Girl's night dinner and we chose to return this cozy little Italian First of all, I love their complimentary starters. The plate of cheese is great to go with any wine and its great to nibble on when you're waiting for your friends. The bruschetta is great too, and comes with rocket and green olives.The best is the bread basket, and you must ask the waitress for their vinegar coz it's balsamico tradizionale which is much much much better than normal balsamic vinegar. It's thick like Chinese oyst

The best is the bread basket, and you must ask the waitress for their vinegar coz it's balsamico tradizionale which is much much much better than normal balsamic vinegar. It's thick like Chinese oyster sauce and its sweetness is great for dipping with olive oil!
Starter: Mixed greens with peppers, pancetta and anchovies
A nice and normal salad with pancetta and anchovies.
Main: Truffled pasta with wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce
I would love to have a little bit of meat in this pasta, but it is still great as it is. The pasta itself is infused with truffle, and the thick cream sauce is full of nice fragrance of truffle!
It also has a mix variety of mushrooms in it for the mushroom lovers like me!
Other mains:
- Seafood risotto in tomato sauce which is normal, the rice is al dente with mussels, calamari, and shrimps
- Osso Bucco is my friend's favorite, the veal meat is tender with very tasty bone marrow, and a nice portion of risotto
All in all, Pane Vino will never fail to deliver, but I think it has degress a little bit since it moved to the nicer location on Robinson Road. It used to feel very very cozy, like visiting your Italian friend for dinner. And I agree with comments below, they used to serve generous portions on their food but maybe the rent has brought the portion down...
Also, I don't understand why they don't allow customers to bring their own wine. I understand and is willing to accept corkage fees, but at the new Pane Vino they don't even allow you bring your own wine! why? are they trying to make sure all their customers drink Italian wine?
逼我飲意大利酒？
