    Sorry to complain about the screaming kid at the next table. But I was more than a little annoyed that most patrons were sitting outside or upstairs and we got stuck with the nearby kid. They should have isolated that family. It was torture.

    Went for a friend's birthday as a group of six. Highly recommend having a group that you can share all the delicious tapas and taste some of everything. Everything we ordered was delicious and spaced out really nicely at 3 to 4 plates at a time. Really impressed with the menu and the chef. Variety was great and we had plenty to order as vegetarians. Really looking forward to go back.

    We love Panzanella, the food is excellent and the service is great. We come at least once a week, it’s delicious food and the atmosphere is so pleasant. The outdoor seating and the orange Vespa on display make you feel like you just escape to Italy.
