If you don't know Osteria Panevino yet you really are missing out! Best Italian food in San Diego hands down. Had dinner last night and once again this place can surprise me. I had the pasta alle Vongole, and my friend had the Ossobuco Milanese. Both outstanding, the pasta was perfection, cooked al dente and the Ossobuco! Boy oh boy the meat would just fall out from the bone sooo tender! For dessert the Limoncello cake is a must. They have a great wine menu and a full bar, so after the bottle of Amarone for dinner, we had co... read more

this place keeps me coming back for more.. I came here a long time ago with some friends, and I was impressed by the amazing food, and the superb service.. This time we decided to come dinner, I tried their house made spinach ravioli "to die for" and my companion had the house specialty, the Ossobuco Milanese, I am not a meat eater, but the veal was so tender and moist it melted in your mouth.. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, our server brought us a complimentary house made tiramisu..it was so delicious..and a ... read more

Great restaurant overall! Food was fantastic! I don't usually eat in downtown but a friend of mine recommended this place and said it was the best Italian restaurant and I definitely agree. The service was over the top! Extremely friendly, kind, and funny. I will be coming back, very soon!

I have been to Panevino several times. I love the gnocchis and they have a respectable wine list, specially italians. The service is friendly and quick, and the food is of very good quality with original dishes. I reccommend the pasta carbonara and the melanzzane. THey have an Amarone Valpolicella "eccesionale". But (there is always a but) what I didn´t like is that they charge you and 18% tip (we were a party of 3), even over the tax, no matter how satisfied or not you are wiht the service. Good restaurants do not make this... read more

I recently had a business meal at Osteria Panevino. Although the meal and service were above average, the noise level made it difficult to discuss business. I would definitely return for a social dining event since the food and service were top notch. The waiter was quite passionate about his job and left no detail to chance.
