Message from Ristorante Panorama

Ristorante Panorama

Authentic Italian cuisine and a world-class wine bar.

  • World Class Wine Bar
  • Banquet Rooms
  • Over 120 Wines by the Glass

Ristorante Panorama features contemporary authentic Italian cuisine with influence that leans toward the Northern Italian region and features homemade pastas, authentic veal dishes, and fresh seafood specialties. The restaurant is located on the lobby level of the Penn's View Hotel in Old City Philadelphia.

The central focus is on the unique wine bar, with its custom-built, 120-bottle wine keeper. It is their mission to incorporate the full potential of an extensive "by the glass" wine system into an unforgettable dining and tasting experience for each guest.

Editorial Review for Ristorante Panorama – by Abigail Marceluk

In Short
Warm terra-cotta tones, stained-glass windows and a full wall mural give the feel of an Italian villa. Penn's View Inn guests and scene-seeking oneophiles pack the three large dining rooms and wine bar where a custom-made cruvinet system serves 150 wines by the glass. The food menu is smaller than the wine list, featuring grilled romaine salad, lobster and ricotta tortelloni and beef braciola, thin fillets wrapped around vegetables and cheese..

My husband and I went to enjoy our first night out as new parents on Saturday September 29th and decided upon Restaurant Panorama. Much to our surprise we were extremely disappointed. After we were seated it took an extremely long time for anyone to come over to take our beverage orders. Once our beverage orders were taken we also gave our dinner order considering how long it took. We waited about 10-15 mins when our appetizers came out before our wine flights? Our silverware was taken away after our appetizers and my husband and I had to eat with our dessert forks and one knife? Our waitress never came over to see how we were doing at any point. In my opinion part of going out and enjoying a good meal when spending over 200 dollars for two is stellar service. The experience we had at your restaurant on Saturday night was horrible and I can truly say that I will never recommend or choose to spend my money at your restaurant in the future.

Pros: Great Wine List

Cons: Horrible Service

The food was good, but nothing special and the service was absolutely terrible. Our waitress looked like it was 5AM and we had just woken her up from a sound sleep. Not to mention she messed uo our bill in the end. Go to sit at the bar and you will be happy.

Pros: atmosphere, wine

Cons: service, food
