Vino Locale

Vino Locale is truly one of Palo Alto’s hidden gems! Tucked inside a beautiful old Victorian home, it feels like you’ve stepped into a cozy European wine garden right in the middle of Silicon Valley. I started with a wine flight and loved getting to try different varietals before settling on a gorgeous glass of red. The food was excellent — the baked sour cherry brie was heavenly, the gluten-free kale and mushroom ravioli was surprisingly rich, and the molten chocolate cake a la mode was the perfect ending. The backyard patio is magical at night with twinkle lights, firepits, and live music. It’s such a romantic spot but also great for a relaxed evening with friends. The service was warm and friendly, and the prices felt really reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. Definitely recommend making a reservation since seating is limited. Can’t wait to come back!

Went here for the first time on a date 😘 I was excited to try the wine flights. Our server, I believe her name was Madison, was very attentive and positive. We only had appetizers, but they were delicious! Enough gluten-free, soy free options to satisfy me 💕
