Penne Vodka with shrimp
Emily B.

Great service, cozy vibe, and good food. We had a good first visit. The people working were incredibly friendly. The cocktail menu was great. While the espresso martini was pretty chocolatey, the Sicilian 75 was perfect. We had the pasta vodka and the bolognese. The pasta vodka came with penne pasta. Next time, I want to be sure to ask which dishes have homemade noodles. Having the owner/chef come out to share the specials was a really nice touch!

Ambiance is delightful. Not to dark and rather cozy. Allows for intimacy and enjoyment. The service was 10/10. From owner, Dino, walking the room and taking time with each table, to the knowledgeable staff, and fantastic bartenders! They MADE the experience. Anything on the menu is Devine. We tried all the specials and nothing disappointed. It was fresh, well made, and properly served. Even with a delay in the kitchen, nothing came out incorrectly. The food was rich, flavorful, and felt comfortable. Highly recommend!! 10/10

Tiramisu
Aisha B.

Amazing Italian + stellar wine makes for a pretty perfect dinner. If you live in downtown Madison or you're visiting, D'Vino is an absolute must! Service exceeded my expectations almost as much as the warm, inviting ambiance. The owner is the chef (and pastry chef) which you rarely hear about. With a Sicilian based theme, the food does not disappoint. I started with a pesto and pea filled arancino, which was hand-rolled and SO good. I followed with the mussels, which were in a white sauce, and I ended my meal with a classic tiramisu, which was one of the best I've had. The staff engaged in conversation, sharing the history of the restaurant throughout the evening, which just added to my positive experience. It's hard to find an intimate Italian neighborhood spot that hits the trifecta: delicious food, great customer service, and a welcoming ambiance. I highly recommend D'Vino!

Carbonara

Made friday night reservations for 4 and brought 2 friends. Nice ambiance inside - we ate outside to enjoy the beautiful weather- it's what you'd expect outside on king st. Waiter was inexperienced so timing was a little off but despite that he was very polite. My Martini Balsamico was really good. Appetizers were the Meatballs and Burrata bruschetta - both were delicious. Food was good though one friend did not enjoy the Carbonara as it was not like what she expected (I also ordered it but enjoyed it). Admittedly nothing like Carbonara I've ever had as the noodles were in a yolky broth instead of being coated (see picture). Lasagna had a great flavor due to beef short ribs, and Tortellini con pesto was good.

Pasta con Vongole and Pasta Carbonara

Not authentic pasta, had no flavor and was watered down. Calamari and wine was pretty good, but overall not impressed.

Spaghetti with meatballs...and that sauce

Serendipitous flight cancelation led us to D'Vino in Madison Wisconsin. Great home-made tasting food..well presented,along with super drinks, ambiance and service. It was worth a trip!

The mussels, octopus salad, and lemon ricotta cake were amazing! Delicious! Outside patio seating, and the staff is wearing masks.

A few of us were in Madison for a jazz concert at UW. We were looking for a nice pre show dinner…read moreand heard great things about Merchant. The restaurant didn't disappoint. Our hostess and server were pleasant. The cheese curds, burgers and fries were delicious. My New York strip, however, was just OK; tough and not very flavorful. The baked on site carrot cake was really really good! Nice place with nice people and a fun vibe.

We were a little disappointed in the wait because there were some empty tables around, which showed that Merchant was not extremely slammed, but we wanted to give benefit of the doubt. Fried Cheese Curds tasted alright. We probably got the unlucky batch though, because halfway through eating them, we had dime-sized cheese curds. It certainly didn't feel like we got a full appetizer size of cheese curds because of this. I think typically the smaller cheese curds are at the end of the dish, but here it felt like we had it for 50% of the dish. The Merchant Burger was alright, but nothing to wow my senses. The black pepper aioli was delicious though, but it felt like that was what was saving the burger. Not pictured was the Floral G&T drink, which tasted delicious. Overall: giving this place 3 stars because it wasn't amazing, but it was OK. The interior is beautiful though, but food and service were below our expectations.

The space feels cozy, and it was easy to settle in and enjoy the night. My friend and I loved checking out the different drink options, and the wine machines seem simple to use. The prices were a little high for me but I don't mind splurging occasionally. The whole place feels like a spot you could come to for a casual night out or something a little more special. I'd definitely come back to try some wines and explore the menu again.

