Tantalizing menu and awesome wine list - I had Anatra (duck confit w/ fig ravioli, w a honey sauce (a touch of truffle); my husband had the Ravioli ala Aragosta (lobster ravs w/ lots of local lobster placed between the ravs w/ a tomato cream sauce), a bottle of Silvio Nardi Tenute Rosso di Montalcino, a divine bread pudding for dessert w two double espressos each - - a 3 1/2 hour dinner that easily could have swung over to four! Over the top! Our server, Amanda, was knowledgeable, attentive and discreet. Perfect event!
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here tonight and it was fabulous! We arrived early and had the back room of the restaurant to ourselves. We loved the ambience of the room and the friendliness of all of the staff that we encountered. Our server Heather was attentive, friendly, and gave us excellent recommendations. She easily sold us on two of the specials - Burrata imported from Italy and homemade Cheese Tortellini with Mushrooms and a cream sauce. Both dishes were absolutely phenomenal - some of the best food I've ever had. My wife ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and it was incredibly delicious as well. The dessert menu looked scrumptious but both of us could not fit another bite. The prices are a bit higher than what we are generally used to but we would definitely come back for other special occasions. If you're looking for great Southern Italian food in the Providence area, don't hesitate to give Pane E Vino a try.
Couldn't say enough good things about this restaurant. The bread was great, the drinks were great (best old fashioned I've ever had), the calamari was great, the gnocchi was amazing, the shrimp risotto was amazing, the bread pudding was out of this world, the service was second to none. I've lived on federal hill for 5 years, I've had plenty of Italian food in my life being from a very Italian family. This is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more.
My husband and I had a great meal and can't wait to go back! We received a friendly greeting upon entering the restaurant and from the server to the food runners, we received amazing service. Kevin, our server, made recommendations for our meals that were spot on and was attentive without being obnoxious. From the appetizer to the tiramisu, we were highly impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. We highly recommend this restaurant!
Best place to eat in RI. Love the staff. The wine list is to die for. I especially love the Monday night wine special, is hard to resist! You get 1/2 off all of the wines they offer !
We drive an hour to eat here as often as possible. Joe and Esther are so accommodating and friendly. See you there.
Wonderful food and great service. Would recommend this restaurant if you love Italian food. The Cannoli for dessert was the best I e had in a long time (and I'm Italian so have eaten many a cannoli.

The food was fantastic. Our dinner was a business dinner . There were 8 of us and everyone loved the food. I dine out regularly at many fine restaraunts across MA & RI our server was by far the best server I have ever had. She was professional, knowledgeable and most importantly personable.
This is our second time eating at Pane e Vino. We love their gluten free menu and travel all the way from MA to eat there. Their wine list is fabulous and their wait staff is even better. We can't wait to come back again!
From the professional, effervescent dispositions of all our wait staff, the cozy ambiance and top notch food, there’s no way we couldn’t give Pane e Vino 5 stars.
It makes the trip from Stonington, Connecticut a piece of cake! Btw, the cheesecake is worth the trip alone.
This was my first time visiting Providence. Our server, Brody, demonstrated so much knowledge and passion for the Italain experience. He helped us make selections, and the food was amazing. I'm gluten free which most the times is a challenge, but not here. Great place to go. Thank you Brody!
Who knew they had such an extensive and delicious gluten free menu?!? Most of our family has celiac and we were thrilled to indulge in hot gluten free rolls, gf fried calamari, gf pasta bolognese and even gf chicken Parmesan!!! So yummy!!! Even enjoyed a glass of organic wine. Perfect for pre-theater at PPAC. Thank you- we will be back soon!!
I couldn’t even begin to describe how incredible this restaurant was. Went here on a date night with another couple and we were all beyond impressed. The food far exceeded my expectations. Not only was the food excellent but from the valet staff to the manager were all super friendly and took every chance they could to get to know you better. Will 100% be returning.
The food was excellent, the best lobster ravioli that I have ever had. Worth the drive from NH.
What an absolutely wonderful place. Been here several times and always enjoy coming back. Excellent food, knowledgeable and extremely attentive wait staff, awesome wines and superb pairing suggestions
Go and be pampered. Leave extremely satisfied
We had an enjoyable afternoon in celebration of Mother’s Day. We were seated promptly and most definitely were not rushed. Our server, Edward was very personable and attentive. Food was excellent - from the appetizers to dessert. Very nice experience.
Great food & drinks & great servers! Get the calamari & the lobster ravioli-you will be glad you did😉. Everyone there is super friendly & accommodating.
A little bit of a wait, but the manager made it worth our time with wine and cheese until our table was ready. Very, very good food and service!
I'm a fan!. I'm a fan of this place. I think its one of the better (if not best) Italian restaurant on Federal Hill. Food is consistently good. Waitstaff is a bit rough around the edges, but the service is good.
Very nice. Good atmosphere, service excellent. Extensive Gluten free menu.
Our new place!. Why five stars? Best gnocchi I have ever had! Great unique appetizers. And a wonderful duck entree over ravioli. Something like 25 glasses of wine available and over 100 bottles. Best bread pudding I've ever eaten. Friendly service, I've been here several time and they always remember us!
Negatives: the bar is very small, it's hard to get a seat. The traffic on the street can be tough so leave early, at least they have valet.
Always good. We went here for the first night of restaurant week, food was outstanding. We split the beet salad and arancini apps. The arancini was great, the beet/goat cheese salad had a nice balance. I had the baked gnocchi with san marzano tomatoes and smoked cheese and it was simple and just right. My girlfriend had the scallops which were also very tasty, however it would not have been enough food for me had I ordered it. She had the tiramisu and I had the bread pudding, both were fresh and delicious. The service (outside of getting the wrong app at first) was also good. Our waitress seemed knowledgeable about the menu and w/o us asking she added a second table next to ours for more space, as it was very small. That was very considerate and appreciated.
Great authentic Italian food! Try the bread pudding, it is heavenly! Service is always top notch and the staff is friendly!
Nice atmosphere, good service, nice unusual Italian dishes. A good choice in Federal Hill.
I tried Pane E Vino for the first time on our 5 year anniversary. Food was great, service was attentive and knowledgable, prices were reasonable. I will be visiting again.
I've had the pleasure of making two trips to this restaurant. One being with a large group of twelve to sixteen people and the food was great and the service consistant. Their desserts were just the right sweetness and the cappuccino truly finished the meal nicely. The second time I dined here it was one valentines day in which I was with a girl and one more couple. Obviously the restaurant was very busy and yet our food was still exceptional and our server was genuine and polite, kept the right amount of conversation while also respecting our space. This restaurant is great and definitely a recommendation if you're on federal hill. My only complaint would be the tv at the bar detracts a little from the atmosphere but once you're dining its barely noticeable. Great restaurant from my two experiences one of my favorites when I have the money for a nice meal.

Southern Italian the Right Way. Pane E Vino is a terrific italian restaurant located up on Federal Hill. Each time I have dined here I have always been impressed with the service, and the excellent wine recommendations. The cuisine is authentic and one of the best in Providence. Take-out is also available, and always a nice option should you wish to enjoy the food at your own locale. Excellent authentic food, terrific italian chianti, and enjoyable atmosphere.
Great italian resturant in rhode island....brought my family there after my PC graduation and had the best time.....definitely a great place to eat! I'm from jersey and I cantveait to to back!
While we perused the menu, we were given a basket of bread, olives, and olive oil. The bread was very good.
