Fran F. • July 8, 2017Lamb meatballs, beet salad, raviolis...everything is fabulous. If their homemade sour cherry ice cream is on the dessert menu, don't pass it up! Wait staff is super friendly.

Mayank M. • July 10, 2016Get the pita sandwiches! I like the Orens. If you're in a group definitely get a hummus platter to share.

Jesse J. • June 26, 2015Under new management! This place is an absolute gem in the already impressive Palo Alto. Come enjoy a local wine to live music in an open, airy atmosphere. I can't recommend Vino Locale enough!

Eden E. • January 11, 2019Amazing food! The menu is seasonal so there will always be new items to try. They also have a private room that seats about 24.
