Vino Vino

I’ve been here twice now and obviously like it. It’s located right on the corner of San Pedro Square. Kinda wish they had more food choices but if you’re coming just for a glass of wine and conversation, this is the place for that. Wine is ok, I’ve had better. The Smoked Salmon Crostini, DELICIOUS!!! Nice spot to relax over wine and pleasant conversation :)

Had their brie and prosciutto sandwich. I love brie so this sandwich hit the spot and the fig jelly was a nice sweet addition to the brie and salty prosciutto. I just wish there was more brie. Good portion for the price, came with a small side salad.

Wow!
So impressed by this cute little wine bar :) Food and service 5+ stars!
My husband and I don’t make it out to San Jose often but we were out for a little date night and this place caught our eye.
I love the fact that they have so many wines on tap and we were having a hard time picking what we wanted and were able to taste several to see what we liked! We ended up going with a bottle of a Red Blend. Definitely recommend this bottle and I was happy we got to try it first because we probably wouldn’t have gone for it without trying the sample!
Food:
We got the burrata appetizer per our server/bartender’s recommendation and I am so happy we did ! It was amaaaaaaaazing. The cheese literally melts in your mouth and although the flavors of the olive oil and basil seem like a simple and obvious addition, the ingredients used were such a great quality. Crostini that came with it was perfectly toasted and this is just a great dish overall. definitely recommend!
Blue Cheese & Walnut Salad: This was probably the best salad that I have had in a while! Again. it seems so simple but all the different ingredients and flavors created the perfect bite! Also. they are so so generous with the blue cheese! I hate when I order a salad with cheese and there are two little pieces. this was clearly not the case here! so much blue cheese (and it was delicious also). Perfectly dressed with a fig vinaigrette. Will return for this salad for sure!
My husband ordered a panini. the Italian meat and cheese I believe? I didn’t have any of it but he said it was delicious also and completely cleaned his plate!
Oh and our server/​bartender Marina was so incredible also! So warm and inviting and was very patient with our wine indecisions! It was a little crowded when we went and she made sure that we were always taken care of and had us laughing on several occasions.
Overall it was such a great experience and I am already looking forward to come back to try other menu items as well as the desserts!

Not pretentious like a lot of wine places. Service was good and prices were fair. Good reds on tap. Small space, but a nice spot for meeting up with probably 5 or less friends. Had a meat and cheese board and a panini, which were both tasty but not mind-​blowing. I also got a wine flight — I generally find that wine flights are a nice concept but a little more expensive than they should be. I’d go back for the atmosphere and to try their appetizers. I’m not sure how often their wine selection changes, but would considering getting another flight if the tap list rotates often.

Vino Vino is part of the San Pedro Square Market on the corner. They have a cute outdoor patio so they’re not hard to spot! It was my second time visiting this place with a friend over the weekend, and I enjoyed a wine flight.
They had a handful of wines on tap that were available for a flight or just by the glass. The wine servings I thought were reasonable, not as generous as some places would be, but reasonable. Their reds had a bold and fuller taste to them and their white wines tasted refreshing and sweet. I also ordered the cheese and meat plate to go with my flight. You’re able to choose two meats and two cheeses to go with your plate and it comes with bread, honey, homemade mustard, and some fruits on the side. I thought it was pretty filling, delicious, and complimented well with my wines.
The server was also very nice and helpful with helping me pick out what kind of cheeses and meats I wanted to go with my plate, so the service experience was pretty good. Overall, a good spot to drink some wine and chill in a nice, casual environment.

Nice place to grab a couple glasses of wine, paired with a meat and cheese plate, some olives and a desert. You pick the wines, meats and cheeses, so it’s all what you make of it. Good, knowledgeable service. Outdoor seating too. Only about a dozen wines by the glass (many more by the bottle), but they cover the spectrum. My only complaint is that they should have a couple of ports available for desert.

