Pane & Vino in Birmingham

We came here for Mother's Day and the food was wonderful! The "real carbonara" was excellent, with crispy pork cheek that was melt-in-the-mouth. A fantastic range of specials on offer, all explained in detail by the passionate waiter. Would very happily come here again!

Excellent food! Great service. Little secret wonder this place ( I feel not for very long though)

Amazing food from an independent store in Erdington. Flavour and quality are top notch! Highly recommended to visit and try the garlic bun! yum x Their food are home made and cooked with love and passion x

Went for lunch with the wife and son after a lot of recommendations from friends. Wow what a place, food is really good as the service. The place is small but the chef have a big heart. All made from scratch and from fresh ingredients Highly recommended. Definitely will come back

Totally authentic. Clear passion for excellent Italian cuisine.

This place has better food than when I went to south Italy - it’s truly incredible. The service is also personal and geniunely charming. The only thing that lets it down is it’s cramped and just not a great unit for a restaurant of this kind. The food is so good that I’d go to a war zone for it. Certain people would get very sniffy about the rooms feel and decore so I do think that’s worth mentioning. It’s a diamond in the rough and theres a bright future ahead for them

Fantastic family lunch here today - all the food was top notch and the service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Amazing food & hosts !! Will be back when I’m back in Birmingham!

Good menu, great food, good service. Accommodated our children really well. Invited my son to watch his pizza being made.

Always fantastic food, atmosphere and service, and being just at the bottom of the road we live on is fab. They always squeeze us in, no matter how short notice. We love it.

The food, service, and atmosphere is amazing. Look forward to trying more of the menu next time! :)

An unlikely gem with delicious homemade breads and pasta with authentic recipes. The truffle and porcini fettuccine was delicious.

Such a massive recommendation! Please consider Pane & Vino before other restaurants you find on social media! The dishes were full of flavour, you can definitely taste the love from the chefs who are originally from Italy. Massive difference to the pastas you find in big restaurant chains. Our waiter Adyan, provided us with outstanding service and showed his extensive knowledge through service and recommendations. I recommend to book beforehand, as the restaurant is tiny. Whether you see this as good or bad thing, you are still guaranteed full attention and service from the restaurant We had: Truffle Fettuccine, Gnocchi Gorgonzola, Aubergine Parmigiana and something else I cannot remember

Exceptional handmade pasta, highly recommended

This was my 2nd visit to Pane & Vino. The food is lovely and all freshly prepared. I had the arancini to start followed by spaghetti with clams. Both were delicious. My husband had the Porcetta which he loved. We shared a Tiramisu but left it as it was dry and the cream in it was sour. Overall the food is good and reasonably priced. A gem of a place.

Local gem. Great specials which give so much variety to the classics.

Very good service with excellent attention to detail. Food well presented and well seasoned. The specials are at a good price and the wines menu has great variety. Nice truffles to pair up with any dishes. My favourite location. Hope all good for the upcoming future.

1st time visit for a birthday meal everything was spot on definitely recommend this place

Real Italian cuisine! Dishes prepared on site are fresh with an original taste. You will feel like in Italy. A chef with many years of experience who prepares dishes with passion and love. The best Italian cuisine! We come back regularly:)

So having looked at some reviews, I am not sure whats going on here as looking at the building the foods needs to be specular. Unfortunately it was not and can only be described in one word Dreadful..... Ref your Reply as for your response I never finished my main corse and also did not have desert, I was also not asked if everything was ok so please respond truthfully

There are so many reasons why this is one of, if not the best, bistro or restaurant in the area. The menu is unique, fresh and refreshing. If you haven’t been, you need to go (more than once!!).

Great food and service! Everything came out in great time, even when it was fully booked on a Saturday night. We will deffo be coming back!

Great and authentic Italian in Erdington love it

Food is very good, decor could be a bit warmer, bit cosier,

Beautiful food, the best calamari I've ever tasted. Felt like we were sitting in a restaurant that you find when you venture down the side streets of Venice! Definitely recommend 👌

A hidden gem food and service amazing do not come to Birmingham without trying here will 100% be back

Best restaurant so far. Great customer service. The food was outstanding. Highly recommended to everyone.

the food here is absolutely stunning! proper authentic Italian food. Our server Sandro was so friendly and helpful, he made our night even more special!

Incredible experience It feels like you have been teleported to Italy as soon as you step into the restaurant. The head chef is a gem of a person, super caring and extremely lovely, always welcomes you in with a big smile on his face. Me and my friends would always schedule our group dinners/lunches at pane e vino strictly due to how lovely and personable the service is. Unfortunately I can no longer visit the restaurant as I have moved countries but it’ll always have a special place in my heart for making me feel like home even when so far away from my home country!

