This is a great little restaurant that's refreshing and worth the trip. Three of us ate here recently and the food and service were both great. It's not just a wine bar! We enjoyed delicious fig jam and creamy cheese bruschetta (best I've ever had), steamed sesame buns, lamb croquettes (amazing), fresh salads, and some other items I can't remember but which were tasty. read more

My wife and I visited the area recently and found Vine and Fig through Yelp. It sounded good so we went. OMG! Rustic but snappy decor, beautiful property, great service, unique menu, all backed with GREAT food. You won't be disappointed. read more

My friend and I were in Rome NY to see Linda Cunningham's stunning "Divisions " at the Griffiss Sculpture Garden and ended this day with a wonderful dinner at the Vine and Fig. We sat outside on their pleasant patio (dogs welcomed there) and had a fabulous dinner accompanied by a tasty Austrian Weißburgunder. The star of the meal was the delicious rutabaga apple cream soup! I could eat that every day and be happy. Creamy, great depth of flavor yet subtle... that soup alone might have made the drive from Vermont to here worth it. Also delicious and fresh tasting, the tuna tartar and the pork Milanese. The service was also excellent! Too bad we are here only one day; I'd love to have dinner there again tonight! read more

What a great experience! Hidden gem that was quite delightful. Great food, great service, and just a super cute spot to go for a date night or girls night out. read more

We had a great early summer visit at Vine & Fig - sat at the bar (Mike's a pro!), and ordered a few dishes for dinner. Everything was fantastic and the service was quick and attentive. Loved the lobster roll special! Thank you Carly and the team for a perfect evening out. read more

Vine and Fig - Fig Crostini - Salad Near Me - Rome, New York

I absolutely love Vine and Fig. I've been here multiple times and the service is excellent. The drinks are absolutely amazing as well. I enjoy that they switch their menu items every couple of seasons. I do wish they brought back the puff pastry tart they had! That was one of my favorites. read more

Amazing food and customer service! They also can accommodate well behaved dogs in their patio seating area which is nice. Everything on their menu is high quality. I've never had a bad experience here and the patio garden is extremely relaxing on a warm summer evening. read more

Met a friend for dinner on a Tuesday night, ended up sitting at the bar as they were packed! We split the tuna tartare for an appetizer and from there I had the traditional mussels, she had the shrimp boil. All the food was fantastic! The guy sitting next to us at the bar said the grilled cheese is to die for - it looked good but the other stuff one the menu looks so good, I would probably not go that route. We'll be back with a bigger group to do a tapas night! read more

Fantastic service, excellent menu and great atmosphere. There are not many places like this in Rome, NY, very highly recommended. We had something from every part of the menu and it was all perfect. read more

Holy Smokes what a Find!!! Been chillin' here in Rome off & on since April. Whenever I ask folks what they got to eat around here they're all "We got Pizza?". I love pizza but as a Los Angeleno transplant I have a lil trouble going out for pizza EVERY time. "What do you guys do for Sushi? Korean Barbeque? Ramen? Taco Trucks?" "Well what about this Vine & Fig joint? Menu looks adventurous enough?" "Oh yeah, that just opened up. Been wanting to try it." Dude....? I get charcuterie every place that serves it. Vine & Fig's is in the cotton pickin' pocket. AND...? They serve it w home made freshly pickled vegetables. Outstanding Compliment to the richness of the cured meats & cheeses. Who does this? They ain't doin' it in L.A....and they should. Beet/Burrata salad was killer w the citrus slices mixed in / vinagrette: Lovely. I's a lil hesitant taking a chance on the Tuna Tartare but they sent that cleanly over the back wall as well. Just fantastic. Inside's cute. Everyone's too sweet for words. Generous Portions. More than fair prices, It Is....the Shizz read more

Best food in Rome. Consistently new menu items with in-season ingredients. Always fantastic service as well. If you're looking for craft cocktails that not only look beautiful but taste great too check Vine and Fig out. read more

Excellent restaurant. First time here (they only opened in the last few weeks) and we were very happy with our meal. The service was excellent, the food was too and they also have a full bar with several craft beers on tap. It's not a huge place, but not crowded either. They also have an outdoor seating patio, but the day we went was hot so we opted for inside. It had a nice ambiance and vibe and we really enjoyed it. We for sure will be back and probably soon. read more

