“Highly recommend this restaurant! The house salad was the best salad I’d ever had. The cocktails are wonderful; the tender even accommodated my special request. The entrees were sumptuous; we got the Italian sausage pasta and the salmon. We travel through Charlottesville twice a year and dine here on our way up and back each year. It’s my favorite part of our trip. Service is excellent.“

“Wow wow wow! Found this place while going for a run on the Rivanna Trails and immediately ran home to force my husband on a coffee date with me. We love Grit coffee and Cou Cou Rachou so this is a match made in heaven. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunny day with ample amount of seating options incomparable to other coffee joints in the area. I really liked the cold brew and croissant. Definitely considering this as a place to bring friends when they come to town.“

“Service excellence. Perfect setting. Fantastic food. Everything was great“

“Stunning new space in Charlottesville!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Tastings of Charlottesville’s wine dinner on 2/24, as a belated Valentine’s Day celebration. The evening focused on wines from Burgundy — specifically Côtes de Beaune and Pommard — and featured producer Domaine Rougeot.

We really love learning about wine (especially when it comes to pairing it with food) and we value educational experiences that are both insightful and free of pretension. We know that’s a delicate balance to strike, and Tastings absolutely hit the mark! 👏

The evening started with some Catsmo smoked salmon canapés, paired with one of the best traditional-method sparklings I’ve had: Vitteaut-Alberti Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Blanc de Blancs. Trust me when I say you need to get a bottle!

The first picture showcases the flight of White Burgundies with a really delicious and cozy coq au vin. Our favorite wine was the third, Domaine Rougeot’s 2022 Saint-Romain “La Combe Bazin.” The nose alone was one of the most gorgeous I’ve experienced in quite some time — truly a stunning bouquet.

The second picture is of the flight of Pinot Noirs. With the reds, we enjoyed a lovely petite tenderloin and “Ma’s Scalloped Potatoes.” Of the second flight, our favorite wine was again the third. This time, it was Domaine Rougeot’s 2022 Pommard “Clos des Roses,” a natural, organic Pinot Noir from a walled monopole vineyard.

The evening concluded with a thoughtfully-curated cheese plate, Deb’s cookie of the week (a yummy oatmeal raisin), and a delightful taste of 2016 Bouchard Père & Fils Pommard.

We *thoroughly* enjoyed ourselves! The food, wine, and company were excellent. We can’t wait to visit Tastings for another wine dinner in the future! 🥂🍷“

“The food was delicious and the service was wonderful.“

“I recently had the BEST SALAD of my life at Bizou (the roasted beet, mango + goat cheese salad!) It was a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in summer, sitting in the lovely shade of a patio umbrella, a chilled glass of Virginia-made Rose wine…. A quintessential Charlottesville experience. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend!“

“Authentic Italian food! Our waitress Modesta was amazing! Best meal we have had while visiting the area!“

“The ambiance was modern, dimly lit and cozy. Our specialty drinks were a treat. We both had the pork schnitzel. The best we've ever had, bar none. Huge and crispy with seasoned greens and spaetzel. Perfect for a special celebration or upscale outing“
