Vinarius Wine Bar & Restaurant

EVERYTHING about this restaurant is wonderful. The food, the service, the hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner, and the staff made it feel very special. It was our first time here, but it won't be our last. Wish I could give it an extra star... it was THAT GREAT.

The happy hour appetizer board plus 2 drinks can't be beat. 4 of us split one. I had the sea bass which without a doubt was the best I've ever had. Our guests split a fettuccine which they said was delicious. The service was superb Can't wait to go back there.

Excellent Experience. We were early but owner accommodated us. My child was celebrating his birthday and he loved the experience. ! Top Notch Service, Excellent Foot , Great hospitality. This is going to be go to dinner spot when I visit SD Again

Impressive wine list/choices great pricing and pours. Attentive service in a convivial but not noisy environment. Excellent bruschetta, lasagne and fish...great value

Food & service was OUTSTANDING, as ALWAYS. Vanarius is our FAVORITE restaurant in Little Italy.

Wonderful service. Staff are very attentive and pleasant. Food had wonderful flavors and was a delight to eat. All around great experience.

Vinarius is a neighborhood favorite. Best food in Little Italy as far as we are concerned & we've tried most if not all! Definitely need reservations - this is a very small intimate place, which is one of the reasons it is so great.

Was a important day for me, I proposed to my girlfriend and everything was wonderful, the food amazing, he vibes, everything, thank you Francesco and all the team, I'll come back a thousand times more!

Delicious, truly. From the selections on the menu, the plate presentation and the food tasting amazing, for appetizers we had the artichoke which tasted delicious, i had the seabass on top of a risotto. 💯 recommended.

I had researched restaurants for weeks before our visit to San Diego for my birthday and stumbled across this gem, so I immediately had reservations made.

We ate here for my birthday during Valentine’s Day weekend and received the absolute best service. The owner, waitstaff, and environment were all wonderful, and everyone made sure I felt special on my birthday.

Had a wonderful dinner with friends. The appetizers and meals were top notch and the service was excellent. Reminded me of our trip to Italy with the staff being Italian and very accommodating with a meal that was not on the menu. Definitely prepared with love. Will return to this restaurant my next trip to San Diego.

Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Ordered a lasagna and it was very home made tasting! The bruschetta appetizer was also excellent. I highly recommend the restaurant when in San Diego!
