About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Experience dining like never before in our unique restaurant, set in a former concrete wine storage tank. Unwind on our charming terrace, reminiscent of an Italian Piazza, with a refreshing craft cocktail or a glass of wine expertly selected by our sommelier. Our eclectic menu features locally-sourced, seasonal dishes, all prepared from scratch.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi. Conveniently located just off the Lodi wine trail in Lockeford, California, we are the perfect stop halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, 1/2 mile west off scenic Hwy 88.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of local ingredients and culinary innovation.

The Grateful Gypsy Bistro is my favorite restaurant-ever. The food is always amazing. It is full of flavor while also being well balanced. The environment is calm and homey while also feeling very warm and inviting. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. The best Ribeye and the best chicken fried steak I have ever had. There isn't one thing I have tried that I didn't like. 10/10.

Fun, quirky place. Our server Katie was great, although the description of the special needed elaboration. Smoked steak on a bed of roasted potatoes and spinach, topped with a sauce/gravy. Steak was cooked perfect, but if I had known about the sauce I would have had it on the side. Menu has a spectrum of price points, and some other interesting items. Can't wait to go back and sit in their courtyard to drink and dine next time .

Great food, little pricy, food took a while. Good ambiance, can get noisy with an echo when people are chatty. Our table was kinda cramped into the corner, we had to move a wood box out of the way to pull the chair out enough to sit down. Table for 6: 4 steaks specials were good, Macaroni and cheese was just ok Chicken was just ok
