  Such a cute place!
  
  It's really intimate and always busy but it was great.
  The food was amazing. I got the seafood pasta and everything was super fresh and the pasta was amazing.
  My partner got the chicken Parmesan and I almost ate all his food it was so crunchy and fresh.
  
  The wine options were really good and they suggested wines based on our food.
  They have a really good sangria!

  Just like all the other restaurants in little Italy, Panza is just as small as any other restaurant. Note: you will probably be closer than expected to your neighbor. Luckily, you CAN make reservations here! I had the Lobster Ravioli, which was magically cheesy and cooked to al dente.
  
  ALL Italian food is heavy on the carbs, so don't expect to leave here without feeling stuffed!

  Overall: skip this and walk across the street to The Daily Catch or Giacommos
  
  Food: I had the house salad and it was literally field greens, no cucumber, no onion, no tomato, nothing, literally field greens
  Linguini alla pescatore did NOT have shrimp as advertised on the menu!! It was watery and oily
  Service: that poor girl was serving the whole restaurant. Cheap owners. She was slow and I didn't get everything I asked for
  
  WILL NOT BE BACK

  Looked this place up visiting from out of town for work and was a good spot to try. I was thankful we made a reservation as it was packed. Small intimate place, tables are close to each other. The restaurant was loud so it made hard for conversation - small space so jus Floyd conversations. We started our dinner with the burata appetizer. Good burata, not the best I've had. I ordered the gnocchi with bolognese for dinner with a heaping pour of San Giovese wine. The gnocchi would good, nothing out of this world, but was a good dish. All portions are rather big, they don't call it panza (stomach) for small portions, that's for sure!

  A friend and I went on a Saturday night with a reservation and still waited about 20 minutes to be seated. I usually don't mind waiting a bit but there is no waiting area in the restaurant so it made it uncomfortable to stand around being very close to others waiting for their table.
  
  The restaurant is tiny so you'll be seated very close to others, I was fine with it.
  
  We ordered:
  
  Appetizer: Meatball and garlic bread. Both good, tasted very homemade!
  
  Entree:
  - seafood linguini in white wine sauce. Delicious! I will order next time!
  
  - lobster ravioli - very good but I enjoyed the linguini better. It's also heavy on the mustard grains fyi.
  
  Overall it was a delicious meal with very FAIR prices and great service! Definitely a great spot to go to if you're looking for a pleasant and classic north end experience. I'll definitely be back!