We ordered some food, including the beautiful and delicious charcuterie board and a couple flatbreads. I really like that there's a decent food menu including everything from $2 snacks to fuller meal options and desserts. Then we were onto our beverage choices. A couple of my friends opted for whiskey flights that they had been looking forward to sipping. And then a couple of us did the wine option. I didn't understand how it worked at first but it is very simple -- you get a little card to swipe at the wine machines and then you can choose whichever wine you want. You can opt for a small tasting pour or more of a traditional pour. At the end of the night you return your wine card and pay for whatever you had. I have heard of this type of wine bar before but hadn't tried it yet. It's brilliant! Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it was fun to try some new wines and whiskeys. I would definitely come back to enjoy the tots and some different wines next time!

They have a special sandwich every day and I strongly recommend getting it before they run out. Their focaccia is to die for!! Honestly so are their chocolate chip cookies. It's a small spot and gets super busy during lunch so I would expect a long wait that is extremely worth it. All of their employees are incredibly nice and passionate about their job. Shoutout Ella the cashier! She was so funny and gave me the best recommendations - give her a raise!

The sandwich had a good variety of textures throughout - my only wish was that the focaccia was also toasted. I think that would complement the sandwich textures even more. The coveted chocolate chip is *that* good. Thin, crispy edges, chewy center with flat chocolate wafer chips. The salt on top was a wonderful contrast to the sweet chocolate. You also can't beat the price of $2.25 for a good cookie. My only other complaint would be the limited seating. The workers here also try to provide table service and bring your sandwich out to you if you do dine-in. However, there isn't a system for them to find you at the table easily and they are just wandering around looking for you by name. Having a little table # placard would benefit the staff here.

First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

I ordered Friday night fish fry, which was deep fried haddock, a popover, coleslaw and french fries. All of the food was cooked perfectly. My fiance ordered a prime rib sandwich and it far exceeded his perfection. The reason for taking time to write this review is due to the service. Every single employee was so friendly and the service was exceptional. The hostess, the wait staff, the bartenders, etc. We also had drinks at the bar and they were amazing!

The area is very moody lighting and even has small lamps on each table. Our server and staff were great and everything came out timely. We got an old fashioned and a sangria. The sangria is strong but you won't know it until you stand up. We started with the cheese puppies and they had a fantastic pull to them. Some of the best version of cheese curds I've had in a while. My husband and I both had salads and the bowl was too small for the salad but it was a decent salad I do wish the cheese was sprinkled on top as it ended up going to the bottom of the bowl. For an entree I had steak frites. Fries were solid and the cooking of the steak was good with the charcoal but it didn't have much flavor. The chard on the side was also good considering I've never had it. For dessert we had the valentine special chocolate cake and again it was good but nothing super special. We didn't stick around the bar too long but enough to get a winning pull tab. I would come back for the bar tenders they seemed chill.

Yes, the wine is obviously good too with a selection for all preferences. I've been here a few times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I cannot get over how good their food is! I've now tried every single flatbread on their menu, and they're all outstanding! Even their steak gorgonzola flatbread is incredible and I don't like steak! They also have the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever tasted, and they're served with these delightful warm pieces of pita bread... I'm pretty sure this stuff came right out of an oven. On my most recent visit, I actually ended up getting an Old Fashioned and my dining mate got a cosmo. Both were absolutely fantastic. The bartender even came over and said the last bit of the cosmo he made tasted like it was heavy on the lime and he offered to re-make it... I'd call that service to the hilt! There was no need to re-make the cosmo, however, as we both found it to be delicious. The bar also has some really great high end liquors and craft beer options. They also have NA options. So, while it is a fun wine bar where you get to self-service pour your own wine, don't let the name fool you -- this place has something for everyone. I've also come here with a friend who has a gluten allergy and they have gluten free bread for their delicious flatbreads. Overall this place is great for an intimate night out or a night out with the girls. They have plenty of seating and an upstairs area with games and such as well. There's an outdoor patio as well for when the weather cooperates. I cannot recommend this place enough!
