Sweet little wine bar in Cole valley

I came during one of their happy hours and it did not disappoint. As an aside, the hours of operation for their happy hour are very generous. The owner was very friendly and despite being one of two people in there when I visited, he was open to make conversation with anyone interested. I came to finish off my work but unfortunately they do not have wifi. This wasn't a huge issue though because the ambiance more than made up for it. The interior is moody, warm, and transports you out of San Francisco. A book would have made a perfect pairing, not a computer, for the setting. The food and wine were also amazing. The pizza I ordered was light and delicious with the beer crust on a pizza I've ever had. The crowd started to pick up right before their break so depending on the vibe you're looking for, I'd recommend going in the early afternoon for quiet and closer to closing for a lively environment.

Nice little wine shop in the Cole Valley neighborhood. Came here on a Friday for happy hour, we got a couple glasses of wine, the squash blossoms and a margherita pizza. It was all tasty and the wine was good! Would definitely come back here. Good service too :)

Quiet, lovely, and intimate space. Live close to this and see many locals also go here. Food is slightly on the pricier side but it is a wine bar, that's to be expected. Staff are always willing to answer any questions about the wine. They welcome you to try the wine too.

Great neighborhood place. The food is unassuming, but very tasty. The pizza slap w/ pesto drizzle!! Great service as well. Good on a summer day to sit outside and sip some vino.

Great pasta and pizza. The ambiance is cozy and charming here. I love the open concept of the kitchen and watching them cook. Indoor and outdoor seating. We got the rigatoni with red sauce and the salsiccia and broccolini pizza. Well priced for serving size. We walked in no reservation on a Saturday night @ 730. Highly recommend!

I didn't like this place at all.The food is pretty bad and the prices are way to expensive.We taste the Pizza and Torteliny and we didn't enjoyed it at all.The worst part was when I ordered the pasta and then she pushed me to take some addition on top of it. I tought it is like cheese which you get for free, but apparentely is costs an extra 10 (!!!) dollars. I think when you offer something it wiprth mention it cost money and specially if it is so expensive.

Great wine and cheese plate

This is really disappointing to write because this used to be my weekly neighborhood spot for a long time!! I’ve brought so many people here too!! But now I think there a lot of new staff & also different people in the kitchen. Because slowly the service started getting bad, then the wines were very mediocre. So I stop eating in & just getting take out. That was fine for a little, but then gnocchi started being made very bland & the rigatoni sooo salty it was gross. Seriously such a shame. This place was part of my rotation for so long and it’s now definitely out for sure.

Was very excited to try this place out due to the great reviews but I was underwhelmed. I would give it a 3.5/5. Ambiance - cure and romantic, dimly lit. However it is so small inside and the tables are placed very close together, making it tough to hear each other. It was also incredibly hot and stuffy when we went during the winter. Service - friendly and warm staff Food - we got the persimmon salad which was delicious; the broccolini was fresh and tasty, the red sauce pasta was good but nothing to rave about, and i personally would skip the pizzas (which were more like large fluffy flatbreads). Food was decent, but nothing special. Wine - i tried three different wines that were all recommended (a pinot noir, blend, and cab) but unfortunately didn't love any of them. That being said, it's nice that they do half pours of their wines which means you can try more!

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!

This place is an absolute neighborhood gem!The only reason I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it is inconsistent during Happy Hour.In late July, I went with two friends and had the best dry sparkling rose and spritz - appetizers were all wonderful.Today, the sparkling rose on the happy hour menu was $12. I really don't mind paying more because "it's organic and bio-dynamic", but I felt I was drinking a grapefuit juice. The crostini with burrata were not good because the burrata was cold and not at ambiant temperature. I think the staff was not the same as usual and the overall menu was completely off.It's such a great place... I hope it comes back to where it was back during the Summer.
