   This restaurant is hands down the best Italian on the Peninsula. The food is excellently sourced, well made and delicious. So far I've had every dish on their menu and they are all exquisitely made to where I can't wait to come back. Rocco's staff is the best for service, including Valentino who knows his wines. Their bar drinks are creative and yummy. I love the amaro bar and they have a great wine list for Italian varietals. The ambiance is perfect for that romantic date or business meal. The Osso Buco was so good that I ordered two this night. (Because my partner ate half my first.) The beef Carpaccio makes for an excellent end of meal dish, as I don't order deserts, but there's the Chinato of which they have excellent. Please don't tell anybody about this restaurant because it's getting pretty hard to get a table these days and we would like to keep it our own little Stanford piece of signature style and class done the Italian way.

   In my mind, the Margarita pizza was not special. The salad, once delicious at dinner, was not as good at lunch. The tiramisu appealed to our friend. I found the gelato heavy...strawberry in what I think was a white chocolate. I'm not sure what to suggest, but the dinner a few nights before was far better.

   Salads were delicious, all three pastas dishes were bland and flavorless. Was expecting more from a Michelin star restaurant.

   Vina Enoteca is always welcoming. We usually sit at one of the bar tables for more room and a quieter experience. The fresh breads and olive oil are a great way to start a meal. We love sharing some appetizers and then sharing a meal. The wine selection is wonderful.

   Delicious pizza, service was great. There is a bit of noise around, but not too bad.

   I had requested a table in the bar but they had sold out the bar so we sat in the main dining room. Not such a big deal but when we were seated it took a long time before our server appeared. We ordered the pizza which arrived cold and we sent it back. Very little flavor. We probably won’t return, as there are other restaurants that are similar. A mediocre experience.

   Vina was great! We had said the we were celebrating a special occasion, and they helped us have a wonderful night. The food was wonderful, with great presentation and timely service. A little loud, but we had a great time.

    Food was amazing and the waiter was really nice. We stayed there for 3 hours chatting and the staff didn’t mind. Pretty authentic Roman style food! As always for lunch, I ordered the lumache all’amatriciana and it was delicious and served perfectly al dente.
