This is the northern Italian food restaurant I go to every time I visit San Diego. The food is excellent and the service attentive. It is not the place for a quiet, romantic dinner. The place is loud and when the front for is open (often) it gets "smoky" from the outdoor diners. If you don't mind the noise, you are in for a great meal!
We had dinner at the Osteria Panevino while staying in San Diego. The service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The waitress mentioned a new wine they had just gotten in which wasn't on the list yet. It happened to be my husband's favorite wine. The salmon and beef carpaccio were excellent and the main courses of ravioli with lobster and veal parmigiana were delicious. We enjoyed everything about the dining experience and heartily recommend it.
Our group of 4 had a very nice meal here last Friday night. The service was great and the food definitely above average. We would put it on our list to consider again. Our only two suggestions for the restaurant would be 1) expand your wine list a bit with more variety, and 2) keep up the consistency on all of the food (2 meals were outstanding and the other 2 were pretty good).
Chef made me a special baked pasta not on the menu which was very considerate. Good appetizers and great wine list.
Visiting from the Midwest we wanted both seafood and pasta. Osteria Panevino provided us both. Have anything on the menu for a real old world treatment of fresh seafood supported by an impressive wine list. Attentive and fun servers help assure a memorable evening.
The food was amazing, the ambience was great and the service was phenomenal. We had a group of 8 which can be pretty stressful for some but our waiter handled it very well and helped us make decision for our meals which were awesome. I'll definitely be back and I cannot stop recommending this place to all of my friends and family
Food was overpriced. $15 for an omelette? Service was very good. Guys were helpful and friendly. I'd recommend it, but maybe try other food items.
We went to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday and the hostess and entire staff were amazing. Surpassed our expectations and would definitely recommend. Great service and great food at a reasonable price. A+.
We ate on the small but nice outdoor patio for dinner during San Diego Restaurant Week. Ate a three-course meal which was quite nice. My only issue was that we were not offered the Restaurant Week special menu ... we had to ask for it (i.e. we had to know it was available).
