“ Cozy date night spot with delicious Italian wines and choice cheese and meat plates. We shared the truffle gnocchi which was exquisite-- service was wonderful. Inside seating is close and intimate but the overall vibe reminds you why you love little nooks in SF. ”
“ Stopped in after work for birthday celebrations with friends. As many times as I've been by over the years I hadn't been in. We got seated right away and it's really cute inside. It's cozy and intimate and has outdoor seating as well. Eric was our server and helpful with questions, friendly, and even brought out a bday dessert! We ordered a bottle of wine for the table and a cheese board. Everything was great and looked and tasted wonderful. Can't wait to come back and would love to try more of the food. ”
“ My boyfriend and I stumbled on InoVino on a Friday evening. They have limited seating but we luckily didn't need reservations to snag a table and got a spot of their outdoor patio. (My boyfriend did appreciate the overhead space heaters on the patio). Our server was friendly, timely, and had recommendations for wine and food. We each got a glass of wine and shared one of their meat and cheese boards. I would be interested to try it again, but explore more of their food options. It was a fun way to kickoff the weekend ”
“ Mi Piace di morire. Love this place, I came for a friends' birthday. The owner is so passionate about his food. Lovely Atmosphere! The orange wine e delicioso! ”
“ Great neighborhood spot. The staff here are a joy, they know their wine, really help you find a great glass or bottle to enjoy. The staff's energy is evident how they work the room and outside tables. The food compliments the wine, simple, savory and just a gem in the neighborhood. ”
“ Aside from the food being a bit lukewarm, this place has a wonderful ambiance, very attentive staff and a great selection of delicious wines! I would recommend treating this like a wine bar and not a restaurant. If you do decide to order food, I would avoid the Rigatoni All' Amatriciana--it was disappointing for complete lack of flavor. Instead, I would pair the Butter & Sage Pasta with your wine if you want a light yummy snack. ”
“ Amazing wine bar in Cole Valley! Outdoor and indoor seating. Every time I drink wine & eat charcuterie, it brings me back to Spain & Italy where life moves more slowly. Excellent service, and good food & drinks. They have happy hour EVERY DAY (3-5 pm), I was there Saturday shocked that they had HH on a weekend. And it's 25% off EVERYTHING. Food & drinks 5/5: - single cheese charcuterie ($9 HH): nuts, side of jam, bread & cheese, simple & delicious - glass of red wine ($9.75 HH) - olives ($3.75) - side of prosciutto ”
“ Wine bar with a homey vibe and fantastic Italian food! Highly recommend InoVino! Ambiance & Service: The inside is small but well-spaced, giving it a rustic, wholesome feel. The service was excellent--attentive and relaxed! Food & Drink: - Orange Wine: We shared a bottle of their natural orange wine, which was wonderfully tart and not too sweet! - Cheese/Salami Board: They made us a delicious board with prosciutto and pecorino. The bread was soft and fluffy! - Rigatoni all' Amatriciana: This pasta was incredible! The sauce was savory and slightly spicy, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. TL;DR: Perfect wine bar for a relaxed happy hour or dinner. We loved the Orange Wine, Cheese/Salami Board, and Rigatoni! ”
“ This is a local favorite for my wife and I. Their happy hour is great. Always new interesting wines to try. The margarita pizza is not your typical margarita pizza. It's thicker and rectangular. But still delicious. We usually get the herbed almonds. I like the pickled vegetables too. All are on the happy hour menu. The service is VERY nice. The place is tiny inside, but romantic. It's a great date spot. For dinner I recommend the gnocchi. It's pretty epic. I highly recommend this place! ”
