It's always hard to find a good Italian restaurant in Hong Kong I reckon. Finally I happened to find one on Robinson Road though little far from the heart of the city.

It was a Sunday night and the whole restaurant was booked up. It's our great pleasure to have the owner Mr. Gianni to order for us. I've been to Italy for several times and were amazed the set up of Pane Vino,the starter all the way through was really authentic. It's truth like what other people commented - we felt like dining in Italy.

The starter was pama ham, mussel, tomato with Mozzarella cheese, feta cheese. The mussel was exceptionally good - small,fresh and very tasty. For Main course, Mr. Gianni organised pasta with green shoots and special sauce. The pasta was well done without oily and Mr. Gianni told us he cooked the pasta in sauce instead of water and that's why the taste of the pasta could be very concentrated. After that, we had veal and baby lamp chops. The portion was quite big but surprisingly we could finish the whole dish as they were really delicious.

There were various choices of dessert. However most of them had been finished when we tried to order. Mr. Gianni brought us later the cream chintilly puff (can't remember exatly the name) though it was really good without too sweet.

They used the brand of Lavazza for the coffee. Honestly I don't like this brand as it's little too light for me.

Since most of the ingredient were flied directly from the south of Italy, the taste of the food were very special. Forgot to mention the Rosa wine and also the Limoncello. Very Italian style!

Overall the dining experiece was beautiful. Price is little high but it's worth every penny.

This is a cozy, warm Italian restaurant just like going to a small restaurant in Italy. We've been to this restaurant many times, and this time, we ordered

Appetizers
Mixed Cold Cuts –The cold meats were very nice, not too salty compared with other Italian restaurants/hotels.
Parmesan Cheese –wonderful not like those you can find from any supermarket.
Homemade bread –very nice, served warmth.
Mushroom Soup –creamy and tasty

Main Course

Seafood Pasta in tomato sauce recommended by the owner - Very Nice.
Rack of Lamb: A MUST Eat dish!

Dessert and Italian Coffee.
Millefoglie and Panna Cotta <-- I think they are the best in town. Once you try them, I don't think you can find another restaurant that will have such high standard.

We had a long talk with the owner, and he told us that he imported most of the ingredients from his home town, South Italy. If the food ingredients are all imported goods, I believed this worth for values.

I recommend to people who wants to eat something genuine rather than local goods with Italian style cooking. But don't be expected you will get a 6 Star service as this is a Italian home-style restaurant.

Of course, I will go to eat again very soon!

My friend and I went there quite early in the evening on a Saturday. As we were early, so there was no other customer yet and we enjoyed our appetizer with our wine ($80/glass). At about 8pm, the whole restaurant was completely filled with customers within half an hour.

These were what we had:
Slices of bread, their special bread covered with tomatoes slices, cheese and anchoyves

Hot appetizer: mussels in white wine sauce
Cold appetizer: Angus beef ($168)
Pasta with sausage slices in tomato sauce ($198)
Dessert: Tiramisu ($75)

House white and house red wine

The mussels were really good! They were really tasty and the sauce was delicious though the mussels looked like baby mussels.

The Angus beef was still good. I tried their angus beef before and I liked it without the creamy sauce before.

The pasta was ok. It was cooked with tomato sauce, I guess. It was tasty and fulfilling.

Finally, we decided to try their Tiramisu this time though I have visited this restaurant for quite a few times. I supposed it would be authentic Italian tiramisu, and yes, it looked very different from what we usually had at other restaurants. One of the important ingredients was that they did use lady fingers! The only thing I wasn't sure was about the cream in between, which was unusual, but was still tasty. It was not too thick nor too creamy. I would say it is a "must try" if you love dessert.

The Italian wine here was as good as it has always been. As a house wine, it was superb.

The waitressess here were nice. The manager / supervisor was hospitable. She came to our table and recommended dishes that were not on the menu.

The only flaw in this evening was that they served us the hot appetizer before the cold appetizer.

Overall, it was expenisve to dine here, but given the good, cozy ambience, the tasty wine, delicous food and nice service, it was worth it.

Panevino is a warm little restaurant tucked away in a residential street. Unlike all the commercial italian restaurants, you feel the food is made with big heart!! And Fresh fresh ingredients. Everything on menu is good! From appetizers including all the antipastic, to all the pastas and seafood.. YUMMY!! Staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. Their wine selection is superb. Is slightly more pricey than other average italian restaurants. About 100 per appetizer and 180-250 per main.

I think they served the best seafood risotto in HK, not sure what secret ingredients they used but there was this very special flavour which for sure you can't taste it else where. The dessert which I can't recall the name was absolutely mouth watering. The pastry was so fluffy and the fillings was soooo smooth.Just one down side is that the tables are set very closely to one another, so be prepared.

