Why 1 star? Unpleasant service.
My wife, grown daughter and myself were going out to dinner. We wanted a glass of wine before dinner - but were a bit tight on time. So we found Nebbiolo wine bar near our restaurant. I was running late and asked my wife to order a glass for me - we have been together since 1984, so she knows my palate well. When I arrive at Nebbiolo, my wife and daughter has a glass of wine each - but no glass for me - the waiter would not let my wife order for me. After some time the waiter came over and asked what I would like to drink. I said that I would like to let my wife order for me. She again mentioned what I normally like, and after making me confirm the order, I got served the same Primitivo as she was drinking…. Maybe this concept is being stretched a bit too far?? A wife can’t order for her husband? From reading the other reviews I can tell other people are also discontent with the service. I guess I am getting a response from the management in line what they have answered other low rated reviews: that there are two sides to an experience… but maybe the management should look at the concept and guide the servers a bit better.
The reason for people to rate places on Google map is to help other people find a place for them - we write about experiences. So if a person like/accept the concept here at Nebbiolo and wants a good glass of wine - go here (Now you know what you are up for) - if you want a nice glass of wine with regular kind service - go...
Read moreI’ve been to this place several times and generally had good experiences. However, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing.
My friend, who has a special palate, sampled more than 2 wines to find one that suited her taste. Rather than setting clear boundaries on the number of samples or suggesting suitable options, the manager became confrontational, accusing her of misusing the tasting process and refusing further service. Despite our offer to pay for the tastings and find a resolution, he appeared more focused on escalating the conflict than addressing the issue constructively.
A simple solution, for e.g. limiting the sampling or making a bigger effort to understand her preferences would have avoided this unnecessary tension.
Instead, the evening was ruined because he was picking an unnecessary fight and raising his voice, yelling at times.
Truly disappointing. While I understand this is a business, instead of adapting the concept, for e.g charging extra 50 - 100 kr for undecided customers on sampling, the bar chose agression...
Read moreSpent a few hours at Nebbiolo and would easily go back. Started with a table outside, which worked well on a warm evening. Later moved to the bar indoors as it got colder—smooth transition, no issues. The place was busy but not chaotic, and the team handled it well. Service was consistent throughout—friendly, quick, and happy to recommend without pushing anything. Drinks were excellent across the board. You can try different Italian wines by the glass, and the menu has enough variety without being overwhelming.
The overall vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, with a mix of people—some in for a quick glass, others staying longer. Everything felt thought through, down to how clean and well-maintained the toilets were (which matters more than most people admit). Prices felt fair for the quality and location. Definitely a place where you can spend a couple of hours without checking your watch. Would recommend for anyone looking for a proper wine bar...
