    Came here on a Saturday night about 1.5 hour before closing and we sat outside in the patio for some fresh air and to enjoy the lights. We got to choose our seats. And was very happy that there was a heat lamps outside too. There are a few table indoors if you prefer to sit indoors. We ordered the Vesuvio pizza and it pretty much was meatballs on a pizza, it was good! There were 8 slices so it's perfect to share among 2 people for a light dinner. Water can be self serve but our waiter came over and served us a few times with water. This restaurant is located very close to Downtown Berkeley bart! Just a few minutes by walking. I would come back here to try out other things on the menu too!

    Came around 8pm on a Friday, not too busy so we got to pick our own table. Small restaurant inside but the patio had lots of space. The patio was nice and had heat lamps which was great. The food was good, we had the Vesuvio pizza which included Meatball, Calabrian Chilis, Red Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Roasted Onions & Peppers. It was a great size for 2 to share, for a light dinner. Service was quick and staff were very friendly.

    This was a nice little restaurant with outdoor seating. Didn't get a chance to sit outside since it was raining. During the lunch hour there are many high school students coming in for the $10 lunch. I ordered the vegan sandwich with hot sauce on the side. I wasn't a big fan of the hot sauce so glad it was not smothered in the sandwich. Everything tasted fresh. My only complaint was the size of the sandwich for the price. It was not worth $19 for me. It was on the small size and left me feeling hungry. Probably won't be back, but if you don't mind paying the price, then try this place out.

    I came here with my brother and mom for a late lunch early dinner. It was great I enjoyed the lasagna that was meat, salad with balsamic dressing tomatoes, burrata cheese and bread, chicken parm and chicken pasta. My mom had coffee and I had a lemon Italian soda. We had a dog with us so we sat out on the patio it was great because there were heat lamps and heaters making it so nice to sit outside because it was somewhat chilly. The service was sort of lacking there was no Parmesan cheese in a shaker so we had to ask and the guy brought out a small paper cup of Parmesan cheese. There was 3 people at a nice corner table. For three people it was $120 after tip. I thought it was great food for the price it was generous portions.

    Absolutely loved dining here and am surprised there weren't more people on a Friday night. My friend and I arrived around 8pm and there was only one other party seated. The outdoor area is beautiful with a dark wood patio and string lights. Music isn't too loud and on a nice day there couldn't be a more perfect place to eat dinner. The waiter was extremely nice and recommended us a delicious white wine. Would highly recommend the Monchiero. It's chilled and tastes great on a warm day. Pasta was delicious as well and portions are large. We sat there drinking wine and talking for the rest of the night and nobody rushed us out. Wonderful experience!

    Lovely spot in Berkeley tucked away in a corner. Great sandwiches and salads with a variety of drinks offered! Staff is very kind and friendly. Lots of seating outdoors and some indoor. Great spot in Berkeley for an outdoor catch up.

    1st time trying this place. We ordered pickup for lunch. I had the pork lasagna and a side salad Boss had the red sauce pinsa Co-workers got the OMG & Genoa. Everyone liked their food and were putting it onto our lunch spot list. Pickup was easy and everything was labeled nicely. I will definitely try something different next time - they have a big menu.

    The one I ordered.

    What I ordered vs. what I got. I won't be coming back to spend over $20 on this sandwich again. Hi there, it wasn't delivery, it was pick up. Glory shot? You advertise your food, what the customer gets should be comparable. I also got it right after it was made. Funny how you want to make excuses . Shows that you don't care about quality or accountability. My rating stands.

First, these are the nicest people in the wine business. Warm and gracious and extremely knowledgable about the wine and vineyards. When we first qwnt to Noria, it was mostly superb Pinots and Chardonnay. Since, they've added a wonderful Gewürztraminer and a bomb Sauvignon Blanc as well. These are finely crafted wines from some of the best vineyards in Sonoma and beyond (no, they don't have rows of vines in Berkeley) and the bang for the buck is off the charts. I'm mostly a red drinker and only enjoy Pinots occasionally and Noria was my go-to. The addition of more white wines (and rosé) combined with my move to a warmer climate have made Noria indespensible for me. Absolutely check them out. Do yourself a favor and start at Noria, go across the street to Broc Cellars and then Donkey and Goat for a perfect wine tasting day right in Berkeley.

From its modest façade, you'd never guess the incredible wine that awaits within. Stepping inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that harmoniously blends Japanese elegance with classic winery charm. The selection of wines is nothing short of impressive, offering a diverse range that caters to both red and white wine lovers. Each wine I sampled showcased unique flavors and a refined balance that spoke volumes! The barrel room and outdoor seating area made the winery cozy and comfortable! Definitely will be returning to try out more of their wines

I met the lovely Aurora who took great care of me from start to finish. This spot had a great happy hour and i definitely took advantage of the HH drinks. I had two for 10 bucks a piece, such a great little deal. Initially I wanted a burger, but if there is raw fish on the menu, all other thoughts leave my brain. So, of course, I had to grab the ahi tuna bowl. and my oh my, that was delicious!!!!! So many places with tuna, don't serve it with Won Ton chips, but Roses on Adeline got the memo! I love a won ton chip and these were giant and perfect with my fish. The fish came in a lovely sauce. So perfect! Such a great spot! I had a great time chatting it up with Aurora and eating yummy food. I love finding places that are somewhat nearby because it gives me a great excuse to come again.

And what a nice surprise it was to have Roses on Adeline hitting the mark on all 3. We've been to Roses on Adeline twice now, once as a walk in and the second time with reservations. Both times we went for happy hour. Their drinks are creative and yummy. The smash burger here is absolutely delicious. The fries w/ sriracha aioli is also the perfect light bite. But beyond the good food & drinks, the ambiance here is really what brings us back. I love the vibe this place has and am so excited to have this as our new local staple for a date night. But be warned this place fills up quickly - I would recommend making reservations if you can!

I've been a patron of Vintage for years, and what's not to like? The location is gorgeous (a former pumping plant thats been transformed into a cozy, intimate space with a garden out front that changes with the seasons). And the shop is nestled right in the heart of Berkeley's Gourmet District with Peets, Saul's Deli, Cheeseboard Coop and Pizza, Andronico's, and Chez Panisse as next door neighbors. Inside you will find wines by color, grape, and region. It's not an enormous collection, but a lot of thought and experience has gone into presenting customers with something new and surprising. If I can't find myself making an easy decision, the staff have always been patient and helpful in finding the right bottle for my needs. Vintage also offers several different wine clubs for people who like a monthly or bimonthly grab bag of adult grape juice (including the occasional bubbles!). This is the wine store I wish I had as a neighborhood shop. For now, it's a well deserved destination (along with Kermit Lynch Wine Shop) that has yet to disappoint. Give it a try!
