Located right at the bridge to Penn’s Landing in a building that’s on the National Register of Historic Places, Panorama is part of the boutique-style Penn’s View Hotel (see). The beautiful dining room features marble floors, a wall of windows, and murals throughout. The cuisine is gutsy old-world Italian, featuring dishes such as paillard of beef rolled in garlic, cheese, egg, and herbs, slow-cooked in tomato sauce, and served with house-made gnocchi. But it’s wine that this place is known for. Daily wine lists offer from 22 to 26 different flights (five wines per flight), plus dozens more by-the-glass options. The quality—made possible by the restaurant's cruvinet preservation and dispensing system—is exceptional, earning Panorama numerous "Best Wines by the Glass" awards from national food magazines.