The place is an absolute hidden gem, with true italian dishes and affordable prices! The service is also very good. Definitely recommend it

Lovely little cafe/restaurant, cosy atmosphere, great service and tasty Italian food

today me and my boyfriend went pane &vino my birthday food was so nice good steve and frances

Great food. Friendly atmosphere.

What a hidden Gem (almost don’t want to share) fabulous food, hot and fresh from the kitchen and a beautiful taste of traditional Italy. Waitress was great and full of knowledge of the food and very welcoming. Will definitely be returning

I was looking for somewhere different to celebrate my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary..we hadn't had Italian food in ages. What an absolute gem this restaurant is. The service and food was excellent. I loved the unassuming atmosphere. We will definitely come back and bring some friends.

Went here for the first time recently and the staff were very accomodating as we were running slightly late. The staff were great. The pizza was really nice and reminded me of Your Flamingo in Boldmere with the semolina crust. The pasta dish was lovely. Would definitely go back.

Our friend introduced us to this lovely restaurant. Food delicious.

Excellent food. Really authentic Itaian in the heart of Erdington. Great selection & passionate description of specials Very busy waitress does very well to look after everybody. A must try if you like italian food. Will be back.

Alomst unbelievable to find such wonderful and genuine Italian cuisine in this location!

Absolutely amazing ! Fantastic food, brilliant service. My new favourite restaurant can't wait to get back there.

Wonderful staff, Incredible food, Great atmosphere, I will definitely be booking again. 6 stars

pizza isn't worth £13. Nice staff

Amazing little restaurant around the corner! Love the new summer terrace, guys do amazing job on the menu and specialities 💜 Food and wine are the best, always come back for a burrata 👌

One of the best Italian restaurant outside Italy! I ordered their spaghetti alle vongole, i'm telling you its beyond my expectation! They use fresh pasta and other fresh ingredients you can tell that easily. Small nice local restaurant, the host was so friendly and show us wide knowledge of italian cuisine. I've been to varieties of Michelin Star restaurants but their warmth and approach to their clients was above and beyond. Love it, definitely come back soon!

What an amazing gem of a place. Food and service great and you can tell their knowledgeable of italian food, and passion for it, is contagious.

Excellent antipasti, subpar ribeye steak (overcooked in the usual English way) excellent espresso. The pasta and risotto enjoyed by the rest of our party looked amazing. Hope to visit again and choose more wisely.

First visit for a birthday celebration on recommendation. Have to say food was amazing although portions were a little on the small side for the price. Evening started off lovely however as the evening progressed with only one person serving we were left waiting. We asked for the dessert menu and instead of serving us another table of 7 that arrived were given attention. This annoyed us greatly. A friend asked if our birthday cake could be served as we were pressed for time and despite 3 reminders this was not served. We left very disappointed. Also once the other party arrived it was very crammed and a friend who has a disability found it very difficult to get out to go to the toilet. I wonder if the place meets H&S regulations? Pity really will not be returning anytime soon as evening was spoiled however food was excellent.

Have driven past this place several times and finally tried it today. I absolutely loved it; it’s small, quirky, authentic, proudly independent and the food was delicious. The service from our waitress was amazing too. It was such a refreshing change from all the disappointing chain restaurants and we all left feeling really happy at finding this little gem!

Great little restaurant! The food was amazing and the service was excellent; the server took time to go through all of the specials with us, in detail, which was really helpful. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lots of people have been talking about this place, thought we would give it a good. Food was so tasty, great value and the service spot on. We will be back!

Sunday lunch, food is exceptional in a charming small restaurant. The maitre d, is exceptionally helpful, explaining the differences in the food choices. Will definitely be teturning

Good evening, an amazing and familiar place ,with delicious food and polite staff...Thank you a lot for the unic memories 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🦶🦶

Great Alfresco dining experience with lovely Italian cuisine

Really nice experience. Second time here. The staff and service was immense.

Such an amazing restaurant! Serving the most authentic Italian food you can get outside of Italy, Pane & Vino constantly hit it out of the park with their dishes. Staff always go above and beyond to make sure guests are well looked after and are extremely friendly. Would highly recommend, even if you have to travel for it, it’s worth dining at Pane & Vino

The best carbonara and arrabiata ever. We were driving from London and stumbled upon this gem. What lovely service too.

Erdington hidden gem. There is no point to going to city center. We were all delighted not only with the delicious dishes but also with the friendly service and family atmosphere prevailing there.We will definitely be back soon

Friendly relaxed atmosphere and service. Well worth a visit. Varied menu.

