Solo Vino By Enoteca La Storia

It's good food, a wine, friendly staff. However, there's a 17% service fee added to the bill, even if the service sucks.

My friends and I have been to this restaurant (NY style pizzeria and Chicago style beef sandwiches), deli, wine bar, and they do have quite a few selections of beer on tap as well. Pizzas and Chicago style beef and sausage sandwiches are good. We like this place, but we think they still do not have their business pricing model for wine and canned beers figured out. I asked the wine server behind the counter for a bottle of organic wine which he recommended a Sauvignon Blanc (with a screw top) retailed for $36. I ended up paying $84 for cork fee and other additional fees. Pricey even for the Bay area. Ok, you may be saying, I wouldn 't have paid that much for that wine , but in my mind, we like this place so much that I want this business to survive. I probably was not doing them a favor. I did talk to their sommeliers and asked them if they would pay $84 for that bottle of wine but they couldn 't answer. Instead they were trying to justify for the price but obviously they couldn 't. Their focus was on having you join their wine club. What if you just want to enjoy a bottle of wine without joining the club? I ended up leaving the place letting them know that I didn 't want to make a scene and my friends and I wanted to come back. My wife and I lived in Chicago in the past for decades and as many of you may know, Italian culture including their food is abundant in Chicagoland. I do believe that this place can represent the types of food, drinks, and environment that my wife, my friends, and I longed for. There are too many restaurants with potential going out of business in which we do not want this place to be one of them. Please do hire a consultant who can help you with this challenge.By the way, during my first visit, I paid $40+ for their 4 cans of their signature God Father logo beer with the same reasoning as I mentioned above. Godspeed Enoteca La Storia/Bibo 's/Torino.

This place is great! I went recently and sat at the bar and had the best conversations with the bartender. He told us all about the building and all three different sections. One is a pizza place (Bibo's). The other is a wine bar and the last is an Italian deli shop and small market. They're each owned by different people, but you can order from one place.I tried something from each location. The wines were fantastic. You have a great selection from all over the world. They paired well with the food I got. I ordered the Burrata, Meatballs and The Romance sandwich. Each item was very good, but my favorite was the meatballs.I'd highly recommend trying out this building. They have a nice patio for seating if you have a larger number of people with you.I'll definitely be back!
