Vinia is a great place to hang out with a friend or enjoy a date night! The space is cozy but the service was great. We were given great recommendations and left satisfied. They had a great variety of wines. We ended up picking a red from Spain. I shared the burrata appetizer and ravioli of the day with a friend. I thought the pasta was cooked perfectly!! We also had their escargot (not pictured) which was phenomenal! read more

We got misled by a 3rd party source that Vinia has a happy hour menu...Vinia does NOT have happy hour. There was only 1 other party of 2 besides our party of 6 around 6pm on a weeknight and the food took absolutely forever to come out. My original rating was 3 stars considering everyone felt okay about their food and the wait time but I really liked my faux escargot dish. The bread was soft and toasted, all the plant-based escargot was wonderfully cooked and seasoned. It was a culinary experiment that hit the mark for me! read more

The food was excellent. You are not rushed and the service was very attentive. The place felt very intimate and cozy. we were four my self, wife, daughter and granddaughter, we ordered 3 sharing plates and 3 of the 3 course meals. W enjoyed every morsel and shared or should I say had a taste of EVERYTHING that we ordered. This was our 8th time in this restaurant and never have been disappointed. read more

We've visited Vinia multiple times for date nights, and each visit has been a delight. I like how dimly lit it is because it feels more intimate that way. The service is excellent, and on one occasion, we met one of the owners, who charmed us. I enjoy the fixed menu with the wine selection included. Our favorite dish is the oxtail with that ridiculously soft gnocchi, but we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. The food is consistently delicious! read more

Let me first say the food was 10 out of 10!! I cleaned every plate I had and truly enjoyed every moment! I also am soooo happy with all the plant based options I had. The pumpkin crème brûlée - I haven't ever got to enjoy crème brûlée and I could have had five of those easily :D We came to celebrate my friend's birthday and the atmosphere of the restaurant and how kind the servers were to make a special moment for her was something we soon won't forget! My feedback would be that this restaurant is a little pricey(which I get for the area it is in but still). But the portion sizes are a little too small. $14 for a 2 1/2 inch empanada and mini side salad that's 3 by 3 inches, $23 for pumpkin and cauliflower in what most restaurants would consider a side dish size, and $8 for a crème brûlée that's maybe an inch deep and 4 inches wide is a little bit steep for what I'm getting. Don't get me wrong, it's really good, just too little for too much. Regardless, I can see myself returning, but it would be for a special occasion just due to pricing and size portions. read more

This was a very intimate experience with excellent customer service. I came here recently for my best friends birthday and our server/wine expert was so patient, knowledgeable and kind. She took care of 8 with ease and made my friends birthday special. The ambiance here is very romantic with soft lighting and light music. They have a really great special where you can get a three course menu with wine for $59. You get to pick the appetizer, entree and desert and each course comes with wine pairing offered with that dish. It was a great experience for everyone to choose their items. The birthday boy is actually vegan and I thought it was amazing that they offer vegan options for every category. They also gave him a complimentary prosecco class as well. For the wine, they have a very excellent selection of wines including sparkling, white, red, rose and some sweet options. I personally really enjoy sweet wine and loved the Sangue Di Guida. For food, I tried some of my friends dishes but I personally just got the Charcuteries and Fromages. The server was correct to say it's a good portion for the price. It also had a lovely presentation. In fact all dishes had a gorgeous presentation. I can't speak for everyone on flavor but I can say that the consensus was everyone enjoyed their dishes but no one was "amazed". I would need to try a full dish myself to make a wholesome reaction. For my charcuterie I found each item to be tasty, you can't go wrong with cheese though! Some crackers would've been nice. Everyone was obsessed with the warm bread. I will agree it was very good. Overall it was a great experience and I would certainly like to return and try the 3 course deal with the wine pairing. read more

My wife found this place and let me tell you it's a gem in the Winter Park area. Fabio the owner was very hospitable and his staff was giving us great service. The food was well portioned and packed with flavors. Creative menu items and very gluten free friendly. The ambiance was also great. The decor and background music added to the experience. We will be returning and bringing some friends. read more

