Authentic Italian winebar
by isistella
November 08, 2006
This is one of the best wine bars I've been to. The owners are running it and one is from Italy. They really know their wine. The sample is a great deal - $9 for three 2oz samples. They had some excellent and pricey bottles open last time that we got to sample. The ambience is great, the customers are happy and relaxed and friendly. I tried the pasta dish once and it was good. The tiramisu was nothing to write home about, so I think they should work on that. This is a great place to go hang out with friends or even just to chill on your own. It's also a great date spot too as it has romantic appeal.
- Pros: High quality of wines; Knowledgable owners providing excellent service; Intimate relaxed space
- Cons: None
Amarone by the glass...

Best lasagna I've ever had, hands down (notice I didn't say outside of Italy...) Great wines by the glass. When I was there they had Amarone by the glass, YUMM!!!
They have great salads too, I recommend the arugula salad, generous, fresh and perfectly dressed. I think our server was one of the owners because he had an Italian accent and seemed to know more about the wines and Italian food than a normal server would... all in all, we had a great night at this cute, inviting little wine bar.
- Pros: Great food, great wine
- Cons: only 8 tables, but we only had to wait five minutes

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

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

for a small place, the people at VinoRosso carry themselves with great professionalism and the care of a "mom-and-pop" kinda place.
The variety of wines they have are trendy but well picked, and if you add to that the personalize attention this people give you, you can imagine what a cozy place this is. Go ahead!..try it, you'll love it.
- Pros: good service, nice atmosphere, lovely people
- Cons: more pasta options!!.....bigger antipasto dish!!....but i am not complaining!
Proudly Italian neighborhood wine bar in Bernal Heights.

In Short
This tiny corner boite is bright and lively, with for about 16 people. A wooden display case of select wines (roughly 80 percent Italian varietals, the rest local) covers one wall, and wee two- and four-top tables on a clay floor are lit by floor-to-ceiling windows. Husband-and-wife owners Vega and Giuseppe Manna craft stuzzichini (nibbles such as olives, figs and almonds), cheese and salami plates, salads and one housemade pasta daily to go with the wines.