Small place. Has 2 flat screen TVs. Early in the evening don’t need a reservation. I can see how you could later in evening. Lots of small plates for sharing. Liked fig bruschetta a lot. My husband & I ordered the wine flight. No bad selections. My favorite was The Lost Weekender & the Alpha. I tend to like blended reds. The Harvester Chardonnay was good.
Appetizers: edamame was very ok. Olives-​2 selections of green. Too strong for me. DH liked. The paninis were delicious. We had the grilled cheese & the ham & cheese. Cute find. I would come back.

Happy Hour.
Wine wasted.
Charcuterie board.
Bruschetta.
A great catch up session with my girlfriends nibbling on some meat, sipping on fine wine, and having a great time.
Thank you for a wonderful time Vino Vino. Your staff is amazing!
I hope you give this delightful happy hour place a try. Cheers!

This is a nice little wine bar inside of San Pedro Market. Great food selection to go with your wine. Some of the more by the glass wines were ok. Not the best, but not bad. I would say to make a decision together, and split a bottle of the better stuff. Fresh good food.

Cute little wine bar in downtown San Jose. We were walking around after a movie trying to find a place to grab a drink and a snack, Downtown San Jose was a ghost town on a sunday afternoon. A lot of places weren’t even open, we actually didn’t think Vino Vino was open from the outside but luckily it was open and not at all crowded. We grabbed a couple of seats at the bar and were brought menus right away. They have a lot of wines by the bottle as well as the wines on tap available by the glass. We had the olives, the burrata and a charcuterie plate. Everything came out very quickly which was nice. They had a decent food menu so you could definitely come and enjoy a meal here, it seems like it’d be a great lunch spot. I am happy we stumbled across this little gem!

Wonderful selection of wine and appetizers for happy hour~
Cheese + meat plate includes 2 cheese and 2 meat. The cheese we picked were soo good and creamy. Brie cheese goes so well with a slice of apple, bread and some honey.
We also had the brie fig crostini and it was definitely another good choice of appetizer.
Two glasses of wine, cheese plate and the crostini came out to be $ 40. Fairly priced
Recommended!

Vino Vino is a little restaurant tucked away in Downtown San Jose. My brother and his girlfriend introduced me to this charming little place one Sunday lunch. We had some great food. Here are the details:
Grilled truffle cheese panini– This was one of the best paninis I’ve tasted! I loved the truffle flavor, mushrooms, and crispy bread! It was divine! The size of the panini was a little on the small side though! I think I could have eaten another one!
The side salad– I was not a fan of the side salad because the dressing was very lemony. I found the taste to be quite strong and did not think it complemented the meal.
Overall, I loved Vino Vino! Their paninis are great and definitely worth trying if you are in the neighborhood. I wouldn’t come with a huge appetite because the servings are on the small side– but oh so very tasty!

Went here on a FriDATE with my boo. Part of the downtown SJ scene. Just was walking down the street and stumbled upon this place in the evening.
I was attracted to the industrial looking tableware and the bottles of wine on display. I can’t resist wine. We were also looking for a small bite prior to our crawl and this place was perfect after looking at the menu.
We ordered a side of olives, $ 3. And what came out where two types of green sour olives which had the pits in them. Just to nibble at.
We also ordered the cheese and meat plate, $ 15ish, you can choose two cheeses and two meats from the choices provided. We just selected the options from which sounded the most foreign and complicated to pronounce off of the menu. It comes with some bread, slices of apple, grapes, honey, and a red cranberry looking purée/​jelly spread. The combination of the cheeses and meats were interesting and we kept trying to describe what we were tasting. It was fun to mix and match the different flavors together and sip on the wine.
He ordered a watermelon wheat beer which was pretty delish, clean and light, something I’d actually drink and I don’t have a preference for beer. I ordered a glass of Pinot noir. One thing I was disappointed in was that their selection of wines was not comprehensive. You’d think it being a wine bar they’d have everything but not a single moscato on the menu as well as proper wine glassware.
Our bill came out to like $ 35 without tax. Next time I want to get the wine flight which is 4 2oz pours of their wine on tap. I really like the casual ambiance and food selection. Prices were fair as well.

