I don’t think I could say enough good about this restaurant! The food and service were both spectacular! Fine dining at a reasonable price. The steak was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of seasoning. The bruschetta was just the right amount of crunchy. The shrimp was Cajun spicy and the risotto creamy. And, their house made limoncello marscapone cake is to die for! Props to our server, Josh, and the owners who both came to say hi and wish us a happy anniversary. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Hidden gem! 💎
Stopped in on a Sunday for brunch and was very impressed by il Vinaio. This is the spot for bottomless mimosas for brunch, a rare find. 🍾 I was in a lunch mood so I had a beer with the green chili bacon burger and fries. The burger was so good! My friend had an omelette that looked amazing so I will definitely try a breakfast dish when I return. Highly recommend this spot if you’re a brunch or burger fan.
Great service and even better food.
Can’t beat it!
Pro tip: Bottomless mimosas cap out at 99 flutes so make sure you have a DD! 🍾
I drove by this place for years and thought I’d might eventually stop by one day. I finally ventured out and gave them a try. WOW, was I in for a surprise. The service was stellar. When we walked in, our hostess, Cindy was kind enough to give us the seat of our choice. Beyond that, our server, Kelly, elevated our experience to another level. She knew the menu well, answered all our questions, and was very attentive. I was also surprised on how reasonable the menu prices were. Once you add in the fact that the food was phenomenal, you know you’re in the right place. I had the lobster Mac and cheese and couldn’t have been happier. I also had the fig/pesto bruschetta and it was so delicious, that I had to order a 2nd round. If you’re on the fence about il Vinaio, don’t do what I did and wait years before trying. I highly recommend this place.
What a find! Stepped in to a delightful restaurant with real friendly hosts. The service and conversation is only out done by the taste of the food. Enjoyed so much came back the next night to try something different and it was great too. Chicken Parmesan was fantastic with a little kick of spice. Shrimp scampi was quite tasty. The beer was cold and the best part was Sally the waitress one of the honest real people you meet.
I had the Hatch Burger and it was great. The service was also excellent. Ate there again today. I had the Hatch burger again and my wife had the chicken hatch sandwich. Same waitress (Cindy), same great service. Food was excellent.
Wow, I've been working around the downtown Mesa area for several years and never knew of this place. Found them online and won my interest with the amazing Angus Burger pics!! It did NOT disappoint! Add the fried egg :o)
The Bruchetta is a must. Not only was the food outstanding and Cindy was a lovely server, but the AMBIANCE is hands down the cherry on top of our experience!! Loved it, will return again and again! Thanks Cindy :o)
Highly recommend. We stopped in for lunch for a family member's birthday. What an excellent find. The service was great and the food was tasty. I saw a photo of the club sandwich on Yelp which is one of the reasons I selected this restaurant and it didn't disappoint our guest raved about it. I had the veggie burger, I appreciated the use of nutritious ingredients and the time that the chef took in making a homemade patty instead of opting to serve an Impossible or Beyond burger. The addition of the portabella mushroom gave it a rich smoky flavor. Simply delish! We look forward to returning for another great meal. Thank you.
The building has been here a long time and gone thru several incarnations. I think that THAT might make some people hesitant... but, lemme tell you, the menu is surprisingly progressive, fresh and spiced to perfection. It's run by husband and wife and service is prompt and genuine. We had great food and felt warm and welcomed!
This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in the East Valley!
The food was spectacular—from presentation to subtle flavors! Great place for a date night or a relaxing appetizer & wine night after work.
I also appreciated the comfy seating options with a few couches spread throughout the restaurant. Not to mention, the staff was friendly and welcoming!
Walked in late on a Saturday night looking for dessert. The chocolate torte and almond gelato were amazing. Had the place to ourselves and which gave us plenty of time to chat with the Owners Cindy and Cameron. Will definitely be coming back for a full meal. Highly recommend such a great atmosphere.
