| - Panevino, off-strip dining, on strip prices.
There is no argument that Panevino is a spacious and impressively designed restaurant with an abundance of parking. It has a mid noise level with a romantic-ish ambiance and dim lighting.
Unfortunately the night I visited, service and food was not on par with the aesthetics. Service was slow and servers seemed confuse. Dishes that were ordered came out all together, however the servers had no clue who had what, isn't that service 101? Water was filled, but rather infrequently and several times we were left without water for at least 15 minutes. Empty plates were picked up one at a time? What? Why would they pick up only one and run back to the kitchen? Waiting for them to complete the bill transaction took what seemed to be a decade. Perhaps it was a fact that we were a big group and our total bill being over $600 meant they were getting a big tip regardless, but nonetheless disappointing.
Onto the food! Food prices may seem reasonable for a classy Italian restaurant, but portions represent no value. Four cheese ravioli came with FOUR ravioli, good lord, how can you even get satisfied with FOUR pieces of ravioli, especially for $26. Maybe if they caused orgasms in your mouth then it could be justified, but it did not. The Shrimp and Scallop Risotto ($29) was a better value, as it had just enough protein, but unfortunately the shrimp was overcooked, oh well. At least they served free Italian bread with oil and vinaigrette.
Will probably pass on Panevino in the future, sorry.
