Vino Carta San Diego

The ambiance is lovely! It’s chill, relaxed, and cute. They’re dog-friendly so you get to see cute pups here and there. I went after work and loved how relaxed it was. I think it would even be cute for a date night! The wine selection had a good variety and I even got some wine tasting. The staff is super sweet and helpful. I loved it here!

Such a great wine shop and bar located in Little Italy. They focus on natural wines and family ran producers. They have over 400 wines to choose from. The ambiance is very laid back and casual. There is tons of seating indoors and outdoors. Staff here are friendly and helpful. They do wine by the glass so this is a great place to grab a glass of wine with friends. Parking is horrible as expected in Little Italy, but this spot is definitely worth checking out if you are into wine!

Not a lot of options for flights and limited food options. A 1/2 glass is pretty small - but probably exactly what it should be. I almost gave a 3 but I really appreciated the help from one of the staff with selecting a bottle of wine to cork and enjoy while at the bar. She said that if I didn't like it, they'd take the bottle back - which I appreciated. Also, we brought our own food and they didn't mind that we enjoyed with our bottle. We also ordered the albacore tuna crudo which was pretty good. Overall, it's prob better to consider this spot as a wine store that allows u to enjoy it onsite + decent good advice on wines. Plus some food options. Limited wines to taste.

We recently asked one of their employees, Skye, to select 6 wines to pair with a dinner we were hosting. We gave him a menu and he put together a great selection along with tasting notes for each. It was a lot more fun that if we had selected them ourselves since we surely would've stuck to our usual styles. Of the 6 bottles, we had only tasted one of the styles before. All of them were delicious and interesting and fit the meal perfectly. So the takeaway is that this shop has a broad range of wines and plenty of expertise on hand to help you make a selection - whether they're guiding you to exactly what you want or taking you down a path you might not go on your own.
