Pane E Vino delivered one of the best Italian dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I sat at the bar, the staff was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely focused on making sure I was satisfied throughout the evening. I started with an incredible appetizer featuring several varieties of fried mushrooms paired with red wine--absolutely delicious and full of flavor. For my entrée, I enjoyed the shrimp pasta with white wine sauce, which was perfectly prepared and tasted authentic and fresh. To finish the meal, I had the apple crust dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect ending to an outstanding dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly, for a moment I felt like I was sitting in a restaurant in Italy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Pane E Vino and will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way! read more

Stopped by and a gentleman at a table waived/invited us in. Sat at a table. Older gentlemen (not sure if he is the owner/manager) came out and was very cold, curt, borderline rude telling us the kitchen was closed and to leave. How were we to know at the time they were closing the kitchen? No signs were posted outside. We only came in because his pal waived us in. An honest mistake on our part. I feel after being a regular patron we did not deserve such impudent behavior, no normal abiding patron does. read more

I was reluctant at first. We walked in and the server asked if we had a reservation. We said no. He hesitated then said he could sit us at this little table right in front of the door. Well, okay. We were there and we were hungry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small place with big attitude. Great vibes, low lighting, cozy seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat down and browsed through the menu. The server came over and said he'd move us to a bigger table. THANK YOU! We finally decided on food. We all had crab cakes appetizers. I had the spicy honey pepperoni pizza and Cesar salad. Coworker had the peso buco with risotto, and the other had the lasagna. We had some fresh rosemary rolls while we waited. Everyone was very satisfied with their food. The girls decided to have desert which we all shared. Tiramisu and cannolis. I don't care for tiramisu so I just had a little taste. I did enjoy a cannoli. The server was super friendly and he knew how to sell you on anything on that menu. I would make the drive to visit here again. read more

We tried rhis place because we got a credit from an event. The pizza was yummy authentic Italian. And their lobster noodles so yummy too!

I stopped by for lunch with the family on Sunday after looking for a new Italian restaurant to try. I came across Pane e Vino and hadn't heard of it before, so we decided to give it a go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice, albeit we got there when they opened and it's a small place so it was pretty quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The man who grabbed our drinks was very stoic but friendly. Our server was helpful for my aunt, who is pretty picky. She did end up getting the chicken parmigiana, and loved it. The complimentary focaccia was perfect. I got an iced tea, but I was disappointed. The flavor was veryyyyyyy subtle. On the flip side, I also ordered the fusilli melanzane, and it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The smoked mozzarella was the perfect touch on this dish, and I would honestly come back for that alone. My family also ordered a pepperoni pizza, which my sister liked, but the crust was okay. The size was great for 1-2 people. They also ordered the farfalle I believe and my mom and grandma really liked it. I'm glad we got to give Pane e Vino a try, and I would love to come back here sometime. read more

My wife and I visited this Italian restaurant for the first time and we truly enjoyed the experience. Upon entering, we were met and greeted by Paul the waiter whom would later reveal that this is a family owed restaurant and he is the brother of the owner. Paul the waiter was absolutely awesome! He is extremely friendly, super funny (belongs on stage across the street at the Laugh Factory), knowledgeable of the entire menu and he made dining here a fun experience. Service from Paul and the entire staff was top notch and greatly appreciated. Now for the food in one word, DELICIOUS!! My wife had a Margherita pizza which I ended up eating half and I ordered the Penne Alla Vodka. Both food items were well prepared, fresh and tasty. I am not usually one for ANY type of pasta and/Italian food in general bcos I tend to gain weight simply by looking at the food but I made an exception and I had no regrets whatsoever. The vibe here is family, and good times. We will definitely be returning in order to try other dishes on the menu and to be entertained by Paul the waiter. read more

I hate to say this because I love pasta but the vongole was not good. I felt like I could taste the ocean with every bite so I couldn't finish my dish. I tried the clams and they were alright but there was no flavor from the white wine or really anything. I was offered some penne alla vodka and even that one had an odd flavor. The redeeming part of the meal was the complimentary garlic bread which quickly disappeared from my table. I pretty much ate some of the cucumber salad and then called it a night. The service was good though and we made a reservation beforehand for our large party so they wre able to seat us quickly on a Friday night. read more

