Locavino is a relaxing wine bar that offers the same vibe as Adega Wine Cellars & Cafe, the restaurant that previously occupied this space. The menu consists of a selection of burgers, salads, wraps, flatbreads and a nice selection of wine that you purchase by the glass or bottle. You can sample wines before you buy them. Food and drinks are 25% off Mondays to Fridays from 4-7pm. This is a great place to catch up with friends and try a new wine. The food is average, so I wouldn't recommend coming here just for the food. Tip: Sit at the high-top table near the window to check out the action around Veterans Plaza while you eat. read more

Awesome place for food and wine in Silver Spring. We did a tasting on Friday night and then bought some bottles to enjoy with dinner. We had the fake and cheese sandwich (portobello, peppers, onions, and cheese on a baguette), penne pesto, and sweet potato fries. All were delicious! Very good quality food paired with delicious wine? Can't go wrong with that! For beer, cider, and lovers of other libations, there are other options. We need more places like this in Silver Spring! read more

When you walk in, the smell of tasty Italian really envelops you. I ordered the Gouda burger and my husband got the jerk salad. The chicken, dressing, and avocado addition were stellar. That jerk seasoning - wow! Pure spices, no sauce. Everything about that salad was fresh and they were very generous with the chicken. My burger was good. They didn't melt the Gouda, but the different kinds of Gouda added so much flavor that I didn't mind. The parfait for dessert was a definite wow. The soul music playing in the background makes me want to give it six stars! Their list of wines and beers were VERY impressive! Weekend special for $49 includes two entrees, a bottle of wine, and dessert. We will most certainly return to take advantage of this deal. read more

I got the pesto pasta, which was delicious. My friend got a Caesar salad and he enjoyed it as well! We sat outside and chatted, it's a casual atmosphere. The food came decently quickly and we had leftovers. read more

Given the rave reviews, I was definitely underwhelmed by locavino. The staff were friendly and helpful, the vibe is definitely casual (order at the counter, find a table). We came for happy hour - the Sauvignon Blanc was a bit bland (from Stellenbosch rather than NZ so missing the grassy acidity). My friend liked her rose, but the offerings by the glass were pretty limited for a wine bar (and no flight options). Prices were on the high side for a place without table service ($8-$14/glass), but they have a generous pour. Most of the negatives were around the food. There was barely any avocado on the avocado toast, and who puts rosemary in with smoked salmon and avocado? The combination was terrible. My sliders were also mediocre- they didn't ask me how I wanted them cooked and they were well done rather than my preferred medium-rare. My friend said her shrimp pasta was overwhelmed with lemon... And she loves lemon. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Love the food, and my family orders here all the time. Although the most recent encounter, wasn't so pleasant. I called the store to make a request, and as I greeted the worker w/ my name over the phone his rudely response was "what's this in regards to?" in a very rude, unpleasant and unprofessional way. Unfortunately as much as we love the food I won't support again, and I'll be sure to share w/ my family. Wishing you all the best. read more

I've been here a few times, and aside from being a good place to get a glass of wine, the soups and entrees actually reasonably priced for 2023 and is actually good. I did overpay a bit for the $10 pretzel...but they do good pours of wine. I like that it's not usually crowded and it's a perfect place to have a good conversation. The downside is that it's right across from Veterans Plaza so sometimes the ambiance is ruined by the street evangelists and events there. I recommend sitting inside if you can :) read more

Locavino is a small business in Downtown Silver Spring, but their wine selection and food quality are high-end! It's tucked away a bit, but if you can find the ice/roller rink in DTSS, you will see Locavino. It's a go-to spot for me when I'm finished partaking of the year-round Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Ordering is quick and easy; you're given a menu at the counter, and your food and wine are delivered to the table you select. I really think alot of thought is put into the foods they offer, and it's absolutely delicious! I like to grab a seat near the window if I can, to watch the fun happening in the rink. The staff are very friendly, and I can tell that they have been taught about wines because any time I've asked for a recommendation, it's spot-on! The vibe is casual and classy, and I highly recommend Locavino. Please support our small businesses in DTSS! read more

This is one of my favorite neighborhood places to eat out. The wine is great (and delivered with a generous pour) and the food is great. Whether you're meeting friends or want to tuck away in a corner with a book, it's welcoming and comfortable. read more

I have walked by this place a number of times and finally decided to stop in and I'm so glad I did. They had a great selection of unique wines and great food. The fries and flatbread were delicious. We had a great view of the downtown ice rink and had fun watching those out on the ice. read more

Food is fantastic, I love the more casual vibe. Great beer and wine selection. Highly recommend the jerk chicken wrap, the pastas are also good. Flatbreads are only okay. Highly recommend for dine-in as well as take out! read more

Food is great and the prices are reasonable. I was really surprised at the menu variety for a cafe like this. Got great service from Talin. Will definitely be going back. read more

