"A restaurant connected to Michelle Lobo, known for its wine selection and dining experience." - Emma Orlow
"Ever since I saw this cookie, I have been meaning to try Pan Pan Vino Vino. The Greenpoint bakery opened in March, and while its sesame seed and chocolate chunk cookie wasn’t available last week, the alternatives were wonderful: yuzu blueberry bundt cake, guava cream cheese pastries, and nutty chocolate brownies. I loved the plain croissant, too ($5); the pastry is baked just how I like — light brown and so crisp it shatters all over the sidewalk after one bite." - Eater Staff
"If you’ve ever wanted to drink a rosé described as “You’re on a veranda with your Italian lover and a 10pm dinner reservation,” check out Pan Pan Vino Vino. You won’t know the grape or any details about the bottle, because they aren’t on the menu. But the wine will indeed be “light and salty,” and highly enjoyable in this split-personality Greenpoint spot. During the day, it’s a bakery, and a nice spot for a cortado and a sticky guava and cream cheese bun, surrounded by paintings of volcanoes. At night, it's a wine bar, with $5 cicchetti: creative little bites—like country ham and habanada jelly, or mussels with preserved lemon aioli—atop house-baked baguettes. Eat some grilled shrimp with garlic butter and drink a chilled red or a “red red” while someone next to you talks about navigating their status as a third in an open relationship. This is a good spot for a low-key date night, or a catch-up, but make other plans for dinner, because they take the word “small” in small plates very seriously.

"Nura’s expansion in Greenpoint includes Pan Pan Vino Vino, which operates as a bakery by day and a wine bar by night." - Emma Orlow
"I learned that Pan Pan Vino Vino will open Friday, March 1 at 120 Norman Avenue (at Eckford Street) as a daytime bakery that becomes a wine bar at night; the team comes from Greenpoint’s Nura, pastry chef Sam Short will premiere baked goods with an Eastern European spin, the wine list is led by Mackenzie Gassett, and small plates will be by Jackie Carnesi (who recently left Nura to overhaul Kellogg’s Diner)." - Emma Orlow
