Our appetizers - Focaccia con 'Concia di Zucchine- Fresh focaccia with traditional Roman-Style marinated Zucchini - so soft, fresh and fabulous!
Fritto "Pankina"- (Assortment of fritters:Mozzarella risotto balls, potato croquettes, eggplant croquettes, zucchini blossoms with anchovies and mozzarella, fried pizza poppers)- absolute perfection.
Caesar salad -lettuce heart,Parmesan flakes, croutons, Caesar sauce- crunchy and fresh.
Insalate Pankini -lettuce,kalamata olives, red onion, carrot,cucumber,mushroom,bulgarit- a fierce salad, with a wonderful combination of flavorful tastes!
Pasta- Spaghetti alla bottarga-Spaghetti with grated flakes of Bottarga- excellent texture and flavor that will leave you screaming for more. Spaghetti alla "Pantesca" -Fresh Tuna, kalamata olives,capers,cherry tomatoes, pistachio, chili powder- magnificent heavenly tastes. Spaghetti aglio olio- with tomato sauce made by upon request (yes they make everything your heart desires).
Wonderful generous portions.
The amazing Chef Emanuele Di Porto made phenomenal dishes that totally made our mouths drool. He has worked at Celestina, Il Galletto, Bar Della Pace, Mater Matuta and Excelsior!!!!
The experience he has achieved by working in Italy in all these high end restaurants was well felt!
Pankina is a cozy Italian restaurant located on one of the most famous streets in Tel Aviv. A great place for dates, birthdays, and to just eat delicious Italian food served by a professional inviting staff. And most importantly for so many, it is KOSHER!
Highly recommended!
