For the wine flights and happy hour, this is an easy 5 star. For the food, its a 4, but I can't do a 4.5! So I went with the 4 since you will probably eat dinner.The ambiance is gorgeous, and the custom wine tap is worth seeing in and of itself. They have an amazing selection of wines and flights, and a generous happy hour. I tried a barbera d'alba but couldn't get the picture of the bottle. They don't give you wine out of a jug for happy hour, it is always a good selection every time I have been here.Now onto the food. I generally get a pasta dish, and have never been disappointed. This time we had the burrata to start, then we had the Homemade Pappardelle with duck ragù, and parmigiano cheese, and the rigatoni bolognese. The one gripe I have is that our entrees came not even 5 minutes after the burrata. I wasn't happy about that at all, and almost sent them back so they wouldn't be cold, but I didn't want to rock the boat on a first date (know what I mean fellas?). Make sure to have a reservation, as the place gets crowded, particularly on the weekends, as it is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Beautiful and intimate restaurant with dim lights. My friends and I were very excited to dine here for restaurant week since we've heard great things about this place. Beautiful restaurant, great service and good food. I'm not giving 5 stars because none of the food blew us away. I'd come back here, but I wouldn't reorder any of the same food. It was good but not great or memorable.We ordered:Pear salad (app)Chicken (entree)Rigatoni (entree)Tiramisu (dessert)Torta (dessert)The rigatoni was delicious and the best thing we tasted. My friend thinks it's the best or second best rigatoni dish she's ever had, which says a lot! Super rich flavors and a hearty meal. I ordered the chicken and it was beautifully cooked and juicy, but a bit boring and not enough mash potatoes. A really big piece of chicken and you definitely will be stuffed after eating it. We all agreed that the complimentary bread we received in the beginning was the same thing they used for the tiramisu and torta. It looked and tasted like it but we couldn't confirm. Each dessert tasted good with the added ice cream, but we couldn't get over the fact it looked like the same bread we received in the beginning.We also ordered the wine flight, which was fun and a cool experience. A bit pricey, but worth it! We ordered the red flight #802, which I would get again.

My partner and I went on a weekday around 9:00 pm and there was a crowd because the place was great! Delicious appetizers, and great wine tower options, and the main meals were decent. I love the personality of the place, feels very homey yet high-end. Our server was very polite and ensured everything was to our liking, it was only her 2nd day and she seemed like a pro. Of course, the only negative is the location makes it difficult to find parking, so we uber to this place. The price was reasonable, pastas between $27-34, entrees between $28-45, cocktails $16, and wine flights/towers between $34,-44, It was not a decent price for 2 people.

Not sure how I missed this place during my many food journeys in the city, but I stumbled upon it during Center City Restaurant Week and I wanted to try a new place for my birthday. I had a 5 pm reservation and upon arriving, I was seated promptly. I found Panorama to be a beautiful place. The dining room was elegant and not overly crowded at the time. I was greeted by a smiling waiter who asked if I wanted to try a drink. I opted for the Seasonal Sips Wine Flight. I believe the flight had 5 different wines. I don't remember the names, but I do know the Riesling was my favorite. Next up, the Restaurant Week 3 course dinner menu. The menu seemed to be confusing, however the waiter advised that I could chose an option from the appetizer section and another from the second course or just choose two from the second course option and end with dessert. So, I chose the caesar salad to start, with rigatoni for my second course and the ricotta cake for my dessert and final course. The caesar salad was FANTASTIC! It was one of the best salads I have ever eaten. The dressing had a lovely creamy texture and cheese taste I hadn't experienced before. The croutons seemed to be homemade as well. Up next, the rigatoni. Now, I could literally cut each noodle into 4s, so that should tell you how big they were. I loved how the bolognese sauce had the perfect combination of cheese, meat and sauce. Nothing was overpowering. The serving looked small, but was actually very healthy portion actually. I enjoyed the rigatoni course. Last, the ricotta cake. Now, I love ricotta and I love cake even more. So, when you combine these two things for me, I instantly fall in love. The ricotta cake was yummy, I just wished it was bigger. The size was small and the scoop of ice cream seemed even smaller. However, the cake itself was sooo good. I found it to be airy, light, not too sweet and simply good.I had to give Panorama a 4 star review bc there was no acknowledgment that we were there to celebrate a birthday. I mean, we did say in our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, but it was never acknowledged. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. The birthday hiccup was the only thing that didn't make my dining experience absolutely perfect.

Had a really positive experience at Panorama for restaurant week. Between me and my girlfriend we tried a number of different things and all of it was great:- Eggplant Parm (app)- Rigatoni (app)- Orechiette (meal)- Braciola (meal)- Tiramisu (dessert)- Torta di Ricotta (dessert)Of the items above, my favorites were the rigatoni with beef & veal bolognese and the torta di ricotta, but everything was excellent. The wine was good (if a bit expensive) and the service was friendly and attentive. Only real negative holding this back from a 5-star review would be the atmosphere - while classy and cool inside, the crowd was definitely a bit older and the environment was not quite as interesting or memorable as other places in the city. We also were sitting in kind of an awkward position in the middle of the two rooms, so that was not ideal.Overall really liked it here!

Made a reservation there and went in on time but still had to wait for the table for about half an hour.The did offer a complimentary champagne to try to make it up for us ,the food was mediocre at most, definitely not worth the wait if there's a line.

Can't believe I've never known about this place until now. Admittedly not a huge wine lover but this is a must try! The largest wine keeper in the world with over 150+ wines by the glass. We all ordered a flight, I got the "love bubbles" and we shared two appetizers- hen of the woods mushrooms and scallops both of which were delicious. Mushrooms were crispy with great meaty earthy? flavor and the scallops were cooked perfectly with a nice creamy sauce and mini potatoes. Will definitely have to come back for the happy hour as they offer half price flights on Friday and good amount of discounted apps and cocktails!

Really cute, really cozy restaurant, I came here for a birthday celebration with just one other person. I'm not sure it's big group friendly, but it can be group friendly. It's definitely good for a day or just friends who want a slightly more intimate setting as it is not loud. We had a reservation, but still had to wait. Almost 20 minutes to be seated. It wasn't a big deal and didn't Impax the reservation to me, but it could be an issue to someone else who is more pressed for time. I don't remember what the dish was called, but tiny round pasta, was not my fave. I did really enjoy the Bolognese and the desert and drinks. It's a pretty quiet/chill space and all of the staff are just the icing on the cake.

We went to dinner there last night and it was the beginning of restaurant week. We were given 4 restaurant week menu's and one regular menu . When we went to order , I was told since the three others at my table were ordering off the restaurant week menu that I had to as well . Which makes absolutely no sense at all . I would have spent more money if I ordered the way I wanted , which in turn our waiter would had made more money as well . Overall our food and drinks were good , but I felt as though we were a bother to the waiter .
