Chicken escarole soup
Kristen S.

We live in the area and finally found the time to visit this neighborhood restaurant. We were welcomed and seated quickly, given menus and told about the specials. I ordered the chicken escarole soup and the Pollo Francese with a side of veggies. My meal was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the it was a very affordable.

Garlic Bread
Candice S.

Ordered delivery and the order was prompt and correct. The portions were big and that was great considering the price. Food was cooked very well but could have used more seasoning. I'd definitely order again and even go in person but will be needing some seasonings.

I got take out food here for the first time. I've been wanting to try the restaurant for a long time. I had the chicken Parmigian and angel hair pasta with a salad and garlic bread. The chicken was really tender and cooked perfectly. I liked the breading on the chicken and the sauce and pasta too. The portions were large and I couldn't finish all of it at one sitting. I also like that it was a good value because for 17.99 I got chicken parm and pasta with a salad. The packaging was also very well done. Ill be back and be bringing others with me in the future. Recommended.

Veal parmigiana with Angel hair pasta
Sunset4 M.

First time trying Bella Pasta and we will definitely return! Once seated our waitress introduced herself and took our drink order. She brought us sliced bread with oil. I would have loved it warm. It would have brought out its true flavor. Maybe it will be next time. Two of us ordered the Veal Parmigiana with Angel hair pasta and garden salads. The generous portions of veal were very tender. So tender, we could cut them with a fork!! Most important to me was the sauce (true gravy). It was delicious!! My other friend ordered Angel hair pasta with a meatball and sausage. He enjoyed it. The waitress was pleasant. The service was good. It was a relaxed atmosphere. And it was causal dress code.

Hello, first time back since move from benefit st. What a nice surprise.....ordered from the "summer menu", which was extensive. 12.99 incl, soup or salad, and dessert, coffee or tea. Well worth it....we will return

It's a little over a mile from Down City Providence and about the same distance from Federal Hill. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and has a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant and plenty of street parking. The restaurant has a local family feel to it; we liked the atmosphere. We were greeted by Armando, the owner and chef. He provided background information about his new restaurant and his experience as a chef in the Providence area. He also explained that the Porchetta was homemade and that he'd cook anything on the menu to our exact specifications. He'd create a dish, sandwich, combine different plates, etc. Our party of four ordered: * Porchetta & Eggs with Breakfast Potatoes $15 * French Toast with Strawberries and Whipped Cream $12 * Omelet with Breakfast Potatoes $10 * Chicken Cutlet Sandwich $16 I ordered the Porchetta & Eggs, and requested the eggs be prepared as an omelet. This dish was very tasty and nicely prepared. I also tried the fried chicken cutlet, which was hot, tasty and nicely executed. All plates were completely consumed, and all diners agreed the food was excellent. Our brunch was only $78 with tip, we thought the prices were very reasonable and the meal a great value. We look forward to our return!

We have friends in the area who had heard of the place, but had never gone, so we made a reservation (2.5 months ahead for a 4 some on a Friday, so it must be special...) and finally got to see what the fuss was about. (Still wondering.) We started with what ended up being a high point, "beets and frites." A very interesting take with a lot of frites, not enough beets (5 slices under the stack), and about 2 tablespoons of the lemon aioli. The few tastes of the 3-part combination were great. The frites, crisp and soooo thin, were good on their own. The olive oil that came with the bread was very green (young), with a strong flavor but I was surprised that there was no pepper grinder. I had the (special) cod, which came with a lazy prep of broccoli rabe and OK potatoes. The fish was cooked well, moist and fresh, but I'm still not sure what the flavorless green topping was. Our table also had oxtail ravioli, which consisted of tasty little purses of thin pasta and nicely flavored meat inside. (Probably the best entree, and gained the second star.) The eggplant was unremarkable in terms of flavor of the sauce, and the veggies that went into it did not seem to be very fresh. For dessert, we had rhubarb peach tart and chocolate bread pudding. The tart was mostly crust and very shy on the rhubarb. The bread pudding apparently used Hershey's chocolate powder which was not a great flavor and left a grainy texture. The server was not very friendly, somewhat pushy, and insisted that we order the dessert when we ordered everything else. Allegedly, this was because the dessert is made to order, but we had the impression that it was to expedite our table time. Even so, with all that "careful planning" only 3 of the 4 entrees made an entry and we waited quite a while for the 4th to show up, even after asking. Overall, not a good experience and not a place I'll plan to revisit.

