Panevino comes from the Italian words “pane e vino”, bread and wine, the essentials of life. Our working herb garden, rustic décor, wood-burning pizza oven, and a beautiful outdoor patio are just part of what makes Panevino a special place to eat. Caputo flour imported from Italy, San Marzano tomatoes, handmade fior di latte mozzarella, and water from a local spring just like the ones in Italy's Campania region make our pizza as authentic and delicious as the pies found in Naples. Our Livingston restaurant also offers savory pastas (and gluten free pasta!), fresh seafood, delicious salads, sensational antipasti and pizza delivery. Our two outdoor bocce ball courts are also a great way to have fun in the sun! Serving the area for 30 years, we are proud to be known as one of the best Italian restaurants in NJ.

Staff very friendly. Food was delicious. My only complaint is that we were not finished with our appetizers when our main courses were delivered to our table. There needs to be some time between courses especially on a week night as the restaurant was not full.

It's a good place to meet friends for a quick drink and decent grub specially on a Monday when most restaurants are closed. Food was healthy and quality but I was not too thrilled with the restaurant week selections. It did not have too many protein choices. Very carb heavy. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Ambience was casual and warm.

Always a great meal and the quality of the fish is excellent as are the Oysters. They are served with what I can only call an iced mignonette that is such a unique but flavorful addition to the well chilled oysters.
