HAPPY HOUR!!!

by rararararara

$4 prosecco and lambrusco (a red sparkling wine) and $3 beers. Also, 1/2 price AMAZING homemade lasagnas (I think they always have a vegetarian option) and baked gnocchi... SOOOOO GOOOOD! We had a total of 8 glasses of prosecco (4 each, at 4 bucks each, why not?)

I'll be back, and it's daily, i think 4-7pm

• Pros: Great food, great wine
• Cons: only 8 tables, but we only had to wait five minutes

Vino Rosso is Delightful

by Zaye

The place is cozy, and the owners are wonderful. The Italian wines and food yummy. Want a friendly place off the beaten path, where everyone is friendly, away from all the madness? This is for you and you and you!

• Pros: Thumbs Up! Everything delights.
• Cons: Don't get there often enough

Slice of Little Italy! NICEST Owners - great selection of Italian wines

by freshy

When I am not at the Wild Side West down the street, for a totally different vibe, I go to Vino Rosso. It's great in the sense that the owners make you feel totally welcome and spend a lot of time with you finding out your preferences, etc. before making a wine recommendation. Also, what's interesting is that, I am child-free but this place is super child friendly. The owners usually have their baby hanging out in the back and encourage the mostly neighborhood crowd to bring their own babies. Sounds wierd but it's actually pretty cool. Just like Bernal! Oh, and you can also buy any wine you imbibe to go (which is a good way to save some $$$ once you've found what you like!)

• Pros: Nice to have Italian wines represented - not the typical Cal-only
• Cons: It's small so it is sometimes hard to find a seat
