50 Best Wine Bars near Newton

“Mida is a great restaurant. Food is interesting and delicious. Team service is amazing. Atmosphere vibrant (a little noisy for me but rather have the energy than silence). Great for a date or special occasion or just for fun. A good addition to Newtonville.“

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!“

“We visited haley.henry on a Friday night around 5pm. The staff (starting with Hannah, then met Ann Marie, then Meg) was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

The tinned tuna belly with toasted bread made us so happy and easily enough to come back for. The octopus in garlic and olive oil was insane, however. This is the place I'm coming back to every time I visit Boston. What a special place.“

“Delicious desserts and a phenomenal wine selection set in a candle-lit, cozy bar — what more could you ask for!

The friendly staff, excellent records, and purple touches give the bar the coziest, "you're exactly where you're supposed to be" feeling.

The tiramisu with the nerocapitano can't be missed!“

“I loved this place. I had the lamb ribs, they were delicious. Only down side is no gluten free bread!!! There was an option to order cheese without ordering a full charcuterie board. I would dine at Frenchie again. I rated the service 4 stars because when I walked in, the inside was pretty empty and the maître d' asked if I had a reservation. Perhaps that's a standard question for all guests, but I felt awkward because the inside hadn't yet started to get busy - Wednesday night around 6pm - grant it is still light and nice outside (most guests were enjoying the beautiful outdoor seating).“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“My favorite wine bar, specially for after work drinks or girls hangout! Wonderful wine selection, including great orange wine options. Tasty small plates to go with your wine. It’s great for wine and tapas but not really a dinner place in my opinion.“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“It's the Simply Things.... After a stressful day at work or it's mid-week and you're looking for just something to get you through... drop by Flora's Wine Bar. This is my go to place for great drinks and food. James and Corey will surely make you feel at home.“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“This was one of the finest dining experiences we’ve had. We’ve heard about Giulia for months now, reputed as one of, if not the best Italian restaurant in Massachusetts, which meant we had extremely high expectations going in. Combined with the difficulty of getting a reservation due to the popularity (with many nights waiting at 12am sharp hoping that I refreshed fast enough), and finally we had secured a reservation.

The food is heavenly. We ordered the erbazzone and grilled rosemary flatbread for appetizers, and both were so delicious— especially the erbazzone, which was probably the tastiest appetizer I have tasted. I still crave it as I am writing this, and my girlfriend feels the same way. The flatbread was also amazing, though the erbazzone trumps almost anything from the night.

My girlfriend ordered the vegetarian bucatini, and I ordered their famous wild boar pappardelle. Both pastas were excellent, though not as standout as the appetizers. It was really nice to note that they deducted the price for the vegetarian pasta from 28 (which would include meat) to 18, which we really appreciated.

Finally, we ordered the yogurt panna cotta with beach rose, toasted coconut and winter citrus for dessert. Oh my god, this is the greatest food I have tasted in eons. My girlfriend thinks it’s the best thing she has eaten (and we’re both very judgy with food!). Neither of us had thought we would enjoy anything rose-flavored so much, with the taste recurring with each bit of saliva, slowly dissipating with time. It is as if rose bloomed in our mouth, slowly melted to our tongues, and withered away as we bit away and let it wither. The sweetness gave way for the rose, and the rose enhanced the coconut and yogurt tastes. We should have ordered another one.

Overall, this was probably one of the top three meals in my life, and certainly best in the New England area. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to go, and honestly it might even be better to just order their appetizers and desserts without pasta. Their pastas are good, but the appetizers and desserts are on a whole different level. 11/10 experience. Also cute seatings outside on a beautiful afternoon. A shame we forgot to take pictures of the appetizers and desserts because they were SO GOOD. Keep in mind the portion size might be a bit smaller than you would like, but in my opinion it adds to the experience. I hope they get a Michelin recommendation at least, if not a star this year.

Hope this helps to anyone contemplating on securing a reservation!“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Always a favorite. So solid and great to see a few really nice specials on the menu! Fabulous bone in filet. Bread always nice and crème brûlée delicious dessert. Grilled octopus wasn't as grand as expected but can't have it all!“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“Such a cute place and the staff are so knowledgeable. I don’t know much about wine but with a simple conversation about what I like they are always able to help me find something I love that’s also new and exciting.

The food is also delicious. Simple but well balanced and the salads are out of this world. The cod and whatever bean dish they are serving at the time are my other go-tos.“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience.

“We were celebrating friends anniversary. We requested to be seated in the back room and the table that was reserved for us was perfect! The complimentary champagne toast, anniversary message board on the table and complimentary dessert were all such a treat! Service was perfection, even on a busy Friday night.“

“Mooo was amazing. The bartender made a drink not on the menu. The bone marrow appetizer was a fantastic start! We ordered the porterhouse for two, which was cooked perfectly and was amazing! We also got the mushrooms and broccolini as sides. Both were simply prepared and delicious. The server was outstanding. Highly recommend for a special occasion!“

“I have walked by this place for 3 weeks while here on business and they were not opened 😩!! Finally I asked people at the Encore and they had no idea when they were open which was very disappointing! That being said I SCORED!! Friday and Saturday they are open and let me tell you they should be open way more often as this place was beyond phenomenal!! The two stand outs that seriously make this place amazing are Rich and Ayoub!! Honestly the presentation on my board was phenomenal and I forgot to take a photo before devouring it! The wine choice was far better than my original choice. I honestly would have eaten here every day I was here if it would have been open!! Whomever makes these decisions really doesn’t understand what a solid gem this place is and its potential! I honestly am so thankful I decided to check on last time to see if they were open! Thank you so much Rich and Ayoub!! Cheers to a fantastic experience!!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“This was our best experience yet at the Capital Grille. The food was excellent and we took advantage of the wine tasting event. Really enjoyed all the wines. What truly made this night special was our servers. They went out of their way to make it a great experience not just for me and my husband but also for our kids. It was a wonderful evening all around!!!“

“The menu has changed a bit since I was last here, and honestly the new things were great: a peach and cherry "panzanella", which was panzanella in spirit but a completely different take on it; and a Denver steak with wild hen-of-the-wood mushrooms and savory bread pudding, which was just delicious. I ate at the bar, and the bartender Nate was friendly and excellent.“

“I have to say it, this restaurant is amazing.

1. The service is great, well trained and polite.
2. The food is out of this world, I’ve had the duck highly recommend it).
3. Great drinks ?

10/10“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“First time at Geppetto, from start to finish it was an excellent experience while celebrating our anniversary. The staff was attentive, professional and friendly; our waiter Brian was very knowledgeable of both food and wine options and very engaged throughout the evening. The fried mozzarella starter was delicious as were the two pasta dishes we chose from the very appealing menu options- spicy lobster spaghetti and that evening's special, pasta with black truffle and a delectable cheese sauce. Looking forward to returning to Geppetto.“

“Just had food delivered for my birthday last night for the first time. Absolutely amazing quality taste and presentation. My husband and I are both disabled so not going out much. We felt like we experienced being there. Delicious!“
