    We've eaten at this restaurant since it opened many years ago. Last night the dining room seemed understaffed resulting in long waits for service. The normally great Burrata was smaller than it has been and just ok. My risotto nero was so overly peppered that I assume someone seasoned it more than once. I had to return it and the replacement was as good as it always has been in the past. I'll chalk it up to one bad night since the restaurant has been great in the past.

    We love Panzanella, the food is excellent and the service is great. We come at least once a week, it’s delicious food and the atmosphere is so pleasant. The outdoor seating and the orange Vespa on display make you feel like you just escape to Italy.

    Nothing the restaurant could have done about two very loud couples in the corner. We had to shout to hear each other over their conversation which was loud enough for us two tables away to hear every word. The main room tends to be noisy. I'd asked for the quieter room but it was booked for a private event. It was a distraction from our lovely meal.

    We were sandwiched in so close to other tables on both sides that we mine as well have been sitting at the same table with everyone in our section. Service was very slow, martini was warm by the time it came, overpriced wine was nothing special, and so we skipped dessert after waiting way too long to even order it. Very uncomfortable ambience as a result of the seating and so we won’t be returning.

    Service was on point . Food came out nicely paced and hot ! The pizza was thin crust well baked and the salad was lightly seasoned with dressing . My linguini con vongole was so good and so was the spaghetti my vegetarian friend ordered . I highly recommend the place . Just be aware the prices are on the higher side . I would not be able to afford it regularly but would definitely go for a special occasion.
