
No matter how busy these guys are the sevice is always fantastic. Not to mention the food! Same high quality every time, most delicious eye fillet. Menu is quite large, this simply means you can go many times and never have the same thing and still be impressed! Highly recommend this place for dine in or taking a pizza home! It's a great experience!
We came here as a big party of about 20 people. They set us up down the back of the restaurant with a small outdoor area. They were very accommodating to a very large and rowdy group.
This place is BYO which makes the perfect venue before hitting the town. We had a shared birthday cake and brought a cake with us. The staff sung us happy birthday in Italian which was a nice surprise.
The menu is very large so it takes a bit of time to decide what we wanted. Most people went for the pizzas and I got the snapper with anchovies. This place is very authentic and I would love to come back to try the pastas
Yummy Snapper ! BYO and an awesome happy vibe on Friday and saturday nights with all the BYO party goers. The Tiramisu is a nice one too! Limoncello is great. No red wine glasses only normally glasses are used. Portion size of the fish is on the smaller size but very nice!
A quaint restaurant down to the very core. Came here with a tonne of people for a work do. They put us in the back room which fot everyone in nicely. The food was fantastic. I had the pizza and it was pretty close to the ones I had in Napoli. The waiters were Italian and were crackup. Typical Italian hospitality. Big grandiose arms movements and a vocal speed that would shame a commentator at the races. they even brought in a cake for my italian friend's birthday. The manager on duty probably went over the line though. He was in good spirits during service but afterwards he was extremely shitty and was rude to a fair few people.
A real Italian Trattoria in the heart of Ponsonby.. superb! No need to travel to Italy now for the real deal :-) Italian guys in the kitchen (not arguing but that would've added more flavour) and artefacts on the walls give it that authentic feel. The lunch menu was extensive, and everything that was served came out quickly and looked good. My gnocchi tasted great. One of the fellow diners had to send her risotto balls back but they were quickly refreshed and came back even better. Plenty of space for big groups, this is a bit out of the way, but lots of charm for even the most jaded of amateur diners...
Good pizza. Great wine. Cracks me up that the specials board was items taken from the menu at the same price or more. The location makes this place.
I get it .. is a trattoria a informal place where people go to eat service is casua etc. But if the place is owned by Italian you expect the flavours and the recipes represent the good of the Italian cuisine. The service is authentic Italian style they were attentive 😊👍 My feedback comes to my experience with the food. Lasagna : The Garlic covered all the flavours of my dish.. 😕 as well for the pasta that my partner ate ( carbonara ) 😒 Very oily and my lasagna very saggy. We expected a balance experience between food and service but wasn't 😞 Sometimes popular restaurants start losing the interest for quality when achieving popularity I hope this is not the case as I really think Italian Food should be good coming from a Italian. ( NoT a rule) Anyway is a family friendly place and there are good space for big group's and for baby trolleys in case you want to go with your little one. Ciao!
I went to this restaurant a year ago, I ordered a meat platter and two pizza's it was really quiet good. I liked how i could put my own Balsamic vinegar and Olive oil on the pizza myself. Almost everything I saw other customers ordered going by looked good, they are more of a family style restaurant with slightly quirky decorations, from their decor it was clear that they appear to attempt to try cater to a variety of people with different specials available on different days. Staff all seemed nice. The only down side is it can at times be slightly difficult to find a car park.
Yeah ok going out for dinner lunch whatever its about the food. Ok. But in today's ways its gotta be like a sold out show of cirq de sole (mind my spelling). Pane & vino has it all your welcomed and treated like family maybe this is why there are so many regulars coming back. If it ain't broke as they say.
Great food filling and consistent
I'm always surprised when people say they've never been here. Almost every time I've been here the place has been jam packed. To the food... I've eaten here at least a dozen times and not once have I had a problem. The staff are always good and knowledgeable, have no problems getting things right and the food is always delicious. I've brought a table of twenty here and everything was impeccable. Tito the owner is always charming and happy to go the extra mile to make the customer happy. To me this place is what eating at a restaurant is about, great food, good service and a welcoming friendly atmosphere. I couldn't recommend this place enough.
