Our waitress was amazing. Kind and warm and helpful. But they seated us in the back room which is for private parties and the ambiance was too bright and felt like… we were stuck in the back of the restaurant!

Superb neighborhood restaurant that elevates its cuisine beyond a traditional neighborhood Italian eatery. There’s value here, too: The bread and tapenade cost $1.50 per person - most establishments of this quality charge about $10 a bread basket, if not more. Portions are generous. Pastas are usually exceptional as is the branzino. Service is always top-notch.

Lovely experience, amazing food and service! Celebrated our engagement there and were greeted and treated with great care all night. Everything was delicious (carpaccio, caesar salad, linguini w/ clams, bolognese), we cant wait to dine again and try other things.

It is still hard to hear in the main room. You would really enhance the experience if we were able to hear our friends better.

Excellent food and friendly, attentive service are the hallmarks of this longstanding neighborhood standout. The fairly large, varied menu includes a good selection of appetizers, salads and soups, as well as pasta dishes, risotto, pizzas (including a luxurious Tartuffo with shaved fresh truffle) and full-blown Italian entrees like chicken piccata or milanesa, steaks and lamb. Additionally, there is a deep menu of daily specials, and so everyone should be able to build themselves an enjoyable and satisfying meal. The well-tended bar offers an excellent cocktail program, and their extensive wine list should please any oenophile. Desserts are equally creative, including bread pudding, panna cotta, a banana Nutella tart, and a weekends-only tiramisu, among a number of others. This is a stellar Italian restaurant with a friendly staff and a busy-but-comfortable vibe. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation to visit soon.

As always, Panzanella provided a delicious, fresh meal with stellar ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The service, especially considering that this was NYE, was prompt and friendly.
