Piazza Del Pane - Fresno

We were a group of six and unknowingly arrived 10 minutes before their kitchen closes. They were still friendly and served us without any complaints. I totally love the salmon salad and will go back for it over and over. Good atmosphere, I can recommend it.

I had some good penne pasta with chicken in a creamy pesto sauce. It was very much to my liking. Server host were very courteous~ very cute and romantic setting. Maybe because of the times we're in, the place was pretty empty when I visited. Everyone tried the Gelato. I enjoyed it too. My photo is not that great, since the lighting was dim. But it was delicious.

Our family had a baby shower at this venue and it turned out exceptional. The food was tasteful and our server Vanessa P. was amazing.

We just hosted my daughter's bridal shower here this weekend, and can't say enough great things about the experience. First of all, we wanted a light, bright, and airy atmosphere, which is hard to find in a restaurant, other than on a patio, but knowing April can be dramatic in the weather department, we wanted some cover. Thank goodness we chose Piazza del Pane because their covered patio gives the feel of open air, while being totally protected, and boy, did we need that protection! A huge storm rolled in, midway through the party, blowing the canvas walls like sails on a ship and the temperature suddenly dropped about 20 degrees, but the staff was ready to happily turn on space heaters, and the party went on. Not a drop of rain touched us. Our server, Vanessa, was attentive, professional, kind, somehow lightning fast without appearing rushed, and kept us on timeline without ever seeming pushy. We appreciated her very much. We also all loved the food, artfully prepared and presented, and the champagne was delicious. The whole event will be remembered for years to come, storm and all!

Today was our first time here. We came in with no reservation about 3:30 on a Saturday. We were seated right away. We started off with the tomato basil bruschetta. Nice crispy light bread that looked like it was toasted in a panini maker topped with fresh garlic tomatoes fine chopped basil and parmesan cheese. We both had a cup of minestrone soup which was full of fresh ingredients and came piping hot. Hubby had flat iron steak risotto and I had the short rib fettuccine. We both loved the well cooked tender meat and delicious fresh spices and ingredients. Hubby ordered a blueberry martini with dinner and said it was delicious. We couldn't finish our entrees but wanted to have dessert so we ordered a creme brûlée to go which we will try later. Service excellent. Decor understated classy. Food unique, fresh and cooked wonderfully with delicious spices that don't overwhelm. Try it! We know we'll be back soon to sample other dishes on the menu.
