Loved the aesthetics of the place. The main house has character, the patio is charming and the music was awesome- not too loud but loud enough. The food, however, was subpar, the cost of the wine was very expensive, and the service was just so-so. I really wanted to love the whole experience but I didn’t.

I absolutely LOVE Vino Locale! It feels like home and I'm always greeted with a smile and some of the best warm loving service I've ever had. The Thursday evening live music is so tastefully done. Not too loud and just so enjoyable. I brought my team of 12 to the backyard patio and it felt like I invited them to my private backyard. Celinda is the best server ever. Just kind and on-point no matter how slammed they are. Thank you for such a special place and making me and my team feel at home.

Great food and wine. Service was excellent. Nile was my server and he was friendly and helpful. Great music scene as well. Nice if you can get there early or make a reservation for the back patio area. The burrata plate was a huge hit. If you prefer, they also have a corkage of $40.

Amazing! The back patio is romantic and intimate. Good is incredible as well as the wine selection. The wine selection is great and the staff really makes you feel like a guest at a friend’s home.

Very nice meeting with friends, Started off with two flights of wine ( white - Notorious, Glamorous - red) and two individual glasses of wine. Lots to choose from and not your typical wines from CA. Very diverse options. For appetizers we got the 4 cheese platter, the Burrata e Linguica. We were still hungry so ordered the Dinosaur Bone, the Hot Bangkok Chiki - both were delicious. We ended the night with the Molten Chocolate Cake ala mode and the Marjolaine. Good food and great time catching up with friends.

Great service, very personable. Super atmosphere outdoors in the backyard with vines and cozy tables. Missing a full bar, but of course makes for a good wine experience.

Loved visiting this little place. Had a table in the back patio and it was thoroughly charming. Waiter was prompt, unpretentious and knowledgable. Eclectic selection of small plates. Everyone in the party enjoyed the experience.
