Vina Enoteca - Palo Alto

Wonderful food and service was excellent! Authentic Sicilian tariff. I love it!

Solid experience good food, good service and a beautiful ambience.

This restaurant is the best Italian on the peninsula. The food is excellent source, well made and delicious. So far I had every dish on their menu and they are all exquisitely made where I can't wait to come back. Rocco staff is the best service, including Valentino, who knows his wines. Your bar drinks are creative and delicious. I love the Amaro Bar and they have a great wine card for Italian grape varieties. The ambience is perfect for this romantic date or business dinner. The Osso Buco was so good that I ordered two this night. (Because my partner ate half of my first. Beef Carpaccio makes an excellent end to meal as I do not hire deserts, but there is the Chinato from which they are excellent. Please don't tell anyone about this restaurant because it's always hard to get a table these days, and we want our own little Stanford piece signature style and class to do the Italian style.

I think Margarita Pizza wasn't special. The salad, once delicious at dinner, was not so good for lunch. The Tiramisu appealed to our friend. I found the Gelato heavy Strawberry in what I think was a white chocolate. I don't know what to suggest, but dinner a few nights ago was much better.

I had asked for a table in the bar area but it was full so we were seated in the main dining room instead. It wasn't a big issue, but we had to wait a while before our server came to our table. We ordered a pizza, but it arrived cold and lacked flavor, so we sent it back. Overall, it was a mediocre experience and we likely won't be returning since there are other restaurants with similar offerings.
