It is not hard to become immersed and fall in love with the Italian family atmosphere at Pan Roma. Located just off the main drag of Italian restaurants on Norton Street, this gorgeous family run business serves great home style Italian meals.
The ingredients are fresh and the specials board always features highlights of the season. Some of the specials during our visit included:
Zucchini Flowers ($15.50)

They also have several fabulous dishes on their regular menu including:

Calves Liver
The meals are reasonably priced and the wine list is competitively cheap. You also do have the option of B.Y.O.
The service is friendly and very accommodating. Pan Roma also caters for groups so it can get a little loud. Our best advice is to call ahead to check if there are any groups expected and to book a reservation, as it can get very busy. Please also be aware that the restaurant is usually only open between October - April as the owner usually spends the rest of the year back in Italy.
Overall, a highly rated Italian Restaurant producing restaurant quality, home style cooking using the freshest ingredients at reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit!
