    If you are a fan of Chris Bianco (Pizzeria Bianco and Tratto), you'll live Pane Bianco. There is a takeout room, and a cute vintage-inspired dining room. I am a huge fan of the "shabby" vintage look, and this place is right up my alley. I absolutely love the carved wood bar. The lemon chandelier makes me happy and I wish I had one. The menu is mostly sandwiches, salads and pizza. The pizza is either by the slice or focaccia pizza. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order--everything we've ever ordered is delicious. The need here knocks my socks off--crispy and chewy and oh so yummy! We ordered a roast beef sandwich and a prosciutto sandwich. Both were served with an apple slaw. Everything was so delicious. Portions are very generous for a reasonable price. We left full bellies, a box of leftovers, and a bag of lemon cookies. That makes for a perfect lunch!!!

    Visited Pane Bianco while in Phoenix. The atmosphere was rustic, casual, and authentic, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Living part-time in Arizona, I've found it can be a challenge to come across truly authentic Italian cuisine, which is why I really appreciate what Chris Bianco brings to the table. Chris is a good friend, and his strong Italian heritage and commitment to using the finest ingredients really shines through. Tried a few of their sandwiches, pizzas, and salads -- simple, honest, and full of flavor, exactly how Italian food should be. Marco (Chris' brother) is often on hand, adding a warm, personal touch that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for locals and a true taste of Italian craftsmanship -- absolutely worth many return visits. Saluti.

    A great place to treat yourself with some upscale high quality ingredients and delicious food. I walked in (didn't order ahead) to place my to go order and the service was polite and helpful. I got the italian combo and prosciutto salad. They have a small area with olive oil and dry pasta and I couldn't resist to got a bottle of the olive oil. It was pricey but it's good! I will keep it for special occasions to use during home cooking. The sandwich and salad were bright with aromatic fresh ingredients and man they were good. Portion size could have def been for two people, I'm saving the rest for later tonight.

    I had high hopes for this place. Maybe I should I order something else. We tried it for the first time. I would try it again but something else. We got the Tuna sandwich and it tasted more like sardines and was super super dry! Would not recommend. I got the Italian combo and the inside of the sandwich was great but the bread was sooooooo hard!! Cut the roof of your mouth hard. Very hard to eat. They both came with a cabbage salad on the side that was good Lastly my friend also got the side salad which seemed very plain but the dressing was very tasty kinda saved the lunch.

    The original of the Pizzeria Bianco chain. Although I have seen this at The Row in DTLA, my first experience is at this Central Phoenix location during a work trip. We had an opportunity to meet Chris Bianco as well, which was how we learned this was the first location. Their lunch menu was really simple, and parking was not too bad. We got here right around when it opened, and there were already parties sitting at the tables. I ordered the pepperoni al taglio since one of my former bosses told me the pizza was amazing at the DTLA location. The portions of the food were really great for the price point. I ordered a second pepperoni al taglio as I was famished. The second one I ordered felt overbaked compared to the first one, unfortunately. They can get really busy in a matter of minutes. Service was friendly though not the fastest. It was a great lunch spot in the middle of the work day.

    Absolutely incredible service and delicious food. Chris Bianco and his team are unparalleled. I would eat their calzones and mozzarella salad every week if I could!

    Tried out Pane Bianco for a late Friday lunch excited to taste the highly rated focaccia bread. This restaurant is situated right next to Lux so parking is tight. I was able to snag some street parking but make sure you heed any signage. Pane Bianco is a casual indoor/outdoor restaurant and the winter weather was cause for the entry door to be pulled open. The climate was pleasant, but there were more than a few bugs buzzing around. We ordered the albacore tuna salad sandwich and the mozzarella sandwich. The foccacia was incredible - nicely toasted and flavorful. If I were to go again, I'd pass on the tuna. It was bland and overall missable. The mozzarella was as fresh as the bread but the prosciutto left something to be desired. Overall this a fun spot for a casual meal; it might be more of a takeout spot. If you'd rather make your own sandwich, you can purchase bread at the counter.

    Had lunch at Pane Bianco yesterday and really enjoyed it! I ordered the tuna salad and it was plentiful for the price. I really liked the rustic and home-y ambience of the restaurant. It had a unique vibe to interior design. The fresh bread was also awesome.

    Nothing beats their fresh mozzarella sandwich served before 3pm. And trust me you'll always crave it after 3 and be disappointed haha. The focaccia bread is scrumptious and it has the right amount of cold thick mozzarella and tomato piled on. Wrapped in paper and aiming to please! You have to try it!! In over a decade, this recipe has only seemingly gotten tastier!

    Pane Bianco is one of my go to sandwich places in the valley. Everything on the menu is great and they use fresh local ingredients which really shows in the quality of the food. I've eaten here for a sit down lunch or also a quick takeout but am always treated great by the staff. I'm looking forward to coming back here and trying something new off the menu!

    Porchetta Sandwich

    If you haven't had the porchetta sandwich, you have never lived. This is my top 3 sandwiches in Phoenix. The creamy, cold, greens cuts through the richness of the pork. The sandwich is messy. Ask my extra napkins.

    Really liked the food that we got. The square pizza (Al Taglio) was bomb and the green pizza was also really good. The bread on the sandwiches had the perfect chew to it and made the prime rib sandwich for me. I saw people just buying bread to go. I think it's advertised as a sandwich spot but I will remember the pizza!

    Had an awesome experience at Pane Bianco. AJ took my order and couldn't have been more professional--he pointed me toward the pizza, and honestly, great call. They cranked it out fast, and the result was this gorgeous wood-fired pie with a bottom crust that honestly feels like something people dream about. I'm 100% coming back. The whole place just has this super welcoming, calm energy, and I knew the second I walked in that the food was gonna hit.

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

Their happy hour concludes at six pm, but in true fashion our flight got delayed. Their hh menu is valid outside and in the bar seating area. We nonetheless pushed our resy back and arrived around 6:40pm. This restaurant has a very cute vibe and I loved the mural near the bar in traditional concrete. The decor and accent walls were all fun, and I really liked the main area. The staff was super attentive and the bartender serving us on Friday, August 28th was the best. Welcoming, informative, and kept it real with us. My partner and I landed on the pappardelle short rib pasta and toto sapore pizza. The pizza was one of my fave pizzas I've had in quite some time. The mixture of meats including sausage, soppressata, and salame parme was perfect with the right amount of spice. The pasta was al dente which was greatly appreciated and it was a lovely meal all around. This spot is worth checking out if you're in the area and wanting a great dinner in a calmer vibe (with some bomb music).