First of all, I loved just walking up to Vinia! It's located on such a cute street! Walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by friendly staff and an intimate dining room, which we loved. There was an extensive wine list and a tempting limited menu that we could wait to try. We went for Orlando Magical Dining Month. I had the privilege with pumpkin compote!! Yyyeeessss!!!! Then, for my main course, I had the Arrosto di Maiale with Zucca Al Cartoccio! I knew it was going to be good but I didn't know it would be soooo delicious! I was thrilled! The pork was perfectly cooked. Loved this plate! To finish it off, I had the crème brûlée a delicious sweet treat to finish off this terrific meal! Definitely make this one of your next stops! read more

Loved the atmosphere, Fabio, and the food. Completely relaxing dinner. We started with the Italian Starter comprised of the best eggplant caponata, grilled marinated artichokes, and olives. We will double up on the caponata next time. Great texture and flavor with the surprise of candied nuts in it. We also shared the beet filled ravioli verde topped with a melon chutney, another unique winner. Our final dish was the potato and zucchini roulade, also crave-able. Fabio was fantastic in helping us make our selections. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit. This is also a great place to bring your vegan friends since they have a substantial selection of vegan dishes read more

I was here on Friday night for a private event. I had never eaten here before but had always heard good things. The food and service and wine were all fantastic.

Being Brazilian and appreciating both Brazilian and European cuisine, and also knowing that the owners were Brazilian and that the menu featured Brazilian, Italian, and Spanish dishes (and perhaps others, but these are the ones I remember), I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while and considering trying their Bite30 and Magical Dining menus. I ended up dining here on a regular menu on a random Friday night and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate, and the service is very attentive. For starters, we ordered the Brazilian cheese bread with guava sauce and the flatbread with pesto. Both were delicious, but the portions were quite small for the price. The "Rabo de Toro," braised oxtail, however, was what surprised me the most -- the meat was meltingly tender, and the slightly salty flavor was balanced out by the starchy gnocchi. Last but not least, the wine list is excellent, and if you're not well-versed in wine, ask the server for recommendations -- they'll offer the perfect pairing. My glass of Rioja paired beautifully with everything I ate. read more

First thing worth mentioning, and there are SO many great things worth mentioning, is that the owner, Fabio is awesome! I called last minute hoping I might be able to snag a reservation for six people. And Fabio went above and beyond to make it happen! It was SO nice. As if he isn't awesome enough, our server was also top notch. Shout out to C for taking such great care of us! Safe to say service is amazing, but what about the meal? Double amazing! The food was stellar. Beautiful presentation and flavor. There was a nice mix of classic and creative dishes on the menu. Our table enjoyed a variety with most of us opting for magical dining. The majority of us selected the braised oxtail with gnocchi and WOW! The only suggestion I can possible give to the restaurant is to please quadruple the portion ha! It was so divine I could have eaten it all day. Such pillowy soft gnocchi and tender meat make for a great combo! For dessert we had the chocolate pot de creme and the squash panacotta. Both were excellent and I absolutely love that squash made an appearance during dessert! Vinia is a quaint restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience. There was live music which wasn't overpowering our conversation. I will definitely plan a quick return. Thanks, Fabio and team! read more

Recently went with friends to check out Magical Dining and this Winter Park gem. We went on a Thursday so there was live music but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. I highly recommend making a reservation as it is a small and quaint little place. Our server helped with a wine recommendation. We started with a charcuterie board which would have been plenty for us. But we also split the Burrata, Brazilian cheese bread (personal fav) and eggplant flan. For mains, we split the cioppino, oxtail gnocchi and pork tenderloin. Everything was cooked to perfection and quite flavorful, not overpowering. The pork came with three medallions and topped with an amazing gravy (fav!) For dessert, we split a few of the pot de creme and affogato. Both were a light finishing touch to an overall great meal and night out with friends. read more

