Pleasant greeting, friendly service. Good sandwich with side of very well-seasoned cubed potatoes or fries. Reuben Rustica was excellent. Prosciutto sandwich was tasty but sparse amount of prosciutto that was overwhelmed with flavor of goat cheese. Cubed potatoes on side were especially good. Also bought loaf of bread. Good crusty loaf.
I am an out of towner with a relative in Tampa. I/we have eaten at Pane many times (eat-in, takeout. its all great). The food is uniformly wonderful, from the baked goods to the pastas and everything in between. Everything is super fresh and house made. Recently we hosted a family gathering to celebrate a birthday. The owners, Kevin and Karyn along with members of their staff, including Carlos, Taylor and Dan could not have been better about making the day special. Whether you are by yourself or with a friend to eat at the bar, or in the dining room, or in their more private room for a bigger party, I cannot recommend Pane /Rustica enough. Mark
Panne Rustica is not only a gourmet restaurant but they have a bakery and bar. it is located in a strip mall near the Hyde Park neighborhood. be sure to make reservations in advance!! My wife had a gourmet salmon fish, my cousin a flatbread pizza and I had a truffle pasta. all fantastic. my cousin was amazed and said ,I have lived here all my life and you come in from Miami and take me to this fantastic, new place.
My mom, stepdad and I came here for dinner because off our hotel front desk. Pane Rustica makes their own butter and pastas and it does show on your taste buds. The food portions even for salads are huge. My mom and I spilt a Caesar salad. The staff are very friendly. I would definitely come here again.
This was my first tine here. My friends had been here before, and raved about the food. None of us was disappointed this time. We chose to sit in the bar area for full service. We could have ordered for ourselves in the main dining area, sitting at one of the tables or booths. Kayla took our orders - she was friendly and efficient. We had the Caesar salad (me), Chicken Salad Sandwich with potato salad (D) and Acorn Squash with House Made Chicken Salad. All looked as good as they tasted. We paid separately. Kayla handled all 3 bills expertly. By the way, Kayla and all staff were masked. Customers were masked, too. Hand sanitizer was at the door. Seating was also limited for social distancing. We’ll be back - and we’ll ask for Kayla!
Virtually all seating is indoors, so during the pandemic, take-out is prevalent and consequently can be slow. However, the food is good, portions are reasonable. Online menu does NOT list all the dishes, so best bet - pickup a menu before you order.
One of the top local restaurants in Tampa. Quality and excellence always seems to be top of mind for them. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t.
I love this spot. At least once a week I get their Roast Beef on Tomato bread. The pizza and pasta is excellent as well.
We tried Pane Rustica Due’s panini with mozzarella and tomatoes. The combination of mozzarella, tomato, basil & Italian bread is one of my favorites, and this panini did not disappoint! From the picture, you can see it was overflowing with ingredients – and flavor. My husband really liked it – and he isn’t usually a fan of vegetarian sandwiches (so you know it was REALLY good). We have also tried their Spinach Ravioli, which was good, but given all the other options I would probably not order it again.
There is a plethora of tempting items on the menu but I was just feeling like a burger so I ordered the wood grilles burger. What an excellent choice that turned out to be! Hamburgers can be quite simple but this was delicious. Can’t wait to return and try some of the other dishes