Pane E Vino - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

A restaurant/bar that tastes as good as how inviting it looks. Pane E Vino is a great place that embodies the vibe of downtown Covina. If you happen to be exploring around, this is a great Italian eatery! Food - I got the black and white pasta. It seems like this is more of the authentic pasta instead of Americanized. It's not saucy, but has the perfect amount of flavor and lightness to it Price - A little more on the pricy side. Expect to spend $20-40 a person depending on orders. Drinks - Great Italian wine selection. I personally think the Chianti Classico bottle is a great pairing with their pastas! Vibes - Great for date night, hanging out with friends, or even a solo meal at the bar with great conversations! read more

Pane E Vino - Black and white pasta - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

The best appetizer for sure the Burrata was super delicious! Prosciutto Pizza by far the best pizza i have ever tasted. Lasagna Bolognese was good but the Bolognese pasta was way better i think ill stick to the original lasagna recipe. The Chicken Alfredo pasta was a special request they did not have on the menu but they nailed it and it was.really good! The chicken Parmigiana was tasty for sure will definitely come back again! Only questionable dish was the cesar salad not pictured, the anchovie taste was over powering and ruined it for the whole table. Missed out on the cannoli but im definitely coming back for it. The service was great our waitress.was amazing and helped us with any special requests. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is fairly small yet very cozy and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was empty when we arrived with another group of patrons, but as soon as we were getting served the place got packed!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We surely arrived at the perfect time. Definitely will recommend this place to all my friends!!! read more

Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite spots! Service is great but the food is amazing!!!

The nonprofit I work with was hosting a 30 person luncheon and Pane e Vino put together an amazing lunch for us. We were allowed to customize our own menu that included gluten free options as well as their famous Meatballs which need their own review because they were that delicious. The meatballs were juicy, a great size, seasoned deliciously, but still tasted clean and homemade. They really elevated the simple penne with marinara we opted for. The bread rolls were decadent and super homey, not sure but they almost tasted homemade. Pick up was seamless and everyone really enjoyed the dish and fresh Italian salad. Thank you Mark for your generous support of a grass roots nonprofit organization. If you are in need of catering services look no further. The physical restaurant is also super charming and worth a visit! read more

Stumbled into this place because my friend and I was craving Italian food and her go to spot was closed. There was nobody inside when we walked in so we were a little skeptical but we decided to give this place a shot. The waiter was super nice, helpful, and funny. As time passed more people started coming in to dine. We ordered the calamari, Vongole and the Piggy Pizza to share. Food was made quickly and it was pretty good. The calamari was fried perfectly and paired well with the aioli sauce. The pasta was our favorite part, you can taste the fresh clams and the wine. The pasta was al dente as it should be and we devoured the dish. Our biggest let down was the pizza, it seemed very undercooked and the toppings were still cold. You know when you pick up a slice of pizza and all the toppings with the cheese slide off? That is what happened, there was no crust at all and no grip. We could see the dough still that had no color to it, but we werent too bothered to complain about it. We ended up taking it home to go and correctly heated everything up to crisp up the bottom for a better base. Overall I would definitely come back for the pasta but can pass on the pizza read more

Recently to Pane E Vino or a date night. Always welcomed with smiles and a media seating. The scallops were delicious, freshly grilled on a bed of arugula. We ordered a prosciutto pizza on a gluten-free crust, the crust was OK. Service is always spot on though. This is the reason why we go back, due to the typical and always great friendly service and ability to laugh with the waiters. read more

Celebrated my nephew's bday here. The staff and host was very attentive. He made our festive event a lot better with his delivery of excellent customer service! The food was an added bonus!

Penne alla vodka was fine. Pepperoni pizza was unnecessarily greasy -- I'm talking puddles. Worst part: I just saw my receipt from my only visit here from a couple of weeks ago... they apparently charged me a $25.00 "cake fee." Upon seating, the waiter OFFERED to keep my party's small birthday cake in the back. He failed to tell us there was a fee. In fact, I've never even heard of a freaking CAKE FEE. The waiter later brought the cake back to us -- outside of its box, gave us plates, forks, and a pastry knife for us to cut it ourselves. He lit the candle (as I was taking out my own lighter), literally sang "happy birthday to-" and then took off to the next table. And two people in our party were repeat customers. Not cool. I won't be returning, and I'll be recommending my family dine elsewhere moving forward. read more

