    The confit me
    Lisa T.

    This place can get busy during lunch. We sat at the bar counter and service was a bit slow because they were busy. We got their garlic pizza with fennel sausage and ricotta and it was very good. Definitely a great spot for pizza with elevated specialty topping combinations. The restaurant was decorated with wood and moss for a rustic forest look. There is plenty of free parking available on the street or in nearby free structures.

    Mother's meatballs ($21)
    Brian F.

    Goat & Vine is an Italian restaurant located in the heart of Old Town Temecula. They offer pizzas, cold and hot sandwiches, and salads. There was free parking at the parking garage across the street. We put our name on the Yelp waitlist right when they opened and were seated within 45 minutes for a party of two. The mother's meatballs ($21) came with big two meatballs and were flavorful and cheesy. It also came with cheesy bread which was nice to dip into the tomato sauce. The jalapeño lime carnitas pizza ($30) was like a taco on pizza; it was cheesy but I thought it could've used more carnitas. The spicy italian sandwich ($18.50) was good with lots of meat and a hint of spice. The location is super central so it's usually packed. The pizzas are the most popular things here but they also have other offerings as well as cocktails, beers, and wine.

    I've visited Goat & Vine each time I've been to Temecula, it is great! They have great options between pizza, salad, and sandwiches. I love their chicken salad sandwich! The serving sizes are large and plenty to share. They also have a good line up of cocktails and beer on tap. My top recommendation for food in Old Town.

    The favorite Turkey
    Casey S.

    I stopped by The Goat and Vine in Temecula and had a really enjoyable lunch. The stone hearth kitchen vibe is welcoming, the service was attentive, and you can tell they put care into making things from scratch. The You Confit Me pizza was a highlight. It's garlic confit done right, paired with fennel sausage, fresh mozzarella, a touch of hatch chile honey for sweetness and heat, plus ricotta and red pepper flakes. It had great balance, a crispy yet chewy crust from the hearth, and the flavors popped without being overpowering. Definitely one I'll order again. The Favorite Turkey Sandwich on their house made sourdough was also excellent. Roasted turkey, creamy French brie, basil aioli, fig and balsamic compote, sprouts, and red onion came together beautifully. The sweet-savory combo from the figs really made it. Everything was tasty and well-prepared, the portions are generous and prices fair for the quality. Overall a great experience and I'd happily return to try more pizzas or their other sandwiches. Recommended!

    Cute little busy restaurant nestled on the side of Old Town Temecula. It's a very popular restaurant and I have been eager to visit. I signed up on the waiting list and was #8. I waited maybe 25 mins. Kristen was my server. Super sweet and very friendly. I ordered the hatch chile honey bucket sandwich. It was ok. Nothing that stood out. Blackened chicken, aioli, avocado and caramelized onions served with house chops. I also ordered El Guapo margarita. It was a raspberry margarita that was really good. Kristen suggested it and it was a great choice. I will probably visit again but definitely try their pizza or salad.

    Of all the places I went in Temecula over a three week period, The GOAT & Vine was #1! Amazing food, service , beverages and ambiance. The GOAT & Vine salad with oven roasted chicken was divine, as was the Saloon steak sandwich and the Favorite Turkey sandwich. I appreciated the selection of mocktails and enjoyed the Orange Blossom Spritz. I loved everything so much that I wanted to return the following day. Highly recommend. Everything was A+

    Loved how this place was decorated, and we had the most lovely server! My friend and I shared a salad and a pizza, which was the perfect amount. The salad was really fresh and the pizza was delicious -- the dough had an amazing texture. Really great spot for a casual lunch! Heads up: this place gets super busy so I highly recommend adding yourself to the waitlist beforehand.

    The Best Pizza
    Jerry C.

    The GOAT & Vine is a must go to spot in Old Town. Though I'm quite sure they have excellent menu items I just can't seem to get past ordering the pizza whenever my wife and I go there so my rating is really about their pizzas We've had several of their pizza offerings and every one has been stellar and by far the best pizza I've had in all of California. The service we've experienced has been quite good. The place gets pretty busy and the staff really work for their pay. As this place does get busy the staff may not be able to attend to your needs as well as you'd like although in my experience it certainly didn't seem like it was due to a lack of trying. The servers we've had have always been friendly and try to go out of their way to make your meal enjoyable. The place itself is pretty cool and has a bit of a New Your vibe going on in the heart of Old Town. I whole heartedly recommend The Goat & Vine. And, if you're able to get past the pizzas please let me know what you got and how it was.

    Orange Blossom Spritz Mocktail
    Anna M.

    The restaurant itself is chic, esthetic and alluring. Definitely a vibe. My husband and I were seated at the bar and we had the most amazing experience. The bartender, Anthony, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Orange Blossom Spritz Mocktail and it transported me to Italy. The aromatic flavors made me melt. Watching Anthony put it together was fun. He is a true professional and you can tell that he enjoys what he does. For food, we ordered the Breadsticks with House Sauce and the Hatch Chile Honey Chicken Pizza. Everything is freshly prepared and incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back soon.

    The food and vibes are good. It can be hard to get in, so be sure to have a reservation.

    Hatch chile honey chicken sandwich
    Kevin H.

    The food here was great. Amazing atmosphere for a date not. Not really recommended to bring kids because of the high chairs. The waiter was really attentive. I'd recommend getting the goat and vine salad. Surprisingly the goat cheese wasn't too strong. There was a 20 minute wait. However we went around 430 pm on a Friday night.

    Decor inside
    Rachel M.

    There was a wait but we were able to sit at the bar immediately. It was crowded and good reason as the food is really excellent. The bartender was friendly and took our order. We had pizza and a Greek salad. I loved how much they put in the salad, it could have been a meal on itself. Sitting at the bar we could watch the pizzas being made which was nice. It did mean though that we got to watch our pizza be made, which was great, but then watched it sit there waiting to be brought to us for about 10 minutes, so not so good there, and for that reason I'm marking down a star.

Out of concern, I asked one of the staff members why no one spoke up, and what I heard was even worse. I was told that the last employee who pushed back ended up getting stuck with the worst shifts and eventually had their hours cut down to practically nothing until they quit. If that's true, it speaks volumes about the kind of environment this management team is creating. No one should feel intimidated or punished for standing up for themselves at work. It's disappointing to support a business where employees appear to be treated this way. Regardless of how the food tastes, I won't be returning knowing what's happening behind the counter.

The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the chili honey, which was perfectly balanced without being too sweet or too spicy. The grilled onions added extra sweetness and richness that contrasted nicely with the fresh tomato, avocado, and lettuce. Together, it made the perfect sandwich! Definitely a spot worth checking out. The food tasted high quality, and I'll absolutely stop by again when I'm back in town.