I feel Pane & Vino should be rated higher than it is. To me, the meals here are authentic italian. The gnocci, the breads, the deli style platters, it's all good. The sicilian ice cream cake was a great finish to the meal. Be sure to book, this place is busy and you'll work out why. Lovely waiters who are clearly passionate about the food they serve.
Great spot with delicious food and fantastic service. Try the deep fried lamb rack in mushroom sauce - it's fabulous!!!! Highly recommended
My friends and I recently had a BYO at this restaurant. The staff were friendly, there was a separate area for us and the food was absolutely divine. Really good value for money and a nice atmosphere.
A gem of an Italian restaurant!
Run by real Italians, the experience is authentic, and so is their food.
I went for a friend's farewell, and bevause we were a larger table, had to order off the set menu. It's good value for money, as the set menu was only $35 and they have a BYO policy too.
We got three little pizza breads as a pre-starter to share between the table. I ordered the antipasto tipico as my starter, and lasagne as my main, both of which I was very impressed with.
My starter was a fresh mozzarella, Parma ham and rocket salad. My main was superb, and a large serving.
We'll definitely be back, and are keen to try the options from the Normal menu.
Got takeaways from here, and although they were a little cold once we got home (our fault completely) the food was undoubtadbly delicious.
We had the bruschetta with fresh tomato, basil and mozarella which was tasty, fresh and made with quality ingredients (and on homemade bread). We also got the arancini balls, which although they didn't have a huge amount of flavour, they were so deliciously cheesy and crisp that I would definitely get them again.
Lastly, we ordered their Italiana pizza, which came with mozarella, tomato but no sauce on the base (again, my mistake in reading the menu). The pizza base was perfect, thin but not too crispy, just like we enjoyed in Italy! Next time I'll try one of their tomato based pizzas, or a couple of pasta dishes.
I would totally recommend eating in as opposed to getting this takeaway, the interior looks stunning and authentic, perfect for a romantic date night! We'll definitely be going back.
#challenge
Amazing! Amazing food. Amazing service. Love coming here it's becoming a weekly occurrence, could have a higher recommendation for a restaurant. Byo as well!! Handy being right next door to glengarry, best wine selection!
Love Pane & Vino! My favorite Italian. I have been here multiple times and always get great service, the food is good and good portion sizes. Always leave feeling full and satisfied. Would highly recommend to anyone, however if you are after a quiet meal, this is probably not the place for you. Lots of loud Italians......but if like me, it doesn't bother you then head along.
Been here for my birthday, and my first "authentic" italian restaurant. I must say that they impressed me on the food that they served. The portions were just enough, and the pizza was amazing! I have never looked at other pizzas the same after eating their pizza! Tiramisu was the best that I've ever tasted and the staff were all accomodating and friendly! We will definitely go back here! Bellisimo!
Had a work dinner at Pane & Vino with about 20+ of us. They accommodated us well and we were seated in a separate part of the restaurant away from the main dining area.
Because we were a big group we had a set menu. The entree was my favourite dish of the night - the prawns were beautifully cooked and full of flavour! The main was also good - I had the eye fillet, which came with salad and the meat - no potato but there was bread to eat with it. The tiramisu was great to finish the meal - not too sweet and the coffee not excessively strong!
The waiters we had were great and entertaining and interacted with us all well. The atmosphere of the restaurant suited the number of us that we're dining there.
Overall it was a great night, with great people and great food.
Real italian restaurant in Auckland
Good and friendly service, amazing food...
Very busy during the weekend, you can find more relax during the week...highly reccommended !!!
I first discovered this wee gem with a group of friends and have been coming here regularly since.
I have ordered a variety of items from the menu, however I keep coming back to the Ravioli Verdi. This is the best pasta dish I have experienced since being in Auckland.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
Went here for a byo and highly recommend it! We sat outside and it was a little cold, there are heaters though but only at one end. I ordered the spinach & potato gnocchi which was delicious and the chicken ravioli was good too! Would go back again!
