Wine Bar · Shasta Hanchette Park · 26 tips and reviews
Content Magazine: The beer list is so awesome, its impossible to choose. Ask the staff for a recommendation and you can't go wrong.
Josh Chua: Go ahead, order beer from the awesome beer list and disrespect wine in its own house like the scandalous bitch you are.
Olivier Marie: Last Tuesday of the month is wine tasting night. Best value on great wines in the area. Don't miss it and mark your calendars!
Buttercup D: Their pesto is good here. I like the pesto pizza and pesto pasta. Also, check out their lunch specials.
V C: Pizza and pasta, made to order. Pasta plates are ~15. You order up front and they bring your food out to you. It’s a spacious and simply decorated place. Feels like a family-run place.
Yvonne Barter: This is by far the BEST pasta I’ve ever had in the South Bay!

Michael Levine: Go to the bar, order drinks and an appetizer, and ask for your dinner to go. Skip the dinner wait, and still enjoy the atmosphere, awesome iced tea and bread. Mmm that bread.
Guilherme Chapiewski: Love chocolate? Want to try something different than cheesecake? Go for the Linda's Fudge Cake, it's one of the best chocolate cakes I ever had!
