You like a great atmosphere and delicious food. Then you found the right place. Dishes that you will be coming back for time and time again. Not to mention the wonderful service that you will receive.

The Lasagna would have easily fed 2, or 3. Homemade Tiramisu was luxurious.

The atmosphere is very nice. And the service was good. However, for the price I paid it was not good. I have been there a few times before and always get the lasagna......soooo delicious. But this time I rolled the dice and got Salmon atop a pile of mushy, gross canellini bean mash. The salmon was dry and no flavor and the broccoli was straight out of the bag. Hard and not warm. The best part of the meal was the bread.

Makenna(sp?) provided us with excellent service. Our food tasted delicious and filled us up. Both my wife and I had left-overs! We will certainly be coming back! Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service!

Every bite was an ecstatic experience. My boyfriend and I both agreed, it's the best food we've ever had, anywhere, bar none. I highly recommend the lasagna. Lovely staff, as well.

First and last time customers. Who the hell charges for a soda refill? Soda alone was $10. If you offer a $40 steak you should probably know how to prepare it. Steak was just blah, no flavor behind it. Wife's dish was the same, no taste to it. The bread they serve is very much like the garlic bread you take and bake from the grocery store. Overall take, too expensive for what it is. $109 out the door.

The atmosphere is cool, but the food sucks. The fettuccine Alfredo was bland and didn’t taste good, and the pasta with pesto had no flavor. Also the garlic bread they give you seems like the stuff you’d get frozen from the grocery store. Not worth it.

Pretty cool place but service was extremely slow. The food was good but not great.

We had a wonderful time at Vino's on a Tuesday night . The bar/library dining was really cool . Dimly lite which was perfect . We had a bottle of Malbec , Chicken parmesan (fantastic) and the insalata caprese app. and the famous bread . I tell you the BREAD is so good . What a fantastic meal. Our server (apologies for not remembering your name ) was great.
All in all you need to eat here or your missing out . We will be back .

Amazing.

Upon reading some of the other reviews, it appears quite a few people have had the same issue with service as we did. We had a reservation for a group of 8 of us. Sat for over 20 minutes waiting for a server or anyone on staff to acknowledge our table and grab our drink orders. Servers constantly walking by us. The hostess that sat us doing the same thing. We finally grabbed the hostess attention (who was on her phone) and asked if we had a server. Finally a waitress came over and said she hadn't seen us nor did she know we were her table. I'm not sure how you miss the largest group in the very small restaurant? I don't know if it was the hostess at fault or the server but it seems they need to have better communication when a table gets seated. Once we finally had a server she did a good job taking care of us. The food was ok. A little bland for my liking but overall decent.

The more authentic Italian entrees were delicious. The bread served was just okay. The service was very attentive and excellent. The Book Room where we were seated had more of a European feel with the seating (close together) which was neat, until the elder group on one side was whining about the server and other side was discussing a family conflict. We decided that although the desserts looked good, we were done being in-between drama. It was great food though!

Another hidden gem so much so the entrance lobby appears as a library and the dim lighting and library atmosphere is one of a kind experience!

One of the worst experiences we've ever had at a restaurant.
