Rather than us singing the praises of Panevino, we decided to allow a restaurant loyalist explain the appeal. So, here’s Patch commenter Brandon’s take on the restaurant from a January 2012 review:

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. My sister and I are college aged...whenever the 4 of us are home we make sure to come here, our favorite restaurant. They all love the Penne, simple and delicious. I personally go for the white pizza.”

Panevino Ristorante is located at 637 W. Mount Pleasant Ave. in Livingston.

Look for a roundup of our other Essex Italian food winners on Saturday. And stay tuned for Monday's next Best of poll on Livingston Patch!
