Panza - Crossing

This is one of the best meals I've had in a while! We got the calamari which was hands down the best calamari I've ever had! We also got the caprese salad and the fried tomatoes were to die for. We also got the linguine with clams with the white wine sauce and that was incredible! The restaurant had a super cute and intimate feel, it did take us a little to get seated and there was a long line out the door of people waiting. But overall I give Panza a 10/10!

Overall we did not have the best dining experience here. The food was good and the service was quick but there were others problems. First it was unbearably hot in the restaurant. Boston has been very hot over our trip and there was no air conditioning in the dining area. They had one large window open and a ceiling fan on low, with no breeze it was hotter in the restaurant than on the street. We would have left, but we were hungry and didn't want to wait at a different restaurant. We ate as quickly as possible and went somewhere cooler for a dink to cool down. Diners should also be aware that the menu prices are now about double what is posted on the menu here on open table, which I don't have a problem with as long as it is quality food, and it was with large portions. I would say I would give this restaurant another try if I am in town when it is cooler, but definitely not in the summer again.

It's a smaller restaurant with amazing food and service. However, keep in mind that it only has wine for alcohol. Not a full bar. Also, because it's small it's incredibly loud in the the restaurant especially with every table filled. I loved the food! I would recommend on a less busy night.

Our server was not friendly. The restaurant was very hot, AC was either broken or not on. Food was just OK. After leaving, we saw many other options that looked more appealing and authentic.

Wonderful, house made pastas with delicious sauces. I had the Free Form lasagna made with black pepper pasta sheets. So great! The seating is tight and the activity and noise level is high. But totally worth it.