Our group of 6 visited Pane & Vino tonight for a birthday celebration. After reading the reviews I was fairly sceptical, but we were quite suprised! It was fantastic to go to a genuine (in my opinion) Italian eatery.
I ordered the tomato, basil and buffalo mozzarella bruschetta. Three pieces came out and each were very generously topped with huge slices of mozzarella and fresh tomatoes.
I also ordered the Ravioli Verdi. The pasta was fresh and stuffed full of ricotta, spinach and lemon. There was quite a bit of lemon which made the pasta quite sweet but very nice.
It was quite a pricey meal, with corkage being $8 a bottle. However, the meal was a great experience and I'm sure we'll be back to sample the pizza!
A warm and cosy authentic Italian restaurant; Pane & Vino.
My favourite dish is their Linguine ai frutti di mare
(With squid, mussels, prawns, garlic rosemary and parsley in a white wine sauce)
Food: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Price: 4/5
www.foodculturenz.wordpress.com
Great place, its noisy and cramped but the food is as good as anywhere I have had it in Italy!
I really enjoy the place and every time I go am transported back in time to when I visited Italia!
The Gnocchi is TO DIE FOR, made fresh on site and like I said before as good as anywhere I have had it in Italy.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED / - BYO TOO!
Always have so much fun here! Make sure to ask to be seated inside to make the most of the atmosphere. Have had amazing food the four times I have eaten there. Can get quite expensive -double check the bill.
Went along with a small group-we asked the waiter for his selection of some beautiful antipasto starters-fantastic!! For a main dish I got the whole stuffed squid-cooked extremely well, the squid was tender with a beautiful tomato sauce. We didn't realise it was BYO but asked the waiter for his recommendation for the wine-he nailed it on his suggestion. For me this is a GREAT tasting restaurant that is completely underestimated. If you want authentic, rustic Italian with some real character then Pane & Vino is your place. My only regret is not getting the waiters name to mention him. I will be bringing friends back in numbers!! ARRIVEDERCI!!!!
I've been to Pane & Vino numerous times and have always had a great experience. I went there for a friends birthday and all the waiters even came out and sang happy birthday! The food is really good, nothing flash and well priced.
It's noisy and it's fun... The food is flavourful and authentic. Tito's hospitality is second to none. Pane e Vino is perfect for groups. Love it!
Don't understand some of these terrible reviews. The bruschetta we ordered was a little burnt, but it was fine so we didn't complain. However, I'm sure if we did, the lovely Italian waiters would have obliged and provided us with new ones! The pizza was spectacular, and I know my pizza! Perfect. Even my boyfriend who considers himself a pizza connoisseur was impressed.
Dining with a meal voucher ($20 for $40 worth of food) felt like we were almost stealing as the prices were so reasonable to begin with and the food and service so good!
Will definitely be back. Good stuff Pane e Vino, especially honoring a Grabone voucher with pride and treating us exactly the same as everyone else. Thoroughly impressed.
Awesome experience! I love this place. It is no fine dining, but good fun and great pizza! Very chilled out and great customer service! Good idea for a big group BYO dinner as it can get very noisy (though I guess it depends on the night)
We started with an anti-pasto platter to share, which was fresh and gorgeous. Then the 2 boys had a starter. These were tasty and just right sized. The mains were DIVINE... I had the mushroom ravioli... YUM and the other mains looked and tasted just as good as mine! Dessert was also a must!
And to finish it off the Limoncello of course!
The price is excellent as is Tito who was very friendly whilst maintaining his efficiency (as were all the staff). My top bit of advice (apart from "Go Here For Dinner") is to take your own wine as they don't have a great selection and the wine shop next door is over-priced!
All in all... we will most definately be back!
Absolutely delicious!
Genuine Italian cooking with friendly staff!
Reasonably priced too.
Highly recommended :)

Tasty, authentic Italian
Rated 4 stars but deserves 4.5 if not 5.
We have dined here at least half a dozen times and enjoyed takeaway on a number of other occasions.
