If only we could bring this quaint, 5☆ dining experience home to Long Island. Thank you all for providing delicious, attractive, and flavorful meals in such a calm, inviting way, on a Friday nite to me and my husband. My husband enjoyed the pre fixed menu paired with wines. And as for me, the plant-based food selection was just perfect. Ah, the hot veggie empanadas were served with a crisp crust, giving a delightful crunch, and an inside that made me say "mmm" out loud with every bite. Be sure to dip them into the green sauce and then, wow! The spinach & wheat pasta was prepared with roma tomatoes and zucchini. But, wait, the surprise was in the crunch enjoyed in every other bite. That addition was a pesto and toast crumble! Fantastic! I watched as the desserts caused my husbands eyes to close while eating (Ice cream with espresso (afogado), tiramisu, and chocolate mousse). Fabio, one of the owners came to our table to chat with us. He was charming and easily brought back an old tradition of 'hometown togetherness' making our dining experience even more special. Thank you again!
My husband and I had an amazing time! Intimate dinning space and some of the best vegan food in Orlando. Menu has lots of vegan, gluten free and non-veggie options. Every dish we had was delicious. We will definitely be back again. Also loved that the owner was walking around checking on things and giving his recommendations. Truly unique and lovely experience.
Intimate, Cozy and Friendly. This small neighborhood wine bar and restaurant was a pleasure to visit. My daughter and her husband had been visiting here since it's opening and had wanted us to join them for a long time. We dined with them and it was just as they described. We went on a Thursday night and a wonderful Bossa Nova singer performed but the food and atmosphere was the star of the show. Fabio, the owner visited our table a few times and he is a charming and kind man. What he and his wife have put together in this restaurant is a perfect balance of an intimate wine bar with a small but finely thought-out menu that is perfectly executed. We had five in our group and ordered a variety of wines and dishes. Every dish was amazing and the wine pairings we on point. One in our group is vegetarian and there were menu selection just naturally included in the menu and not added to the bottom of the menu as an afterthought like many places. Her selections would appeal to anyone, with any food passion. Not just a vegetarian. Thank you!
The service was truly outstanding, and the Bite 30 menu was unique and inventive. We had the wine pairing as well which was superb. We will be coming back year round for sure.
This restaurant make my night different!! FABIO, the owner is so careful with details! The 3 COURSE PRIX FIXE MENU is perfect!!! Good live music , amazing wines and spectacular FOOD! Thank you and we will come every week now!!
Vinia came on the local WP scene several years ago. We remember the ‘early days’ very well - with fondness. It was intimate, relaxed, personal. Fabio, the propriotor, and his lovely wife, Paula, made one feel like family from the moment one entered. These days the wine bar is also a kitchen now and it has become a solid fixture in the cozy New England Ave. ‘foody scene’. So, anything new/different? For one, Mondays and Tuesdays are days off now. Not unlike most everywhere else these days, the wine prices have also inched up just a bit. And Paula is no longer as visible as before….. However, the intimate live music that is offered there twice a week makes this one of the most attractive locations in town to relax in! (And yes, there still are NO televisions anywhere to interfere with the congenial mood permeating the entire space.) No abrasive loudness ever and still the same conviviality and personal attentiveness from the entire team the moment you enter. Fabio has made this place a most unique and pleasurable oasis, unlike any other establishment in the community !
Excellent food and vibe. Live music was playing while we ate/drink but very subtle and enjoyable. Small, yet comfortable location in a beautiful historic area of Hannibal Square. We went with the 3 course meal that included 2oz wine pours. Excellent. My husband and I each got a different choice (there were 2) except on dessert, you get a tasting of 3 desserts with wine. Really delicious, unique foods and pairings that complimented the foods perfectly. It’s off the I-drive path but if you’re looking for a cozy night out with great food and wine, highly recommend. Not really a kid place but definitely great for a date night out. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation and check this place out. Delicious and such a great find!
Oh my goodness we were so excited to find this gem during our travels. We were able to enjoy the new wine list and dinner options. Popular place so highly recommend reservations but they're very accommodating regardless. Ox trail was amazing and a first for us!!! Fabio the Owner a must meet.
Very good wine bar and food. We had the Brazilian cheese bread and burrata with pesto — both were fantastic. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options marked on the menu.Fabio was very accommodating and pleasant. He made us feel like we were in his home having dinner.
Absolutely spectacular! Made spontaneous reservations hoping for pleasant enough food, wine, & live jazz & we were blown away! Wine pairings were fantastic. Flavors, portion sizes and presentation of plates were fabulous. The entertainment was exactly what we were looking for. The value of what you get with the phenomenal service and all aforementioned wins was completely on point. I wish there were more places like this easily found in central FL. I’m certain they will not disappoint! It was so refreshing to have such an amazing evening. Totally outshined the Michelin star restaurant we recently went to. The intention totally comes through in the final product/experience. We’ve already made reservations for the special menu this weekend!
