The Scene – There's a handsome booth-filled dining room, but the big draw is the lovely garden patio. With terra-cotta-hued walls and tiles, climbing bougainvillea and flickering candlelight at night--to say nothing of the Andrea Bocelli soundtrack--the hideaway courtyard sets an authentically Mediterranean scene. – – The Food – Judging from the dishes carried to the other tables, pastas, risottos and the wood-fired pizzas are dependably good. The crab cake appetizer, assertively seasoned with red pepper, is completely respectable. Chicken and vegetables--many of them…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- The patio fills up even on weeknights, so depending on your point of view, it can get either lively or noisy.

I WAS GIPPED!
by kinoalma
I was given a gift card for $100 to this restaurant as a birthday gift, but when I call for reservations, their phone number is disconnected. After reading their last review, no wonder that it went out of business. But I am out of $100!
Poor Service, Food So-So, 70s Decor
by Hills Native
I've kept going back to Pane E Vino for the last 15 years, hoping that it will improve. It just gets worse and worse; declining from "comfortable old shoe" to "I'll never go back". On a street and in a neiborhood with lots of great places to eat, Pane E Vino stands out for erratic service, mediocre food, and high prices. Last night we sat for 14 minutes before we (a party of 6) were offered water, drinks or wine. The food was really off - my crab cakes tasted like fried canned tuna and one of my guests actually took home part of his "veal chop" to attempt to identify the meat. Even the chairs became almost unbearably uncomfortable. I would never again inflict this on my guests, and won't return. Yes, the patio is lovely - that's all it has going for it.
Wonderful Evening
by frmlasmitty
Beautiful place. We ate on the patio. It is romatically lit and comfortable. The food is extrordinary! I had the lobster tortelini and it was so delicious and tasty I ordered an additional one to go. Exceptional service, from host to waiter to bus boy. Very well priced, our whole meal was $70. I highly recommend and will be back soon.
- Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance
- Cons: Valet is a bit pricey considering your car is 10 feet from the back door
Best Italian food!
by wingwaves
This is a fantastic Italian restaurant, a oasis and paradise of excellent service, beautiful warm people, a real treat for your pallet and for your eyes.
Very romantic gives you the feeling of being in some enchanted place in Italy!
A great place for business, romantic dates and parties.
I love specially the "Shrimp Margarita", a secret recipe that the owner brought from "Santa Margarita"
he says; "My favorite place in the world".
- Pros: Thumbs up in ambiance and food
- Cons: none
One of my all-time favorite places in LA
by spambanana7
We have been enjoying Pane e Vino for several years now, and I can't believe I have never written a review of the place! This place is family in the truest sense. The hostess, Natalee, has been there for years, and she always remembers us and the table we like. The owner is there every night, along with bartenders and servers that we have also been seeing for years. You don't find that kind of warmth and loyalty in many places, especially in LA.
The food is always dependable (pizza margherita for the kids) and sometimes spectacular (shrimp with honey, curry, and brandy; the Linguine & shellfish cooked w/a pizza crust over the top). Really good place to find something for everyone from picky eaters (they always make a little pasta with just butter and parmesan cheese for my son) to more grown-up fare ( Seabass & ribeye steak).
Admittedly, the garden gets packed sometimes; it's a bistro, not a velvet-rope kind of place . Don't look for a quiet table for 2 in the garden at 8:00 on a Saturday night though; it doesn't exist. But what you will get is an energetic, bustling spot that is great for people watching (we've seen Halle Berry, Craig Ferguson, Cheri Oteri, Billy D Williams). If that is not your thing, the dining room inside is quieter. Or, we usually have the patio to ourselves when we go at 5:00 or 6:00 on a weeknight.
This is a place you stumble onto and it's full of guests that have been coming here for years. We've actually made a few friends simply from being at Pane e Vino. We've met couples that married here, seen families grow, careers develop; that kind of atmosphere can't be forced, it just happens.
Pane e Vino is a warm and welcoming place, not a cold and calculated fine-dining experience. I highly reccommend Pane e Vino to anyone who is looking for a break from the LA "scene."
- Pros: atmosphere, staff, garden