An absolute gem of a restaurant, and I’m sure everyone will agree, in the least expected of areas. Small and intimate, good authentic, honest food. Quality of the wine, food and service this evening was incredible, and the price very reasonable, not a single negative thing to say. The waiter went above and beyond, he was very engaging and attentive. Would recommend and we will certainly be back soon. 10/10

Fantastic little Italian we encountered on our travels, we were seated right away with no booking and enthusiastically guided through the days specials with full explanations of each. The food was transcendent. Absolutely delicious and satisfying, authentic through and through, prices were reasonable also. A small place and not fancy but we all agreed a truly hidden gem.

Requested an immediate refund. Recommended from others, ordered takeaway however really disappointing, tried one bite and discarded. Won't be retuning, it's all long.

I know that at some point this restaurant was very good as I have had numerous recommendations including from my Italian family members. Sadly it appears this is a classic case of a restaurant becoming popular and as a result significantly reducing their standards. The experience was nothing but horrifying and frankly if I could have, I would have called the police. The bruschetta was £10 and as evidenced by the photograph it looked like it had been taken out of the bin. Putting lettuce on bruschetta is mind blowing but mouldy brown lettuce was quite literally the tip of the iceberg ! Bread was stale. Amatriciana was also inedible, pasta overdone, slimy, sauce was not fresh, pasta should be bucatini with this dish but if not possible then it at least would have been nice to have cooked the pasta used properly. Whether or not the Guanciale was in date is questionable and it was absolutely revolting. Could not eat it and had to request immediate refund. Avoid.

Beautiful food, lovely staff! Best meal I've had in AGES! Not rushed and homely!

the interior design is very Italian and the waiter is good

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Very cosy, friendly staff, food was excellent. A definite try.

Where do I start a very loud .overpriced .bad. Service .over rated dead loss I would not recommend to any one

The food is quite basic. Small portions for fairy big prices. We've had Arabiata and carbonara, for mains and few starters such as beef carpaccio and some focaccia which was very dry. I also ordered a glass of Aperol Spritz " cocktail" and got a wine glass of Aperol with a slice of dry orange. The service was quite unprofessional and very slow. The person who served us didn't bring cutlery, napkins or plates and was gone for good 19 mins so we ended up eating with our hands. We asked for the bill twice and nobody came out with the bill then my partner walked inside to pay and one of the waitress cane outside and start wiping the table I was still sitting at.... Overall very poor, if you've to a good Italian restaurant you won't be impressed here.

Visited tonight for a family birthday meal, what a lovely little gem for Erdington! The menu is small but perfectly crafted. Between us we had one of the daily specials and arancini to start, both of which were delightful. The mains were absolutely delicious, we had various pasta dishes (lasagna, nduja and guanciale) and the portion sizes were perfect. Aside from the tiniest of hiccups with one starter being missed (but it was soon brought out!) the service was wonderful. We're really looking forward to visiting again soon!

I have to be honest about this. I was really looking forward to going to this restaurant based on the reviews. Straight away on entering the premises the table layout is 6 people per table. You are literally sitting close to other diners. My daughter is a big girl and had to squeeze into her seating area. She was uncomfortable. The food for me wasn't for me fried and greasy breaded chicken and fries were tiny and greasy. My starter was the Arancine but it had vinegar with it and I didn't enjoy it. Customer service was great but Waiter serving 18 guests is a lot but he still maintained joviality. My daughter enjoyed all her food. We both had different experiences. Still a nice gem in Erdington and it's not in a bad location. Give it a try as it could be a different experience to mine.

I recommend it, delicious food and good service.

Very friendly staff, very tasty food and very warm atmosphere. Small piece of Italy 😊

The best thing in Erdington, great food, amazing chefs and staff Really recommend

Had a lovely lunch with a bottle of wine. The Chef went through all of the specials with us and the service was very good. Really enjoyed it.

Absolutely wonderful meal at Pane & Vino. Delicious food and amazing service. We will definitely be returning. Thank you! ☺️

Amazing food and friendly staff.

Small place, decent food, busy so you might want to book, friendly service.

Wonderful friendly atmosphere and the staff and food were amazing. Will definitely be going back

Lovely place. Very authentic Italian cuisine. Shame about the stale tiramisu but still 9/10

Fabulous snd delicious food, wine and service is excellent. A little gemof a restaurant. Recommend the aruncini, calamari, starters and the carbonara is to die for. Wonderful evening.

Excellent restaurant great staff fabulous food great evening. WELL DONE!

Having been in this eating place for the first time,I ordered spaghetti bolognese and the rest of my family ordered other different dishes; But ordered spaghetti Bol.. that’s is a challenge to itself ,the bolognese wasn’t wat it say ;only minced beef and pork decent taste lack of tomato cooked only with onion and carrots and same herbs, One bruschetta on top of tomato a pile of cos lettuce never seen before The overall food looked very anemic very flat And how can a spaghetti bolognese as a starter cost £11, when a very large chicken and chips is only £12 there is no comparison it was nice experience though Room very cold and apart the name on the door There is lots of space to improve at the moment as Italian they got only wine and the owners

Fantastic meal, food delicious. Best Panna Cotta ever had. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Would highly recommend this little Italian gem in Erdington.

