Love, love, love this place! The menu changes seasonally, and the food is always to die for! The service is always on point with a smile. Even when I've stopped in for some pastries, I have been delighted. A must! when in Hillsborough.

The atmosphere is good, the food is average, and the service is nonexistent.I thought the braised pork butt sandwich was a little overpriced at $17 dollars, but when you add on the mandatory 20% tip, the price became severely inflated. Hoping to get a little side with your $22 sandwich? Well, keep hoping because all you get is the sandwich. Here's the kicker, I fancy myself a good tipper, I worked in the service industry, but this place expects you to get your own water, napkins, silverware, and then to bus your own table when finished. Where's the service that warrants a 20% tip?? The entitlement of this page is absurd!!

The name has changed to Bakeshop & 0asta Co. Absolutely loved the food, but was a little confused by the delivery, you order at a counter, you sit down to have your food delivered, which is amazing but then they charge you a huge wage fair at the end of your meal, but why? I'm confused I had to get my own water, stand in line to order and a refill on tea is not free. The one wait staff just brought the food and took plates away but nobody waited on us, so I'm kinda confused by wage fair. I also wanted to say don't order their signature drinks because signature drinks are very small 2 -3 oz and was $16, which it was very tasty but very overpriced. Would like to go again but they need to rethink delivery and pricing.

The food is very good, but the service policy is an outrage. There is an automatic 20% charge added to each order so that everyone gets a living wage. For this charge, you stand in line while your order is being filled, take your food to the table, and buss your used dishes to a collection point. Perhaps the owners should consider paying a living wage and leave tipping to the customers.

I've been here several times to meet friends for a morning visit. I always get a nice pastry. You never know exactly what they'll have, but they are good and fresh. And the coffee is the best I've found in Hillsborough!

Food was ok. But this forced tip is soooo d**** I had to get my own water. My own silverware. And bus my own table. All for me to pay a 20% tip. Not coming back. Your employer should pay you more. Not force me to pay for something I don’t get.

Good food, (pricey) great service, nice ambiance.. a must checkout if you are in the Hillsboro area.

Panciuto has changed form over the years, but it is still serves some of the best food in the Triangle. The menu changes weekly to incorporate food that comes into season. Can't recommend it enough.

Canestri+ cacio e Pepe was a delicious lunch. This is a bus your own table place, and tips are included to pay their workers. So nice not to do math every bill. Only a few tables but full bar, canned beer and even coffee if you’re so inclined.

Great service. Liked the menu. Would go again, especially for a special occasion. Like what seems to be fewer tables. Not crazy about ordering off tablet, but that the way of things now. Butternut Squash RavioliChicken LiversFried Oysters
Wonderful food with a changing menu. I only wish they were open more often!

The food is always great, good wine and cocktails. Seasonal menu that changes weekly. They've extended their hours again which is great. Delicious pastries.Can get busy but never waited more than 15 mins for a table to open up. You pay at the cashier so service is somewhat limited and it's fairly pricey but tip is included and food is so great.Yet to be disappointed.

This review just regards the pastries and desserts, which are dramatically over spiced. The chef needs to appreciate that less is more and adjust for a better balance of flavors. Tried two desserts and both had probably 3-4x the amount of spices that would have made them balanced and good.

Best gnocchi I have ever had. Soft and pillowy, just enough butter and lemon cal fresh veg was stellar, especially the beets.
