Panza Restaurant Review

 

Been searching for a good Italian pasta restaurant that is not too pricey. Came across Panze through its high ratings. 

The Food 

We ordered Beef & Veal Tortelloni and Tarragon Fettuccini & Grilled Lobster Tails. 
The Beef & Veal Tortelloni taste good, but the pasta is not as good as I had imagined. The pasta were pre-made I assumed, I wish the tortelloni taste more not like those frozen pasta or maybe it should taste like those frozen pasta. Im not an expert on pasta but was expecting something different given it's rating. However, the sauce is a good and i am a mushroom lover. 

The Tarragon fettuccini is their most famous dish, according to the waiter that served us. The fettuccini is made, so it is a bit thick than the usual pasta. The fettucini was too thick for me though. The pasta sauce itself is something different, good different. The sauce was creamy with a light spice in it. I am surprised the amount of lobster in the dish were not little, they were generous with the amount. That is a PLUS! However, once you almost finished with the dish; you felt that it was too creamy for me. 

Atmosphere

The place is small and you can make a reservation. We were waiting for half an hour and I would suggest to make a reservation.

Service

The restaurant layout could be improved, it was a bit confusing when I entered the restaurant because no one was nearby the door. Given we came after the  new year, I understand it will be busy, but a waiter should signalled customer at the door. I was standing by the door for 10 mins before a waiter signalled me. However, the waiter who served us was nice and knowledgeable about the food. 

Overall Experience

I don't know if i am a fan yet, but I was not impressed at the beginning of the experience.
