Panevino comes from the Italian words “pane e vino”, bread and wine, the essentials of life. Our working herb garden, rustic décor, wood-burning pizza oven, and a beautiful outdoor patio are just part of what makes Panevino a special place to eat. Caputo flour imported from Italy, San Marzano tomatoes, handmade fior di latte mozzarella, and water from a local spring just like the ones in Italy's Campania region make our pizza as authentic and delicious as the pies found in Naples. Our Livingston restaurant also offers savory pastas (and gluten free pasta!), fresh seafood, delicious salads, sensational antipasti and pizza delivery. Our two outdoor bocce ball courts are also a great way to have fun in the sun! Serving the area for 30 years, we are proud to be known as one of the best Italian restaurants in NJ.

    We have been to Eataly both in Soho and Boston and have eaten at both. We enjoyed being able to Eataly closer to our home. For lunch today we had the Burata con Caponata. The burrata was creamy and deliciious and the caponata was well seasoned and enhanced the burrata experience. We had an order of Ravioli di Zucca. The pasta was sublime, the butter and sage sauce lightly coated the pasta that was tender with a flavorful butternut squash filling. We also order the Baccala (pan-seared cod) over roasted butternut squash. The serving portion was a good size and we perfectly roasted. The accompanying butternut squash was a nice contrast to the code. Our server was lovely and personable and made our dining experience enjoyable. We'll be back.

    Hosted a party of 6 on a busy night at holiday time. Hunter was our server and was simply outstanding, a total pro. Had varied entrees from steak to chicken to fish, all were exceptional. Table was a bit cramped but that's to be expected this time of year. A terrific surprise, had not been before. Already planning our return.

    The restaurant is beautiful with a cozy atmosphere. Went there twice and both times everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly and the service is wonderful. The spicy tuna nachos are my favorite. The chips are home made and the best i ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. You wont be disappointed. Enjoy

    Honestly, I don't know where the negative reviews I read on here came from. My husband and I just ate here this past week and it was every bit as good as it has always been. My standby for an appetizer, the egg-yolk ravioli was just as heavenly as it has always been. My lobster, shrimp and crepe entree was absolutely divine. My husband's veal was delicious! The hostess graciously moved us to a "better table" after we were seated (we didn't even ask) and the ambience was wonderful at both tables. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and funny. It was a wonderful evening and we can't wait to return.

    We have eaten here many times. The food is always very good, however our waiter never refilled our water and forgot to bring the coffee.