Unfortunately this place was underwhelming. The restaurant is cute and they have tons of wine and beer options. The menu seems like it would be great, but the execution missed the mark across the board for us. My husband got the John Fahey (blue cheese) burger which was supposed to be medium well, but it was very well done and the burger was flavorless. The truffle fries barely tasted like truffle and same for the truffle Mac & cheese. The Mac and cheese had so much cheese and not enough pasta (practically like a cheese soup). The Bruschetta bread was super dry with no oil or flavor to it and the tomato's tasted fresh out of a can. There was no seasoning on anything. Giving it 3 stars for the vibe and drink options. read more

Have only tried this spot for takeout and am willing to give it another try because we really liked the chicken Alfredo, tomato soup (so full of flavor), and the crispy French fries. But the grilled cheese was disappointing - barely any cheese, very undercooked, vegetables on it were cold. This restaurant has a great location in downtown Silver Spring and there were a lot of tempting items on the menu. read more

Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this hidden gem. After a screening across the street (also thanks to Yelp) we wanted a glass of wine and a snack. A bit of searching with the interactive map and there it was. It's an oddly shaped narrow space overlooking Veterans Plaza. A counter in the back, with a blackboard listing the day's wine and beer pours, a small wine and beer store to one side heavily curated to local products, and a few tables. We ordered sliders and temperanillo wine, generous pour and very good quality especially at the $6 price point. The sliders, 3 for $9, arrived at our table in just a few minutes. Delicious! It's harder than you think to make a great burger, and no margin of error with a 2 oz patty, but these had perfect char and were nice and juicy. Brioche buns, tomato chunks, and a lettuce leaf complimented the beef without hiding the flavor. Very cordial service especially considering we came in near closing time, great flavors and value. I can't wait to come back and try the eggplant fries and give the store the attention it deserves. So nice to see an independent business among the chains infesting DTSS. Easy five *****. read more

John Fahey burger was great. And that says a lot... because I don't like bleu cheese... I had split the burger with my boyfriend, and that amount of bleu cheese was the most I could tolerate and yet still enjoy (surprisingly). The wine-marinated beef patty was delicious. I normally find beef patties pretty dry and bland, but this beef patty was rich and flavorful with the sharp taste of wine (and bleu cheese). Mushroom mushroom burger was quite disappointing. It wasn't flavorful, and the bread buns simply overpowered the taste of the mushroom. We could barely taste any mushroom... Eggplant fries were good (my boyfriend really loves them). They weren't my type of fries (too soft inside; I prefer crispier regular fries or sweet potato fries), but they were a good one-time experience. Very interesting concept to fry eggplant as fries. Great service and ambience, great for people-watching (there were a lot of people ice-skating outside on the rink). read more

i was pleasantly surprised by this place! i noticed this while walking from cava a week ago & decided to stop by without doing any research. i've been to some wine bars around moco but i haven't been to one with this expansive of a food menu! we had the chicken club was delish & so were the truffle fries. it's dark in the restaurant ; kind of lowkey & romantic. we had a bottle of riesling that was great & the service was super friendly. we went on a freezing cold sunday night & it was still pretty busy. i'll definitely be back! read more

I had their Carmenere Red wine and the truffle Parmesan fries for happy hour. I was around the corner and had a stressful day at work so it was a sweet surprise. The wine was great. I think the fries could've had more flavor but they were fresh which made up for the lack of flavor. read more

We love their eggplant fries! Today we stopped to have lunch at Locavino, we ate outside at their tables. I ordered the sliders with a side of Caesar salad. It was so delicious and perfect to enjoy in the warm weather. My fiancé ordered a grilled chipotle burger with fries. We will definitely be back. They also have a great selection of local Maryland wine available to purchase by bottle. read more

4/5 only because I don't give 5 stars for anything but exceptional experiences. Good prices, good service, and good food in a good location. This place definitely deserves a visit if you are in downtown Silver Spring. read more

I was so excited to see that this place reopened. It's super kid friendly and there are a ton of reasonable bottle options (there's a $5 corkage fee). Everyone that works there is super friendly, which is awesome. And the eggplant fries are a fave (I want to say it was $5 for a huge plate). If the owners look at this, please add changing tables to both of your bathrooms and more sauce to the fries. I have gone twice already in the week since they opened. read more

Nostalgia... Is what I felt as I walked in, it was great! (: If any of you shopped or ate here when this place used to be called Adega, you know this place was a great hidden gem! A place to relax, eat, drink, & getting to know the locals. That still holds up with the new ownership & remodeling. When you first walk in you get greeted by the owner or the staff which are kind & very welcoming. Food was great, I got the Jerk Sandwich but as a wrap. The menu might be small but I'm sure it will grow with time. Take note that this place has only been open almost a week! Great wine selection, was pleased too see some of my favorites. Like I said earlier, place has been open barely a week give it time & this place will once again become a great hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Silver Spring! read more

Came here for dinner the other night. I was super excited to have Locavino bringing back the restaurant. They have a great selection of wine and beer, and great food to pair it with. Ordered hummus for the table and I got the jerk chicken sandwich. The hummus wasn't that great, but nicely plated. The jerk chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious! The perfect blend of flavors. There was a bit of a hiccup in the order. I had ordered fries and mayo on the side, the order came with chips and mayo on the sandwich. Not the worst, and they brought the fries out after I brought it up. Everything that we ordered (except the hummus) was cleaned plates! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Their Gouda burger and tomato basil soup were excellent . I will definitely plan on returning to try more things on their menu

The veggie panini was really great! Pair it with a bottle of the Riesling. Can't wait to go back.

