Ancora Vino by Enoteca La Storia

Just wanted to say that paying this bill for the “Grande Tavola “ a focaccia and a bottle of wine was crazy.
We were 4 people and we literally had to divide everything in portions, look at picture 🤦🏼‍♀️when we were said that it was gonna be huge.

Also the waitress came with the bottle of wine already opened which is something I have never seen anywhere. We couldn’t even taste the wine first and we don’t know for how long it has been opened. Is it really an enoteca?

The quality of meats is the same of Supermarkets.
I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Very disappointing .

Picked up a few bottles here over the past couple of years, and it's become one of my go-to wine shops. Last time I was lucky enough to find a Chianti Classico with the Gallo Nero seal at a very reasonable price — a great bottle for the money. Too bad it's not in stock at the moment, but the overall selection here is excellent. Good range across regions and price points, with plenty worth discovering. Staff know their stuff without being pushy, which I appreciate.

We hosted a graduate mixer here and had a fantastic experience. The venue was clean, inviting, and perfect for our event. The pizza was excellent, and the champagne and wine were a hit with our guests. The staff were friendly, professional, and very accommodating. Highly recommend for private events!

No restaurant should take 18% tip automatically for a party of two...it should be earned and then offered.

Great wine shop with knowledgeable staff! They have a good mix of imported and domestic wines at all price points plus monthly tasting events. Shop locally at a place that goes the extra mile to find great wines and hidden gems.

WE joined the wine club about a year ago and love it! The wines are delightful and so fun to try new things. We always learn something and we meet great people too. Staff is fabulous and take very good care of us.

We love our local Ancora Vino space, wine club and hang out spot. The monthly wine is a refreshing mix of wines I would otherwise not know. Service is friendly and knowledgeable.

I’m so happy we discovered this little gem of a place where you can get amazing wine for reasonable prices. The curation of wines to suit all tastes is incredible. I never leave there without at least 1 bottle, usually more. I love the events that are well managed and give you opportunities to drink lovely small vineyard wines, that you may not have visibility to, in an unpretentious and open atmosphere. The wine clubs have something for everyone and come with a built in socialization and connection to others in the community. Whenever I have a guest come, we head here for tasty food and lovely wine. Louise has made me feel like one of the family from the very first day I stumbled across this location and joined the club.

I love coming here and enjoy a wonderful glass of wine with friends and family. The atmosphere is so cool, and the staff was perfect. If you haven't been, give them a try!

Delicious pizza in San Jose's Little Italy. We had the pepperoni pie and it was great fresh out of the oven. Our friends are regulars here and always get the truffle mushroom pizza. If you like wine, this is the place for you. The owner cultivates a wide range of locally sourced wines. I don't drink, so I can't give specifics. If you are in downtown San Jose you have to visit them

Will work for a weekend spot, weekdays are dead - mandatory service charge for even 1 or 2 people

AUTOMATIC 18% UPCHARGE! I am fine to pay a great tip for great service but this place adds 18% without you, the customer having a say. I went for a single person "happy hour" and when I asked management about it they "escorted" me out. I would avoid the palace at all cost.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ancora Vino in Little Italy in San Jose. The charcuterie and wine were perfect for a light bite. The staff were so nice and very knowledgeable of the choices on their menu. A warm and wonderful experience! I look forward to another visit and maybe a NY style pizza next time.

We enjoyed a great fresh, hot pizza and a glass of primitivo. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine with a meal. Fun urban vibe. We’ll be back!

Visiting San Jose for the first time and the bartender was fantastic. The Margarita with their homemade mix hit the spot. Great ambience.
