Wish I came here sooner. This place is nice and cozy. While it is a small space, you can come in with a small group or go solo. The staff are friendly and nice and give good suggestions when asked. I love the food-small plates that can be shared. Everything from the cheese plates, lasagna, and arugala salad are amazing. Come in for a cozy glass of wine and eat till your heart's content. A nic little gem in the Bernal neighborhood.

Best eggplant parmesan in the city and that is saying a lot. Trust me, I've tried them all and Vino Rosso's is the best.

One evening I was trying to go the Thai restaurant next door and the line was long so we decided to grab a glass of wine next door. Well nothing was a better idea! This cute bar has great wines (I'm Italian so love some good Italian selection) and great salads, cheese, polenta... well as you could have guessed, we totally skipped the Thai place and stayed and enjoyed it here!

Great spot for wine, antipasto and charcuterie. Had their entrees and pastas years ago which I remember being solid, but haven't tried them recently. Wine selection is excellent and reasonably priced. The server gave us a few great suggestions. It has a charming parklet which is lovely on a warmer evening or a happy-hour glass of wine. We went on a Friday night when they had a DJ spinning, which made it extra lively and inviting.

Such a nice gem with so many wine selections. We got a bottle of the white wine which was really good! We also got some burrata along with it which was good quality and delicious. The ambience is great as well, nice quaint vibes. The service was a little slow but we didn't mind it as we were in no rush. Could see ourselves being regulars here

This little gem is located in Bernal Heights. This neighborhood is full of some many wonderful restaurants and small cozy bars. I have only been here for wine and cheese and have dined in. I really want to come back because the staff has been nothing but wonderful and the food last time had the most wonderful aroma. We had two full bottles, one was a a Rosé and one was a distilled one. Any cheese charcuterie board you do is amazing. They always add extra bread and that is a plus just ask for more. Can't wait to be back, thank you again for making this experience awesome for myself and my friends.
