Pane E Vino was the perfect place to have a family gathering the day after Christmas. Autumn was our lead server and she handled all our requests with diligence and a smile. The appetizers, main courses, drinks, and desserts were very much enjoyed tonight. The whole staff was great refilling water and checking in at just the right moments. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Overall very good . A few details .Blood orange Cosmo in the bar was sour. I think proportions were off. Bartender was very upbeat and pleasant. Overall meal was very good but one guest thought the Carbonara was fine but not the best. Barrata was excellent. Pizzetta was very good but too large for an appetizer. I would note that on the menu. One guest enjoyed the feast of the seven fishes. Veal tenderloin was a probably medium as requested. I should have ordered medium rare. Pork chop was very good . Our waitress Gabrielle was excellent , personable and just the right approach for a Christmas Eve celebration.
