This was the second time dining here in two weeks and everything was great. This last time I had the bronzino and my friend had salmon and both were tasty. I highly recommend La Panetteria.

We've been fans of La Panetteria for years. Our most recent visit was phenomenal. The food was excellent, particularly the muscles on the apps menu and the poached pear for dessert. Great place for a date night!