I actually live very close to the restaurant, but only tried it once. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. My only complaint lies with the service. The waitress who took our order decided not to write anything down, despite me \'hinting\'. 10 minutes later she returned and asked my friend whether he wanted mushroom soup or minestrone. When the starters arrived my other friend was given the wrong food. Don\'t think I\'ll be visiting again anytime soon!

I think this would be my last time going there.The food was not as good as what it used to be. Price definitely was OTT (over the top), particular the pasta price. Tips: Make sure u DO NOT order any sparkling water or flat water. Order a bottle of cheap white or red is a better choice. Tap water is a good choice as well Beware of the "Old Guy"-> he sells you the most unreasonable expensive food or drink. Do read the Menu.But it's still worth to go if u haven't try "real' italian food.

A truly Italian restaurant with a relatively secretive location. For sure a good choice for first date. Make sure you reserve your table as it is quite fully booked. Try to get tables "on the other side" with glass walls near the entrance & the fridge. The thing that impressed me most was the sauce & the bread. The best dish was the appetizer - mussels & clams in white wine sauce. You can smell the "freshness" of the seafood brought to you with the white wine flavour. The sauce was simply

The sauce was simply superb but the other dishes were so so. I don't recommend the cold cut platter. My gal & I shared one main dish (Cavatolli <self made pasta with looked like Fusilli> with clams in white wine tomato sauce) & without wine, the meal costed me $800 (one dessert included) which was not cheap at all (esp. when you know it costed you $70 for Mineral Water & $88 for Minestrone <which was really so so>). I think it is quite over priced for these "side items". Rughetta no doubt is a better choice.

I like the food there. Both appetizers and pastas are good. They seem to recommend their desserts, even though I was too full to give it a try. The decor is very Italian home-style as well. However the location is a bit out of the way for those who live outside of Soho.Overall, I had a pleasant experience. However, I agree it's a bit overpriced. Yes, the food is good, but it's home-style kind of good instead of gastronomy or delicacy. Our bill came out to about $350 per head without wine

Our bill came out to about $350 per head without wine and no desserts. Appetizers are average $100 per dish and entress about $200... These price ranges almost match Sabatini or Amigo; even though, I don't think the quality matches.

If it was not so pricey I would go back again.

Hey man, I won't fly or become another Albert Einstein after drinking this "wonder" water..

The so-called "dessert-platter" contains 7 pieces of Italian cakes & tarts but it didn't justify its HKD550 sky-high price (with 10% service charge included)!!!

I would rather go for a dinner buffet in 6-star hotel then going to this tiny little restaurant for this price per person.

I WILL NEVER VISIT THIS STUPID RESTAURANT AGAIN.

JUST WISH IT WILL CLOSE DOWN AND NO OTHERS WILL BE INNOCENTLY DECEIVED.

Good luck buddy.

星期六我們一行8人聚會,看見這間餐廳的食評不錯,便試試看。這裡的appetizer 及main course 都不錯,原先計劃再次光臨。但埋單時卻發現價錢比預期貴得多!!! 查單一看才知道我們點茱時叫的清水,原來是意大利入口的,HK$60 一瓶,我們不知就裡,不斷叫侍應斟水,結果淨飲水都差不多要成千蚊,比叫house wine 還要貴!!! 而侍應介紹的dessert combo,埋單時才發現是以每件dessert HK$70 計算,一碟dessert combo 有差不多10 件dessert,最弊的是味道及賣相都不討好....... 感覺有點像到酒樓誤叫了成千蚊的陳皮紅豆沙一般,覺得這間餐廳的手法很不老實。

星期日中午約了一位很久沒見的朋友午膳,為對方補祝生日。對方想吃意大利菜及住離島,我又想找一個舒適的地方聊天,便選擇了這裡。這裡真係幾難找所以抵步時已差不多2時,店內只有2台客人,所以還不算太噪。若客滿的話,想必挺吵耳的。先點2杯橙汁,再慢慢的看餐牌。由於我倆食量不大,故只點了巴馬火腿哈密瓜及芝士焗闊通粉。巴馬火腿的鹹香,配上哈密瓜的香甜不愧是我的至愛。番茄芝士焗闊通粉用料很足,光看見那些有半吋厚的芝士便知道減肥無望了。因我不喜歡吃意粉,友人則不喜歡吃扁意粉,而選擇了闊通粉。通粉軟硬適中,蕃茄及芝士味配合得宜、口感極佳。最後追加了Millefoglie,酥皮鬆化、zabaglione就好似廣告咁講「清香軟滑,零舍不同」為一個完美的午餐劃上完句號。其實作為餐後甜品一個portion份量都幾多,好在是分吃的,否則一定吃不了。埋單$457,補祝生日張單當然由我負責。離開時已差不多4時,邊聊邊吃又渡過2小時快樂的時光。

Menu changes by seasons and sometime have good house italian wine. Nice environment, except the waitress sometime is in a bad mood, if they know u, they always give u smile on the face.

Overall, food maintain a good standard and price of course is better than hotel rest.