Particularly enjoy their pasta. Bruschetta and deepfried entrees (potato croquette and aborio rice balls) yumm. Also, of course, pizza. Have only sampled mains in passing.
However keep coming back for the pasta. They will make to suit your taste; e.g I love their take on my fav chicken, feta, chorizo/bacon, capsicum, onion white sauce fettuccine or penne (with extra parmesan of course). Partner very fond of their gnoochi.
Best thing is the appropriate, authentic sauces. No over-creamed, gluggy stuff here; just the real deal.
Clearly from reviews below some have a problem with the sensible portion sizes. In our book taste (quality) beats quantity any day. And frequently after only sharing a starter we find ourselves enjoying our leftover individual pastas for next day lunch; so can't be that small!
Credentials: In previous lives we've both worked at (and appreciate) top notch eateries and cafes. I've travelled and eaten in Italy and friends from Europe who are very experienced in fine dining have separately sampled and complimented this fine restaurant in the past year.
Went for lunch with my sister visiting from Melbourne on Friday, 29 June. We had a voucher, but did not make a booking. We were welcomed warmly. My sis had the gnocchi which was fab, so was the chicken/pesto linguine. The dessert was divine. Although it was busy we were surprised the service was not lacking and we did not have to wait too long for the food.
This was my 3rd visit, never disappointed. Love the specials on the menu boards, will definitely go again.
Turned up for lunch without booking to use a deal discount. Waiter asked if we had a voucher, collected it from us and read through it. Was worried there would be restrictions on what we could order, but we could have anything, and we ordered the specials of the day. Service was friendly, the pastas were excellent and the portion size was just right (though a heavy eater may be left wanting). Overall a good experience, though full price lunch feels a little pricey at $20.
First thing first, Food was amazing!! The pizza was thin and full of flavour, the pasta the same and. The Waiter was polite and a chilled pro! The Owner was singing in the kitchen and being his out there self possibly rude possibly European or whatever. The point is 5 stars and will tell my friends how much I enjoyed it.
Lavaza coffee was good too! Ciao
Our favourite thing about Pane & Vino is that the pizzas taste just like the ones in Italy. The margarita pizza is a personal favourite - simple but absolutely delicious. The pasta dishes are equally amazing and you can tell you are eating quality pasta. We have been here many times (upwards of 10) and have never had a bad experience yet. Don't expect silver service here, there aren't wine glasses for example; you just use water glasses. However, I think this adds to the relaxed atmosphere of true Italian dining - its about good food, good people and good times. Pure and simple.
Came here with my boyfriend for a pre-Valentines dinner, first impressions- the menu is HUGE. So many dishes to choose from, which is usually a danger sign, as not many restaurants can have that many ingredients and still make fresh, nice food. But we ordered, and were not disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious, and my mushroom ravioli was INSANE. I have been craving it ever since. The restaurant was nice and quiet, it being quite late on a Monday night, and the atmosphere and service were friendly and very Italian. I look forward to my next visit!
This place has the most authentic Italian food that i have tasted since I left Sydney - finally. Don't expect silver service and yes its a bit frantic but for the price and the portion and the taste its second to none. You drink wine out of beaker glasses so not for the pretencious - that's the best part of it.
We booked a large group - 15 adults and 10 kids for the Abuffatta Italiana on Monday night. Booked via website and confirmed via phone the day before. The food was great - basic but authentic and tasty and there was plenty of it. Entrees, pizza, pasta, salad, and desert. The staff were friendly and polite. We had 3 long tables outside and it was great. Highly recommend it for a large groups and great food at a reasonable price.
hey yes they are busy but that is a good sign, no one wants a restaurant that doesnt turn its tables quickly!! Great Buzz easy take away and even though we love to cook italian at home, its great to encourage any italian specialist in Auckland. Carry on.....
GREAT FOOD! Been here about 6 times now and love it. Very reasonably priced and decent food!!!
We have been here about four times and will keep coming back. The place is as authentic as it comes having been to Italy recently it compares well. The prices are reasonable and it is our local. Super family friendly and great Italian food oh yeah and good prices too. Bella!
