Pane e Vino has been a staple city restaurant for me for a long time. With the dearth of reasonable priced cafe style eateries in the city Pane is a frequent choice.
What I like about Pane is it's lack of pretension - it doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not. The food is middling at best but inoffensively stereotypical Italian.
Fussy BF and I stopped in for a quick bite on a Friday night. I wasn't all that hungry so opted for the mixed Bruschetta - Diced Roma tomato, garlic & basil / Prosciutto & mushroom
/ Eggplant, zucchini, capsicum & onion (1 of each)$11.50. All of which was satisfying if not all that memorable.
BF had the Spaghetti con gamberi - Fresh prawns tossed through chilli, garlic, spinach & fresh tomato w olive oil $23.00 and she was quite pleased with it although the garlic made it's presence known throughout the rest of the night.
As usual Pane came through with a good value, satisfying experience.

PeV used to be about the food. Good food, pretty cheap.
then the food went crappy but the staff carries the place.
deserves credit for being the first place in the City where you could get a decent cup of coffee.
... and has had some very cool staff (and very hot as well) over the years.
i think nostaligia for the awesome nights we used to have there are the only reason we go back! we should sooo go back!!!
