Mayra Deleon
When we arrived, we got seated right away. We were asked if we wanted the high top tables or regular, we did not mind. The set up of the tables was nice, and the place felt romantic. There were a few people eating at the restaurant, but the tone was just right. Not too loud and not too quiet. This was our first time there, so we decided to go with the tasting menu. Everything we got tasted good from the appetizers to the dessert. One thing I did love was that the person helping us was helpful and had a great attitude. I will definitely be coming back to this place and trying out other dishes.

Always delicious. We arrived early for our reservation but we were happy to wait in the bar area with some cocktails. The drinks were good. We had a group on for our dinner. It came with a bottle of wine, two appetizers or salads, two entrees, and one dessert.. it was perfect for my friend and I. I must admit the only time I was disappointed was when I found out there don’t have the grilled pear ravioli. It broke me heart on the inside. But I understand having a rotating menu. I had the braised boar over pasta and my friend had the ravioli and gnocchi sampler. Everything was delicious. Always recommend the cream brulee. 10/10 recommended. Be sure to make a reservation. Chef Umberto if you are reading this please give me a hint to your pear ravioli and walnut cream recipe <3.. much love

Excellente! Dined at Vin Santo in DEC 22 and JAN 23; both experiences were fantastic mostly in part to the personable service by Michal who guided us through the dining menu and wine personally, professionally. Michal’s service experience is exceptional. The cocktails, wine and dinner entrees were delicious. Michal chose wine to best accompany our pasta and cioppino dishes and the dinner was a hit. Dining also included fresh out the oven bread / butter, a good selection of apps (meats/cheese, calamari, etc) various dessert choices including affogato and creme brulee during our visits. I believe there is parking in back thru narrow alley way. There is street parking and I chose the muni-lot nearby behind Nick the Greek. Restrooms clean, outside patio warm and inviting.

Welcome to little Italy. Marco and the team work hard. The Gnocchi are the best ever. Like. Ever. Fluffy and yummy. They melt in your mouth. The outdoor patio is great. Brought the dog and he was so happy with all the attention. FIVE STARS

I took my husband here for our anniversary since he loves Italian cuisines. Overall, we did have a great night with appetizing foods, nice customer service and chilling atmosphere. However, I have to take away one star because they served us melting gelato. They could have asked our opinion if we would like the liquefying gelato but they just simply brought to us.

Definitely the service was really great but the food was just OK. We had five people at our table. Hands-down the wild boar was the best. The Fruta de Mari was good. The lemon piccata chicken was over cooked and not good. Tiramisu was really just OK not great. And it wasn’t cheap.

I came here with family for my 23rd birthday and they went above and beyond for our group; we couldn’t have had better service. The staff was welcoming and very friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the birthday celebration was spectacular! We all got a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the birthday and we got to sample some desserts as a birthday treat after our delicious dinners. With the quality you’re getting when you come here, you can easily rack up a hefty bill so I’ll be saving this gem of a restaurant for special occasion/celebration dinners, but will definitely recommend to friends.

Came here with my family during the outdoor seating during COVID. First of all, the ambiance was great — there was live music DJed and also the lights and outdoor patio seating were great!
