    Summer in Italy pizza
    Jaclyn T.

    Check in on Yelp before you arrive for less wait time! Visiting from out of town we came to celebrate my birthday. This place is definitely worth a stop. You have to order the Goat & Vine salad and Summer in Italy pizza. The salad with champagne vinaigrette, strawberries, and tomatoes was so fresh, refreshing, and perfect for summer. The new seasonal Summer in Italy pizza with prosciutto, and it was delicious. We also had the seasonal watermelon sangria, which was served with a slice of fresh watermelon. The decor is so cute and makes the whole place feel fun and inviting. Romy was a great server and even had adorable watermelon earrings that matched the summer vibe. They also have nice, clean bathrooms nearby. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

    Chicken salad
    Ascencia S.

    Nice, classy restaurant with plenty of seating. Our server, Cyrus, was very attentive. He checked in with us in the right amount of frequency such that it was not intrusive of our conversation. Hubby ordered the chicken salad (small) and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. The salad was pretty hefty so we were able to share it. The sandwich was thick and had a generous amount of chicken salad filling. It came with lots of potato chips. My husband and I both thought the salad dressing and the chicken in the salad were pretty salty. I did not like the dressing at all. The appearance and ingredients gives an expectation of a Chinese chicken salad dressing (sesame) but to my disappointment, it was far from it. I appreciated that the chicken salad sandwich did not have too much mayonnaise. However, the sandwich itself could have used a thin layer of mayo as it was a bit dry. The grapes in the sandwich added a pleasant sweetness to it.

    I've been to The Goat & Vine several times & I come here for the pizza. Specifically, the Hatch Chili Honey Chicken Pizza. It is always such a crowd pleaser. I love the caramelized onions, avocado & cilantro on it. It's a nice sized 14" pizza and good for folks to share. The pizza was delicious as always, too! Today, we also ordered the Caesar salad, and it was definitely a miss. It is also extremely expensive at $17. While it was generously sized, the salad was messy & falling off of the plate. The lettuce was too flimsy and did not have the classic Caesar crunch. The dressing was slopped on the lettuce in globs and was not uniformly mixed. The dressing was also very mustard-forward and too strong. Needless to say, I will not order it again! The restaurant is comfortable inside and serves a range of pizzas, sandwiches & starters. They also have some great desserts as well. They have a full bar. Service was pleasant and efficient. Parking is plentiful on the street and in the surrounding free garages. Peace.

    The best Chinese chicken salad we ever had
    Caren R.

    Kristin was our server and she was great. All the food we had was delicious. We did the waitlist on Yelp even though it was a Monday night. We got there 10 minutes before the waitlist said our table would be ready and The hostess said we had a half an hour wait. So we were a little disappointed, but we waited and it was really only 10 minutes. The place is adorable and the food is delicious and just looking at everybody's food. Everything looked amazing. We had the best Chinese chicken salad that we've ever had and we also had the hot honey pepperoni pizza.

    You Confit Me, add mushrooms
    Jennifer L.

    Wow the pizza here definitely lived up to the hype! This place is by far the most reviewed on Yelp in the area so I knew I had to check it out. Joined the waitlist around noon on a Sunday and got seated at 1:30 - definitely join the waitlist ASAP as the wait can get really long, up to 2-3 hours. Keep in mind the pizzas can take up to 30 minutes as well. Our server was aware that we were on a time crunch and was very nice about checking in with us throughout our meal We got the goat and vine salad - mixed greens, strawberries, tomatoes, goat cheese, and champagne vinaigrette. Tasty and refreshing We went with the You Confit Me pizza - fennel sausage, ricotta, hatch chile honey, garlic confit, mozzarella and Parmesan, and added mushrooms as well. It was SO good. The perfect balance of savory, garlicky, sweet, and creamy. The pizza dough was perfectly baked and had a nice crunch to it. I can see why it's so highly rated! The decor was cute, modern, a bit industrial. Definitely a good spot for a date night or nice lunch or dinner celebration. Would definitely come back again for this pizza!

    I can see why it's not a solid 5 star review! We were highly recommended here and if it wasn't for our last day in town.... I wouldn't give them a chance. We walked in 8 minutes EARLY and the guy cleaning told us they were not opened. We asked if we can sit and wait inside and he said no. Wow.. really? The door is wide open.. means welcome in! lol! Glad we stayed. The pizza dough crust is well worth the visit despite the initial encounter. I'll come back for the food! We split the goat cheese pizza (pretty much everything had goat in it.) No pun intended. It only comes 14 inches. Sounds pretty big, but worth it! We split the large the salad.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Came for a ladies lunch date! Perfect choice! The champagne...effervescent The dishes....plentiful & tasty The service...thank you! Great choice for lunch, for dinner or when wanting a great meal first time won't be the last!

    Hatch Chile Honey Chicken Pizza
    Giulia L.

    The Goat & Vine is so delicious! I want to give a shoutout to our server Angela who was so attentive, kind and detail oriented from start to finish! After we told her we wanted no tomatoes on the salad, when we ordered the pizza later she asked if we wanted to remove the tomatoes, it really is the little things that make the difference! We got the meatballs, the goat & vine salad, Hatch Chile Honey Chicken pizza, and to finish off some dessert (Passion Fruit Coconut Pie)! We will definitely be coming back here !

    Greek salad with chicken
    Alyssa H.

    We stopped by for a late afternoon girl's lunch. Everything here was spectacular!!! The service was great and everything was so fresh. We got the hummus board and it was insane! It was so much food, definitely a great bang for your buck and the hummus itself was fire! The vibe was super chill and welcoming. We also got a salad which was very good. We added blackened chicken and while the chicken was good, I don't think the salad needed it. Overall, this place is amazing and it's a must do!

    I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area.

    I was unimpressed by this place. I came here from san diego bc of all the pictures of good food!…read more Especially the octopus! Its too bad I came for brunch. Brunch lasts until 2pm and then from 2pm to 245pm they serve only appetizers. Lmao. Thats certainly interesting. Aesthetically this place is gorgeous. I love that they are dog friendly and it wasnt too hot today at the patio. I got the bloody mary to start and it was pretty good. The bacon in it was amazing, however, it didnt taste like 2 shots. The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try