Our server, Dwight, seemed rushed and inattentive throughout the evening. From the start, we felt like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. We asked if we could move to a nearby table that was already set for eight, as our current table was cramped and located in a very tight walkway where people constantly brushed past us. We were told the table was reserved, yet from the time we arrived just before 6:00 PM until we left at 8:45 PM, no one was ever seated there. It was frustrating, especially since the cramped space made our dining experience uncomfortable. Service overall was lacking. Dwight rarely checked on us, and when we tried to get his attention for drinks or assistance, he would quickly pass by before we had the chance to ask. It often felt like we were bothering him. We were not offered water, and getting additional beverages was unnecessarily difficult. The food itself was just okay, nothing memorable. When we ordered dessert and cappuccino, the cappuccino tasted like it was made with spoiled milk, but again, no one came back to check on us, so we had no opportunity to address it. The most disappointing moment was the birthday acknowledgment. We asked for a dessert with a candle to celebrate an 85th birthday, and instead received a plate with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate, a small amount of whipped cream, and a candle. It was underwhelming and, honestly, a bit embarrassing. We would have gladly paid for a proper dessert. Jacob the busser was the only attentive one there. We have come to Pane e Vino every year for family birthdays because we've always enjoyed the atmosphere, but after this experience, we will not be returning.

They are currently open Thu-Sun (5pm-10pm) serve up a selection of Italian tapas (small plates), all prepared to order by the chef. Some of the food offerings include shredded greens, shredded Caesar, zucchini/carrots, octopus, scallops, linguine & clams, linguine alfredo, chicken confit, porchetta, and tortellini in brood, each in the $8-$21 range before tax. They also offer a pasta bar (in Nov 2024), choose your pasta, toppings, & sauce, prepared fresh to order. The bar offers bottle beers, wine, cocktails, and espresso drinks. I stopped by GEODONO for dinner very recently, just after the 5pm opening time. I found a seat at the bar and was promptly given a menu and a glass of ice water. There was classic Italian music playing over the speaker. For this posting, I chose three items including the Alfredo ($11 plus tax), Tortellini in Brodo ($12 plus tax) and Scallops ($16 plus tax). I was also given chewy Italian bread slices and butter. The Alfredo in a bowl had soft linguine, rich creamy parmigiano alfredo sauce, broccoli, & black pepper. The Tortellini dish (bowl) had three hand made jumbo pasta pockets filled with ricotta in a parmigiano chicken broth & olive oil. The Scallops (small plate) had pieces of charred cauliflower, seared scallops, red wine cabbage, roasted maitakes, eggplant and roasted horseradish cream, guaniciale. They also had a couple desserts to offer including an apple crisp with ice cream, but I had enough to eat. The check with Toast QR code was presented, which was $41.73 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay online. The friendly staff chatted a bit about restaurant offerings in the area and requested feedback. I really enjoyed the food here and the Italian tapas concept. They are still evolving and I would highly recommend to try out GEODONO, which offers the ability to enjoy several dishes in one dining visit.

When you sit down, you have the option to order from any of their menus (from different cuisine types), but we decided to go with Pasta/Italian/Pizza which is Double Zero's speciality. To start off, we got their meatballs. These were solid, the tomato sauce was delicious! I wish the meatball itself had more of a crispy/crunchy outer layer. It was a bit too soft/mushy for my liking. You could definitely tell it was plant-based as well (which is fine, just not my preference!). We got their Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. I was a big fan of the Garlic Bread Twist! I could honestly eat this by itself. The Garlic Bread wasn't overwhelming the Rigatoni it was paired with but very flavorful. The Rigatoni was okay to me, it wasn't the usual Rigatoni pasta shape and I thought it could've had stronger flavors/seasoning. I really enjoyed their Cacio e Pepe, the cashew cream sauce was very tasty and highlighted the black pepper and cheese flavors. At first I wasn't a fan of it. After a few bites, it grew on me! Service was solid, our waitress was friendly and we got our food quick. I can see this as a great spot for people with dietary restrictions or just a cute date spot as well. I recommend giving this place a try! I think if I were to come back, I'd like to try their pizzas.
