Went here for date night and could not recommend more! Our lovely, kind, and energetic server, Gioia, strongly recommended the Gnocchi. So, we ordered this and the Malfatti which were both delicious but the gnocchi was simply exquisite! The black truffle butter gave it a delectable, umami flavor that, due to the meltiness of the actual dough, disperses throughout every corner of your mouth, making sure no tastebud remains un-blessed by its truffly presence. Make sure to have a moment with each little lump of gnocchi to really experience what I’ve described. Maybe close your eyes while taking a bite even. Thanks for your A1 service Gioia!

Food is somewhat Americanized, clearly to compensate for the ignorance by Americans on Italian food. The food didn't taste like much, unlike Italian food, so maybe they should pick another type of cuisine....how about pizza and hamburgers?

We loved this restaurant. We are from to of town. The food is excellent, the staff friendly, thoughtful and attentive. They accommodated our service dog, and we enjoyed every minute of our dining experience. (the door to the next-door hostel kept banging loudly which was startling, but other than that, everything was perfecto!

This used to be our favorite place and sadly, since Covid, the food arrives, as if it’s been sitting someplace for a long time. Even when we asked to have hot food, they bought it back to a slightly warmed. Really disappointing, because as I mentioned, this has been a go to for us whenever we are downtown.

Arrived while the restaurant was not busy at all. The waitress took 20 minutes to even acknowledged us. Eventually we got to order and food arrived after 45 minutes. We got the ribeye which came with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes. The meat was chewy and rubbery. Mashed potatoes had no flavor. Caesar salad is okay, very small. Pizza was decent. Gnocchi was the most horrible thing I have ever eaten at an “Italian” restaurant. It was like they poured and entire shaker of salt and left the gnocchi boiling for hours. Mind you this was the waitress’s recommendation. Ragu Fettuccine situation was not horrible. The chicken pasta with sun dried tomatoes tasted like straight butter. Service was so horrible, to the point where we were laughing. We asked 3 people for the check and did not receive it until 30 minutes after. All in all we stayed for way too long, were treated with extreme disrespect, and food was horrible. Never come here especially if you are a person of color

The service does their best to be attentive and friendly. But it is clear this place needs to reorganize their kitchen and service logistics. Everyone is scrambling, orders do not come out within a reasonable time frame (45 minutes to get a salad and the appetizer had still not been served either). Seeing other tables that ordered later than yours get their entire order served first but you’re still waiting for salad? Not sure what is going on with Panevino but it was a real miss and disappointing. The food was ok and cannot make up for the discombobulated vibe and experience.

Osteria Panevino is not my favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego. The overpriced meals were sub par to say the least. It was not hot and looked as if it came out of a can! Lots of servers just standing around while a few were too busy to take care of a simple table for 2. Plenty of other options out there. I won't be going back.