Tired and hungry after a 4-hour trip on I-90 all the way from Boston, we found Vine and Fig by chance after missing the exit for the place we'd originally planned to go. I'm so glad we did. It's a really special place. The food, including lamb dumplings (daughter went wild for these) and tuna tartare small plates, the burrata salad, tofu banh mi sandwich and shrimp roll were all outstanding. Get the homemade ranch dressing on your salad! Local beers were excellent. Service was flawless and genuinely friendly. Lovely outdoor seating; only the mosquitoes got a little annoying after dusk. We were there on the late side; this probably wouldn't be an issue at other times, and watching the fireflies somewhat made up for it. In my opinion Vine and Fig is worth a special trip if you're anywhere in the general area. We'll definitely stop by again some day! read more

Really enjoyed the small plate options offered at Vine & Fig. Tried the bacon crostini, Spanish shrimp and the daily taco special. Great tasting! read more

We had a fabulous meal at Vine and Fig, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. I found this restaurant by searching for Vegan friendly restaurants near Rome, since my friend who was visiting prefers eating plant based. She was thrilled with the variety of choices that she had to pick from and said it was all delicious! My husband had the chicken milanese and I had the shrimp and grits. Both were absolutely delicious. The service was great as well ! We will be back! read more

Wow, happy to find this little gem! We were in town for work and my wife is a vegetarian. This place had a lot of options. The food good food good service. Would highly recommend! read more

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! read more

So happy we tried this place!! Didn't expect a whole lot but, wow, the food was great. I got the Mediterranean salad. The nuts and grains were perfectly toasty and the lemon vinaigrette well balanced. My California Chardonnay (Raeburn) was oaky and lovely. What I really want to talk about is the traditional mussels, perrrfectly cooked and delicious!! Lip smacking good. I will go back just for the mussels. Go here for the mussels!! My husband enjoyed his red wine flight (a Wednesday night special) and meatloaf with potatoes gratin. Dessert was good and since I have to eat gluten free the chef sent home a small jar of pumpkin custard for me without the shortbread:) that was a nice surprise. We will be returning which is more than I can say about most restaurants in Rome. read more

I really like the atmosphere. The bar is so beautiful. It faces the Turin Rd and it's really pretty neat. Their specials are pretty awesome. The recipes are not common and are uncommonly good! I would definitely order the special. read more

Had dinner at Vine and Fig last night and was very impressed. Loved the ambiance, this restaurant has personality in abundance. Our meal was great. A different twist on a cassoulet, which was very tasty. The desserts were the perfect answer to my sweet tooth. Ended up having two different ones and tasting others at the table. This restaurant has it all, comfort, style, great bar and food. Hope they are around for a long time. read more

Food and drinks all were phenomenal. First time at this restaurant and hands down best restaurant in Rome, NY. I've tried many different places in Rome and the freshness/cleanliness of the whole dining experience was a 10. Outside front area was very elegant and a beautiful place to have lunch or dinner. read more

Went here for dinner with several friends for a Saturday night dinner. The restaurant had just opened a few days before, and we were really impressed. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was great. The menu has an assortment of appetizers and snacks, some creative salads and sandwiches, along with some mussels and I believe a few other things as well. The wines were nicely priced, as was the food. It is quite different than other restaurants in Rome, and must have had good word of mouth as the place was full. It is attractive and comfortable inside - they are off to a strong start! read more

I love everything about the Vine and Fig! It reminds me of a boutique VT Cafe -- great small plate menu with unbelievably creative specials. This is definitely on my list of go to restaurants in Rome NY read more

Went on Friday night, had dessert only. Dessert was very good, although server said it might take a little longer because it had to be heated. It was a peach dessert in pastry with vanilla ice cream. Was not heated at all! Cold! The noise level is unbelievable, cannot hold a conversation at normal talking levels. Only reason I will return is because I have gift card. Unfortunate, because it has loads of potential. The not warm dessert wouldn't deter me but not being able to have a conversation woild! read more

Nice new place in Rome. Cool ambience and nice menu of small plates very well prepared. Nice wine list and local beers on tap also. We had crostini and Spanish shrimp to start and the daily special which was excellent. read more

Their cheeses and meats are so yummy. Also enjoyed their Thai mussels, Spanish shrimp, tuna tartar and Brussels sprouts! Cozy atmosphere and the bartenders/servers are very friendly and professional. Overall an awesome place! read more

Excellent food and service. Unique items offered on menu and some standards too. But the standards are fancier than what I would make at home. Each week they feature a special entree. My husband and I have had several; they are so delicious. Love this place. read more