I had been eager to try this spot for ages and finally made it for Happy Hour and Magical Dining! We booked a table on the outdoor patio, but the restaurant was quite busy. Fortunately, we arrived early and managed to snag an indoor spot before the rush. The place is charming, nicely decorated, and feels spacious despite its small size. The staff was attentive, and the owner stopped by a few times to check on us, which was a nice touch. To start, we had a half-off Pinot Noir during Happy Hour, paired with burrata, pão de queijo, and an empanada. Both dishes were delicious and offered generous portions. For the main course, my partner had the Braised Oxtail with homemade gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic--though I wished there had been more of it. We finished the evening with a delightful affogato, though it disappeared far too quickly! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time! It was a bit smaller than I thought but a very cute spot. We ended up sitting at the bar as most of the seats were reserved. Was awesome seeing the owner working at the restaurant, you could tell he really cares about the food and quality. We came on a Thursday night for dinner and they had live music. It set the vibe of the restaurant, we really enjoyed it. We ordered from the Bite 30 menu. I opted to get the wine pairing for each course as well. The Burrata w pesto was amazing. The purple pesto was so good and the bread was so fresh and crispy. My friend really liked the olives that the owner marinates himself. Next was the Shrimp Pasta, wow this was delicious. The perfect balance of creamy and lemony, loved the clams mixed in as well. The pasta itself was so good! The shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Lastly we ended with the Pot de creme dessert. This chocolate custard was so decadent and smooth. We loved the flaky sea salt on top as well. The dessert wine served with this was super good! We cannot wait to come back here and try the rest of the menu! Especially to come back and have some more of the Shrimp Pasta! If you haven't been here you need to, you are missing out! I highly recommend this place. read more

What a meal. My mom, stepdad, and I had dinner at VINIA last month when we were in Orlando to visit Universal Studios. I had picked it because my mom is vegan and I'm always on the lookout for a restaurant that is great for vegans and non-vegans. VINIA was amazing. We shared: the Plant-Based Fromages, the Plant-Based "Escargot" a la Bourguignonne, Zucchini & Yellow Squash Ratatouille, the Ravioli Fatti a Mano (special ravioli of the day), the Beet Wellington, and the Rabo de Toro de Temporada (24-hour braised oxtail over house-made gnocchi), and the petite cheesecake with decadent tangy cheese creme and red wine coulis. Everything was amazing (with the exception of the vegan cheese plate which we didn't love as much as everything else). Seriously, some of these dishes blew me away! I also enjoyed some wine from their great wine list. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it felt like entering a European bistro in Orlando! And the service was great - so welcoming and friendly and just lovely! A great meal overall. One I'd be happy to repeat! read more

A must visit in Winter Park Florida. The food was delicious very fresh. Each dish was full of great flavors. There are vegan options and regular. Our daughter and son in law are vegan they enjoyed the food as much as we did. Service was impeccable, very friendly. The owner made every customer feel special. He spoke to every customer. You can call it service with a smile. All the girls were friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the place is small and cozy. Nice modern decor. We liked it. Nice bar area. If you are in Winter Park try this gastronomical paradise. read more

The owner is so genuine and social. He manages to chat with each and every customer! He seems to love what he does.The food is delectable yet healthy. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. It's a small venue and it's packed with people rather than spaced out so it feels like you're in a foreign country or maybe D.C. or NYC. The wine is perfect. Great date spot. Even if your date isn't a match, you can easily suck it up because the place is so lovely. Sorry I didn't take pics it just wasn't appropriate to take food pics at the time. You can't go wrong with VINIA if you appreciate Mediterranean cuisine. read more

