   Always a pleasure to dine at Panzanella, where the service is warm and polished, and the cuisine is consistently very good. Keep an eye out for the specials; just had local halibut with morels, fresh artichoke hearts, asparagus and cherry tomatoes and it was superb. Portions are generous and bread service (with delish tapenade) is less than $2 a person - most such places charge far more. With warmer weather approaching, dining outdoors is always delightful.

   This was our first time at Panzanella and it was absolutely beautiful. We sat on the patio, which had a lovely ambiance. The food was incredible—everything from the antipasto to the pasta was top-notch. Highly recommend the grilled octopus; it was outstanding! Our server was friendly and gave us a great wine recommendation that paired perfectly with our meal. At one point, the restaurant got really busy, and service slowed down a bit, but it seemed like they were just handling a rush. Otherwise, everything was excellent! We’ll definitely be back. Amazing food, great wine, and a beautiful setting—highly recommended!

   The quality of food and presentation is pretty high. Prices are also higher (than comparable restaurants) but not too noticeably. The quality of service is a different story - Very poor attention both from the waiter and even the bus people. The older manager on duty was the one who was actually attentive and caring. Noise level is very high so having a descent conversation without shouting is near impossible. Tables are also very close to each other and they are generally on the smaller side so the dining hall was just packed with people. One low class and unbecoming element was charging $1.50 per head for bread. As we all have seen, some restaurants do charge for bread baskets (as a menu item) but Italian restaurant normally do not. This, to me, was a very déclassé way of trying to make a few extra bucks per table. Lastly, the $12 compulsory valet is something that’s also uncharacteristic. The same place valet parks cars should be available to self park. Overall, very good to great food but not worth all the negatives. We’ll hesitate to go back to this restaurant.
