This is definitely a hidden gem in Silver Spring! It serves as a wine cafe and store. The vibes are cute. I sat down for their happy hour one day in which they offer 15% off drinks and appetizers. My server was average. I ordered a riesling, which was delicious. I also ordered a salmon caesar wrap and some parmesan fries. The salmon itself was a little underwhelming in flavor, but the wrap was overall okay. The fries however were super crispy and enjoyable! I would definitely go back again to try more. I would give closer to a 3.5 if I could. I'm curious about their brunch. read more

boy. Really bad ingredients Pizza wasn't good. Not fully melted cheese and like a bad fast food dough. BLAZE or MOD or like a bad cheap cracker. Pasta was pretty ehhh. Really its just bad ingredients. Chef can only do so much with what they are given. I did love the bread with every entree and the soup was good. So many restaurants around here to go, wouldn't waste your money. I know its hard owning a restaurant theses days but they clearly either cut costs in quality of food or they dont care. I got the Margaeta pizza and the Capellini. Didnt have any of the sandwiches, but it seems like thats what people like. My mistake read more

Run, don't walk to Locavino's happy hour! From 4-7 pm, they have 25% off food and drink specials. They allowed us to taste different wines before selecting your glass of choice! I'm a red wine kinda girl so I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and committed to the Bonavita Tinto Wine. I could taste the mixed berries in every sip. It was only $7 for a glass - what a steal! My friends ordered the bruschetta and jerkalaya as entrees. For dessert, we went with the mousse and the banana bread pudding. Everything was SO good, no complaints. We enjoyed the cozy, classy atmosphere so much we stayed for 3 hours chatting. It's a hidden gem in DTSS, and we will be back! read more

Update 11/15/2025. 4.5 stars and read my previous review. Locavino is excellent. Service is lovely. Ambiance is quaint; great selection of beer and wine to go, and a good one for dine in. Food's awesome. Just a note that the "very Gouda burger" is very messy. read more

Really interested mixed used space. I came for the movies/farmers market and stayed for a bite. Space- This space is above the square. Part wine bar, market, and cafe. You order at the counter and seat yourself. Food- we got a jerk chicken sandwich and wrap. Both were flavorful and tasty, came with chips. Pretty solid and versatile menu. Service- the women we interacted was by herself. She did a great job managing the incoming patrons, running food, dining in market wines, making drinks, etc. all while being attentive to us while dining. Nice job. It's a nice casual spot for couples, kids, families. read more

Food Update: Sweet potato fries were so delicious. Honey mustard was weird. Tomato soup is popular with friends and I see why. It's thick in a good way, savory without sweetness. The garlic bread looks tasty, but I gave it to my friend. The chocolate mousse reminds me of a parfait you enjoyed as a child but when you had it as an adult, it tasted like regular pudding. read more

UberEats Order Ordered the side Caesar Salad with Salmon (4 stars) The ingredients were fresh and the salmon was a decent size. Totally worth around $15 even though the salad bowl was only filled halfway. I also ordered the grilled cheese without tomatoes with chips. I appreciated the Jalapeño chips instead of regular flavored potato chips! The sandwich itself looked as if it was thrown together last minute; I'm not sure I would order it again... Overall, I was satisfied with the food quality and will try to stop by the restaurant to see what the ambiance inside is like. read more

I needed to pick up a gift certificate at Locavino in downtown Silver Spring. After looking at the website, I decided that I needed to stay and try it. And it's great! It's a lovely wine bar overlooking the downtown Silver Spring ice rink. In the warmer weather, the outdoor space must be so much fun. The casual food was fabulous - we had hamburgers, flatbread that resembled pizzas, and pasta. All were delicious. The staff is absolutely welcoming. And there us a wide variety of wine and beers - plus a discount on the wines being sampled. read more

Food was good. Great meatballs in the spaghetti. The Cajun pasta dish was also very good. The set up was pay at counter and find a seat to sit and eat. Service was great. Nice quiet place to go and chill for a bite and drinks. read more

I really enjoyed myself here. Keep in mind this is a more casual spot -- you order your food and drink up front, take a number, and they will bring it to you. Hubby enjoyed his shrimp scampi abut admitted it wasn't spectacular -- just good shrimp scampi. I enjoyed my falafel taco (these are pretty big so I'm glad I got 1) which I thought was better than the Mac and cheese. Big menu with loads of options and laid back, fun atmosphere so I look forward to coming back and trying more of the food menu and wine list! read more

