    Gorgonzola Gnocchi
    Kris U.

    Vescovo is a great little place in Brevard for Italian food, nice wine and cocktails. Their pasta dishes were highlights for me, both the creamy, dreamy gorgonzola gnocchi and the Cacio E. Peppe pasta that tastes freshly made. The wedge salad makes a nice side dish. The Triennes is a refreshing dry rose that goes great with pasta. At the bar they make a few interesting cocktails. I'm a whiskey cocktail lover, and I tried the Kumquat and an Old Fashioned, both nicely done. The Kumquat cocktail is made with ginger-infused bourbon, kumquat-flavored syrup, soda, and muddled lime and basil; it's delicious! Pro Tip: The place is small and reservations are highly recommended.

    Don't think or wonder about this place. Get there, eat there, love your life. I had the crab cake and escargot. Both were some of the best I've ever tasted anywhere. Presentation and especially quality.

    What a charming, intimate, chef-owned Italian restaurant! We celebrated my birthday here and I've not had a meal this amazing in a long time. Cozy interior, friendly and knowledgeable staff make an immediate positive impression. Reservations are best due to the limited seating and prepared to order food. First of all, the bread was served warm and fresh with a plate of roasted garlic in olive oil for dipping. We had two appetizers and both were so delicious that we used the bread to clean the plates! The gnocchi in Gorgonzola cream - heavenly! The filet meatballs were also fabulous. We had the special of fried artichoke hearts with a Dijon sauce - also incredible. We decided to split an entree after all this goodness - LOL. The pasta special was lasagna and I have to say, it was the very best I've ever had - in my LIFE. The flavors and quality of every dish were spot on - the chef and kitchen staff did a phenomenal job. The desserts sounded lovely but we were too full. We don't live in town, but we will definitely be back next time we visit. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Excellent service AGAIN! Ordered the filet meatballs, burrata salad, grouper and !the last order of. carbonara. Not a bite left! Packed as always.

    Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce

    Best meal I've had in a long time. The fried artichokes were yummy with a lovely romesco sauce, the shaved Brussel sprout, Brie, apple and walnut salad was huge. We had the gnocchi appetizer with Gorgonzola cream sauce was perfectly cooked. We also tried the Caco de Pepi pasta it was good, but I've had better. The bread with olive oil and buttery roasted garlic was a nice surprise. Just wish they hadn't sat us so near the kitchen when they were slow the music in the dining area and kitchen competed! We will go back!

    What an incredible meal! Absolutely LOVED gnocchi, the best I've ever had! Seriously, get this appetizer!!! I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the whole experience & will definitely be going back!

    Creative concoctions on the cocktail menu, each with it's own story!

    What an amazing GREAT, LITTLE restaurant. If you are hungry this is the place for a great meal, If you are ready for a culinary adventure... these guys will blow you away! Our first time in... Just a little off the beaten path, in what we were told was called the Lumber district we walked into the Bishop's domain. The first thing we noticed was the warm, playful atmosphere... this is obviously a restaurant where the locals feel at home. Busy night, but the bar was right there, and the staff and patrons made us feel right at home. Waiting for our table was fun, as we discovered the cocktail menu... loaded with great, unique concoctions, all with their own stories, as we were introduced to the neighborhood. The menu is creative and the dishes finished to perfection. Here are people at work who UNDERSTAND and LOVE their CRAFT! Gorgonzola Cream Gnocchi, Filet Meatballs, Artichokes, Smoked Kurobuta Pork Belly & Scallops... YES PLEASE! You can taste the playfulness and pride; local ingredients, unique combination, perfect execution and you can expect a big grin and smile when you tell chef Trey you appreciate his work. If you can get to Brevard, visit this gem, and enjoy the creativity, the people and don't miss the impressive wine list.

"i'm so sorry. they already put the pepperoni on half of the pizza, is that going to be okay?" of course! my friend is vegetarian and dairy-free she wasn't going to throw a fit. we assure her that's fine and she goes back inside to confirm. at this point, the patio has completely filled up with tables. my son is bouncing around demanding his pizza quite loudly, which is not polite or allowed while we are dining out. since there was so much going on, he was having a hard time using his listening ears, so i took him out front to explain to him- once again- that we do not berate or make demands of waitstaff. once he's calmed down, we return to find our friends looking quite puzzled by the three pizzas now on our table instead of the two we ordered. i ask "what's this?" they shake their heads and say they don't know what happened. now since i was not at the table at the time, i am not at liberty to say what happened during this interaction. i'm sure they protested that there was one pizza too many. i feel like the waitress probably apologized and offered to take a pizza off the table. my friends most likely were thinking it would go to waste (they hate food waste they are sustainable farmers) and said something along the lines of, "no! it's fine don't worry we'll eat it." again, i am paraphrasing since i was not present for this interaction. anyways, when our waitress gives my friend the check at the end of our meal, he immediately sees that there are three pizzas on the check and kindly reminds her we only ordered two. this is where things start to take a turn for the worse... cause she's gone a long time and when she returns, she does not look happy about the interaction she is about to have. she sighs and says "chef said since you accepted the pizza you need to pay for it." i interject- "absolutely not. i wasn't even here when the food was dropped. we are not paying another $30 for a pizza we didn't order." what happened next i can only describe as absolutely insane. after a long while, our waitress comes back looking absolutely defeated. "well, they made me say it was my fault, but she took it off your check." and hands my friend the updated bill. "thank you," i reply, "but is absolutely not your fault." enter val gerdes. chef and owner of wood & vine. she has left her station on the line at 7pm on a saturday night to come and confront us herself. "it absolutely isn't her fault," val agrees with me, "so tell me why you would accept a third pizza and eat said pizza and then not expect to pay for it." girl. are your margins that narrow? you can't cover the food cost of a half cheese half pepperoni pizza mistake that YOU made? how much loss is that? maybe $7? i went blind with rage at this point. i have worked with many chefs far more pretentious than you with ACTUAL credentials to back it up and never in their lives would they embarrass/debase themselves the way you did on your patio last night. did it feel good? did you feel powerful? did you go back to the line and gloat? what's it like to feel so insecure? how does it feel to know that your waitstaff hate you because you don't have their backs? yeah. maybe our waitress did mess up with our order. but you girl, you messed up with your life choices. i said i wouldn't be back. val, you said that would be great. i'm glad we agree. so now im going to make it my mission to let everyone know what a silly little loser you are by recommending MUCH better places to eat in the brevard area. all in all- i would recommend avoiding val gerdes and her restaurant at all costs. val- grow up. and have a great day 0/5 stars

It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.
