Best Wine Bars in Forest Hill / West Portal

I would consider this a fine dining restaurant if it weren’t for the fact that they have a DJ at the doorway, playing extremely loud bad remixes of old records. Other than that, our service person was attentive; the food was flavorful; the drinks were well mixed and it has a nice look in the interior of the restaurant. 

The food never disappoints (Nonna’s meatballs, Caccio e peppe and pizzas are a favorites) and the service is great. The host was incredibly sweet and accommodating, and Gustavo our waiter was terrific. He had great knowledge of the food and he was very attentive throughout the meal.

Food was so good. Novel takes on cocktails. Accommodating to food allergies Good overall service. Service great until it got super busy then lagged a bit. Not a big deal. We sat at the high top in the window next to the door. Cold tonight. We would have been better off, making a reservation in further in advance and getting a table in the dining room proper.

Always a great food experience here ! the server made good suggestions - and helped us not over order !! the food is top notch and good wine choices and perfect before theater meal ! ambience is a bit funky and chairs are a bit hard - but food makes up for it ! definitely recommend !

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
