It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including a combination of meats such as beef, pork, and sometimes sausage, along with vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. The dish is often flavored with tomatoes, wine, and herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Pantanelli is typically served with polenta, a cornmeal-based dish, which complements the rich flavors of the stew. The name "pantanelli" is derived from the Italian word "pantano," meaning marsh or swamp, reflecting the dish's origins in the marshy areas of the Po Valley.

Variations of the dish can be found across Italy, with regional differences in the types of meats and vegetables used.
