    Florence sandwich + prosciutto
    Angelica T.

    This is a lovely place to get lunch and drink wines! We went during lunch time, their menu had italian sandwiches, salads, and appetizers like bruschetta. Everything was delicious! (And this is coming from someone who lived in Italy for a while) Everyone was also really friendly and welcome, they gave us a little tour of the place because they're also a retail wine shop. It's a worth a stop by for a peaceful lunch if you're in the area!

    It was a pleasure hosting my cousin's birthday at this beautiful restaurant. We had so much fun, cozy ambiance, delicious food, excellent service and just a memorable evening with good friends.

    El Vino & Spirits is an absolute gem in La Canada! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels cozy, welcoming & perfect for a relaxing evening. The owner, Edward, and his wife, Rachelle, are beyond accommodating and graciously stayed open after hours so that a large group of us working/busy moms could escape for a few hours and enjoy our "Moms Night Out". Now that says A LOT! The curated wine selection is very impressive, featuring old & new world, thoughtfully selected bottles from around the world and Edward's expertise shines through with every recommendation. We tried a variety of bottles; Bodegas El Nido was a red blend that we truly enjoyed, along with a few bottles of the Chateau La Rabotine Sancerre. And if you are Rose kind of a gal, I recommend the Veuve Clicquot Brut for some bubbly that went perfectly with their Bari & Sienna salads. We all loved how personable our experience felt; this hidden gem is the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy quality wine and feel genuinely taken care of. Thank you for having us after hours, much appreciated. Highly recommend for date nights or catching up with friends. I can't wait to return!

    Beautiful ambiance for a weekend brunch on a quiet street. This place is well done and a different feel compare to all the other wine bars in LA. The wine collection in grand and the food takes you back to Italy. Highly recommend!

    In Vino and Spirits is La Cañada's hidden gem! The selection is incredible--whether you're looking for a special bottle of wine, a unique craft spirit, or even something local you won't find at the bigger chains, they've got it. And the salads and sandwiches are the best in town. The owner, Edward, is not only knowledgeable but genuinely friendly and excited to bring you a unique and memorable experience. If you live nearby (or even if you don't), this place will not disappoint.

    The food is delicious--simple, high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves, especially the bread (imported from Italy, of course). It's crisp, warm, and holds the sandwich together like a quiet masterpiece--neither dry nor soggy, just perfectly balanced. The atmosphere feels like a little slice of Tuscany tucked into the city. The patio and seating near the open French doors are especially lovely--bright, airy, and almost heavenly when the sunlight pours in. It's the kind of place where time slows down just enough to savor the moment. The staff and owners are welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. One of the owners is a sommelier, and you could easily spend an hour just talking wine and learning something new. Perfect for solo sips, cozy dates, catching up with friends, or hosting something special. I absolutely loved it.

    Top quality and delicious food. Had dinner and wine. Best Italian around this area! Wine was also very good although pricey. Will go again!

Being in a party of 4 girls coming from high tea, we were dressed in elegant dresses, first comment was asking if we were coming from church, followed by eye flutters, short "okay" with an upward inflation to a joke about the day, an impatient comment about hurrying up and trying the wine while we were talking, asked for water when we were out, were left to pour the rest of our wine, didn't ask how the food was all the while was attentive to the table behind us, the cherry on top comment was when we were discussing the bill at the end, he was hovering at the table behind ours, then when we were ready, we asked to split the bill into 2, my portion on mine and the rest on another card, he then said "this isn't like a drive through, we can't do it that way" so I asked him to explain his comment, cause it was passive agressive and rude. After he wasnt able to becuase he wasnt expecting me to call out his rude comment, I had to then break it down and specify what I had ordered, he then sold "okayyyy....so how much, cause we don't itemize?" I had to again express for him to specify how they do it cause he has still yet to explain where his attitude is coming from and explain how they do their check splits, from my understanding it just felt like he wanted to play dumb and make me to the math, one I did he was like "ohh, okay" should have asked for the manager but we paid and left, I hasnt had this experience before being a returning customer, but he needs an attitude adjustment as his attitude was completely out of pocket. Do better Manuel, you alone got your place of work a 1 star. The rest of the staff was kind, facility beautiful and food and wine was good. This restaurant is not reflected in the 1 star.

