Pre race day carbload took me to II Vinaio with my coach and few of my teammates. It was perfect spot for big group 10 of us and tasty carbs night before big race. II Vinaio is located right in the heart of downtown Mesa with all other restaurants and bars. I enjoy the inside nice and has it own sense of personality. Not often go back of the restaurant little open bar area. The menu is pretty straight forward Italian fare. Lot of ur classic dishes, nice wine list, and nice diversity. I ended up going with go to pasta bolognese. It was delicious! Nice sauce, hearty, and generous portion size. Service was five stars. She was very attentive for big party. Not problem splitting all checks for us. Solid Italian spot. If running Mesa half or full marathon highly recommend II Vinaio.

This is a weird review bc when I ate dinner here, the food was so good, I have celiac and was able to order shrimp fettuccini, a fig bruschetta and a nice glass of wine. The place was not busy and service was fine. I told my sister how great it was so she picked it for her bday brunch for 9 (we had a reservation so they knew we were coming) and the service left a lot to be desired and again not very many people in the building. We didn't get menus or water for quite awhile. We finally got drinks and my sister was able to have 2 "all you drink mimosas". We all ate in shifts and some of us only had some of our orders and some had no food, I ordered GF pancakes that were sort of cooked and awhile later my over cooked bacon showed up. My friend's regular pancake showed up in a messed up pile. It was not a great experience. I felt bad for the waitress bc she did the best she could w whatever was going on in the kitchen or lack of staff. If I go back it will only be for dinner. I will note everyone who had eggs Benedict did enjoy their meal.

Cameron,You are untruthful. My review was accurate. Not sure how you stay in business by being dishonest and aggressive with customers. Maybe you should take constructive criticism so that you can improve.

The food was so dang good. We got the bruschetta, which you can mix and match, and I loved that. My friend got the salmon and mushroom risotto and she ate it all because it was so good. I got the Vinaio pasta that has a lemon sauce and goat cheese and it was delicious as well. The Spritzes are only $5 and they were amazing as well! Service with Kevin was wonderful and you can tell the restaurant has been here for a while. Not dated, but just an older building. I will definitely be coming back!

Me and my husband both had a great time here we had the chili shrimp for the appetizer was delicious. I had the lemon chicken linguine, which was the best lemon chicken I've ever had. My husband had the steak. He said it was tasty and cooked well. If you're a wine lover you'll love this place. Every server was working hard. Great atmosphere

I wish I could say better things about this restaurant, however, I just can't. We waited for 20 mins before anyone even came to the table to get a drink order. The service was just incredibly slow. They finally brought out some rolls for us to snack on and they were so dried out we couldn't eat them. Then the server had to go back to the bar three times to check which beers they had on tap. The food was subpar at best.

Nice family owned restaurant and wine bar in the heart of downtown Mesa. I moved to the area recently and discovered this gem. Il Vinaio means "The Wine Merchant". I can see why as they have a pretty large selection of wines here. Il Vinaio is an American wine bistro with Mediterranean influences that serves, lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. The restaurant itself is pretty charming with a nice casual atmosphere to it. We ended up having a large party for dinner here one night to celebrate a birthday. Even though the service was great, I think we overwhelmed the staff here with how big our party was on a quiet weekday night. But overall food came out hot and the people here were very nice. I enjoyed my Linguine Bolognese and White Sangria.

We had a 4:30pm reservation. When we arrived there was only one table in the back room (every other table was open. They sat us right next to the door in the walkway so we asked to move tables. The hostess wasn't capable of making that decision on her own and had to go ask somebody in the back. After a considerable amount of while, she came back out and moved our table. I've never seen such an incredibly slow process. After we were seated, we still felt like the two employees we had interacted with while there were both pretty negative so we decided to leave. I had been there once before, but definitely will not go back.

We just had the most wonderful meals! Tasty Vinaio bruschetta to start! Our main dishes of shrimp scampi, vegetable pasta and chicken saltimbocca were excellent! Everything tasted wonderful and was beautifully prepared and presented! I enjoyed a glass of the house white wine- a nice light, delicate white that went well with my meal. Our server, Teena was very attentive and took special care, along with the chef and manager coming out to take good care of our diner with a shellfish allergy. They all asked good questions and checked several times during the meal to make sure all was fine. We had a table with couch seating, which was fun and comfortable. This is a cute, clean and caring restaurant. The restrooms were clean and cared for. All in all we had a wonderful meal and experience and highly recommend this restaurant! Bon appetit!

We had reservations before a concert. Never been here in 20 years . We ordered a caprese appetizer and it took over an hour to be served. There were hardly any people in the restaurant even though the sign on the door said they were sold out for the evening. We finally got our appetizer after an hour, which consisted of a buratta ball and 3 tomato slices so I am not sure what took so long. We only had a half hour before the concert. The waiter said the kitchen was backed up. But there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. I was so confused. He offered to cancel our food, so we did. Paid the bill and left. Hungry and mad , we were off and will never return.
