Panorama - Wine & Bar

Panorama - Wine & Bar is an Italian restaurant and wine bar at 14 N Front St, within Penn’s View Hotel in Old City, Philadelphia. The setting combines a restaurant dining room with a wine-focused bar, giving the venue a more intimate feel than a casual neighborhood trattoria.

The menu draws on Italian cooking while taking a contemporary approach. Hand-rolled pasta, burrata, and dishes featuring veal, lamb, steak, and seafood are part of the restaurant’s culinary style. The cooking is designed for a full dining experience, with composed plates and a focus on Italian ingredients and familiar regional flavors interpreted in a polished way.

Wine is central to the identity of the restaurant. The program includes a broad range of wines available by the glass, guided tasting flights, and reserve bottles. A sommelier-led approach gives diners a way to explore pairings alongside the food, whether the occasion calls for a single glass, a flight, or a bottle selected for the table.

The interior is presented as a dimly lit wine-cellar setting, creating a relaxed and romantic atmosphere for dinner. The mood suits date nights, anniversaries, celebrations, and other occasions that call for an unhurried meal. The bar offers another way to experience the restaurant, particularly for visitors interested in sampling wines without committing to a full dinner.

Panorama also accommodates private events, including weddings, rehearsals, and corporate gatherings. Event spaces and sommelier experiences extend the venue beyond standard restaurant dining, while the wine club provides access to private tastings and wine-focused programming. The combination of Italian cuisine, a substantial wine selection, and a cellar-inspired interior makes Panorama a fit for diners who value food-and-wine pairing in a formal yet welcoming setting.
