Review Pane E Vino Food&wine Bar - Stellenbosch

A great hidden gem in Stellenbosch for some delicious lunch. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are super friendly and helpful! Definitely come to this place if you’re not rushed for food and prefer a long catchup time with your friends/family.

In one word.. OUTSTANDING... I could write an entire article on the quality of this hidden gem. However I'll let you discover this remarkable establishment for yourself.. Truly an authentic Italian experience outside of Italy.

It was in the morning hungry and not even wanting to have anything home cooked. Walked out to the nearby shops and knowing that it was early got to this very beautiful place and I did not think they could help me with anything. Got in welcomed by a very warm smile got in and I asked for something to quench my thirst. A very well explained number of bottles of wine put in front and I said I am hungry before anything can I have some food. Thanks to the chef and her colleagues they made me a plate of food they did not look at how I presented myself they said they were helping the hungry man. I was so proud of them all and I say let us go eat where the people want us to enjoy and will not be looking at who you are or what you have. Thanks again lady do it to all and make sure you make the best of every plate of food you give to each customer. I am proud of you all. You made my day next time my friends and family will come join also. I am proud of the way you handled me and thanks for the beautiful dish you served me

When you walk through the doors to this little Italian Gem, it is like you have found a magical portal that transfers you straight to Tuscany! Freshly baked Focaccia with home blended olive oil, are served in baskets. Wine tasting or Grappa pairings are offered, as well as the full range of Dalla Cia wines and a very impressive list of Italian classics. Lunch is as traditional as sitting in Nona's kitchen and eating delicious dishes made from age old recipes handed down from Elena's family to her. This restaurant is unpretentious, but filled with true character and Italian tradition. You will often see wine making legend Giorgio Dalla Cia sitting at a table enjoying his daughter-in-law's cooking while enjoying a glass of Giorgio and ending off with a Caffe Coretto. This is truly the most authentic Italian restaurant you will find this side of the equator! A must visit when you are in Bosman's Crossing, Stellenbosch!

The best italian in the Western Cape. From the food to the service. Delicious.

If you are looking for a truly Italian restaurant then this is the place to go. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation because they are always full. The food is not on a menu but is written up on a Blackboard as it depends on what the local produce is what they prepare. The menu is written in Italian but the staff are very well prepared to explain to you exactly what each dish entails. I would not recommend this as a child friendly restaurant but most definitely for the more discerned patron that enjoys a very good plate of food accompnied by an excellent glass of wine. Giorgio and his son Goerge, the owners, can normally be found in the restaurant, and George's lovely wife runs a very tight ship in the kitchen. The restaurant is located right next door to Dalla Cia, where the offices and Distillery are housed and where award-winning Grappa is conjured from a very imaginative George

A little piece of Italy hidden away in Stellenbosch! Such a genuine menu that it had to be translated, & pasta meal that I have never heard of or tasted before, (with Italian sausage) yet not spicy at all, really tasty. If you want to experience Italy with no budget for airfare, this place is the best I've found so far 👏💫

Family style Italian cuisine of exceptional flavour and quality. The perfect experience for friends with order envy. Five dishes of fabulous food to share. Everyone was happy. Many thanks Georgio and Elena.

Best italian food since my visit to Italy's finest, from service and generous portions. Finest Italian wines, homemade grappa, handmade spaghetti and beautiful ingredients.

The best Italian food experience outside Italy.....in SA anyway!

We have enjoyed lunch here quite often, but not as often as we would have liked! Yet they always remember us, and what we ordered before. Such personal service is all too rare and very much appreciated. The food is fantastic - seasonal, authentic and prepared simply but with care and passion. The proprietor (Giorgio Dalla Cia) and family and friends are often in attendance, and he makes you feel more like a house guest than a paying customer. A true gem of a place.

It is a small, intimate Italian restaurant with great food and wine. The food is truly amazing. Great selection of wines. The atmosphere brings back memories of travelling Italy and eating and drinking wine for hours. Not a place to be rushed. Go enjoy a drive to Stellenbosch and have an awesome afternoon or evening.

Excellent, superb, absolutely authentically Italian deliciousness. The best food, best people, best vibe - a true taste of Italy. I will forever be in love. A definite must visit - you will not be disappointed.

An international flavour and vibe right here in Stellenbosch! Proper Italian food, flavoursome and well-prepared. Professional, yet relaxed ambience with waiters who know their job. Bookings seem to be advisable!

Fabulous service and delicous, authentic Italian food. So so good! Oh and the wine!!! 5 stars.

I enjoyed the authentic Italian vibe and tasty food. Great, friendly service too!

Nothing comes close to a Saturday lunch at Pane E Vino. If you haven't been here, you haven't had your best Italian food and Stellebosch wine experience yet.

Italian made pasta done to perfection. Amazing wine in offer. Owners come out for a chat with you and his wife the amazing chef
