Love It! After reading so many mediocre reviews I felt compelled to add my positive comments. Pane e Vino has become my husband and my favorite restaurant over the past fews years as well as our adult daughter and husband and their friends. For us it is conveniently located, very pleasant and comfortable inside as well as a very friendly and attentive wait staff. The owner or manager, I'm not sure which she is, is ALWAYS very gracious coming around, saying hello, and asking how our dinner is. I have a favorite on the menu, a smoked mozarella with eggplant and fusilli that I absolutely love and cannot get anywhere else. They also have jazz night and martini night as well as cooking classes and wine tasting. In any dining experience there is always the chance of some sort of negative experience brought on by a particularly busy night or other diners, but do not let those reviews dissuade you from trying this excellent restaurant.

I am writing in response to the negative comment "Avoid at all costs". I was a witness to the incident on the night of July 11, and I believe that it was a terrible misunderstanding. I think that Pane E Vino is a wonderful Italian restaurant full of attentive, friendly wait staff. I find it hard to believe that someone was out to "Deliberately" ruin another guests night. I believe that both parties were enjoying there night with fine wine, food, and friends. If such an incident "Deliberately" happened I would hope that it could be handled in a more rational manner than slandering a very fine restaurant.

The horrible management at Pane e Vino turns what could be a quaint, Italian dining restaurant into a regrettable experience. My finance and I regularly seek out Italian restaurants and could fairly compare the pros and cons of many casual-dining to fine-dining Italian restaurants, so it's fair to say we have an expertise in this area. We were ignored by a woman speaking on the phone when we first walked in, then seated at a table on a patio on the "quiet" side which turned out to be anything but quiet. We then asked to be moved inside away from the noise (caused by the same woman that ignored us in the beginning), then the noise deliberately followed us inside!! We asked the woman to please quiet down, then she boldly informed that she is the owner and would not quiet down in her own restaurant. Not to mention the menu lacked variety, our server would disappear for 15 minute intervals, and the soup was average at best. This was our worst experience yet and we will not be returning!
