Panevino Ristorante

My husband & I had a lovely anniversary dinner at Panevino. The service was very good & the food was delicious. We hope to go back sometime soon.

Once again, Panevino provided us with excellent food, well served by Vinny, in a setting with great atmosphere!

Love the warm pasta salad with chicken and my friend's salmon was well prepared with seasonal veggies. The best orange/iced tea too. Service was good---a little short staffed but we enjoyed chatting and taking our time. Always enjoy dining here when in the area.

Everything was excellent from greeting to seating. Food and ambiance top notch and great service too!

I've been going to Panevino my whole life, so it's about time to leave a review! There is nothing negative I can say about the restaurant. The food is always superb, the ambiance is wonderful, and the staff is great. I've visited on a random evening as well as made reservations for New Year's and birthdays, and the quality and service is always the same - spectacular. Whether you're stopping in for a quick salad or celebrating a life event with several courses, Panevino is a complete joy. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside and out, and it is the kind of place where you totally forget you're on a highway in Livingston. Go!

The great food and atmosphere keeps me coming back. The servers are top notch. It always feel like home. A bit pricey, but worth it.

Good location, reliable and consistent food quality and service

Had a very good dinner. I am lactose intolerant, accommodated me easily and meal was delicious. Went with friends and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Food was great, not so many wine options though. Loved the place overall

Waiter was horrible

Excellent service and salads and pasta was delicious

Always a great time. the food is fantastic, the ambiance is great and the staff is fun and friendly. We have been eating here for 27 years and every single time we have enjoyed our experience!

Service was terrible and host was not pleasant at all.

It was very obvious that those who are regulars or who know the staff receive much better service than those who visit less frequently. We had to request water, which was never refilled. Our server was pleasant, but became less attentive as it got busier. We sat for quite some time with our finished plates in front of us while the people who knew him raved about the good service they were receiving. The food was mediocre. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Initially, the menu was not clear - too much wording, not so simple and an easy read. The food was delicious and fresh, really wonderful. It’s a very busy location which is great, but seemed to confined in spacing. Loved the food, so it was doable.

The food is always very good and fresh but fairly pricey for the atmosphere.

The noise level is way too high when they are 3/4 full or more.

The service is great! In the summer there is a great outside area. The porch is also very nice all year round (and less noisy).

Had to flag down another waitress after ours disappeared.

Food & service was excellent !

Unfortunately, our great dinner was overshadowed by poor table service. The restaurant was not crowded, and we waited for a long time for someone to come over - in fact one of us went over to the register to ask for someone to tend to us. There were 4-5 wait staff hovering there. The hostess was kind, and offered us a free appetizer, however this did not improve the service. When our food was brought out, my eggplant parm., although very good, was only slightly warm. meaning it had been sitting for awhile. The check was not picked up for 20 minutes after being delivered. Fortunately, we had great conversations, however, if this had been another couple with us, I am not sure this would have been a comfortable situation.
Also, towards the end of our evening, there was a strong smell of bleach - probably coming from the kitchen, even though we were across the room from there.
I am not recommending this restaurant.

The food is good the Sangria is better, the Tirimisu , phenomenal!

The food is outstanding, calamari, cooked to PERFECTION, waiter Elijah courteous and yet professional.
This restaurant is an absolute must on your going out to dinner list. Although, it is a tad on the noisy side. It was my birthday as well and the flourless chocolate cake did have a pink candle. Singing unnecessary and Elijah delivered it with style and grace. Thank you!

Consistently good for in an upbeat setting. Great service. Lentil soup was excellent as was the special, 4 cheese ravioli. My wife loved her salad, and a pasta entree in Marsala sauce with pancetta, cherry tomatoes, and pieces of chicken breast. Josip an excellent waiter and GM Christine always makes you feel “at home”.

The food, drinks, and the service were very good. However, this is not the place for "quiet" conversation. It is very lively and energetic. Although the noise level was not over the top, it was difficult to hear at times. My overall experience was very good and I will definitely return to try more dishes.

I was in NJ and decided to try this place with a guest from Germany.
What a great place, casual with amazing food at reasonable prices.
This is s go to place !!

Food and service was good. Very overpriced for lunch though

We had dinner with another couple and all four of us enjoyed the evening immensely. The food was wonderful, the service excellent, and the prices reasonable. All in all, a top-shelf experience!

Great food & great service. Good option for lunch. The patio is great for the summer.

Alone in town and hungry for dinner, popped on to Panevino and ate at the bar. Ordered special salad with fennel, shrimp, feta cheese...delish! Bartender was delightful and I was comfortable and very well fed.

Friend visiting from out of town impressed with restaurant overall.

Excellent delicious Food and very attentive, friendly service. One of our favorite restaurants. The only concern is the noise level, which in the main dining area can sometimes get so loud it is hard to talk to the other people at the table.

GREAT food and ambiance. Always treated special by gm Andrew and EXCELLENT service from Ana!!! Luv this place

After all the times I’ve been to this restaurant the same problem exists, dinner entrees come out before appetizers are done. There should always be at least 10-15 minutes between courses. Not sure I’ll go back

Service is amazing, our waiter was the best! Food is fresh and PERFECT.

The food was great and the ambience was just as nice! I would come back in a heartbeat!

Eggplant parm is off the hook!

We were the only ones on the terrace that night, and it took 15min for anyone to acknowledge that we were even there. Food was good, as always, but Service lacked.

Our reservation on the patio was ignored and we were placed in between a table of 20 and a table of 12. The Noise Levels were deafening. We couldn't hear each other talk and it was a very unpleasant evening. Since former management left months ago this place keeps falling into a deeper hole. The people at the front desk are totally incapable of running this restaurant.

Great food! Great service! Best eggplant parm I’ve ever had!

Very good Italian dinner for both my husband and I. He had the black pasta meal and I had the sausage and peppers over Rigatoni. We shared the daily salad and scrumptious dessert of Chocolate pudding with berries. Outdoor dining was a plus.

We have been going to Panevino for many years, mostly during the summer when we can sit outside. The patio is surrounded by lovely flower beds and it's a very pleasant setting. To us it's a place to go for a light meal and a glass of wine. Basically Italianish comfortable food. On this last occasion - our first this year - the service was especially good. We only had salads with added shrimp, but they were excellent. The food has always been good. It was also early, so it was quite peaceful.
