Panzini Restaurant & Bar in Milton Keynes

My wife and I visited the family run Panzini Restaurant for the first time yesterday evening. On arrival we received a warm welcome and on taking our seats, were given a helpful explanation of the menu. Almost all the main courses have a gluten free version, which was terrific for my gf wife. However there was only one gf dessert option that wasn't gelato (albeit my wife did love the souffle). The food is tasty and very filling, and although the Italian craft beer is a delight, I thought it may be nice to have a draft beer option too. In summary the restaurant has a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, good food and drinks, with prompt and friendly service. Recommended!

Had a Great Experience at Panzini's , staff very friendly and helpful, Best thing for me is they do GLUTEN FREE, going to a restaurant having more than one option is so so nice, SOOO nice that you cannot decide :), thankfully a good choice was chosen for me by the owners and was scrummy, Will Definitely be returning, was well worth the hours drive. Thank you for an enjoyable Panzini experience x Sharon & Tony

Amazing service, great food. Felt like I was on holiday- lovely place.

Good food for something different from the usual burgers.

Such a personal friendly service, lovely atmosphere and the most wonderful food at this family run restaurant. The staff really know their food and their menu. Thank you Gianluca for your warm welcome.

Fantastic food and very unique. Worth speaking out

A lovely authentic Italian bar serving mainly Panzini (similar to a calzone but much thinner and lighter dough) which was delicious.They also had lasagne and a special of arancini. Everything was freshly cooked with fresh ingredients. A great atmosphere and service, will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. I’m

Great interesting menu. We had takeout. Caters for vegan and vegetarian. Yum

Excellent food, superb service and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Incredible food with great service would definitely recommend to friends and family

The best homemade Italian food I have had

Without doubt the best in mk forget about anything else

Lovely little place. We had intended to go next door but this one looked nicer when we got to the door and we were happy with the choice Service and food was excellent. Only thing dropping the atmosphere stars to 4 was the rather intrusive radio music playing too loudly.

As regular visitors to Italy we were whisked back there from the minute we opened the door. The ambience and family welcome oozed Italy. The menu was a welcome change from trad pasta and pizza. I could have easily chose 3 dishes., and I wasn't disappointed with my choice as was my wife.with hers. Even our choice of drinks took us back to our visits abroad. We quickly became part of the cultural feel as we tucked into our generous sized portions. For £30 each we had a drink, a main, a side and a sweet great value for money and the taste was truly authentic. We have already thought about our next visit. LikeReport

Loved the food and the warm welcome. Highly recommended.

Lovely surprise in Bletchley, innovative family run Italian. The panzinis are delicious, service is great and nice clean restaurant.

Really nice restaurant serving something a bit different. A panzini is a wonderful thing, and they have many variations, plus a few mainstream Italian dishes. Good beer and wine, friendly service, fair prices: all in all a mightily pleasant lunch.

The lasagne at Panzini Restaurant is delicious. It has layers of soft pasta, rich meat sauce, creamy cheese, and a tasty béchamel. The flavours are perfectly balanced, and it’s served hot and comforting. A great choice for anyone craving a classic Italian dish!

As soon as you walk in, you are struck by the very welcoming feel of the place - a great atmosphere. Staff are really friendly, polite and attentive so the service was excellent. The food was delicious - the panzini's tasted absolutely amazing and the homemade slaw on the side was zingy and fresh alongside the panzini and fries, so everything on the plate complemented each other. We enjoyed everything about our evening here. I will be recommending to friends and family, and I myself will look forward to our next visit.

Wicked little venue! Been wanting to try Panzini for ages and we were not disappointed. Got a genuine authentic feel and vibe about it. This is a little gem of a place! Go there!

My first visit and will definitely be back. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Gorgeous place, the food was amazing and service was top notch. A really massive thank you for making it a lovely evening. Highly recommend you guys to anyone looking for a lovely lunch or evening meal :)

Fantastic! What a find. Wonderful time with lovely food, great service and relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

As always the food was incredible, and the service is fantastic. The best family run restaurant in Milton Keynes by far.

Drove over an hour to this restaurant to meet family who live in London, as it's roughly half way. The food and service was so good, I'd happily drive here any time to eat here. There's a good reason why this restaurant has so many 5* reviews ... The food is absolutely amazing and the service was top notch. Handy for visiting Bletchley Park too. Go ... You won't be disappointed.

