I was staying in Woodstock, VT for a long weekend with my fiancee and had made reservations far in advance for this restaurant. Many local lodgings had listed Osteria as a recommended place to dine, so I decided to trust the locals. Boy, am I glad I did! The restaurant isn't big. In fact, it probably can hold somewhere around... more

Last Saturday we lucked out and scored a last minute table at Pane e Salute. The restaurant is very tiny (maybe 8 tables) but very stylish, warm and cozy. My girlfriend and I both opted for the $42 pre-fixe dinner and we enjoyed all four of the courses. The service was VERY friendly and efficient, albeit a bit slow. But... more

I was so excited to go to Pane e Salute after reading all the press about this place and its owners. These two are dedicated foodies, visiting Italy frequently to brush up on the cuisine; growing vegetables....how can they serve such uninspired, flawed, food?! Starter: a prosciutto-like ham and local buffalo mozzarella. Ham was ok. The mozzarella was very cold... more

Food, service, wines, and the pacing of the evening were all perfect. We left (on a visit a year ago) completely delighted, in all respects, and are looking forward to returning a bit later this month. P&S is one of the best-thought-out restaurants we've seen in a long time. Servings are small (at our age, a good thing!) and individually... more

We ate recently at Pane e Salute and had an exceptional experience. The setting is cozy and lovely. We chose the prix fixe menu which is a wonderful way to sample the delicious, sophisticated food on offer here. We also asked Deirdre to suggest a wine, based on our food choices. She made an excellent suggestion that paired beautifully with... more

In June, 2008 we ate at Pane e Salute after reading some wonderful reviews of it. We were most disappointed. The portions are very small. My husband had an anchovy appetizer that had only 2 small anchovies on a toast round with another toast topped with 4 tiny pieces of arugula. Two bites and it was over. The menu is... more

On Saturday, we went to Pane e Salute Osteria for dinner. It really was the meal of a lifetime. We decided to have the fixed price menu (3 courses of our choice plus dessert). We asked Deirdre to do a by-the-glass wine pairing for us for the evening. . . really went all out. We had bread and organic Sicilian... more

We really enjoyed this chic restaurant. The dining room is tiny - make reservations. The decor is trendy and the food is haute cuisine. Wine list is extensive and our server advised us expertly on a great wine based on our tastes. The food is well thought out and the flavors complex. We went for the price fix menu and... more

This restaurant offers a great menu and wine selection. You may try any wine they have as long as you commit to purchasing 2 glasses. A great way to learn about Italian wines. Don't forget to make a reservation-it's a busy place. more
