This restaurant was very romantic, I loved the decor and ambience, our service was excellent, very attentive and quick. The food was very flavorful, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Italian cuisine. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.

This review is for the newest location on Battlefield Blvd.
This was our second visit since opening. The initial visit was just a week after opening so, in fairness, I won't address anything related to that dining experience except for noise. The open area seating isn't conducive to noise attenuation which was also evident on today's visit. On both visits, there was a large group occupying most of the center section and the noise was objectionable. At the old location (near the Great Bridge) there was a back room. That's no longer the case so I'd recommend curtailing large groups.
Specific to today's visit was the service. It took our server a good 10 minutes after being seated before she rushed passed our table to apologize that things were running very slow due to two new servers - and the large group. It took another 6-8 minutes before she returned to take drink orders, and another 10 minutes before the drinks were delivered. Our server arrived a few minutes after the drinks to take our orders. We, and the couple we were with, each ordered an entree and shared a salad. About 30 minutes (and I'm being generous) after we placed our orders, they brought out the entrees. Just as we commented that we expected the salads to arrive first, the salads were brought to the table. As I write this, I'm reminded that the same thing occurred on our first visit, so it appears that training is also an issue. At the very least, we should have been asked if we wanted the shared salads before, or with, the entrees.
With that said, the food was very good. I think it's a bit on the pricey side on some of the dishes but not outrageously so.

My friend and I were really looking forward to trying this place for dinner and drinks. We chose to sit at the bar and began looking through the menu, but unfortunately, we were not acknowledged at all by the bartender. After about 10 minutes of waiting, another couple sat down nearby and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome and offered a drink order.
We made eye contact and said “oh!” hoping to get her attention, and she responded by saying she’d bring us water “in a minute.” At that point, we decided to leave. We walked across the street to Butcher’s Son, where we were greeted right away with a smile and prompt service.
Such a disappointing experience—especially when we were genuinely excited to check this place out.

Love the new location. Atmosphere, food and service were great. Join Christy at the bar for an exceptional evening. Whether celebrating an occasion or having a quiet dinner, she treats you right.

Made reservations in person with bar manager, doubled check we had the reservations for the next night before we left ....when we arrived our reservation wasn't to be found 🤔 and we ended up waiting an hour for our table 🤦🏼♀️
Waited over an hour when had a reservation. Pizzas are no longer wood fire . Seems like this place lost something when it moved . Average food

Since moving great bridge locations the food has gone completely downhill. On two occasions I have ordered at the new location for me and my family and not even wanted to eat the food it was so nasty.

Excellent meal, beautiful decor, and wonderful service. The lasagna and Chicken Parmesan were so good. Sydney, our server, was kind, attentive, and efficient. We will be back!

We were a little disappointed on this visit to the new location of Vino’s. Our server Kelsey was great - friendly and helpful. The menu stated side salad with an entree was $4; however we were charged $5. When we inquired about the discrepancy she told us Oh $4 or $5. The food was displayed beautifully and we loved the fresh pasta. The sauce and chicken Parmesan was not very flavorful. We will give this location another try.
