After reading positive reviews, I came to Pane E Vino after a show at the Dunk. It was midweek so we got seated right away, but after that everything went downhill...\r
\r
When the bread first came I was excited because it was extremely soft; that is until I bit in and found it was still dough. Next we ordered our wine and put in an order for the appetizer special- stuffed mozzarella and peppers in buffalo olive oil. After the waitress mistakenly poured our wine in the water glass, she returned with the wine in the wine glass, but no replacement water glass. 15 or 20 minutes went by and we still had no water. Eventually the appetizer arrived..several very wet slices of squishy mozzarella and 4 or 5 tiny peppers. The problem is we couldn't actually eat it since we still had our menus on our plates (and no water) since the waitress never took our entree order! After we finally ordered, we each had one bite of the appetizer and decided we were done. We found out when the check came that our two bites cost us $16! \r

By the time the entrees came, we were both already in a bad mood and not expecting much. As expected, her shrimp dish was just so so with her risotto cold and my chicken piccata was so covered in lemony sauce that I could only eat one of the two pieces.\r
\r
All in all, we left down $90 and wishing we had gone to Cassertas and grabbed a slice of pizza instead.
Pros: Vallet, Nice Atmosphere
Cons: Food, Service, Price
