VinoVero Los Gatos — Restaurant in Los Gatos

My friend and I came here last night and had the best time. It is definitely the new hidden gem of Los Gatos. One of the Owner's was there and he was very friendly, welcoming and helped us have a Mom's night out without really any thought! We told him the type of wine we liked and he brought us a few different options, told us about the grapes, where they were from and we thoroughly enjoyed trying new things and grapes we would not be able to try unless we were in Italy. We had a Riesling that was perfectly mineral and similar to a Sav Blanc - not what we would have ordered off the menu at first glance but was perfect for what we were looking for and his recommendation. The second glass was a bottle that we wouldn't be able to get at a store and was equally as yum as the first from San Gimignano in Tuscany. He stuck by the table for a while and we talked about my upcoming trip to Italy and he was so happy to share suggestions and offer to let me email him and he could tell me some must go to places in the Tuscan region. Both my friend and I agreed that he was an awesome part of the experience. We did the Chef's Selection for Cheese and Charcuterie which was super delicious, the Burrata which was the best I have ever had, bar none and house mad Focaccia which honestly, I would go again just to eat.... Looking for a date night, afternoon refresher with snacks or an Mom's night out - highly suggest this place. We'll...

Long overdue review of this place. If you want your generic everyday Italian Restaurant, don't go there. The food here is outstanding, and Michele is a real original, makes you feel right at home in Italy. Food portions are small, just right for me. If you want a pile of pasta, go next door. If you want authentic European flair, this is the place. Michele knows his wines, and always has a little something to surprise you. Very good deserts, too. And a word to some of the negative reviews: I read things like "being bullied" or "rudely being told no availability"...this is so classic Californian Woke behavior. Michele is the nicest guy on the block, but he deserves your respect, as well. You walk in there and act as if you own the place, he will challenge you to it. That's another European feat that makes me feel right at home, no pretentious sweet talking. Say it as it is. If you walk into a place that is popular and clearly packed, and you have no reservations, why would you possibly act as if the place owes you something. And then leaving a crappy review is just cowardly. Anyway, Michele you are doing a fantastic job, will always come for just a glass of wine or full dinner. Bravo e...

We absolutely love this place. We have been 4-5 times and have consistently had a very good experience every time (which I feel is rare). Went last night for my birthday dinner and enjoyed every dish and drink so very much!

The food: I love the small share plates vibes. There are so many options for both meat lovers and veg heads alike. We shared the olives, artichokes, the house made pickled veggies (I’m obsessed), focaccia (this stuff is crack). We got the new salad that has crispy proiscutto and the spring pizza. Both were excellent. The spritz selection is on point and so refreshing on a warm evening (they use crushed ice and it is just so yummy). Depending on what you like, they can suggest one that you would like.

The pizzas here are a thicker crust coated in cornmeal and are sooooooo amazingly good.

The service: Michael the owner is awesome. He is great at offering suggestions and makes you feel at home in his restaurant. The vibe is very relaxed and comfortable.

I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone for...
