    This was our first time at Pane Nostro and we very much enjoyed the lovely ambience. Being Italian myself, it was everything I expected it to be: sparkling clean, white table cloths, separate wine and water glasses and the service was consistently excellent. I guess all this justifies the menu high prices, because in my experience, the actual food, though well presented, was a bit of a disappointment for us with the exception of the charcuterie antipasto, which was beyond fantastic and we highly recommend it. We couldn’t finish our entrees, even though, technically, they were perfect. My gnocchi were light and fluffy but the gorgonzola sauce was too sharp and overwhelming. My friend’s Sicilian red fish tasted as fresh as if it had just come out of the sea, but it was smothered in a heavy, thick, oregano spiced red sauce. She couldn’t finish it either. Likewise, the Spaghetti cacio and pepper was left unfinished by my other friend. We opted not to take a doggie bag home, even though it was offered to us. The $60 bottle white wine was excellent, we enjoyed it very much. My American friend was blown away by her tiramisu dessert. I tasted it and, in my opinion, all I could taste was the rich mascarpone. I couldn’t taste any coffee liqueur in it and there was very little coffee flavor. I ordered the limoncello cake, because it was highly recommended in one of the reviews, but it was very disappointing, nothing special, just a slice of lemon cake with a thick layer of sugar frosting in the middle, which I discarded. It’s quite possible that there are some hidden gems in the menu, after all the antipasto was absolutely wonderful, so I would definitely give it a second chance and try something different. Being Italian born and raised, I know what authentic Italian food tastes like. Heck I cook it at home all the time at a fraction of the price. But what you will enjoy at Pane Nostro is the athmosphere, the quiet elegance and the impeccable service. It’s quite an experience.

    This place was excellent. I went with friends to celebrate our birthdays and we were not disappointed! In fact, we were blown away! The service was superb and the food was fabulous. I haven't had Italian food like this since I visited Italy. Everything we ordered was on point, from the calamari appetizer to the bread and salad, to the fresh pasta dishes. Save room for the limoncello cake. To. Die. For.

    The service and ambiance were great. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The dessert was excellent. The meals were average for the price and amount given. I would try other entrees next time and really wish there was a WOW entree.

Will definitely be returning as often as possible and recommend to all of our friends. Perfect for date nights and adult gatherings.

    I came on Mother's Day and they had a limited menu, but still thought everything was very good. I feel it was slightly overvalued for the amount of food, but overall, can't complain. I'll for sure be back to experience their full menu.

    We have been to Pane Nostro a few times before. The service and food is always top notch. The only reason for the 4 star is because as a vegetarian I asked for the Risotto of the day which was Portobello and chicken and I asked to have the chicken removed. Which they did. The problem is they also charged me full price for the Portobello/chicken risotto which was $30. I mean without the chicken it boils down to mushroom, rice, cheese…..for $30?

    For the price point, you’d expect pasta made from scratch but it was clearly pre-packaged and not great. Simply put, I expected a different level of Italian for the price point and it did not deliver.

    Lovely ambiance. Waiter was attentive and welcoming. Nice views of lake during sunset. Really liked decor and layout. Very relaxing and you can talk. The rice ball appetizer was very good. Ordered bottle of wine waiter suggested and it went with entrees perfectly. I ordered seafood with linguini and red sauce. It was good. My husband had pasta carbonara. He said it was good also.

    The Food and atmosphere was wonderful but it took 1.5 hours to get my main entree. The server never came by to ask if I wanted another glass of wine or explain what was going on. I will give this restaurant a second chance as I know it’s new and perhaps they are working out the kinks because the food was delicious. But waiting an hour and a half for your food is totally unacceptable.

    A must try if you crave authentic Italian cuisine. The insalata di mare is unbeatable. Fresh! Takes me back to when I was in Ischia by the sea. And wines that you can’t find anywhere else. Ambiance is peaceful and quiet. Be prepared to take your time during dinner but between the views at Adriatica and the food, it is definitely worth it!

    Disappointed with the two pasta dishes. The marinara was runny and tasteless. The other dish w/ chicken (small chicken cubes) was not very tasty. Both dishes were salty. Sorry to say that this restaurant is overpriced for the food quality We always like splurging on good Italian restaurants, but this overpriced restaurant was not one of them.

    Date night. My wife and I had a reservation at 6:15. If I had to critique anything it would be the noise level after 45 minutes of our visit. If you stay along the windows it’s not too bad but anywhere else you’ll need a hearing aid to listen to your wife.

    I didn’t love tomato sauce on my steamed mussels. The tomato and mozzarella salad was excellent. Pasta sauces were very spicy. Chicken piccata served with one breast and one thigh. I prefer all white meat for that dish. Limoncello cake was fantastic, one of the best pieces of lemon cake I’ve ever had, and it was enough for two. Our server was excellent. Gorgeous setting with beautiful views to the outside.

    Upon arriving the place was empty at 6pm. Our server was great, we started with a bottle of wine and ordered the meatballs and bruschetta, both were delicious. However, after our appetizer we waited for quiet a while for our food. When the food did arrive only half of our table got their food and a few minutes later the rest came. Chicken piccata had bone in chicken that was dry and the sauce was all dried up. Lasagna was subpar and last the spaghetti carbonara was subpar with weird dry chicken pieces and sauce that was thickened. Sad to say but the food needs a little work and the restaurant was super slow so I can only imagine a busy night. It was disappointing because it started out good but went downhill fast with entrees.
