    I love this place! I always want to come here when visiting Fredericksburg. We never have a problem finding street parking. You get a card and load it and once you pick your wine, you side your card in and pick your pour size. They have some food - flatbreads and charcuterie. We ordered hummus once and it was pretty good. We loved most of the wines abs the staff is super friendly. Cute outside and basement area too. Some light music and not too loud. Great to visit at any time.

    Very cute wine bar with a good selection of west coast, international, and local wine. They are owned by Rogers Ford Winery, a local Virginia winery about half an hour away. While I have always loved everything their winemaker produces, Virginia wine (especially from Rogers Ford) is just a portion of what's available. Curio even has snacks and flatbread! The wine is basically self-service. You get a plastic card that you charge with credits (like a debit card) and choose the wine dispenser of your choice. You can get different level of pours, from a tiny sample to a half glass. The selections run everything from Argentinian Malbec to west coast Pinot to Virginia Petit Verdot to Bordeaux. That gives you a huge range to select from. I love the format, and I'm almost always there when in town to try something new. The flatbreads are good too!

    Top notch customer service. We were greeted immediately and "shown the ropes" as we were new to the establishment. We purchased our wine card (my husband and I shared a card as there is a small fee for the card itself) and got $25 loaded onto it. We ordered our food, it was restaurant week so we got the special which included one of their sangrias, a flatbread pizza and a creme brulee dessert. We chose the peaches and cream sangria which was just ok, the la dolce vita pizza which had a bit of a spicy kick to it but was delicious! And the creme brulee was good. We came with two friends and they ordered the cheese board and the curio pizza. We found a seat downstairs which was really nice and cool on a 96° day and then we all walked around looking at all the different choices of wines, we made our selections, most of us choosing the small pours so we could try many different wines and then sat down for a great visit. The wine dispensing machines give you three options, a small taste, a good size 3oz pour or a larger glass which I believe might've been 6oz. It's a super fun way to taste different wines with friends and you can purchase a full bottle to either drink there or take home. There is no private parking that we saw so you'll need to find an adjacent lot or on street parking which was mostly 2 hour limit which did cut our visit short a bit but it was such a nice time that we'll definitely be back!

    Cute little wine bar that you can pick your pour size from bottle wines. What makes this place, besides the nice wine selection, is the amazing staff. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Really wonderful experience. Thank you Kate!!!

    Curio is just perfect! Great location with wonderful staff. Enjoy the main floor, the cellar, and patio in the back. Great selection of wine and small plates if you have the urge for a bite. Don't miss the Rogers Ford Cabernet Franc

    Easily one of my new favorite places in FXBG. This place is a one stop shop for wine. Upon walking in, my guest and I were greeted warmly and instantly engaged by the owner. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and instantly elevated the experience. Everyone here is so nice, and willing to help as well as let you explore - all while not being too pushy. For those who love wine or are just learning more about vino - this place has something for everyone. This is a self serve wine bar, where you purchase a tasting card which allows you to taste a plethora of different wines all while having the choice of sampling, or getting a full glass (which is an added touch). There are many places to enjoy the wine including upstairs, the courtyard, as well as a functional wine cellar. There are great lite bite options to snack on during the experience. Had both the La Dolce Vita and the Pome D'Amore flatbreads, both perfect accompaniments to the full selection of wine. At the end of your experience you can also buy any of the wines you sampled at a discounted price. A great souvenir from the visit. This is definitely a place where you want to become a regular. Cheers to a beautiful addition to FXBG.

    Great wine and great atmosphere. The staff was friendly. If you want a neat place to just sit and visit, this is the place.

    Fun concept of pouring your own wine and tasting a lot of options. Ordered one of the cocktails and wasnt worth it, better off with the wine pours

    My absolute favorite hideout! The best place to pop in on a date night or Sunday fun when bouncing around downtown. They have an incredible selection of wines for purchase. Every month there's a new theme and special. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and super nice. If you love one you'll love Curio!

    Brand new wine tasting bar (opened 8/10/23). Super modern, small plates and boards, 9 stations of 4 different wines each. Delightful, helpful staff.

    Great Filets and meal! Just passing though, we spent our…read morefirst night ever in the area. Thursday night in August, and my wife loved walking around all the shops and restaurants. Lots of places to eat have good reviews but are empty. Then we get to F132 and every table is full and there's a line waiting! We had no reservation and got seated at the bar area in 5 min. Staff were all perfect. Oysters, wedge salad, (2) filet with 2 sides, and 3 drinks, and peanut butter pie dessert. $200 + $40 tip. Crystal commented twice how excellent the steak was, and we eat steaks in a lot of places. Highly recommend!

Upon entering, I informed the hostess that I had a reservation, and I was then escorted to my table. Shortly thereafter, Trevor came over to introduce himself. I advised him that Merlot is my preferred wine, and he graciously showed me the available Merlot selections. I chose a half-bottle of Duckhorn. For my meal, Trevor recommended the steak and the soup. Both were delicious. The soup was excellent, and the mashed potatoes were clearly homemade, which was a nice touch. My only disappointment was that the steak was heavily charred--almost blackened. I was also surprised that the entrée was not accompanied by a vegetable. Despite those minor shortcomings, the meal was delicious, and Trevor provided excellent service throughout the evening. In fact, I suspect that because of the overly charred steak, the restaurant generously comped my coffee, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Overall, this was a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and Trevor's knowledge and attentiveness contributed significantly to my positive experience.

