Vino's is a hidden little gem! My linguini was delicious, the owner Castro reminds me of that grumpy Grandpa we all have, but whose really a softy. He was dancing & playing the piano! It was truly a cool & intimate experience. I will definitely be back!

Three of us dined at this little Lafayette gem on a Thursday night. My spouse had introduced herself to the owner the week prior when we walked by the closed restaurant. He encouraged us to come to dinner the following week when his special was paella. Inviting a friend, we were the first patrons to arrive upon opening at 5PM. We liked the ambiance… a nice, warm, intimate space with about seven tables…even a piano! The 86-year-old owner was quite convivial and shared a bit of his extensive restaurant experience. As we ate our green salads with a glass of red wine (red/white seemed to be the only alcohol served) he played various operatic pieces on the piano. We all loved the paella…a flavorful combination of clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, chicken, sausage on a bed of saffron rice. It was a large serving and all three of us took about half of it home. We finished off with a shared slice of chocolate cake…ganache covered with a taste off rum. Definitely will go again! There was a menu and an index card listing three nightly specials although paella wasn’t listed on the card…sea bass, petrale sole, and one other. I’d suggest calling the night before you want to go to check out the specials and reserve a table. I also believe it is a cash only restaurant.

Very neat and accessible spot. They offer big portions and for fair prices. We loved the food very much and the staff members were very affable and chatty. I recommend this place.

At the first moment you enter this restaurant team give you a good feeling. Very warm stuff, it is a good restaurant to hang out with buddies or with your date. Great cooking, professional chief cook and stuff, modest cost and professional service. Highly recommended.

My son and I stopped by and it was a very pleasant surprise. Not a big place and the owner is very hands on operations. He is a fascinating man that makes you feel welcome with an old world vibe. Food is fresh and very good. My son had the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. I had spicy meatballs and pasta. It was good but didnt taste the spice. Next time I go with the wife. She would love it.

The owner is a hoot. Always great food.

Hello Lovers! If you haven't been to Vino's, you are really missing out on a one of a kind experience! The food is fantastic, the prices are reasonable, and the owner is a wonderful human being! If you are lucky, he may even play the piano while you dine!
The owner is a little bossy but I think that's part of the charm of this place. I thought the food was average (I am hard to please when it comes to Italian food) but my friends loved it!

Delicious homemade Italian food! The owner is a character, and he waits on you and plays the piano! Very quaint, quiet, sweet place.