Food was great. Seats were super uncomfortable. I arranged a reservation for 9 of us weeks in advance. We were forced to gourmet dine while balancing on a super high tall stool that was so uncomfortable my back was killing me and I actually had to stand up to eat my dessert as my back was having spasms at the end of the meal. I felt angry that they sat us 60 year olds at such an obviously uncomfortable position I loved the food but I hated my table and especially my stool I'm not overweight either and I do not have any back problems. My sister who is 5'4" had to have her husband lift her onto the high stool like a baby and help Her get off also. I spent the end of dinner really miserable and it ruined my night. This is my first negative review of any establishment I am a very fair reasonable person who hates to complain and forgives most shortcomings. But this situation has me stiff and sore on a Sunday morning having to take a Motrin for the seat they forced me to sit in all night last night. Do better. I also read they have a private room. We had 9 people and spent $600 and didn't qualify for the private room option?!?! Wow read more

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is always amazing and has great flavors and the customer service is always top-notch. My friend and I came here for Magical Dining. She opted for the vegan items, which she enjoyed a lot. I got the bread and dips, the cioppino, and the butternut squash panna cotta with cocoa sauce. I liked everything, but the bread and dips were my absolute favorite. The dips were flavorful and the bread was perfectly prepared. I would even come back just for the bread and dips and then get some wine on the side. The place is a bit small and is only open for dinner, but is great for a casual or intimate meal. read more

First visit, enjoyed the Magical Dining menu! We were glad to have secured a reservation, as there is limited seating. Two tables outdoors, but not ideal for summer dining. Staff was attentive, and offered great recommendations. Enjoyed the Italian/ Brazilian fusion. The Pork Medallions were delicious, especially the sauce. Portions were sensible, left full, not stuffed, and no leftovers. read more

Tried this place on a date night and it graciously delivered! Met the owner, Fabio, and from the moment we sat down, we were welcomed as if we were home - he was so attentive and you could tell the passion he has for this place. Every bite was delicious; we asked for more bread because we couldn't let them take our plate without devouring every pesto cream and oil packed with so much flavor. The moscato and pinot grigio complemented our dinner very nicely. My fave was the vegan "escargot" which had no snails at all - the mushroom, squash, and plantain were just super tasty and just melts in your mouth. The star of the show was the oxtail over greens! I wanted another order! It was so juicy! Will definitely try over gnocchi next time. On Thursdays they have live music starting at 7pm. We will definitely come here again to try more things and tell our friends about our experience - we know they'll enjoy it too. It's a small cozy spot in Winter Park and I just think it's perfect. Who needs a big loud place where you can't have conversations with your company and the staff? read more

Everything was delicious and perfect portions. They do not have a full liquor license. Therefore, they offer wine and other non alcoholic drinks.

My parents came for dinner a week before I had the pleasure of visiting and they spoke so highly of the experience! Fabio was so charismatic and enthusiastic and they loved learning about the dishes and wines from him. I was able to join them this past Friday for dinner and I chose to do the Magical Dining menu - this way I was able to try an appetizer, entree and dessert - on top of what my parents ordered, of course. I also chose to do the wine pairing with my dinner and I am so glad that I did. Fabio did an excellent job with the pairings and I enjoyed every glass and every bite. The burrata was an awesome dish that we shared at the table and I was a huge fan of the beet pesto. I've never had anything like it and I could honestly eat a bowl of it, with or without bread... Overall I had a really great time and will definitely be back. I think I'd enjoy sitting at the bar with friends and having a handful of shareables/first courses and wine. The dinner experience was lovely but the service was a bit slow/not as attentive as I'd hope. But all in all, they took care of us and I had an amazing dinner. Cheers! read more

I'd been meaning to try this restaurant for months and was happy to hear they were participating in bite30 where you can get a 3-course meal for $33. It was an amazing dinner in a classy ambiance and service was great. My friend and I made a reservation for a Wednesday night and it was not too busy. The table was small and could only accommodate one of our courses at a time, but it made for an intimate feel. For the bite30 menu ($33), I got the vegan courses (empanada, zucchini and yellow squash pasta with tomato sauce, and ice cream+espresso+chocolate mousse). I also wanted to try their vegan cheese board ($13) and am glad I did because it was such an experience! Every dish was arranged beautifully and very delicious. We stayed for 2 hours and loved every minute of the visit. I hope to be back to try their plant based menu! read more

