6 reviews for Pane e Vino
The food was good, though a little underspiced for my taste (for the pasta we tried.) Prices are not bad for Charleston, and they have a good wine list.
"Small plates" of sundried tomatoes with capers in spicy olive oil, and hummus with radishes were great.
The wait staff were very friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is very good.
My best friend and I have a love affair with Pane e Vino. Sure we know the owner and she did help decorate before it opened, but even if we didn't it would still be our go-to place for dinner out. The caprese is always fresh, and a great way to start your meal, and Masi will always come around with a good wine selection. The prices are good and even if you're on a tight budget the apps pretty filling. My favorite thing to order is one of their soups of the day (aparagus and arugla has been the best yet!!) and the smoked duck app. The duck comes in a sort of italian style quesadilla, with crisp flat bread and melted fontina; absolutley to die for!!! I love that Pane E Vino is tucked away on a quiet street in a building that you would never guess houses great authentic Italian. This place is such a gem, and if you can find it I recommend if nothing else stopping in for a glass of wine.
It's a small Italian wine bar where they know what they're doing. The food was very tasty and the wine list is decent. The dining room is tiny--there are nine tables and five seats at the bar. Not to worry though, they have outside seating as well.
Their pappardelle al' antica, had a lot of interesting flavors in it (definitely not Italian-American), I liked it.
This restaurant is a hidden treasure downtown. The food is excellent and the ambiance is even better. If you have a large group, you'll have to eat outdoors but the patio is very sweet and intimate just like the restaurant. This restaurant has it all: great atmosphere, fabulous service, and even better food.
I was so excited to visit Pane e Vino at last. All it takes is an evening stroll past this adorable little ristorante, with its cinnamon-colored courtyard and tiny white lights everywhere, to prompt a visit. Unfortunately, my experience last night fell short of my admittedly high expectations.
The atmosphere was everything I could have desired. A cool evening, swoony lighting, soft music. And the service was nearly impeccable (though I never got the S & P I so desperately needed). But my entree, the spaghetti ai gamberi (tomato sauce with crab and shrimp) was flat and boring, nearly tasteless. I needed some salt just to remind myself that I had tastebuds at all. Not all of the entrees were so lifeless, though; my friend got the spinach ravioli special with prosciutto and scallops. It teemed with flavor, layer upon layer, almost too much. And the arugula salad with a round of goat cheese topped with fig molasses delighted us all. But the eggplant appetizer was bland and rubbery, a little amateur. The mussels they brought my poor bivalve-loving friend were, in her words, "the size of raisins." Sorry, there's just no excuse for that. I really want this restaurant to be better, and I'll definitely be back, because they got so much right. But the food was a classic case of hit and miss.
A great new place to eat outside, with consistently good food and servers who seem to know their wine list. I always seem to order the flounder dish, but have enjoyed tastings of their pastas. Try to make reservations, as the secret's out!
