Wonderful find. Excellent, interesting food prepared with originality and thoughtfulness. Intimate setting, personal service, delicious wines. Don't hesitate to ask Deidre for her advice on wine pairings. We wanted to eat here on a recent Saturday night, but the place was booked. After a few calls asking if there were any cancellations, we got a call back from the chef,... more

Had dinner here on June 28th with a reservation. Not sure why the reservation was needed as there were plenty of empty tables. We were given 2 very uncomfortable seats at the bar. We were handed the menus and they were terribly confusing. Once the waitress / owner / barkeep realized we weren't interested in ordering 1/2 glasses of wine... more

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
