Panevino comes from the Italian words “pane e vino”, bread and wine, the essentials of life. Our working herb garden, rustic décor, wood-burning pizza oven, and a beautiful outdoor patio are just part of what makes Panevino a special place to eat. Caputo flour imported from Italy, San Marzano tomatoes, handmade fior di latte mozzarella, and water from a local spring just like the ones in Italy's Campania region make our pizza as authentic and delicious as the pies found in Naples. Our Livingston restaurant also offers savory pastas (and gluten free pasta!), fresh seafood, delicious salads, sensational antipasti and pizza delivery. Our two outdoor bocce ball courts are also a great way to have fun in the sun! Serving the area for 30 years, we are proud to be known as one of the best Italian restaurants in NJ.

    Great food and great service. Price point is a little high. Thoroughly enjoyable meal. It was a treat to get such good sushi rolls at a place named "1776."

    The food was very good… well prepared and nicely presented… Our waiter Henry was extremely polite and pleasant … he was efficient and attentive even though the restaurant was quite busy… the ambiance was pleasant.. soft lighting and quiet background music… the table setups and decor were adequate but perfunctory… Overall a very good hotel restaurant!

    Would describe as "semi" fine dining. Curried carrots and green onions side was a bit spicy but that has to be expected with some curries. I don't usually order steak if not at an upscale steakhouse but saw recommendation praising the 30 day aged NY Strip Steak so took the chance and have to say it was excellent....good aged flavor, tender and perfectly prepared. the rhubarb cheesecake was beautifully presented but felt the rhubarb topping could have been cooked a bit more to make it less crispy or perhaps that was intended but I prefer rhubarb softer. Over all a good experience.
