Reviews for Panevino Ristorante in Livingston, NJ
The food is fantastic but boy is the service abysmal. Server never came back to our table after ordering. Spend your Saturday... night and money somewhere where they'll take care of you a bit better but if you have patience, have at it. Read more
I was with my grandma and she loves Italy and of course theirs food, we liked the decoration, place and food. Outside they have... a nice flowered patio surrounded by a live green fence. I really recommend the place. I would suggest the owner to have moresauce for the pasta, the menu only had tomato sauce. Read more
Nice! Mangia! Eggplant parmigiana was large and delish. The paperdele was great! I didn’t like the service and it closed at 8... on a Thursday nite. Read more
Panevino dine in is much better than their take out. I placed an order over the phone 2 days ago and spent close to $200. Once I... got home with my take out order for my family, I called to inform them they charged me for an item I ordered and did notreceive. In fact, it was the most expensive dish out of all that was ordered. The next day, I called 3 times to inform them ofthis matter, and they gathered my information and said they would get back to me within a few minutes, which they did not. I amvery disappointed with their customer service at this time. I understand human error happens, but fixing the issue within anappropriate time frame and providing customer service is what welcomes customers to come back. Still waiting to hear back fromthem.

This was always one of my family’s favorite places. Haven’t been there in a while. Awful dinner tonight! Service HORRIBLE... and food terrible! Waited almost 30 mins just for water and our drinks. Then dinner came and they never even brought ourappetizers. We asked the waiter where were our apps and he responded did you still want them? We never knew we weren’t gettingthem! I will never go back! Read more
This review comes with abundant photos, of beautiful but entirely unremarkable food. The shining star of our entire meal was... the order of Calamari, which was crisp, well salted, and abundant. The Tropical Salad was unworthy of human consumption, thearranged rather than tossed salad, and abnormally large pieces of lettuce, made consuming it on such a small plate all butimpossible. The chicken parm was bland beyond our wildest dreams, and used a chicken breath with the bone in wing attached, Iwould hope someone simply ordered the wrong item, as no one likes the surprise of what looks like golden crispy goodness andends up being a wing bone. The eggplant parm had flavor and texture notes of uncooked flour, and weirdly distributed layers ofmozzarella and herbs... the most offensive thing about it wasn't the side of ... wait... if doesn't come with a side ofanything... it was the low moisture part skim mozzarella that they charred into a solid surface ontop. I considered keeping itto plug any leaking tires on the way home. To further enhance the mediocrity, despite being empty, our drinks took 20 minutes toleave the bar. Admittedly the orange whiskey tea is the best thing on the menu... so... go for the drinks and prepare to beotherwise let down... drive for real Italian food, Rezza in Roseland does a nice job... as does the ever venerated E and V inPaterson...ALSO... avoid the expresso... it was the most bitter expresso i have ever consumed...i was waiting for a plume ofcyanide gas to come off in the steam... though that may have had more flavor than the rest of the meal...

Pizza was good! We were disappointed in the chicken parm. The menu does not mention it is bone in chicken (which is odd). It was... covered with cheese and since we didn’t know it was bone in bit right into it. Read more
My family has been coming to this establishment for over 30 years. Truly amazing food, and trust me we know good food. The... pizza, meatballs, pasta salad, fish, appetizers, it is all amazing. Read more
