Pane E Vino Ristorante — Restaurant in Mississauga

Walking back into Pane e Vino after so long felt like a true homecoming. It’s a journey that began back in 2013, when I first discovered this place through its parent company and quickly fell in love with their standout selection of sandwiches and salads. Life took me downtown, and for a while, I lost the chance to visit—but the memory of this place always stayed with me. Returning recently was a moment of truth. My first question was whether it could possibly be as good as I remembered, especially with the news of new ownership. And to my great relief, I was greeted with the same warmth and quality I'd cherished. The new owners have done more than just keep the doors open; they’ve upheld the very essence of what made this place special. The standards are just as high, and the consistency I remember is perfectly intact. The true test, of course, was my old favourite: the roast beef (veal piccante) sandwich. I’m happy to report that it remains every bit as tasty, filling, and satisfying as it ever was. It’s more than just a dish; it’s a delicious anchor that connects the past to the present.

The friendly service and consistently clean dining room are still key parts of the experience, proving that the heart of Pane e Vino beats just as strong as it did on day one. It’s wonderful to see that some places can endure, not just in memory, but in...

Stumbled across this place and decided to try it. What a mistake. Here were the problems in order: 1. They were not friendly or welcoming. 2. Their prices are high - especially once you see the quality of the food and the portion size. $15 for a small bowl of pasta and a piece of focaccia is acceptable, if, and only if, the pasta and bread are good. Neither were. 3. Their ‘machine’ asks for a tip. For what? It’s take out. I really get disappointed and turned off when places do this. 4. The food. All of you who have read my reviews know my number one issue is this: is the food good? I will pay pretty much anything for good grub. I also can overlook a lot - bad service, atmosphere, etc. The pasta here for $15 bucks plus tax was horrible. I exaggerate not. The sauce was gluey and shameful. The bread was dry, cold, and worst of all, the guy working there had no gloves on and was touching his face, wiping his hand over his nose, and handling sandwiches and cheese. Unacceptable by any standard. ...

I’ve been here several times pre COVID and I thought it was good generally then.

My last visit ~ not so much. The soup was just over half full and when I asked the staff about it she said it was “full”. Clearly it was not. Change your bowls then because that is just a bad look.

I normally get the sandwich which seems to be something they do well but made the mistake of getting the pasta. It was a sticky sloppy sauce and over cooked penne.

I just didn’t get a vibe of friendliness or appreciation.

If you want great value in a pasta take out place with super nice people who are invested in the business check out “The Pasta Corner” at 438 Gibraltar dr Mississauga. You will experience old school customer service that is very rare to find anymore. They are a family run unit and I’ve been going there for many years. I see lots of...