Casual wine & cheese board spot in the San Pedro market!
if you get the chance try to snag the seating on the outside patio since it’s way cuter and probably more enjoyable, we sat inside since all the outside tables were occupied
i wasn’t super impressed by the options but it’s a nice change from the other more grab and go type places inside the San Pedro market

I went there with my BF to watch the game and it was a wonderful experience!
Lea, our server was super attentive and sweet. She made me feel very welcome with all my questions since I felt like a noob. The cheese and meat platter was delicious ! Along with the smoke salmon crostini. Lea also let us try 5 different kinds of wine before actually choosing a glass .
I would definitely come back since they have a huge screen and the place feels cozy.

My girlfriend and I decided to have some wine and cheese on a Saturday night. We’ve been looking at vino vino for quite some time.
When we arrived it seem pretty empty for a Saturday.
Our server was Becca. She was really sweet and was educated about the menu.
For our appetizer we went with the smoked salmon crostini. The bread was a little crunchy for me but I enjoy the smoked salmon with the basil pesto.
For the cheese and charcuterie we went with the cheese and meat plate combo. The price on that was $ 16 pretty reasonable.
We had fra’ mani smoked ham & prosciutto Di Parma for our meat
For our cheese we had mt ham and perfetto pecrorino.
The food was amazing and blended so well with our wine.
Speaking of wine… We had Pinot noir (Alfaro, Santa Cruz) and the Last weekend.
I enjoyed this place but it was a bit cold inside :(

This was a nice place for my first visit.
Small little corner spot in San Pedro square. Had a glass of wine and some appetizers. And what a great happy hour.
We had the burrata and the Brie, fig, and prosciutto crostini. Both so delicious!
Come by and check it out!

I made reservations online, which was super easy to do. They also give free appetizer to first time visitors if you sign up online. Check out the website. We got the salmon crostini for our freebie.
I ordered the cheese and meat plate with some wine. Since I am such a newbie at this, I ask the waitress for her suggestions. She really knows her stuff! We ordered Mt. Tam and Humboldt Fog cheese with prosciutto and smoked ham meat. We drank Cabernet Sauvignon (Sensorium, Santa Cruz). Delicious!
The atmosphere is very laid back like a beer bar ?(pub), but a little classier. Not as loud as those bars, so no shouting needed. :) Great experience! Will come back soon!

I came here and ordered a panini and a red wine flight ($ 15 for 2 oz of 4 wines) and thought that both were A-​OK. I was thrown off when I first entered the place because the servers looked at me like I was inconveniencing them. I think they were confused when I walked in because they didn’t realize I was looking for a table.
I do like the ambience of this place. It is super small and is inside San Pedro Square Market. You can enter from the street side or through the Square Market.
Their menus include paninis, charcuteries & salads. I tried the fig, brie, prosciutto panini with a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette ($ 9) & thought it was good but not outstanding. I would like to try their dessert paninis the next time I come.
What I liked about their wine flight was that you could choose any of the wines in your choice of 4. They have over 20 options to choose from which is great for those who like to try a variety of wines.

Vino Vino has more wine options than food options, but they do both very well. The food was well-​proportioned and delicious, and hit the spot.
My only dislike was that we were sat at a table that was way too close to the surrounding tables on both sides. It felt like those people were in our party, and so there was no privacy and I often felt uncomfortable. It’s pretty small in there though, with all high top tables, but I suppose they do what they can do. It’s definitely not an intimate experience.
I had the strawberry almond chicken salad, and it was great! We also tried the bruschetta appetizer, which was perfect. The flavors are all excellent. The Alfaro Pinot Noir was great, too!