Friendly, great atmosphere and good food.

Good family owned restaurant. They have a unique take on the calzone, which forms the bulk of their menu.

Great food and super friendly staff 😊

Quality of the food and drinks was excellent. Service was spot on as well

Our first visit to Panzini. What a wonderful, friendly restaurant with excellent food and service. Never having tried a Panzini, it was explained to us and was something completely different. I actually had pasta which was delicious. The desserts are to die for, so leave room! Lovely atmosphere on a Saturday night. A gem of a restaurant which I have driven past every day but wasn’t aware of it. I will definitely go back.

Great Atmosphere, Fab Staff, but most of all freshly made & cooked, authentic Italian food - absolutely superb

Friendly, cosy place with delicious food and wine (and Italian TV!). What more could you ask for?

We love visiting Panzini's restaurant but tonight ordered in. We got a gluten free panzini for one of our guests and she loved it. The food was presented nicely in the delivery box.

First time and totally wonderful meal. Great taste and atmosphere. Friendly staff, great time, thank you

A real experience and delicious concept really yummy! Great service with a warm welcome 😁

Mushroom ravioli special was very tasty. Could have eaten twice as much! They kept the aperol spritz flowing

I ate here for the first time yesterday with some mates. Really impressed with the service and food quality. Great flavour from the Panzini Classico, fries with oregano, slaw and a side of onion rings. Couple of Peroni Red Bottles to complete the meal and a Chocolate Souffle with Vanilla ice cream to finish. Great atmosphere and really polite staff. Highly recommended for an honest and unpretentious meal out.

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we entered the restaurant. The service was superb and the food was excellent and quite different from lots of other Italian restaurants.

Stopped by for an evening meal after visiting Bletchley Park. Well I am so glad we did. Lovely family restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The food was very good. I think we were lucky to get in, so I would definitely book next time to avoid disappointment. Molto bene

Food and service super however we were fortunate on our visit to have a large party next to us and as it’s so open plan the noise was so loud we could not hear ourselves talk which meant we left earlier than we would have.

My family came here to celebrate a 13th birthday. All 15 of us (7 children) had a lovely evening. The food is great and the service is efficient and very friendly. We will be back and I highly recommend it.

Amazing food and great service x

Had an amazing time at Panzini Brilliant food and even better service Tiramisu was to die for 😍

Delicious food and amazing service. Perfect for tiramisu lovers

Amazing food. Worth the short walk after visiting Bletchley Park. Great service and fresh ingredients.

Amazing food. My favourite place to eat in Milton Keynes

Wow, The Panzini are something else! So delicious and fresh, all with amazing flavours. You really won’t be disappointed with a visit here. Definitely one of MK’s hidden gems.

Food was soooo delicious 😋 I truly recommend this place 💙

Every aspect is excellent; service, quality, price

Food is excellent, really well made with fresh ingredients. Relaxed friendly welcoming environment, all the staff very helpful and kind. It was my daughter's birthday and they surprisingly served a little cake with a candle on the top, wishing her Happy birthday 🎈🎂 Highly recommend

Deserves a high rating, food is good and we got a great welcome. The unisex toilet is worth a mention as it contains what appears to be a baptismal font for a hand washing basin. Quite surprising.

We are frequent visitors of this restaurant, having been here three times already. The food and service have been nothing short of exceptional on each occasion. Just great

Had lunch on a quiet weekday,a Panzini. Food and service were great . Loved the sauces that were brought to the table . Atmosphere very Italian. Able to pay online at table.

We had dinner at your restaurant yesterday and had such a great time! The food was amazing, and I just wanted to give a special shoutout to John Luca. He greeted us with a big smile and was super helpful and patient throughout the service. He really made our visit even better. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Great place to have a delicious Panzini, very tasteful and not available anywhere else! Staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. I just love it and I totally recommend it.

Me and my husband went out for a dinner and wanted to try out something new. We love Italian food, so we chose Panzini. We were running late, but they were really kind and understanding. It was extremely friendly service and amazing food. Plus they have great wines and crafted beers. I would recommend for everyone 😊.

Food absolutely delicious, enjoyed by all the family, staff are so friendly, will be back 😀

We live local and hadn’t visited before. We really missed out as the restaurant is fantastic. Everything on the menu looked great, food tasted amazing and the service was brilliant. Will definitely be back soon.

