I just noticed the restaraunt this weekend but didn't stop in. I didn't know if it was open yet. We did go to the old Portofino location that is now the No Sol Agua or something by that name. The food was pretty good.

They still have pasta on the menu, pizza as well. The Frutti de Mare is one of my favs.

From all of us here at Coffee's Haus
We just want to take this opportunity to thank you guys (Uwe & Lily) for everything you've done for us. You are amazing!
Grazie!
:) $17.95 usd each... We are located in Boulevard Benito Juarez by the railroad tracks. Do you know where the liquor store "El Crucero" is? at the end of the Plaza Cosmos.
Chef Luca..Thanks for the response. $17.95 is reasonable for that. Do I know where that liquor store is???? I practically live there.
Hope to see you in August.
I think you do, what about The Tequila Factory on the blue building on the Boulevard Benito Juarez... in front of that building but across the railroad tracks is located Pane e Vino... on the same plaza there is the pharmacy "Cosmos".
First visit last night. Hmmmmm what should I say....... First off the place is a little hard to see at night so don' t give up, it's right there, close to the RR crossing. Pull off Benito Juarez at the crossing as if you are going to Cosmos Farmacia, then turn right. There is a continuous row of 2 story offices/shops there on the left side of the drive and Pane Y Vino is at the end in that row on the first floor. The access road actually stops there at the plant nursery next to the restaurant so you can't drive further.
It's just the size I like in a restaurant, about 10 or 12 tables or less depending on how they arrange them. Seating for up to 10 or so people at one table so don't be afraid to bring the whole family or neighborhood !! Although I was not able to sit in a corner facing the door with my back to a wall as I prefer, I found it very comfortable. When I arrived, about 7 or so, there were people at 4 tables. Mostly or all locals, good for them. I was greeted very quickly by the lovely Karina and seated by one of the two crisply uniformed meseros. The menu is larger than I expected given the size of the restaurant. Nicely divided into categories, Mariscos, Carne, Pasta. Being starved for Italian food other than the megre fare I manage to cook myself, I didn't study the menu to long as Pasta a la Carbonara just jumped at me and set my stomach to growling. No Italian wine , yet, but I had an acceptable Merlot. Fresh Pane was served with the wine and tasty it was, oven baked rather than baguette style, garnished with some tasty spices and oil. I had a welcome interlude as Karina stopped to chat again and I introduced myself from this forum. She shrieked and told me to get out immediately, no no no I am making that up, she was very welcoming and friendly.
Pacing was perfect as after munching bread and half a glass of wine the salad arrived. The waiters were attentive but not hovering. The kitchen had slowed down a bit by then and Luca came to the table to greet me as I had lettuce stuck between my teeth. Another friendly greeting and expression of appreciation. The pasta was as it should always be, al dente, not overcooked. The sauce was bellisimo !! More Northern Italian style than Southern I think. The portion was generous and attractively served. Altogether a delicioius and much appreciated meal. Yes it met my hopes and expectations.
Roberto - Did they have Alfredo on the menu? (DH's favorite). What were the prices like. Thank you for the great directions - we drove by the other day and didn't spot it. Are they open for lunch? Thanks for your review.

Well, Since I did not plan on writing a review when I went and since I flipped when I saw Carbonara, I did not pay much attention to the rest of the menu so I am absolutely no help in answering you inquiry. Guess you will just have to toddle over there and enjoy yourself!!
went for the pasta special, as Roberto said carbonara was EXCELLENT however the gnocchi, marinara and pesto were equally good too, Alfredo, from old Black dog, was our waiter, for those who knows him you know then that the service was outstanding, Chef Luka and Karina came by a couple of times and all we could do was moan of satisfaction, the in house bread deeped in olive oil and balsamic glaze was awesome!!! WOW to the balsamic glaze!!!
The place is very nice and clean and the smells that come out of the kitchen are even better, next will be the zuppeta de pesci!!!
Chef Luka, Excellent work and thank you for making us feel welcome!! excelent experience all the way around, but the food WOW!!!
We ate there last night and I have to say WOW. The food, service and ambiance were just great. Chef Luca came by a number of times and I told him
we had learned of the place through this forum and specifically through Roberto. He said that he would put our meals on Roberto's tab. So, thanks Bob.
Ross had the Sea Bass and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both were excellent. The bread outstanding as was was the sample appetizer he gave us. Only
problem I had was deciding which entre to have. Next time I may have the Filet Gorgonzola or maybe the Lamb or maybe the Shrimp Jack Daniels.
Try it. If you like really good Italian food, you'll love it.
They tagged me in their Thanksgiving advertisment photo on FB... they are offering a turkey dinner with all the fixings for $19.95... the menu sounds kinda yummy...
