Food was Amazing. It was my friends B-Day and he is from Italy and he was extremely satisfied with the food. The manager, Hostess, and employees truly made our experience there amazing. Complimentary drinks on the house but honestly made me and my friends feel at home. Thank you for a great time. The food was amazing and the drinks were phenomenal. Thank you. A must if you are in Tel Aviv and want a true Italian and kosher restaurant. The staff was amazing. They truly work hard to make everyone feel comfortable. 5 Stars

Fabulous and authentic kosher Italian food. First time I’ve ever given compliments to the chef, after 4 years of Aliyah. The food was all fresh, tasted so thoughtfully made, yet nothing felt over the top or pretentious. The chefs are Italian and the manager too I believe. The service was also good, and the ambience European-chill. They ensured that we got our food very quickly due to our rush. Highly recommend the pistachio crusted tuna steak, which is red inside exactly like I wanted, it came with the side of the day which was grilled veggies on mashed potatoes - even those were way above your average Israeli grilled vegetables quality. Not too oily, but thoroughly cooked and seasoned just enough. The mashed potatoes were buttery. Even the salad which is one of the most cliché things you can order in a restaurant in Israel was not roughly out together at all - it was perfect from all perspectives - freshness, balance of taste profile, amount of dressing… last but not the least, the tiramisu is made the classic Italian way - full of flavor of the expected ingredients, not too dense, nor sickly sweet mousse-like which is how some local bakeries make it. Seriously, I already want to go back. Don’t miss this if you’re in central Tel Aviv!

When a good friend who is Italian recommends an Italian restaurant, I ask no question and go experience it. Pankina became one of my favorite Italian restaurant in Israel that I visit frequently when I visit Tel Aviv. I ate dinner here during the week with friends and the food was absolutely delicious, both the meals and the desserts. they could accommodate us for dinner, though we didn’t have any reservations. The only reason I didn't give a 5-star review was that it took time to find a table and place we sat didn't feel like the inside of a real restaurant. Salad and vegetables starts were all excellent. The portions were pretty decent. The pastas felt like eating in Italy. The atmosphere and food were both incredible and left us wanting to come back. We had also tagliatelle and sauce coating the pasta was one of the best I’ve had. I discovered the taste of a new cheese. Great service at Pankina, the staff make it a welcoming place and accept walk ins. The dishes were amazing and surprisingly light, even for the heavier dishes. Everything was very fresh from the salades to the tagliatelle that i ordered. Delicious! The tiramisu was perfect, it had the right amount of coffee, creaminess, and not too sweet. Definitely worth the stop!

This place was great. Wonderful food offered up by Ruben, the manager. He was so friendly and gracious. The Caesar salad was very tasty, the pastas were delicious and varied and the tiramisu was sublime, as promised.

Very decent. The food is as ok as they come. Generic Italian food, there isn't much selection from the menu either. We sat outside, the gimic of the place, where the place feels Italian because the entire staff is Italian, didnt click for me. I will note that if you want to come here, try and sit inside, I've heard that's where the gimmick aspect is actually felt. returning to sitting outside, the traffic will hurt your experience, over 2 dozen times did cars and random people honk or yell extremely loudly every few minutes, this won't trouble some people, we ended up having a good time but it will hurt others experience. Regarding parking, there isn't any, this is Tel-Aviv, meaning parking costs extra. We ended up paying 48 shekels for parking though I know there are places there that charge up to 160 shekels. Also expect quite a walk if you are arriving by car. It's much better to take the bus there, there is a station quite close to the restaurant. In terms of handicapped dining, there shouldn't be a problem, there are very little if any stairs.

Pasta was delivered cold, we returned it back and it came cold again some of the mozzarella was sour and not fresh! Was a horrible experience!!

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of Tel aviv Best value for money

We met friends for a special birthday dinner. The restaurant was fully booked and yet the table I ordered was waiting for us exactly at the time we ordered and in a corner location. Despite the rush, the service was courteous and fast and the dishes arrived really quickly. The hospitality and food was enjoyable, recommend.

Lovely experience. Dined last month for dinner with a party of 7. The food, service, ambiance, were excellent. Everyone in our party was so pleased and impressed. Lovely outdoor seating. Great food and service! Looking forward to returning again and again.

Always good service and food. Hope the prices don't go up and we'll keep coming

Good Italian kitchen. Kosher. Tasty. Clean.

Truly unbelievable experience. Food was 10/10, but what was the most incredible was Shalom the owner, made a table for my family out of thing aware. Very attentive and wonderful owner. Please go next time in Tel Aviv!

Great food, great service! I really enjoyed my food here!

The food in this restaurant was absolutely delicious. The fish was very flavorful with all kinds of spices. The service was fast and the staff very friendly.

