    The restaurant was across the street from my hotel and while the outside appearance was a bit deceiving, the inside was very authentic and quaint. The wine list was great and the bread they give you upon arrival was tasty and had a great crunch to it. I also ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer which had three different types of toppings, one was the typical bruschetta topping, one was artichoke I believe and the last one had an olive topping, which was a little too salty for my liking. I will say the bruschetta bread was slightly soggy and not as crunchy as I prefer. For my meal I had the lobster ravioli which was absolutely delicious and my favorite part of the meal with the exception of the white wine I had. Overall, the staff was attentive and polite and I would return and definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Disappointing meal. The food appeared way too quickly, wine was overpriced and the service was patchy. Far nicer places in San Diego to visit

    Disappointing experience. Service was slow and inattentive. The risotto was watery, the chicken dry, and overall the food lacked quality. On top of that, the noise level was so high we could barely hear each other. Wouldn’t recommend.

    We just had the most wonderful evening celebrating our wedding anniversary at Osteria Panevino! We were greeted warmly, shown to our special table and we settled in. The pacing of our evening was perfect! We never felt hurried or ignored. The zucchini squash blossoms and the almost impossible to find spare rib agnolotti were the best we’ve had in the states! Exactly like we’ve enjoyed in Italy! But the one thing that made the evening so special was the staff! Everyone was so kind and polite and warm and engaging. A special thank you to Gioni, who we later found out is the general manager. We loved talking with her and sincerely appreciated the extra special touches that made our anniversary at Osteria Panevino so special. The complimentary tiramisu and limoncello at the end of our meal made us nostalgic for our past visits to Italy! Osteria Panevino is the perfect place to experience the warmth of Italy without a 12 hour flight! Thank you to everyone who made our celebration so special!

    Some of the best Italian food we’ve had. Margarita pizza and the cheese wheel pasta. I cannot recommend the cheese wheel pasta enough! Plus they gave us a complementary tira misu for our anniversary. Great decide. Great everything.