We had a fantastic evening at Panzini. The service was excellent and we were given some great recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious and really top quality. We'll definitely be back soon.

Delicious food and friendly service, highly recommend!

Good was amazing as always and super hot. Never disappointed with the food quality or taste.

Fantastic food, unusual but really enjoyed!

The food is amazing, the space is unique and feels like a family restaurant

An amazing lunch! We came here for our anniversary lunch and was recommended the panzinis which were amazing. My husband had the Panzinis Classic and I had the Gallon Nero. Gianluca was a great host and recommended some great treats. Will definitely come back and will recommend this restaurant to our friends and family.

Food is excellent, simple but really well made, relaxed friendly welcoming environment, excellent wine, everything, that chains and large organisation have become, this place is the opposite, thankfully.... perfect ambience end to the week of intense corporate bs, switch off and try it..

What a little gem! Booked based on other Google reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Wonderful from start to finish. Great food and lovely service. Panzini is outstanding and very attentive staff who my Dad ( also Italian) loved chatting to. Very authentic atmosphere with gorgeous Italian decor and music. I’m coming back with my family ♥️

Such a lovely place and best chips I’ve ever had!

They have created something new and I enjoyed. Panzini is very crunchy and well filled. The canoli desert was delicious. Pretty clean and friendly service.

Amazing food! Will definitely be back!

Came here for the first time today and we were really impressed! The staff are lovely, the food was really tasty (definitely won’t be my last panzini) and the restaurant is spot on.

Fabulous evening with great friends and a fabulous atmosphere. Beautiful food for every course!

A most wonderful and friendly atmosphere. Food is delicious and service is outstanding. Will definitely come here again!

Wonderful find! Delicious Panzinis

Delicious food, lovely friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere, fair price. SUPER RECOMMEND will definitely come back 👍🏼🇮🇹

Quality restaurant! Deffo making this a regular night out

Lovely friendly atmosphere, with quality food. Panzinis are so tasty! The italian desserts are delicious, and the genuine Italian beer is recommended.

We had a lovely lunch here. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back soon

Went to this place nearly by accident after a full day at the nearby safari with the kids, and how lucky...the atmosphere made us feel like being back home except that their Panzini were a novelty for us. And what an idea! We all loved them. Kids literally devoured their "Bambini panzini". I loved my "Panzini Pasqualina" and my wife was very happy with her vegetarian "Panzini Bella Capra". Also, they have a huge selection of Italian beers and liquors...The staff is very warm and friendly (true Italians!). You can't fault them! I just wish they were closer to us but I'm sure we'll see them in London soon!

Great food,,and service. Limited menu. Will visit again.

The food is freshly made in-house, it is delicious and original! The portion sizes are just right and there's a fabulous range of beers and good wine selection. The service is super, we had a lovely experience 😀

the food is delicious, hot and juicy! the service is fantastic, definitely will come again

I come here often & it’s always so delicious. Everything is so fresh and every ingredient compliments every dish! We had the potato croquettes starter (special) and they were amazing! The calamari and special panini were so yummy! Recommend to everyone, even if you are not local it’s worth travelling :)

Surprisingly tasty Panzini 😋 Superior service 🥳 Kids friendly 😎 Bravo 👏🏻

Amazing food amazing atmosphere definitely come again!!! Try the Frangelico and the Spritz 😉

Great food and service - first time here and will definitely be coming back!

Amazing ! The best Italian restaurant of MK!

Brilliant, fabulous fresh food. Fabulous friendly staff who went out of their way for my mums birthday, thank you so much. This is out second visit an we certainly will be back.

Delicious food. Delivered on time and hot

Fantastic place with a real authentic Italian feel. Highly recommend

Good food. Excellent service with friendly staff. Good value for money.

Great service, relaxed dining experience and lovely food.

Really tasty food and excellent service

First time visit and extremely lovely food, if you haven't had a panzini before you need to try

The unusual Panzini food is fabulous. Very Italian but totally different. Good value as well. Thoroughly recommend a visit!

A brilliant restaurant with a very original menu item with the Panzini, food is such good quality and something to suit everyone! Always brilliant service whenever we visit and can’t recommend it enough.

Well worth a visit great food, we will be back.

Great food and service! Panzini captures the essence of Italy both in its ambiance and on the plate. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back :)
