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.
Do not snooze on joining this very active wine club. There are multiple tastings a week and frequent wine club events at very reasonable prices!The pizza is great here, and we're thrilled they've added pasta to the menu.The bar offers a good beer selection, a few liquor cocktails, and a mind-boggling wine list, plus the bottle shop options.Gratuity is built into the menu pricing. You can choose counter service (good for split checks) or opt for table service in the back.
Great wine store! but variety should improve.
My husband and I visited on Saturday. Parking is limited, you may end up walking a couple of blocks. We came just for a glass of wine and a snack and stayed for a few glasses, pizza, and fries. The parmesan and truffle fries were outstanding! Nice and crisp fries with not too much truffle. We did half-and-half truffle and pepperoni pizza, very good! The crust is on the thinner side but well balanced, nice and chewy and delicious! Apple maps was getting a bit confused when I typed in the name of the restaurant, it wanted to take me to the Los Gatos location, I had to type in the address instead. The menu on the website is quite a bit different than what we experienced on Saturday, could be a difference between locations?
They just added pastas to the menu that day. The Voda Sauce was excellent. The wines were very reasonably priced. Service was great, very friendly.

It's like having three great spots share a space. Excellent wine bar with tastings and wine clubs, sports bar with pizza and craft beer and Italian style sandwiches, Italian market. Outdoor seating, also. Been going here for years and I love the new concept.
What can you say about this place. THE BEST wine selection in San Jose easily. Amazing food, the pizza and charcuterie / cheese board were our favorites. Can not recommend this place enough.
Good food amazing atmosphere Josh Weeks has done it once again.
Great selection of wines.
It's good food, a wine, friendly staff. However, there's a 17% service fee added to the bill, even if the service sucks.