    Last Saturday, we celebrated a family member's birthday at this restaurant. Just want to say right…read moreoff the bat that this place really hit it out of the ball park in almost all aspects of the dining experience. First off, it's a beautiful restaurant with Spanish touches throughout. There is seating inside and outside the restaurant in the courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a musician playing the guitar. Loved, LOVED his rendition of Hotel California. Really put me in a relaxing mood. The food here is unbelievably good with a few minor exceptions. Here is a run down of everything we had: -Patatas Bravas 5/5 stars. The roasted potatoes were delicious and the creamy sauce drizzled on top made it that much better. -Croquetas de Jamon y Pollo 4/5 stars. I remember it being tasty, but it wasn't as memorable as some of the other things I tried. -Gambas al Ajillo 5/5 stars. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and flavored. Even the bread, which tasted like sourdough, was fantastic. -Calamares Fritos 10/5 stars. No, that is not a typo. I usually avoid calamari like the plague since I'm not a fan of the taste. Here, however, I couldn't stop eating the calamari. I was popping them in my mouth like popcorn. There was something about the batter they used to coat the calamari. It had a satisfying crunch to it. Didn't even need the sauce it came with. -Prime Ribeye (prepared medium rare) 3/5 stars. The steak was okay. It was a bit undercooked and didn't have a nice crust on it. -Papitas Fritas: 10/5 stars. Once again, not a typo. The fries here were something special, which is saying a lot since fries are ubiquitous. The fries were delicately crispy and delicious. -Jamon Iberico Cebi de Campo with Manchego Cheese 4/5 stars. The Jamon Iberico was good, but not great. It had a slightly weird after taste that I usually don't get from high quality Jamon Iberico. -Tarta De Queso and Churros con Chocolate 3/5 stars. These were the only two items that I was truly disappointed with. There was nothing special about these dessert items. The churros were bland. -Cucumber Mint Cooler and Devil's Day Off 5/5 stars. Both of these drinks were refreshing. The Cucumber Mint Cooler, in case you're wondering, could best be described as a well executed, non-alcoholic cucumber mojito. The Devil's Day Off was a fizzy grapefruit and cinnamon delight. I have to end this review with the service. It was top notch. Our server, Robert, was not only extremely friendly, but helpful and informative. He walked us through the menu and talked us out of ordering certain items so that we wouldn't over order food or get items too similar to one another. At one point, we were debating whether to order the Churrasco a la Plancha (8 oz ribeye) or 12 oz ribeye. One person from our family wanted the fritas that only came with the Churrasco while another person (me) wanted the 12 oz ribeye. Robert resolved the disagreement by suggesting that we just order the 12 oz ribeye and they'll throw in the fritas for free (which they did). At the end of the meal, he made sure to point out that the gratuity had already been added to the bill and that there was no need to add a tip. We appreciated the heads up, otherwise we may not have noticed that. If it's not clear from my write up, I really enjoyed this place, despite a few items that missed the mark. If it wasn't so far away from where I live, I would have been back this weekend to try out more items from the menu.

    UPDATED REVIEW FOR WINE TASTING ON JANUARY 23, 2026…read more================================================== Two friends and I attended a wine tasting yesterday for $12 each. See my photo below of the menu with a description of the three wines. We liked all of them. NOTE: You can no longer bring your own food as I wrote about six years ago, but they offer a few things listed under "Bar Snacks". We ordered the cheese, crackers and olives for $18. After our tasting we shared an Italian wine recommended by Jeff who is the owner. We all really liked that. It was a Sandro Fay "Valgella" Valtellina Superiore 2021. I'd definitely buy that again. We arrived at 5:00 p.m. and were ready to head home at 8:00 p.m. which is their closing time. The wines we tasted will be available tonight or January 24, 2026 as well.

There was also a customer at the bar who was very friendly and showed us pictures of her wine adventures. She even recommended visiting Sonoma or Temecula for future wine tasting trips.

The serving was very small - i feel like American portions are often obscenely large (and don't like that), but this was much smaller than average and I was still hungry after eating it. The flavor was ok, but nothing to write home about. And the shrimp were very small - what my husband and I call "bait" shrimp. Not the large shrimp you usually get at a nice restaurant. Since i was still hungry, I ordered a cobbler. It was fine, but not great. Texture was a bit strange - not traditional. Probably won't come back. The food is just not that interesting. It's like the kind of food you'd eat at a Midwestern buffet restaurant.

This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss.
