• Italian • Livingston

Panevino comes from the Italian words “pane e vino”, bread and wine, the essentials of life. Our working herb garden, rustic décor, wood-burning pizza oven, and a beautiful outdoor patio are just part of what makes Panevino a special place to eat. Caputo flour imported from Italy, San Marzano tomatoes, handmade fior di latte mozzarella, and water from a local spring just like the ones in Italy's Campania region make our pizza as authentic and delicious as the pies found in Naples. Our Livingston restaurant also offers savory pastas (and gluten free pasta!), fresh seafood, delicious salads, sensational antipasti and pizza delivery. Our two outdoor bocce ball courts are also a great way to have fun in the sun! Serving the area for 30 years, we are proud to be known as one of the best Italian restaurants in NJ.

Maria Filippodis, the owner, and her staff go out of their way to greet each customer and make them feel like family. The decor lets you practice Greek and take photos of islands you may have visited while being tasteful and elegant. The top-notch food makes you feel as if your yiayia cooked it herself. I'm unsure when Maria has time to bake all the desserts, but she does so with great love and joy. The portokalopita was served warm as they sang Happy Birthday to me in English and Greek.
