Vino Volo — Restaurant in Oakland

Truthfully, I went to the Oakland airport early ( I flew into sfo and could have stayed there to eat, but I like being extra early for my flights) not expecting much in the way of food. I ended up at vino volo and had such a lovely time! Above my expectations. Warren greeted me so promptly and warmly I immediately knew I’d made the right choice. The food was lovely and the service superb. I got the Butcher board (heaping with items. Not the tiny portions I was expecting at an airport eatery ) the Ham and Gruyère sandwich (which Iyana made superbly chefs kiss ) and then (since I was still having some bubbles and craving salty things) a little side of prosciutto and crackers (which wasn’t little at all all!) so impressed.

Five minutes later, while we are still here, the server lets two others take the table.

It's a shame because this place does have good (though overpriced) wine, but no one appreciates being lied to...

A decent place, especially considering it's in an airport. This is near gate 25 for those who are interested. The quality was good, the portions are a little small for the price you are paying. I didn't deduct for that though as its par for the course in airports. The servers were quite friendly, but I felt the service was a little on the slow side, especially considering that most customers probably have planes to catch. If you have a long layover, or arrived early like I did, go for it. If you don't have time to spare go for something a...