This is such a wonderful place. A hidden gem. The food, atmosphere and especially the staff are amazing.

Food was unreal, staff were helpful and friendly, well worth a visit and not to expensive either

We ordered carbonara and we got something bitter that definitely is not carbonara and for the price is not worth it. We had to throw it and order somewhere else

I had been recommended this place so wanted to see for myself. We were greeted by the staff and shown to our table. This was a tiny table for two and the end of the restaurant. The waiter was very good at explaining the specials board. Within 5 minutes people started walking past us to what we now know was the toilets. It was constant. The view I had was of the stock room. There should be a door to divide this off. Also keeping all your stock by toilets doesn’t seem very hygienic. When our food arrived it was nicely presented. My friend had lasagna which she said was tasteless. I had pizza which was nothing special. We were offered the desert menu we said no and the waiter was pleading with us don’t you just want even one. Not sure if he was on commission . No we didn’t we couldn’t wait to get out.Once he knew we were not going to have one his persona completely changed. I am not sure how it has got such rave reviews as we were certainly not impressed and would not return

Wow! First time here tonight with my husband . From the moment we walked In impeccable Italian welcome and service The food was stunning. Definitely remaindered us of cosy trattoria we experienced in Rome. Cannot believe we have only just recovered this gem. Will definitely be going back. Thank you for this amazing night

This small restaurant is in a row of shops in Gravelly Lane. Parking is on the road or side street nearby Pleasant friendly welcome on arrival. There was a heater near our table which was very acceptable as it was a cold day Service was friendly but very slow - we were there 2 .30 hours which I consider rather long for lunch. Restaurant has approximately 26 covers and was not particularly busy The food was well presented and tasty although the pork dish was rather greasy for my personal choice. Prices were reasonable Sadly having been recommended to this restaurant we were somewhat disappointed but.. possibly worth a second visit as the menu has a good selection

How wonderful it is to be able to go out to dinner and be catapulted into Italy, while remaining in the UK! The Venetian prosecco, the Emilian fettuccine, the Sicilian cannoli and the limoncello at the end of the meal, what a tour of Italy you took me on! Thanks and see you soon 😉

This is a gem of a restaurant. Friendly staff with delicious food. Great place to relax with friends.

Wonderful food but the interior design could be improved especially the back room. For example..the sockets should not be at head height. The chair legs could have little socks to avoid noise.....

Great authentic food and very attentive service. Small cosy atmosphere. Ask for a table in main restaurant Can’t wait to go back

Authentic Italian food of excellent quality at a very reasonable price It is small and not particularly intimate but has its own charm I will be going again and definitely recommend

So I admit it is a small place and they are working with what they have got, but I don’t really want to be standing up from my table to let people by every 5 minutes. Took 35 minutes just to get our drinks and food ordered. Service was all over the place , I got asked how is every thing and we didn’t have any food or drinks to say if it was good. The only saving grace is the food, the pizza and garlic bread were spot on but that’s all I can really say. Wanted to love it but bad service and being very cramp let it down

First time visit off a recommendation, what a great find. The staff were amazing, attentive and obviously proud of their food. A typical trattoria you would expect to find in Italy. A concise menu of all the staples, plus a varied specials menu, great food!! We shall definitely return regularly. Thanks to Yasmin, front of house and Matteo and Kikay? in the kitchen.

My son who lives in Birmingham took us. The best I have tried in Italian cuisine. I have eaten in Italy and it is not always as good as here. The spectacular carbonara.

So lucky this is on my doorstep. The food is crazy good and authentic. The staff are all italian which is lovely to see. Portions are great too !!

Another fantastic meal at Pane and Vino. Hospitality exceptional. Explanations of the specials on offer a refreshing change to other places. If you think you've had good bruschetta with tomatoes.... you haven't tried theirs... it's elevated to another level! Treated like a friend. Wonderful. Thanks to the team.

I found out about this little gem on a news story about the opening of their sister restaurant at The Roundhouse, Birmingham. I was so excited to go! I visited yesterday and the staff member who greeted me (sorry, I didnt get your name) was so lovely, friendly and was a true advocate of the restaurant (and pasdionate about the place and food)! She ran through the menu and specials board with great detail and wonderful personal recommendations! I actually changed my choice of food based upon her recommendations and the food didn’t disappoint and was just delicious as she described! I also ordered food to take away to cook at home, it was just so lovely! I can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend!

Great service and very welcoming.
