We had the most wonderful dinner last Sat evening sitting outside at Osteria Panevino. I had not seen my friend for 30 years and he and his wife were visiting San Diego. The restaurant was the perfect locale - sitting outside is something we take for granted. Living in Philadelphia, they did not. The food and wine did not disappoint. The salads were delicious. The pasta unbelievably good. The Malfatti Genovesi - House made spinach ravioli stuffed with ricotta & spinach in a basil pesto sauce - exceeded all expectations! This... read more
Excellent, excellent Italian restaurant. Northern Italy influence. Very attentive and friendly waitstaff. Waitress, a friendly and informative lady did a really nice job. Both of our orders were cooked perfectly. Nice presentation. Even the bread was good which we ate too much of. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for great Italian food. We will return to this spot when we return to San Diego.
We were seated promptly, and service throughout the meal was attentive without being disruptive to good conversation. Tables were sufficiently spaced to allow conversations at adjacent tables to not be heard. Food was excellent ranging from ossobucco to sea bass. Nice presentation and food arrived at the same time. Great antipasto appetizer. Portions were quite large, and no attempt to up-sell. Cocktails were very good quality and wine list was informative for the non-oenophile.
It is one of my "go to" places when we come from out of town. I just LOVE it! the food is delicious, and the waiters are Italian, which adds to the ambiance.
Nice restaurant located in the busy gaslamp district. Everything we ordered was excellent and the prices weren't too bad. The wine list could have been a little better, but all in all a very good experience.
While attending a conference we used open table rather than concierge for dining. Reviews were reliable and food was excellent. Location was ideal. Great patio dining with excellent seafood and pasta specials. Service was excellent and did not feel rushed as we enjoyed sights and sounds of Gaslamp District.
My husband and I have dined at Panevino for quite a few years now (almost 10 to be exact.) One of the best authentic Italian restaurants in downtown San Diego, right in the heart of the Gaslamp District. Even their servers speak Italian! One of my only gripes is the lack of space! On busy nights it sometimes feels like you're sitting on top of the people next to you and can practically join in their conversation. Other than that, this is definitely go to spot for REAL authentic Italian.
Had a wonderful outdoor table in the shade.The wait staff was charming but not overly attentive. The food was really wonderful. What made it exceptional was a guy playing guitar and singing in front of the restaurant. He was good and he covered some of my faves. Great weather, great music, great food. It was a wonderful dining experience. Although, if I were too go again and have the spinach ravioli, I might ask for half the sauce - it's destroying my diet!
Wonderful Italian Restaurant right in the heart of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter. My lobster ravioli and my wife's pollo toscano were both well prepared. We were able to get last minute reservations without a problem. As it turns out, we had dined at this same restaurant several years ago, but didn't recall the name until we entered. It was like coming back home!