Stopped by locavino today for a bowl of soup to warm me up after walking 2 miles home. Doesn't it look delish with the garlic bread? It is! We used to say Campbell's soup is mmm mmm good. This is the 21st century. locavino is Mmm Mmmm delicious! read more

Great food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Overlooking the park. Great place to have a conversation. Not too loud and nice tables for two.

Good food, good prices and an excellent wine selection. I like the chicken Alfredo and meatball subs.

Kind of a hidden gem, we were almost there and didn't see it. The food was very good, reasonably priced, and the wine was terrific. We didn't realize until we got there that you ordered up front and they brought it to your table--a bit of a surprise but not a problem. They have large tables so you can spread out a bit. read more

Truly love the food and drinks from here, especially the eggplant fries. Their wine and beer selection is fantastic. The staff is super honest and knowledgeable on their offerings which helped me sound like an expert and they're always willing to let you have a taste of the wine! The place itself is a little loud due to the social atmosphere but it's definitely a fun and cute hang out with friends or a quick and fun date. read more

I've lived in this area for 7 years. I started to notice this place about 2-3 years ago. I'm not a big wine drinker so it was always on the bottom of my "to try" list. I found myself craving a yummy salad... googled "taco salad" and some how LOCAVINO popped up. No taco salads on the menu but the jerk salad seemed appetizing. It was fate! This is the best take out experience I've had in as long as I can remember. (And currently we are in pandemic mode.) The salad was very fresh and prepared with integrity. Called it in and picked it up about 20 minutes later. This will definitely be one of my go-to lunch spots. read more

Delicious, packed with care, and great quality! This was my first time ordering from LOCAVINO and I did so on a complete whim knowing very little about the menu. The delivery was timely and the food was packed neatly. I ordered the Jerk Wrap with chicken and the pesto pasta. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can have this wrap....Perfect ratio of ingredients, love the charred jerk taste and creamy avocado. Highly recommend!! read more

I finally gave Locavino a chance and they did not disappoint. I came in on Friday night with no reservations, there were a couple seats left so we snagged one overlooking the ice skating rink. We enjoyed the cheese plate and added in extra meat for a small upcharge. If I am being honest, the cheese plate was a little weak. It needed some accoutrements to pull it together, but came with none aside from a small little tomato sliced up. The cheese was yummy, but not much food for the cost. Would have loved maybe some nuts, fruits or berries to enjoy with the cheese. The Frederick County Cabernet burger was DAMN FINE! Seriously delicious. I asked for no bun and they made a nice little lettuce wrap for it. I have never had a wine marinated patty before, it was a delight. I got a side salad for a small upcharge,and it was totally worth it. A really good salad and the house dressing was great. I paired my meal with a hearty glass of Malbec which was perfect. Locavino is great. I would come back any day, can't wait to see what they offer in spring time! read more

First time here was a winner. I arrived with about an hour left until close. I decided to skip food and just get a bottle of wine. The employees were really nice and came by our table to check on us often. Perfect place for a date, as they have a back section with somewhat secluded seating. Also a really nice view of the ice rink makes it even more romantic. Give this place a try! read more

Welcome back to Silver Spring, LOCAVINO! What a delight it is to have some of the great minds behind the previous tenant back downtown. While I no longer live in MD, I knew I had to stop by on my way through the state recently. It was like coming home! The menu was full of updated nostalgic favorites and exciting new options. I was so excited to have the delicious Gonzalo wrap w/ steak and eggplant fries (!!!!!!!). The wrap was a mix of savory and sweet perfection and super filling. You guys--the eggplant fries are NEXT LEVEL perfection: crispy, savory, salty, eggplant-y and light. Love, love, love. The wines and beer by the glass are varied and priced so well. I asked for a glass of red that would compliment lunch and was given a delicious Italian red (and took a bottle home with me!) They have racks of wine and a cooler stocked with local beers for you to enjoy in store or take home. Ultimately, LOCAVINO is a perfect cafe that would make any neighborhood proud to call it their own. read more

Mostly the same menu as the former owners. Great location (although the parking lot police are aggressive) and many great choices. Nice to sit outside during good weather. Always a good place to meet up with friends. Please consider patronizing this business instead of a chain outlet. You will be glad you did. read more

Locavino is one of my favorite spots in all of Silver Spring to have a glass of wine and a bite to eat.

I ordered the Jerkalaya pasta the sauce was literally like liquid not creamy at all no seasoning taste completely watered down. The truffle fries I ordered literally taste like plain fries. I'm very disappointed because I spent $35 on this meal just for it to be delivered and completely disgusting. The only good part about it was the garlic bread. A waste of MONEY. I pray this review saves others. read more
