Panza's Restaurant

Panza's Restaurant Featuring weekly musical entertainment in Panza's Starlight Lounge & Piano Bar. Panza's bakery opened its doors in Mechanicville in 1897.

In a city steeped in tradition, from its historic spas to the horses, there is only one family owned classic Italian restaurant that has endured for over 80 incredible years. That was the first time Upstate New York experienced the delicious Neapolitan style brick oven baked pizza and other secret family recipes our relatives brought with them from the old country. Ma Panza and her husband Joseph

were unable to speak English when they first arrived from Napoli, so they allowed their cooking to do the talking for them, and did it ever. Everyone in the neighborhood was talking about this new baking sensation called, "pizza." Ma Panza's authentic brand of home style Italian cooking became a staple in the Capital Region, and has continued in their tradition spanning more than five generations and still using the same brick oven Ma Panza cooked in. Today, we still offer the same authentic Italian fare Ma Panza made back in the late 1800s, serving guests in our restaurant and providing extensive catering services for banquets, weddings and events.

"Obsessed." That was the word we heard over and over again at last week's intimate wine dinner with HERITA USA and wine educator Aga Hilferty.

Featuring five amazing courses from Executive Chef Elliott Vogel, plus a surprise amuse-bouche and six wines including the new Eterna from Santa Margherita, it was an unforgettable evening.