Great local business to support. Love the food and the wine selection is great. Pop in to buy a bottle after shopping in the area. On the menu flatbreads are still my favorite, but family members like the pastas. Decor is comfortable with good lighting and attractive, nice for meal or happy hour, drop in before or after a movie. They seem to have fixed the odor that sometimes came wafting up from the ice skating offices below ( stagnant watery smell). Glad they added some outdoor tables a few years back so its a nice treat on a sunny day overlooking veterans plaza with the ice skating rink in the winter and outdoor activities in the summer. read more

This is a little local gem! Not only is there a great selection of wines, but the kitchen really does a great job. I had the tomato basil soup and the fish tacos, both of which were full of flavor and presented well. Very reasonable prices and lovely serving staff add to the mix for a great experience. read more

I first came here a few years ago for a wine tasting when they first opened. I decided to visit again this summer and they've made quite a few changes. They now have a full menu that serves brunch all day. Since I came to for wine I ordered a cheese board to complement. Their house Merlot was *chef's kiss* amazing. The charcuterie board was sub-par, to be honest. I was a little disappointed that a wine bar had a mediocre cheese board. It would be nice if they had different options for boards and had other fruit spreads. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! We called 9 minutes before showing up, and they were able to accommodate 10 adults and 2 children on a Saturday at 7:45 pm. They gave us menus, and everyone placed their orders at the counter, paid, and then the food was brought out to our table. The atmosphere was very relaxed, but there was loud live music outside due to a festival happening that day. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back! read more

LOCAVINO wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It has a lot of potential but overall needs some work--starting with the basic cleaning, including dusting of walls and artwork. It was a bit dingy. Menu was extensive and promising. Wine and beer listings were great with tons of local options. Staff wasn't the best. Food ordered was okay. Bathroom needs work. I feel as if this place would be killer if they hired staff members that cared. read more

This place is a wine shop and restaurant combined. I had the chicken Marsala. It was a pan fried cutlet atop pasta with a mushroom sauce but it was tasty. I would come back to try some of the other offering. read more

The service is great here. Staff is so helpful during happy hour. I needed help deciding on one of the daily changing wine options. After ordering at the counter the food was happily brought to the table. The staff is very friendly! read more

Is it possible to be cool AND unpretentious? Serve good food and wine at reasonable prices? Yes and yes, at Locavino. This is a neighborhood gem. I will admit to you that I keep returning to the same menu items - the sliders and truffle fries - because they are so damn good I never want to order anything else! So I can't provide a robust a review as I should be able to given my many visits. But browse the other reviews and you will see much love for the food in general. One more thing - I used to not love having to order and pay at the counter. I mean its ok for fast food, but a cute wine bar? But I have been won over - when you are done with your meal, you can just...leave! No trying to catch the attention of your waitron, or conversely, having them come too soon and trying to hustle you out the door. It's entirely up to you; when you are ready, just get up and go read more

I recently came in and got to partake in their free Tuesday weekly wine tastings. From that, I ended up purchasing their 3 pillars pinot noir and even got 10% off which they offer for wine bottles purchased with the free tasting. The tasting has a casual and welcoming ambiance and I would encourage attending as a good way to try a new bottles of wine instead of purchasing blindly. The customer service is often pretty quick and the employees are kind here. read more

Went there for a bday drinks and dinner. The place is cool and casual. Huge wine selection including the local Maryland options. Eggplant fries and sweet potato fries were very tasty. Came with honey mustard sauce and tomato sauce. Not greasy. Jerk chicken wrap was good. Price is lower than I expected for this area. I ll be coming here more often. read more

Cute wine bar in the heart of downtown silver spring. We grabbed a bite to eat and a glass of wine preparatory to a concert @ The Filmore - quick 5 min walk from the restaurant. Parking is nearby and plentiful. Every time I attend a show @ The Filmore I will come back here. I ordered a Cab (5-6 oz so enough to mellow you) which we enjoyed while our food was being prepared. I ordered the prosciutto flatbread and babyyyyyy it slapped! Pesto - goat cheese - fig - salty prosciutto - balsamic drizzle - buttery flatbread. It was incredible. They accidentally overcooked my pizza (they caught it before even bringing it to me) and offered an appetizer on the house for my extended wait while they baked a new one. Excellent customer service! I accepted their offer and chose their hummus and pita bread. Another hit. I had to slow down on the hummus because I was almost full before the flatbread arrived. My only regret? I wasn't able to finish my flatbread because I had to head to the show. We'll be back! read more

