01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At PANEVIA, focaccia is more than a side: it is part of the meal. One visitor recalls being shown the dough before baking, then watching as the freshly baked bread was cut in front of them. They were told that the focaccia is made with less oil so it pairs well with the dishes. Enjoy it with butter, or try it with the sauce left on your plate. Another visitor noted the contrast between its crisp exterior and chewy centre. Rather than ordering focaccia on its own, this is a place to enjoy it alongside the food.
The dishes and pasta that follow the bread may bring together seafood and vegetables. On one visit, a straw-smoked bonito carpaccio came with a herb salad of sea grapes, coriander, red onion and other ingredients. The visitor found that the herbs added a fresh, relish-like note to the smokiness. A white aubergine peperonata paired the saltiness of capers with the texture of couscous fried with garlic. Visitors have also remarked on the unexpected combinations, which make use of seasonal and daily ingredients. For a more substantial pasta dish, reports of clam vongole and squid with basil may be useful. The clam sauce, made with a little tomato, was served with handmade lasagnette using Hokkaido wheat. The squid and basil pasta was made with fine tagliarini, using eggs from Oita and Hokkaido wheat; the visitor noted the richness of the egg and aroma of the wheat. These are dishes reported on specific visits, and the selection may change with the day's ingredients.
Wine is another option to enjoy with the meal. Visitors have paired their food with pét-nat, crémant and white wine, while another mentioned a selection that includes orange wine. Starting with sparkling wine and choosing a glass to go with the bread, starters and other dishes would suit the meal. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are also available.
This small restaurant has mainly counter seating, and visitors appreciate being able to watch the cooking while they eat. There are also tables, and dining in is available. It may suit diners who want to enjoy the preparation as well as the food, rather than those looking for a spacious dining room. Reservations are accepted, and booking is recommended for dinner.
