Pane E Vino - Covina

My girlfriend and I frequent this establishment once in a blue moon, however after our experience last evening I believe we may enjoy this fine restaurant more often. I will concede that we had our sights on a barbecue joint up the street from Pane e Vino. However as we walked past this establishment and saw the lively ambiance we decided to change our venue of choice. I'm very glad we did. We started off with the shrimp fried mozzarella, lets just say there wasn't a bite left to be had. Then as too our main dishes my girlfriend opted for a salmon dish which she thoroughly enjoyed and I went for my usual the piggy pizza. Delicious all around. We also enjoyed a few rounds of drinks from their fine selection. As to the prices, yes I dropped a little over a c note for our fine meal but you know what.. Good food costs money and I have no issue with that. This isn't a poor man's restaurant and if your the type that hates opening your bill fold a little wider than I'm sure there's a olive garden somewhere down the road. 5 stars to Pane e Vino.

So tonight we decided to try this spot in old town covina, they are currently allowing dinning but outdoors in a makeshift area of the street, but its decorated with amber lighting and easy ups and closed off with street barricades , anyhow the atmosphere is nice, it really does feel cozy with the weather cooling off a bit, so to the food part, I had a spaghetti with clams and scallops, let me just say it was delicious, I can feel and taste the oil that was lightly sauted with the garlic, I could taste the clammy texture that paired delightfully with the tomatoes, all just melted in my mouth, our server was funny and knowledgeable, just made our first experience that much nicer, here are some pics of our meal, well at least the few I got to snap of because I was so focused on devouring the delicious food, did I mention the bread was to die for, although they say to stay away from bread because it takes up real estate in your stomach, their bread is freshly baked, mix it with some oil and vinegar CA-POW its amazing! The bread just almost melts in your mouth , it's so warm and buttery I was eager to ask for another basket full, but I had to leave room for my dish, so there you have it people, I highly recommend this spot, yall won't be disappointed.

Rude, Rude, Rude. This owner is an arrogant nightmare! We came in to have a nice dinner. All the owner did was complain. We will not be going here again. Food was below grade and not even comparable to the Olive Garden. I've never experienced such a sour service. I think maybe he's not making the rent due to the lack of customers. Save your money get better service anywhere else. I honestly think he is unaware of arrogant behavior.

Enjoy eating here for the food and ambiance. A little pricey but food tastes authentic. My wife and I enjoy the ribeye pizza. Parking only on street which can be a problem on weekends. We go during the week to avoid problems. Rafael (server) is great. Strongly recommend.

The best, authentic Italian meal I’ve had in the longest time. I am beyond pleased with my meal and the service. I *will* be coming back!