They have a great selection of appetizers: bruschetta, focaccia, tuna tartar, caesar salad, and more. The entrees include both a variety of pasta and fish dishes. And of course, dessert options include tiramisu, chocolate, and more. The service is impeccable. We didn't make a reservation, but would recommend making them. We arrived around 7pm and it got busy around 8pm.

Pretty famous Italian restaurant on dizengoff. As a Jew, I think kosher means that it just doesn't taste as good as a real restaurant

The food was great and very satisfying. The dishes were big. For dessert we took the Soufle which didnt look so inviting, but it was very tasty despite its look. The service wasnt that great, we were asked to leave our table at 21:30pm (which was okay because the hostess let us know beforehand), but we had already ordered dessert and they were willing to kick us out (no communication between the kitchen and the hostess). In summary, it was an okay exprience but at least the food was good :)

The service is slow and not particularly attentive. We waited for more than 20 minutes to get a bottle of water served on the hot summer afternoon. The food was also somewhat mediocre with pasta soaked in the bowl of olive oil. It was ok to satisfy the hunger but nothing more to write home about.

The price is too hight for such a low quality food. Simply boiled pasta mixed with fried regular mushrooms and a piece of a melted, dried-up piece of cheese that can not be bitten and it's 80 shekels...really?! It didn't even have any souse... and Tiramisu wasn't a real Teramisy..just cream and cookie. A friend of mine ordered a portion of salmon and it was so tiny small so..didn't worse 100+ shekels...usually if portion is small - it tastes delicious but not in this case..usual homefood

We had dinner there recently. Relatively small place with a nice patio - though it's quite warm on the patio. The appetizers were fairly good - we had the arrancini, Caesar salad, focaccia with burrata. A few of us had pasta dishes which were decent but not exceptional. The sea bass was quite nice - flavourful and a reasonable sized portion. Decent wine list with some good choices and the prices for the wine were fine. The dessert choices were interesting and reasonably good. We tried a chocolate souffle, tiramisu and a pistachio gelato. The restaurant is strictly kosher which works for us. We had reserved a table in advance but still had to wait about 20 min to be seated. Not an inexpensive place - but that's Tel Aviv. With wine, about 180 shq a person including tax and tip.

Amazing meal from the Caprise salad beginning to the last bite of the tirramisu.

One of the best restaurant in Tel Aviv . The tiramisu is INCREDIBLE and the Cacio Pepe felt like Italy. VERY RECOMMENDED !!!!

One of the best Italian restaurants of the city

We had a great experience. Focaccia - perfectly crispy and soft. Fried zucchini. Delicious Grilled sea bass. Salad. Staff was EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

This is a very authentic and superb Italian restaurant. The food is top notch and imaginative, the service excellent. They have a business lunch menu until 5 pm, which makes it a compelling choice for lunch as well as dinner.

It's rare to find a place like this. Tasty, clean, excellent service. Best value for money

Kosher Italian restaurant, run by Italians.

Great, kosher, Italian food. Service was very quick and the food was delicious. Also very reasonable priced.

Good kosher dairy Italian. Fresh pasta and fish dishes.

Great spot for italian food. Kosher in the heart of tel aviv!

Good value for money. Great atmosphere.

Service was so-so...orders came out one at a time with a long delay between guests at the table. Miniature portions..

Charming place!! Wonderful food and great service- Staff was welcoming and super friendly! Very recommended ✨

Really tasty food, good atmosphere and nice service

Had a decent meal here. Ordered the bruschetta and Linguine Alfredo. Bruchetta flavors were great, but it had so many toppings that it compromised the structural integrity of the bread. Less toppings or better toasting would have made it perfect. The linguine was cooked perfectly, but I felt the dish could really shine with a little more salt, parmesan, and a crack of pepper - which the waitress gladly brought out. Service was really friendly, and food came out quickly.

As an authentic New Yorker I certify Pankina delicious and kosher. I like how much of the store is outside and deprecated with the glass. The staff are also really good.

Really good food. Fantastic service. Outside is amazing. Recommend the panki a salad and then fish. Wow. Also recommend to reserve a table to enshre you dont wait. Enjoy!

Nice kosher Italian restaurant. Located right in the center of Tel Aviv. I had blue cheese Gnocchi and it was ok. The fried rissoto balls and the salads in the entrees also good. Since most of the tables are outside it can be quite hot in the summer.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Pankina! Pankina delivers an outstanding kosher Italian experience right in the heart of Tel Aviv. The pasta dishes truly stand out with their fresh ingredients and exquisite flavors. The starters, too, are impressive and set the perfect tone for the meal to follow. What makes the dining experience even better are the kind and attentive waitstaff who make you feel right at home. But the real heart of the place lies in its amazing owners who bring a unique warmth and hospitality to the table. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stellar dining experience!"

Very taken back with how delicious this meal was! Very reasonably priced for a Tel Aviv city center restaurant. Would for sure come back here!
