Pasta, pizza, people – Pane e Vino

This iconic Italian eatery has been serving authentic pasta, great pizza, and incredible Italian desserts since 2008.

The restaurant has enjoyed great success largely due to the incredible hospitality Pane e Vino is well known for and the ever-evolving traditions of Italian regional cuisine inspired from Tito’s hometown of Vieste, Italy. Tito and his talented team are constantly innovating their authentic regionally inspired dishes.

Even in the face of a pandemic, staff shortages and soaring food prices, they have continued to offer delicious meals at affordable prices without comprising quality. They strive to source the best products locally and import ingredients at competitive prices.

They offer a range of homemade fresh pasta and source game meats for their special boards. Their signature dish, the homemade mushroom and Parmesan cheese served in creamy truffle sauce, is one of their most popular dishes, as is the classic beef lasagna.

When asked about Pane e Vino pizzas, Tito says, “Lots of people believe a pizza should be made just one way, cooked in a wood fire pizza oven, but at Pane e Vino what counts is dough making. The time, the care and proofing of the dough are what we look to the perfection every time.

"Due to the large orders of our pizza on 2019 we opened a successful ‘pizzeria’ in Kingsland and called 'CIAO BELLI' (503 New North Road). Our love for the pizza brought our eateries to make over 1200 standard pizza weekly and over 600 pizza for children which we deliver to our local primary and intermediate schools.”

Like many restaurants who have faced adversity during the past couple of years, Tito and his talented team have rolled up their sleeves, moving forward with determination and continued commitment to bring creativity to the dining experience and to offer the best service.

"At Pane e Vino every dinner you have, you get a 20% discount for the next dinner out. We appreciate customers who often come back for more", says Tito.