    We made reservations for Kat's birthday, which already put us ahead of the crowd and, as it turned…read moreout, in good hands. We were seated promptly, no awkward hovering, and our waitress showed up friendly, sharp, and knowing her way around the menu--which is a quality that ought to be listed right next to "clean silverware." We started with the crab and corn chowder, and let me say this right now: the crab was not there for decoration. It announced itself. Big flavor, no apologies, the way crab chowder ought to be. Second round was the smoked salmon salad. Perfect. The salmon was excellent, but that tarragon caper dressing had a way of making you slow down and think about life choices. I would put that dressing on just about anything that didn't move fast enough. For the main event, I chose the scallops, and I am prepared to testify they were as good as any I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, sitting pretty with an aioli that knew its job and did it well. My wife ordered the beef medallions, and I'll admit this with humility: looking back, I may have chosen wrong. Those medallions were expertly prepared and packed with flavor, the kind that makes you reconsider your own plate. We finished with cheesecake and berries. The cheesecake did its part. The berries... well, not every inning is a home run. Fortunately, the wine stepped in like a good relief pitcher and made everything right again. Through it all, the service never slipped. We were treated the way folks ought to be treated when they go out to celebrate something that matters. And that, in my book, counts just as much as what's on the plate. Sorry for the lack of pictures the food and wine kept my attention

The menu changes regularly since it is chef driven. I attended for my birthday and chose the 4 course menu. The food was cooked perfectly, however portions are quite small. The wines are very nice and the servers are knowledgeable, but I have experienced better wine/food pairings. It's a lovely meal and experience with a higher price point for the area, but definitely worth trying at least once.

Free street parking nearby was easy to find. If you have a private event, you go to the back of the restaurant at the right and down some stairs. The private event room felt very bachelor den-like in a good way. There were leather seats surrounding the room and a tiny bar with a bartender to make us drinks. We were able to order whatever drink we wanted on the menu. For food, they brought trays out buffet style. We tried a variety of things. The star of the show was the Brussels sprouts. They were cooked to perfection and had a great sweet sauce. I enjoyed the salad too. They also brought out wings, mini burgers, mini fried chicken sandwiches, and tuna. Some were overcooked, but the flavor was nice. The seating was a bit awkward for a group our size in the private room, but we made it work. It was nice how casual it was.

    We arrived early at the restaurant at 11:45 a.m. due to the busy Mother's Day holiday. We were told…read moreto wait in the seating area or at the bar until our 12:15 p.m. reservation. At 12:25 p.m., the hostess informed us they were catching up on tables but that we would be seated soon. At 12:30 p.m., we were finally seated. Our waitress did not greet us warmly, make eye contact, introduce herself, or provide any information about the restaurant or menu. At 12:45 p.m., we ordered our food and drinks, and at 12:50 p.m., our drinks arrived. Around 1:30 p.m., we realized our food still had not come out, while other tables being served by our waitress were receiving prompt and friendly service. Our waitress passed our table four times without stopping to provide an update on our food or apologize for the extensive wait time. We were finally able to get her attention and politely asked about the status of our order. Without an apology or acknowledgment of our experience, she responded that she would tell the chefs to "rush" our order. We never asked for our food to be rushed -- we simply wanted an update because we had already been waiting far longer than expected. When our food was eventually brought out by another staff member, it was cold after nearly two hours of waiting. At that point, my husband asked to speak with the manager because not only was the wait time unacceptable, but the food was also cold. The manager eventually came to our table, apologized for the delay, and offered to discount the meal. My husband thanked him for the apology, but by that point, we decided the experience was not worth salvaging. We told the manager we did not want the cold food or watered-down drinks. Not only was our Mother's Day celebration ruined, but the lack of accountability from the staff and the poor customer service made the entire experience extremely disappointing. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

We were there for at least 15 minutes before a waiter appeared to take our order. But it went downhill from there. We were there for an hour and fifteen minutes before we received our lunches. The waiter did not alert us there was a problem, and when I complained, for the second time, about the delay, he said, "Well the food is a little slow coming out of the kitchen."

The octopus was fantastic, the truffle fries are something I'll be craving for a long time, and the charcuterie board topped everything off perfectly. If you get the chance, make a reservation and go. We left grinning from ear to ear after a great meal, great drinks, and a great evening.

    My God, what a true 5-star experience…read more We were in Fredericksburg for the day, and I'm so glad we decided to give Orofino a try. The cozy indoor dining room transports you to a relaxed, no-frills neighborhood restaurant you'd expect to find in Naples, Italy. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in at just the right times. They were attentive without being intrusive. We never had to ask for plates to be cleared or flag someone down when we were ready for dessert. We started with the calamari, followed by the lasagna, and finished with the lemon cake. I also had an Aperol Spritz. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell nothing relied on frozen ingredients or store-bought sauces. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in the Fredericksburg area, I highly recommend Orofino. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.

We started with the calamari and a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and pomegranate unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread served with their infused olive oil was outstanding and worth mentioning on its own. For our entrées, my husband and I both ordered specials the Lobster Ravioli and the Halibut. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also enjoyed an excellent red blend wine. By that point, we had enjoyed enough wine that I completely forgot to take photos of the specials! We finished with the cannoli special dessert, which was good, though not quite as memorable as the rest of the meal. Most of all, we can't thank Jack enough for the great service, laughs, and overall experience. It's rare to find food and hospitality that work together so perfectly. We'll definitely be back very soon!
