Vino Lafayette

This is a cozy Italian restaurant where I had the best pasta I've ever tasted! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is amazing (you will be pleasantly surprised)! I will definitely return to try more dishes!

Vino is a hidden gem! The linguini I had was absolutely delicious. The owner, Castro, reminds me of the grumpy grandpa we all have, but he is actually quite warm and welcoming. He even played the piano! It was a really unique and intimate dining experience. I will definitely be returning!

I love Vino 's Restaurant. Vino is a character and makes dining there fun! The food is always fresh and excellent. Vino greets you, serves you and plays the piano for you providing an overall delightful experience. We have had several family dinners there and brought business clients there for a treat, as well As a realtor selling homes in Lamorinda, I like to provide my client 's with a Gift Certificate to enjoy his character cuisine at their own leisure, as well as entertaining clients during the course of our touring. My family, including the vegetarian daughter all enjoy breaking bread at Vinos and I think the other reviewer must have gone there on an off night. All I can say is that Vino 's is not a place for a quiet evening, it is a place to have fun and enjoy your excellent meal! He is correct that it is not a spacious restaurant. It is a reasonably priced place where you do get to know your neighbors and usually a jovial chattering amongst people at the nearby tables takes place. This is a friendly establishment that I hope to enjoy for many years to come.

Greetings, food lovers! If you haven't visited Vinos yet, you are truly missing out on an amazing experience! The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the owner is a lovely person. If you're lucky, he may even serenade you on the piano while you dine!

The owner is a little bossy but I think that's part of the charm of this place. I thought the food was average (I am hard to please when it comes to Italian food) but my friends loved it!
