Panevino - Reading

I booked a wedding there a week ago this is just my experience.While touring and looking for a venue I really saw the potential and got a great feel for it. The actual execution of the day was average. Not the best and not the worst. It was advertised that the bridal suite would have mimosas. I didn’t have any bridesmaids but my daughter, mom, grandma, and wedding planner were with me in the bridal suite. We just wanted water but it was very hard to get even though it’s advertised as to have the mimosas included. The bartender said she knew nothing about it. It was really hot. I was sweating and so were the guests. Throughout the night I had to keep going up and asking for the next thing on the itinerary to be done such as dinner and cake cutting. The staff felt lifeless except for the two bartenders.At the end of the night there were confetti balloons that were popped and the confetti left on the floor from an independent decorator separate from the wedding planner. The guy in charge verbally attacked the wedding planner as she was the only one still there. She had explained that it wasn’t her responsibility bc it wasn’t. It was the decorator that should have cleaned up. He called me and left me a voicemail cursing me out. I still have it as proof. I called back and he immediately began yelling and cursing. I literally had to talk him down. I apologized for the confetti and it was cleaned up by the wedding planner. I would never recommend anyone to give there business to a place so willing to turn to violence at the first second of an issue arising.Pros: decently priced, bridal suite available, set up and tear down for you, open bar, bartenders were professional and fun, gives you time to set up anything personal beforehandCons: Food was tasteless, some soggy, and some overcooked, unorganized staff, not willing to take wrinkles out of the table cloths, hot, difficult to work with, and person in charge verbally attacked myself and the wedding planner to the point that other people had to step in

My husband and I were at the Valentine’s Dinner last evening and we had a wonderful time. The food and wine was amazing. We will definitely go back!

First off let me say sorry this is so super late as my husband and I just passed our 1 yr wedding anniversary. Special Occasions by Panevino should be the only place you consider catering your event. Dave was phenomenal in helping walk us through every little detail we needed for our day including things I wouldn't have thought to think of myself. My husband and I can't thank him, and his team at the restaurant for helping our wedding at the museum go off without a hitch. I didn't have to worry about a thing once we had a list of what we wanted, a few items delivered to them from us, and they did the rest. From set up the day before to being with us through the entire event, I couldn't have asked for better food and service for us and our guests. Everyone loved it and I highly recommend their business to anyone looking into catering. Thank you so so much Dave and the rest of the team!

Worst restaurant in the Reading area , they sold us gift cards knowing they only do catering they don’t respond back when you email or call an the one time I got ahold of someone they got an attitude when I told them about selling us gift cards that won’t work. Basically they scam i can only imagine how many people they got with this scam cause I read other reviews with people having the same experiences

Our food was great. The service was good. Plenty of parking. Nice bathrooms. Excellent venue for events or special occasions. The chairs in the dining room were very uncomfortable for me, sitting on hard wood without any cushioning or shaping.