VINIA Wine & Kitchen - Plant based pasta course 2 from bite30 menu - Wine Bars Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Four of us had the Magical Dining Experience this past week and absolutely loved it. My brother-in-law has had a heavy surgical boot on his foot for several weeks now and gets around on a knee scooter. He can not get up a single step right now. My husband and I booked the reservation mainly because we are vegans, and Vinia is the only restaurant that has vegan options for all three courses of the Magical Dining, and they were very interesting and appealing to us. We needed to check on the accessibility of the place, and as it turned out, Fabio met us on the street in front as we pulled up and directed us to a parking lot around the back with a long ramp up to the back door of Vinia, which he held open for us to enter and got us situated at a table where the scooter could be nearby. Kudos, Fabio, for making us feel so special and welcome! Now to the food. My husband and I opted for the add-on of the vegan cheese selection, since cheese is our most-missed food since we became vegan five years ago. It was a very diverse group of cheeses with accompaniments, but probably not worth the $18 up-charge if you are not missing cheese as much as we are. The blue cheese was the favorite of both of us. My brother-in-law, the opposite of vegan, is a huge fan of oxtail, which was another choice on the Magic Dining menu. We all began our meals with the Empanadas, ours "Palmito y Calabaza & Seasonal Salad," and the meat guy "Carne Con Queso & Seasonal Salad." All were amply-sized and absolutely delicious. The salad was special, too, and had a wonderful light dressing. I had the 3-course vegan-friendly wine pairing, and my sister-in-law had the regular 3-course wine pairing. For our main courses, meat guy had the oxtail, served over the specialty "Rabo de Toro Gnocchi," which he loved. He said the gnocchi was "ethereal." Sister-in-law had "Escondidinho de Bacalhau com Legumes" a shepherd's pie made with cod served in its own ramekin. She loved her main as well. Husband and I had the "Pasta con Funghi Porcini et Erbe Aromatiche." Honestly, how one can get vegan pasta (imported from Italy) to be perfectly al dente, and a creamy sauce that tastes like real fettucine alfredo, is beyond me. Husband and I had the Caramel Affogato and Cuscuz de Tapioca Com Coco. You get to choose two from the menu! Sublime! Sister-in-law chose the Pot du Creme au Chocolate, but was sorry when we raved about ours, because it was just a regular good chocolate mousse. Fabio generously offered us an extra pour of port wine as we finished off our desserts. The wine pairings were delicious, quirky, and went well with the courses we selected. They were not the usual selections you would find in most restaurants. The only quibble we had with the whole experience was the hard metal chairs on which hubbie and I sat. Hubby has no padding in the back. Please Fabio, get some pillows for those chairs! Fabio is delightful and ushered us out the back door with hugs. read more

Magical Dining at VINIA and the only 5 rating on Yelp that I could find. This holds our #1 spot of 8 (so far:)) in our Magical Dining round up. Why? The food is creative, insanely delicious and has an ever-changing menu - even ever so slightly. The atmosphere is hip and romantic. The wine list is extensive and unique. The co-owner, Fabio, is so involved with each table getting to know his customers and explaining his fabulous dishes. AND, the wine pairings are exceptional. IMO, this is the best restaurant in the Park Ave area. We had the cheese bread and beef empanada to start. These are two of our faves and a perfect portion. I saved 2 of the cheese breads to take home and they didn't make it....the guava sauce for the bread was a perfect compliment to the dish and the chimichurri for the empanadas was super fresh. Next up was upgraded Iberico dish and the cod fish shepherd's pie. We loved both of these. I'd like my meat less well done personally but it was still superb. The codfish - OMG! - wow, this was very rich that we could barely finish it. The table across from us got the oxtail and really liked it. The desserts were fun and we also enjoyed these. We got the chocolate and the gelato with espresso. We also did the wine pairings. Super impressed overall. Don't sleep on this place!!! read more
