    I would say overall this was a pretty good experience at this location. It was a beautiful day so I think it was nice to sit out on the patio and they had the fireplace going which makes the experience even better. We were notified when we got there that there was a big party and there would be a wait which we didn't mind so we waited but in the end it ended up not being as long as they said, which was even better. Our waitress was great and very friendly. She did a great job of managing the tables that were inside and outside. The food was good and fresh and came out rather quickly and everything was good. I would have liked to experience the wine tower like I've seen it another table, but the wine itself was still good. I will definitely visit again.

    If you enjoy wine and getting together with friends to have real conversations, you'll love this place. The food is delicious. The setting is charming and the mood is a cool vibe. The staff are friendly and eager to help.

    Nice atmosphere and decent wine selection, but overall the experience was pretty average. The food was okay not bad, but nothing especially memorable. Service was polite. Prices were decent for the quality and portion sizes. It's a fine place to relax for a drink, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

    Strawberry refresher

    We love a Black owned business! I got the strawberry refresher and toasted ravioli. Both were amazing as a starter. The location is quietly placed, it's not overly crowded and our server was so sweet! Would absolutely suggest that you bring your best girlfriends and come enjoy the vibes!

    Perfect afternoon with sweet girls

    After noon lunch on a beautiful street on Main St., Saint Charles. They had a afternoon special for $20 flight. You could try four wines and then your fifth wine could be your glass. It was perfect for trying different wines. We had some artichoke dip and a charcuterie board. You can't go wrong with that at a wine place. It was the perfect board shared amongst friends. Perfect atmosphere and the waitress was fantastic. I wish I could remember her name and I should've written it down. It's a great place to go on a beautiful day to sit outside on Main Street.

    The staff here is always, I mean always welcoming and accommodating. The weather was nice so we asked to sit in the patio, they had heaters and fire pits going and it was lovely. They allowed us to move the tables to get a bit closer to the heaters. We had not realized that we had blocked a pathway to a back table. They said over and over "you're fine". It's a great stop while walking the shops, and also a great destination to meet for a snack and a glass of wine! Go!

    The service was excellent! Greeted immediately, seated quickly and checked on regularly. There's a variety of food choices to choose from and an extensive wine selection. The wine flight is worth the price point since they are full pours vs. tasting pours. There's indoor and outdoor seating so perfect to visit all year round.

    Nice quite cafe in historic St. Charles where you can enjoy amazing wine and amazing food. Love that you can come here to plug-in for work in a space that's has low background music with amazing service.

    Tranita was absolutely amazing. Best service ever. Great place. Also came during a festival and got an AMAZING wine slushie. So glad to support a Black, female-owned business in this area.

    The patio is my favorite. But the inside is cozy as well. They accommodate single people to large parties. This business is one of my favorite businesses to support. The owner is a Wonderful lady, whom runs this business successfully with skill and a sense of community. I feel like I'm family and I think I've been 5x in a year. I adore her daughter who also works here when she can. The food is delicious! And oh the gooey butter cake YUM YUM YUM. I love the you pick two option for lunch. The sandwiches or wraps are unique and delicious. Let's discuss wine! WOW! The wines they choose are delectable to say the least! And the portions on the flights are gracious!! Whether it is grading papers, escaping reality, summer reading or stopping by this is the place to go. (I failed with taking more pictures ) Their season drinks are also amazing!

    Hosted my department's Christmas party here, and it was such a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the owner personally greeted us at the door and checked in throughout the afternoon. It's a charming little wine bar with a cozy vibe, and now I'm excited to come back in the spring to enjoy the courtyard.

    We stopped in for lunch and ate outside on the lovely patio. The server was amazing, and the food was pretty good. I had chicken and waffles, which was great, but I should have had a salad to go with so much breading. I will definitely go back for a happy hour (with wine and apps, of course!)

    Stopped into this cute little cafe on a work trip & it did not disappoint. I had the Kumbasha, Sav Blanc and it was 10/10. I didn't have time to try any food but they offer daily specials. Will definitely need to come back and try the food.

    The Philly Wrap.   Potato chips were meh, will prob get the salad side next time.

    We had such a great experience at Bella Vino Wine Bar! I attended a baby shower there and it was…read morethe perfect spot to host a gathering. The food was fantastic, the bruschetta and goat cheese salad were so yummy. The dressing on the salad was incredible and everything tasted so fresh. They even made non-alcoholic, decaf espresso martinis for us which were sooo good. The staff was also incredibly kind and accommodating. The upstairs space is super cute and perfect for hosting a party. I also loved the thoughtful touches like blankets available for the patio if you're sitting outside. Being right in downtown St. Charles is so fun too -- you can people-watch while enjoying your food and drinks. Highly recommend!

    Normally, we love eating here, so today's meal was disappointing. The service was excellent but the…read morefood lacked the finesse of the past. They no longer have Chicken Marsala, much to my companion's dismay. He opted instead for Spicy Shrimp pasta. It looked and smelled amazing. He said if Chicken Marsala was a 10, the shrimp dish was a 5. He ate it because he was hungry and he's not one to fuss. I thought the sauce looked broken, but maybe it was supposed to look chunky? At the bottom of the bowl remained a pool of oil. Ick. (See photos) I got a flatbread with gf crust (special order). The server said it had a mascarpone roux, and I appreciated his alertness. I took a pill before eating. The pizza crust was tender and flavorful. It needed another 3-4 minutes in the oven as the middle was doughy. The squash and cheeses made for warm, gooey comfort food. After one slice, the cheese was too much for me. If you say the cheesier the better, this is for you. Or share with several friends and consume a fitting beverage. I'll go back and hope for a better outcome.