In the heart of downtown Silver Spring, but a bit tucked away not street facing. Free 2 hr parking around the back. Met up with friends for a late lunch and was surprised by the food offerings! Everyone got a little something different and everyone enjoyed their meal! Burgers were recommended by the cashier so I got the Frederick County Cabernet - didn't taste the wine but it was a thick patty and all the ingredients were fresh - only downside was I asked for a medium cook and it came out well done despite the thick patty. I had a bite of the jerk sandwich and it was also a bit overcooked and dry but the flavors were good. I added the Truffle Parmesan fries and they were fried perfectly and flavorful. And of course there's a large selection of vino to drink there or buy a bottle for home. Definitely a nice casual spot to catch up with friends or even a casual date! The service was also good, you pay first at the cashier but they bring your food and clean the table, so don't forget to tip when you pay! Solid 4 stars, maybe even 4.5 based on price if they didn't overcook the meat. read more

Amazing burgers! Amazing prices! Super easy to order, very friendly staff! The wine market side is super cool. I love that there is the ice rink right outside. And the wine is delicious read more

The food was delicious and so was the wine. However, I sat outside since I had my dog and the bugs are crazy! My friend and I had to move tables. Also, since I had my dog, thankfully my friend was with me since we had to take turns to go inside and order since waiters do not come to the tables. If it wasn't for the bugs and t having to go inside to order, I would have given this restaurant a higher rating read more

This past Saturday, my friend and I were looking for a spot to hang out at. She wanted to enjoy the sunshine and daylight for a while. I suggested downtown Silver Spring since it's been a couple of years since I was there. Unfortunately it started raining so we went into the mall for a bit. We started getting hungry but didn't want to eat in the mall. So while she shopped, I used Yelp to find a spot for us to eat at...enter Locavino. After our shopping excursion, we walked to the restaurant which was a one minute walk from the mall. The restaurant is very elegant and cozy. It's not a large space but it comfy and intimate. You pretty much seat yourself and you order your food from the front counter instead of being seated and having a full server. Now for the meal. We started out with the sliders with a side of parmesan truffle fries. The appetizers did not disappoint. The sliders were flavor and freshly made. The fries were so crispy. The main course also didn't disappoint. I had the Jerkalya and my friend had the Penne Pesto. I loved my dish. It had the right amount of flavor and kick. She said the Penne Pesto was good and said she would try it again. I would definitely try Locavino again. The staff was very friendly and the wine selection looked interesting even though we didn't do any drinking. read more

Came to Locavino to eat and kill time before a movie across the street. What better way to kill time than drinking wine! We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and there was plenty of indoor seating of various table sizes from high top 2 seaters to tables for 6. By 6:30 the place was full. There are a few outdoor seats as well. While the by the glass menu is limited, the prices are affordable and the menu extensive. The Goat salad had a heap of spinach and the chicken was well seasoned. It was dressed quite heavily so in the future I'll ask for dressing on the side. Still tasty. The burger definitely hit the spot. Everything tasted great and appropriately priced! There's a few beers on tap and a nice selection of wines and local DC cans for purchase. The parking lot for this building is a nightmare so we parked in the paid lot across the street by the theater. Good place to go for dinner and a show. Will return! read more

I went here for dinner and loved the atmosphere! It is the first fancy wine bar I have been in where I can wear a t-shirt and feel totally comfortable. The dining is casual but the food is definitely not! A large selection that is really good quality. I had the tomato basil soup and it was by far the best thing I had! So much yum :). The servers were nice and quick and dealt with my dads food allergy really well. I can't quite get this place to five stars since most of the food didn't blow me away, but I'm excited to come back and maybe I can get it to five stars in the future! read more

This has become a staple for my wife and I and it is probably our favorite restaurant in Downtown Silver spring. the prices are very fair and they have a great happy hour and weekend special. Happy hour is 4-7 Monday to Friday with 25% off apps and drinks by the glass. The weekend special is a perfect date night. $49 two entrees, an appetizer or desert, and a bottle of wine. The staff is always super friendly and have allowed me try a few wines before making a choice. Finally the food is delicious. While not a vegetarian, I eat less meat than most and they have plenty of vegetarian friendly options. Two of my favorites are the rosas falafel tacos and the fake and cheese. Their fries never miss because they have a great texture and always come hot. Also they do wine tasting on Tuesdays! How neat! read more

