The waiter could not have done any less. He gave us the menus as we walked in to seat ourselves without saying anything. Gave us our wine and food without a word as well (even though we ordered $250 worth of food and wine). He clearly either hated us and his job lol.
We were there for a good amount of time and he did not check up on us once, the place was not busy at all. We are also a pretty easy going group, it’s not like we asked for a lot but just overall lack of care and attitude makes this establishment someplace I would not recommend people spending their money.
He eventually left without saying his shift was over and did not tell his coworkers we were still upstairs in the patio. We eventually had to go downstairs to ask for the check.

Made reservations for my birthday to enjoy some nice calm time with my friend and stay out of the exhausting heat. However, to my surprise, we were sat at the rooftop with the scorching heat and the service did not seem to exist. It took a while for someone to take our order. By the time we were able to order, we were all drowning in our sweat, and then we asked to be moved indoors and it did not seem to be of any better. It was still excruciatingly hot and on top of that, the food that was ordered never made it to the kitchen. My friends and I waited a whole 1.5 hours to find out that our food was never submitted to the kitchen for prep. I have never had a more disappointing, unwelcoming service, and I have spent time at a winery in my entire life. My entire group honestly felt ignored most of the time. It was truly a disappointment. I wanted to like this winery, but I now have other thoughts, unfortunately.

Consistently great wine & experience. We’ve been coming here for years when visiting SD. Hard to beat the atmosphere on a nice day! Thanks for doing what you do.

Pali for trivia is such fun. The service is always impeccable and the wines are so tasty. Noise from airplanes is uncontrollable but just gives time to pause an sip your wine. Love Pali.

Wine Wednesdays & Comedy Nights?! Be weary...
Went with some friends on a reservation for half off bottles of wine on their Wednesday special but there was zero communication or posting from staff that the special applies to ONLY the front patio... We learned this the hard way... The bottles were already high ticketed and half off made slightly more sense... however the sticker shock that our table and the surrounding ones experienced was not cool. Our friends had been there the week prior and was told about the special to come back for and with a comedy night that was pay as you go for tipping the acts seemed like too good to be true... it was...
As for as the event, it was well staffed with very attentive servers who uncomfortably had to field our confusion of the "special" and it put them in a position that was not fair. Their service and attention to detail otherwise was excellent and their food menu had solid veggie options which was nice to see if you're looking for that.
All in all, communication up front about the back patio being excluded from the special would have gone a long way....

Pali Wine Co in Little Italy is a little gem! if we lived here, we would be going to this place often. Happy hour is amazing! For $20 you get to enjoy the most amazing Smashburger, fabulous potatoes, and a glass of wine or beer. Service was relaxed and the wait staff was just delightful. Try it out! 
Had an amazing experience at Pali. Really good wine selection, great staff, and overall nice place to hang out with friends over a couple glasses and some tasty bites. I recommend their ‘Blood Moon' red wine by Neighborhood Winery!

We had the croquetas, 23' Gamay, and 22' Nat Veo wines. Everything was delicious and beautiful, tranquil atmosphere.

We had the fizzy pink and syrah and both were no good. The syrah was sweet and sour. The service also had a lot to be desired. 3 bartenders and waited 30 minutes to get a check....while sitting at the bar...but didn't actually get a check. Just left cash to cover the wines+tip and left.

We love Comedy Night at Pali Wine, and would give it 5 stars if they had one or two vegan options. Other than olives. The outdoor patio area is very pleasant even with the roar of airplanes passing overhead. We always have a good time.
It was a fun place to try wine and get a little appetizer. It was everyone's first time trying wine and we thought it was good. The only critique is that there was a girl named Shayla that was so rude/ made us super uncomfortable. She made us feel like we were an inconvenience.
