Reviews for Panorama in Philadelphia, PA
The food was absolutely exceptional and the service stellar! Had the rosé wine flight special, the incredible calamari, the... house made cavatelli, and the rich cioccolato cherry-chocolate cake. It was all to die for and just a wonderful experienceoverall. My friend had the ravioli of the day which was pesto topped, smoked mozzarella ravioli with crunchy lamb pancetta—abeautifully plated and extravagant dish. Couldn’t recommend it more, can’t wait to go back! Read more
Known for an extensive wine list and attached to a hotel on Front Street, this restaurant is frequented by many a happy-hour... goer. It appeared that there were specials that were not on the list. We saw two tables with an extensive canape selectedthat appeared to be compliments of the chef. Our meal was delicious, portions were giant, flavors very well done, though Ithought a bit pricey. It features Italian faire though most of the dishes felt more like what one would call New American. Incontradiction, loved the cocktail list and loved my Antica negroni. The cocktails were perfectly executed, not too sweet, veryunique. Meatball and half chicken was superb by my husbands account. The shrimp appetizer very flavorful with the feature ofgigante beans. The avocado also had slight flecks of brown and while i know the quest for a perfect avocado is real, those arethe types of things that feel weird on a $20 appetizer. The salmon ample and well-prepared. The house-made limoncello was anabsolute highlight and my husband enjoyed his Franklin fountain mint chocolate chip ice cream. Read more
We stayed at the Penns view hotel and decided to try out the attached Panorama restaurant. The service was very friendly and... attentive and the atmosphere was nice. The salmon was fantastic, excellent flavor and cooked to perfection. The tortellini wasgood but did not hold a candle to the salmon in terms of flavor. Wine selection was good and the wine we had was great. We choseto eat outside, I will say the noise from the highway and proximity to the road is not ideal. It didn't ruin our experience byany means but if you feel that it would, keep that in mind. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would come back next timewe're in the city. Read more
Highly recommend the salmon and shrimp appetizer. The wine flight for Valentine's day was a nice way to try various wines.
Nice Italian place with an extensive by the glass wine menu and wine flights with great service. We ate outside and it was a... little noisy with traffic from penns landing. Would reserve an indoor spot next time. Read more
The selection of wine is great, but be prepared to spend at least $30 on two glasses (same for cocktails). We tried the... restaurant week special at a high top table inside and the food came out slowly which was fine, however the grilled calamari wasa tad too fishy. Everything else was delicious and we had great service! Loved the dim ambience inside the restaurant, it feltlike dining in an upscale wine cellar. Read more
Food 4/5 Service 1/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Food runner 5/5 Hostess / Management 2/5 We go to Panorama almost on regular basis... (especially when it comes to Restaurant week, we never miss it every year, and the service and food has always been superb.Waiter and waitresses have always been super nice and knowledgeable. We went here for the first time after the pandemic. Itseems they might have either had a management, staff or standards for food and especially service have changed. Last night wasa very awkward dining experiences. Not sure if it was busier than their usual restaurant ween or short staff? From the momentwe walked in (Somehow each time we go (they just cannot seem to figure out which entrance they want to use for hotel guest andwhich one they want to use for restaurant guests. So we walked into the entrance that we normally use (like some other guests),instead of being greeted with their usual friendliness, we're met with a somewhat uncomfortable rudeness by this female hostessor one of the restaurant manager telling us to MOVE to the other side of the entrance, no hello, hi, nothing, since "this is abusy area" Ok sorry we went to the wrong entrance but maybe next time put a sign up that says entrance to the restaurant ishere?. I wish I could say that was the only negative about the experience. Food has always been good/good or amazing(Compliments to the chef). Service last night however, was what I would described as fast food-ish. Our waiter (Gabriel orGideon.. Not 100% sure, since I am pretty bad with names). Seems either new or didn't study the menu or just did not care forthe customer service or the job. Only time we ever saw him was when he dropped of our water, took our order, once to pick up ourplates and drop off our check. No checking up, nothing.... In fact when ordering he asked if we had any questions, so we asked"What is fish of the day? He said Salmon." "What is all in this item, what seasoning?" He said just salmon and on the Read more
Panorama offers a wonderful dining experience with an unmatched selection of quality wines and an espresso Martini to die for. ... We tried the Bolognese and it was delectable. If you're looking for a great place for a fancy date, definitely take a look atPanorama. Read more