We ate there on Friday night. The food was Italian as in Italy, as opposed to Italian as in New York, London, Melbourne or Auckland. The service was warm and friendly, and very efficient without being impersonal. The food was sublime, and we are definitely going back.
Pane and Vino is located in the old church on Williamson Avenue. The place is quite small but they also do have an upstairs area. We were able to get a table here without a booking, which was lucky because they packed out later that night.
Their menu covers a wide range of Italian items, particularly pasta and pizza. We grabbed an arancini (same as 6 small risotto balls) to share and they were quite crispy and tasty. We then had the melanzana and ravioli ai funghi as mains. The melanzana was layers of eggplant and cheese in a tomato sauce, reminiscent of lasagne. It was quite nice but there wasn't too much of an eggplant flavour in it. The ravioli was amazing since everything tasted like mushrooms. The pasta had a nice bit and the filling was mushrooms. Quite tasty and really nice.
It was a cosy Italian restaurant with tasty food.
Brilliant little place. Great service and food. We will be back.
Cozy interior but noisy.
The man who looks like the owner is kind and busy staff.
Pasta and pizza are all delicious. I really enjoyed the meal.
Especially, Ragu is the best!
Delicious food, well presented, tasty.
Good selection of beverage.
Great service, friendly staff.
Pane e Vino is prepared to accommodate special diets.
Fresh salads, good quality cheese.
Giorgio, manager, is very polite and ready to assist you.
Clean premises. Clean bathroom.
Our waiter was friendly and eccentric and the food was delicious! The atmosphere was cosy and warm. Had an unfortunate seat that put me eye level with the headlights of all the cars at the intersection but a fantastic experience regardless :-)
This little Italian restaurant is great! Delicious food, super accommodating for allergies, Amy our waitress was fantastic!
Nice food in an amazingly built place. Staff is super friendly. Calamari and Garlic bread made up an awesome starter followed by chicken parmesan pasta. I m not a great fan of pasta but i enjoyed it a lot.
Delicious meal from start to finish. The gnocchi was to die for I haven't gotten it out of my head since and can't wait to go back for more. The sauces were clearly home made and couldn't fault a single bite starter, main or dessert. Our waitress was very nice and attentive despite also looking after a table of 20ish people at the same time
Yummy garlic prawn entree - generous enough to keep 2 of us satisfied! The fish dish with the rocket and balsamic vinaigrette was also yummy! The only down side was the tables were a bit crammed together and it was very noisy, with no soft furnishings to mute the sound, but we will be back for the food 😊
Great venue for a group dinner, but also a quiet night out earler in the week. Tasty meal and good Italian wines.
Absolutely glorious tiramisu and the frutti de mare linguine was divine. All the seafood was cooked well and the pasta was well seasoned with a flavoursome sauce. It’s the second time we’ve been there and we will be back!
Found this place at the beginning of the year when I came with my best friend and have come back 4 times since. Such beautiful food always go for the gnocchi pancetta it is so divine. The host and staff are lovely and always ensure that we have enjoyed our meal. Smaller portions for the pasta but it is so filling! Their bruschetta was the first time I ever enjoyed eating tomato like that.
Will keep coming back!
Celebrated NYE at Pane e Vino. An already awesome, character old fire station has been transformed into an Italian food heaven. We had a calamari to share. It was crunchy on the outside and fresh and yummy in the inside. It was light and non greasy. A must have as starter. Their pasta are so good. Linguini da Marie was sensational with very fresh and deliciously cooked prawns. Spinach Chicken bake paste was out of this world. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back to try out different dishes. Top place!
Amazing atmosphere it really felt like you were transported to italy. Waiters were friendly and attentive. I got the special of handmade pasta which was delicious. Would highly recommend the ravioli on the menu could really taste the truffle flavour. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Got some tiramisu and profiteroles for dessert. Loved the tiramisu! Would definitely come back here again and there is more seating upstairs.
It’s a nice and cozy place. Pasta was really good, pizza was amazing, but huge minus for profiteroles: they were microwaved frozen ones from the supermarket, half with hot filling half with nearly frozen.