Came back again for Friday date night and got here earlier, which was a good call - there were plenty of tables. I had the moscato again because of course I did, this time they had the sweet sake my husband tried to order last time and he liked it. I tasted it; it was good, I could definitely drink it, but I've been dreaming about that Moscato since my last visit so that's where it's at. This time he had the jerkalaya I had last time, and I ordered the soup of the day (Jambalaya) and the grilled cheese. The soup was VERY good. It was like a sausage stew kind of, no rice so still a soup and not actual jambalaya but very good cajun flavors. It came with a hunk of their delicious garlic bread. The grilled cheese was very good too; probably had a little too much spinach, as it overwhelmed the sandwich a little. I just took it out and ate it on its own. The blend of the cheddar, jack and marscapone works really well and can't go wrong with sourdough and tomatoes. I forgot to ask them to sub the salad for chips; my bad. The chips were fine, pretty standard potato chips, I was just really needing something healthier to balance the meal. I would definitely get this soup again and the sandwich can make it into the rotation. read more

Locavino is located in the heart of downtown sliver spring. I decided to pop in for a quick lunch. I had the fish tacos and a glass of moscato. The atmosphere is very quite and peaceful.

I am excited to attend their tasting and also try the weekend special. read more

LOCAVINO is one of our favorite spots in Downtown Silver Spring. I first tried them via GrubHub and then went with my wife in person after we purchased her wedding ring and with my dad and his family for dinner after they came in for our wedding. Their wine and beer selection is great and they have a happy hour deal on drinks by the glass and appetizers. Our favorite food items are the Rosa's Falafel Tacos, Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon, and Eggplant Fries. Unfortunately they did not have the Phillip's Crabcake Sandwich for my family that wanted crabs but don't blame them due to supply chain issues. We have also gotten drinks here to go and my wife went to get the Union Craft Black is Beautiful beer that Fenwick did not have and I got two packs of the Cherry Blossom cider from Supreme Core that our rehearsal dinner guests loved the next night. read more

I was visiting the Silver Springs area and saw Locavino on Yelp so I gave it a try. I had a wonderful experience. First off the Jerkalaya I had for dinner was delicious. So flavorful - jerk and jambalaya spice with some creaminess added to it - so good!! The service was good as well. You just order at the counter and they then bring the food to your table. Also bought a bottle of red wine there that I had later and it was very good. I would like to return there someday. read more

I've only been here a few times but every time I go I wonder why I don't go more often! We went for an afternoon snack on a cold and snowy day, and got a table overlooking the ice rink. It was warm and cozy inside. We ordered a VERY reasonably priced Sauv Blanc (I'm talking like $22 bucks) and some smoked salmon toast to start. It was perfect. I really wish I had gotten the name of the young man who was working the counter. He was so pleasant and attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the store and the wines. We bought some wines to go as well and can't wait to go back and try the rest of the food. It's such a great little spot and their menu is surprisingly extensive! I loved that they had wines from all over the world, but also featured some great local vineyards and breweries. It's a great location and the perfect spot to stop in for a treat before a movie, after shopping or just because! read more

In town for a conference was told about the restaurant and a happy hour stopped in great local beer selection on draft. Nice wine list. Great apps on happy hour. It was a surprise.

My friends and I ordered some takeout from Locavino this evening and HOLY COW!! Their very Gouda burger was absolutely phenomenal! I learned tonight that the secret to their show stopping burgers is that they marinate their patties in wine for some time and they are simply life changing! I've had an array of different gourmet burgers in my time, but none of them were quite like Locavino's flavor. After tonight I'll certainly be coming back to try the other for burgers in time! I also got to sample both their potato and sweet potato french fries which were each equally scrumptious and came with a delectable house made remoulade. The side fries were so good, I'd order them by themselves! My best friend ordered the linguine with meatballs and was quite satisfied with her meal as well (of course I tried some of her meal too). The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the meatballs were tender and the sauce was well balanced and flavorful. Tonight's takeout was 100% SLAMMIN'. 10/10 would highly recommend checking this place out!! read more
