50 Best Wine Bars near West Newton

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome place to discover fun wines from some fine wine regions! Their snacks are super bien, too! We had a flight of wines because there were too many good ones to decide, some empanadas, and a full glass of the winning wine. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The vibes were vibing. Adding Super Bien to our rotation of hangout spots. Definitely recommended!!“

“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. 😂“

“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!“

“I went for the first time earlier this week, and I thought it was great! Firstly they were very gracious about my indecisiveness on where I wanted to sit, and allowed me to switch tables. Twice. The bev list had a solid selection of natural wines from some of my favorite producers, but I ended up ordering a glass of one I've never tried before - a skin contact Carricante which matched nicely with the light char on our pizza. The food was fresh and vibrant, our server was attentive and engaging (sorry hun, I forgot your name, even though I asked a couple times, but you deserve a shout-out). Long story short, I went in hungry and slightly grumpy, I left happy and with a satisfied stomach.“

“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.“

“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. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“Went to Capital Grille Boston tonight to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is amazing (hello Kona crusted filet mignon and espresso martini), and the staff is all super friendly. The service is exceptional and our amazing server, Malik, made our night feel very special. If you want to celebrate something special or have good steak on Tuesday, this is where you come. Ask for Malik!!“

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“My friend and I had a surprisingly good dinner. I went with low expectations. However both entries, sea bass and river trout, were delicious. I was totally surprised. Beautiful fish. Our server, who was relatively new to his job handled our table like a long-time pro. I will return.“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“I come here regularly, and my husband and I always choose this place to celebrate our birthdays and anniversaries — it never disappoints! The food is always amazing, and the service is top-notch. John is the best waiter — friendly, attentive, and always makes us feel special. Highly recommend!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“If you’re looking for well-known dishes without unnecessary fuss, but prepared to absolute perfection, this is the place to go. Unfortunately, the service felt a bit unmotivated. However, the food was so outstanding that it still fully deserves five stars.“

“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“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“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!“

“Our party of 14 had the wonderful opportunity for the private room Sunday June 5th. The 50th anniversary party was treated royally by Ron and Sharon. Their service and knowledge of the entrees was spot on. The kitchen staff didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit just needed to be acknowledged! Thank you.“

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.“

“Consistently wonderful. I've been to other Capital Grille restaurants. Appreciate the consistency and quality! Steak with lobster added was a great options. Sides and creme brule. All on point and service was great. Spaced out food and just enough attention.“

“Adrian was the best service we have had in a long time. Great place ask for him if you want great service. Will be back.“

“Ok so i’m an italian food snob… hated it before I even walked through the door! Party of 14 my classmates from 1979 MHS & we know food! OK it was freakin fabulous! From the service(AMAZING) to the antipasto to the espresso (it was perfect!!!!) to the tiramisu!!!
I had two italian restaurants one for over 20 years! This place ROCKS!!!

I’ve gone there several times since my last review…absolutely still top notch! I met 22 of my classmates there Sunday night…we had our own room downstairs after pregaming with wine upstairs! Absolutely THE BEST place to have a party with excellent food! I will find out the maximum of people they hold…we had such an amazing evening! Food was excellent service was excellent….anything you can think of was excellent! I will never go anywhere else in Mass for Italian….Vinnys stole my heart a long time ago and is still the absolute best Italian food around! Thank you Vinny’s!!!! We all had the BEST TIME EVER‼️“

“Mark and Toni's in the Cushing Square area of Belmont is a great casual lunch and dinner spot. The pizzas are cooked in a coal fired oven that heats the pizza at a very high temperature so they are ready quick. It's a thin Neapolitan style pizza with fresh toppings. I recommend the buffalo chicken pizza, pepperoni or vegetable if you are a vegetarian. Also not to be missed are their coal fired chicken wings, burgers, salads and cheesesteak subs. They also have a beer and wine bar. Order at the takeout counter and then they will come over to the bar to serve you is my best advice as there isn't always a server at the bar. Also, the owner Vahe is a very nice man and welcoming to all guests. It's a local family run business.“

“Great venue! I recently hosted a birthday at Common Craft and it was a hit! The option of different taps offering local beers, wines, and spirits make it the perfect place for all! Food was also great and the event coordinator worked with me to curate the perfect menu. Would highly recommend Common Craft to anyone looking for an event space.“

“Excellent and creative options. Enjoyed a cocktail too.“

“I have been coming to the Hearth for many years...the staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxing and comforting, and the food and beverages are from local sources, well prepared, tasty and satisfying. The owners and management have also shown a dedication to supporting the arts by encouraging local musicians to play at the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Always make a priority of coming here when in Boston. The service is excellent and they’ve come to add an even more personal touch as I’ve gone back again and again. Sitting at the counter viewing the kitchen is a must. You see all the action and gorgeous plating as it takes shape.
Absolutely recommend the wine pairings. They are always interesting but also approachable, sophisticated but never intimidating or overwhelming.
Also recommend opting in for the foie gras special when they have it. It changes with the seasons (as does the rest of the menu) and I’ve loved it every time.
Overall a great experience and fabulous meal every time!“

“We recently used Putterham Grille to cater the Brigham and Women's Anesthesia Clinical Research Assistants Holiday Party, and the experience was exceptional! The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to satisfy both carnivores and vegetarians alike. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

The team at Putterham Grille was professional and accommodating, ensuring that all dietary preferences were thoughtfully addressed.

If you're looking for a caterer that delivers on taste, quality, and variety, Putterham Grille is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for any event!“

“Highly recommend this place. Tried the Breakfast Sandwich and Cuban sandwich they are delicious Sonsie also has a very good selection of drinks from best cappuccino. Our server Mateo was very professional and attentive. Manager GP and Dawn also visited us. They are friendly and they enhance our very best dining experience. Thank you Sonsie We will return.“

“Fabulous like the sister one in south end“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“Great customer service, some of the best coffee, great waffle, will visit again!“

“Nice place for a celebration! Great food and customer service!!“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. We were greeted and seated right away, and our server Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. His recommendations were spot on — from the cocktails and calamari to my husband's 26oz cowboy ribeye and my filet mignon with crab cake. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the sides were delicious. Dessert was a highlight, especially the bread pudding, which outshone even the excellent cheesecake. The extra touch of having our leftovers boxed table-side made the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend asking for Joe!“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“
