    Great food and service! It’s a small restaurant but definitely had a lively atmosphere. We were seated right at the time of our reservation even though the restaurant was slammed.

    All around great food and service! Only small issue is the noise level - it gets very loud with the high ceilings!

    Trust me. We locals know this: Panza is the BEST restaurant in the North End! It's owned by a great family and is not pretentious. John, whom I would describe as the best server in the city, just made perfect food an even more perfect experience! you may have to wait a few minutes for a table, but over the last 10 years, we have had not one disappointment in this place.

    It was fabulous. Must get a pasta dish-any pasta. One diner in our party loved the mussels appetizer so much, she ordered a second helping as her main course.

    The food is excellent but it’s important to know that it’s very noisy on Saturday night. Go off hours and you’ll give it all fives!
