This is the best Italian restaurant I've ever been in Westport. Amazing food, great service and helpful tips from staff... Pictures are the pumpkin ravioli which are just... Amazing ! And grilled mushrooms (funghi trefolati) which are delicious as well. Waiters and waitresses are very helpful, they take time to listen to your favorite products and advise accordingly! Special note for my favorite waitress and for Angelo, who are both great !

Diversified menu including well prepared and beautifully plated Italian classics, some of which are hard to find elsewhere. Service is attentive without being annoying. Make sure you save room for dessert - theirs are sinfully delicious.

Simply said, Angelo is a Gentlemen and the best host you could want. When you go into the restaurant, you truly feel like you are walking into Angelo's home. Besides being such a gracious host, the ambience is intimate, the food is very well done...classic yet creative and it is consistent in it's overall service. I truly enjoy eating here and I think you will as well.

Had a fabulous dinner this past Thursday night with my parents at Pane e Bene. My dad had Sea Bass, which was a special. My mom also had a special; Blackened Scallops and Shrimp, with Saffron Risotto. I had Cavatelli con Salsiccia, homemade cavatelli with Italian sweet sausages, mushrooms, and marinara sauce. So good. We shared the escargot and grilled calamari as appetizers. Brittany was our server, so friendly and knowledgeable about all of the dishes. My mom especially loved her Limoncello cocktail. Can't wait to go back!
