We came here unfortunately after they had closed a few minutes after. Bumped into the owners on the outside and they offered us food for missing them. We got the best vodka sauce gnocchi we ever had. Magnificent food. Highly recommend not only because of their kindness. It was straight delicious.
Love this place! It's BYOB! And the owner is great.
Carson was an excellent host and we had a fun time along with a great meal. It’s a comfortable and small space that encourages interacting with all, and the food was very tasty!
Fantastic food, amazing service. I let my waiter, Carson, pick my appetizer and meal for me and he hit it out of the park. Can’t say enough about this place, it never disappoints. I hate to let others in on this hidden gem, but it’s too good not to share. Enjoy!
My 1st time there. I had the Pescatore Fra Diavolo and it was absolutely delicious! The owner is very pleasant and attentive. Service was great.
This is definitely a hidden gem, the meal was to incredible, and ambience made feel like I was back in Italy. Our waiter and proprietor was Carson, he was very attentive to all our needs. I had Chicken Parmigiano and it literally melted in my mouth, Balfoni chicken, cooked to perfection, my wife had the Chicken Frencheze with potatoes and vegetables, everything was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were very good and infused oil for the bread was to die for. It is BYOB, so bring favorite vino. Oh did I mention the desserts, Carson brought out decadent piece of Blueberry/Lemon Marble Cake with Glazed Coffee cake topping, it was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the establishment. Also, you should call in advance for a reservation as we found, it books very quickly.
Honestly some of the best food and service i have EVER had. Our server (and owner apparently) was amazing. Witty and fun, great recommendations, and just incredible, especially juggling multiple parties at a time. The food was mouth-watering. I mean the smells comingout of the kitchen were heavenly, ever dish we had was magic. We had a party of 15 and there was not a bad app, main, or dessert to be found. The special app of sausage and rabe needs to be a staple...I could eat that for the rest of my life and be happy. The atmosphere felt similar to a mom and pop shop in Italy. Everyone was just so happy and tables joked with other tables of strangers making it feel like one giant family. I highly suggest making a reservation but this place is a can't miss!!!
Treat yourself to this intimate restaurant that has great customer service and wonderful food. A note to gluten free friends, they offer options here and were delicious. All three of us left with food for another day, will definitely go back soon!
I don’t say this lightly. Café Vino just served me the best chicken parm I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve gone out of my way traveling everywhere trying to find the perfect one. It’s my favorite meal, and this place absolutely nailed it. The cutlet was thin, perfectly crispy, and held up under a generous layer of cheese without getting soggy, exactly how it should be. But what really sets it apart is the sauce. I’m extremely critical when it comes to sauce, and this one hit every note. The balance of sweet, savory, and acidity was spot on. You can tell it’s made with care. On top of the food, the experience itself was just as impressive. Carson, the owner, was our server and couldn’t have been more personable. He genuinely made the meal feel special and welcoming, which takes it to another level. I almost kept this to myself, but it’s too good not to share. This place deserves to be packed every night. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, you need to try it here.
My family has been dining at Cafe Vino for many years and it never disappoints us. Carson and Ricky are so welcoming and treats everyone like family. Dinner at Cafe Vino with family and friends is not just a dinner out it is an entire evening of fun and laughs, never feeling rushed. It’s always my choice for my birthday celebrations!!!
