| - This is the kind of place to add to your "favorites list", visit, and ask your yourself, "Why don't I come here more often?"
Why indeed. The view is beautiful and if you have lunch here, you will get to look out on the east potion of the Valley through huge floor to ceiling windows.
FOOD: the food is very tasty here. They focus on Italian food and take the time to ensure the pasta, sauces, side dishes are cooked properly and seasoned well. They care about quality at Panevino. There are times I find the dishes to heavy (you know I'm talking to you short rib risotto), but it's better than solid. It's very good.
The lunch menu caters to nearby businessmen but they are willing to make you something off of the dinner menu if you ask.
VEGETARIANS MOUNT UP: Do those on a plant-based diet know about this place? Because they have one of the most interesting, delicious, and extensive vegetarian (and some vegan) menus I have seen at an upscale restaurant in this city. Why isn't this place crawling with veggie-focused foodies looking for options on the east side of town?
SERVICE: I have to say, as a service-focused reviewer (yes, I just gave myself that pompous title), I have had some of the best service while eating at Panevino. I struggled with giving them five stars based on the service alone. And during the last visit, our server Choy, provided such personable, kind, attentive, and knowledgable service that I want to go back when she's working next time. We told Choy that we wanted to look at their banquet halls and she took us to the hall and showed us around. We got to meet some of the special events staff and I appreciated the professional and expert information and service they provided.
If you've been in this town for over a month, you have experienced what passes for service in this town. I love what Panevino is doing and that they seem to care about the customers who frequent the place. That quality sets them apart from so many places in Vegas. There is no gimmick here. Just good food and great service with a gorgeous view.