Wow The food is very flavorful. I recommend the burrata to start & seafood pasta for your entree- both are excellent. Our waiter was friendly & personable. It really felt like we were in a little cafe IN Italy. I can't wait to go back & my friends also loved it read more

Interior is cozy. Servers were nice and attentive. But the food was average; maybe below average. It tasted something you can make at home with ingredients from Trader Joe's. Their complimentary bread was soft but on a sweet side. The fried mushroom was probably the worst dish...it was full of batter with only small pieces of mushroom. I felt so sick after eating one because of all the grease. The 2 pastas (scallop and shrimp linguini special and penne alla vodka) were subpar. Honestly I can make similar dishes at home with more ingredients/proteins. The fennel sausage pizza was average too. I had to add a lot of red pepper flakes to make it more appetizing. Not sure why there are so many good reviews but maybe because I had better Italian food so this place was a disappointment. Don't think I will be back. read more

Had the chicken parm, ravioli and the lasagna. Food was okay. Service felt rushed since my plate was removed the moment I put my fork down. The waiter took the bread and olive oil too but not everyone had finished eating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not the best place to have a conversation since the music was a little too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place seemed to be popular for large birthday celebrations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Such a gem in downtown Covina. The arugula pizza is to die for. The staff recommendations are always spot on, and they really know their wine pairings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the outdoor seating. It feels like a little slice of Europe and such a treat, like a mini escape right in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Intimate dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything always goes well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibe, wonderful food, excellent service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Appetizers, salads, flatbread style pizza, main dishes, and deserts all worth the trip. Love the crew. Servers are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Natalie is a gem, but everyone is great. They're quick to remember our favorites when we dine and are there to offer suggestions if we're struggling to choose. We're early eaters, so there's hardly ever a wait. And if there is a wait, it's never more than 15 minutes. Love, love, love this place. Pane E Vino never disappoints.... read more

Pane E Vino - Crisp Calamari and crab cakes - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

Food: 3/5, service: 0/5. My wife called for takeout, she was told 25 minutes. I arrived after 25 minutes. The staff acknowledged me and told me to wait multiple times without even asking me what I'm there for. I make eye contact with multiple staff members. I see them casually chatting with dine in customers. Meanwhile, I'm just waiting. Finally after 30 minutes, someone asks me-- "what are you here for". Who knows how long our order was sitting in the back, waiting to be packed up. It's amazing how hard it is to treat others with basic respect and how extremely difficult it is to carve out 20 seconds of one's time to ask one simple question: "what are you here for". read more

0/5 for very poor customer service. Called on the phone to order pick up, and was told it would take 25 minutes. My husband got there when they said the food would be ready and they just told him to wait without even asking for a name or order. Stood there for 20 minutes before the waiter finally came and ask us what we were there for.. He clearly had time to chat up other customers, but couldn't spare a minute or two to help us out. 3/5 for the food. We got the penne allá vodka, ravioli, cheese tortellini, farfalle, meatball appetizer, and wild mushroom pizza with sausage. Our pizza was cold by the time we got our food, but I think that was the best tasting thing out of everything we ordered. The protein in our pastas were overcooked. The only pasta that we liked was the cheese tortellini. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing ambience we were greeted as soon as we walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You didn't feel awkward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were helped for a table greeted with delicious bread that doesn't even need oil and vinegar, but they did bring that on the side as well and then we got the appetizer of the beef and pork meatballs and then our dishes were served. Nice and warm and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place for a date night. read more

The pizzas from this restaurant saved me. I was starving since this morning and got three with a friend. Once we took a bite... wow! The crust is soft inside, crispy out, and not hard nor burnt like other places. The sauce, cheese, and meat toppings have a perfect balance of flavors (great for drinking with wine). It wasn't too oily either. I shoved a whole new slice in my mouth and we couldn't stop eating. It was just that good!!! Staffs are friendly and accommodating, too! The place has a warm cozy environment during the evening. Pizzas are delicious. 10/10 would come back again. read more

A small and quaint restaurant, with a honey and inviting atmosphere. We were lucky to be seated straight away. Our server, whose name I am now forgetting, was just a pleasure. So funny, witty and attentive. I started with a special of the lentil soup and it was delicious. I hit the penne vodka and I thought it was good, not the best I've had, but definitely delicious. And of course I had to end the evening with affogato. read more
