We met up for dinner with family at Vinia Wine and Kitchen on 9/25/26. The extraordinary staff provided a great setting for conversation and dining. From appetizers to desserts, Vinia exceeded our expectations. The beef empanadas, Brazilian bread, Pork, and cod entrees were delicious. The Pots de Crème were the perfect ending. We'll definitely return. Thanks to the owners and staff for making our evening enjoyable. read more

The 2026 No. 5 Magical Dining visit was to this charming restaurant in Hannibal Square. It's nestled on West New England Avenue, Suite 119 and will reminder you of an intimate bistro with Brazilian and Italian fusion dishes. Reservations are highly recommended as the seating is limited. It has a nice quiet neighborhood ambiance fitting for this area. Two other Yelp Elites (Lorn C. and Mikhail C.) joined me and we were seated in a cute half booth at the window. It fit the three of us perfectly and our server, Teaya, always made sure the previous plates were cleared before bringing the next course. Teaya was friendly and efficient and gave us sufficient space to enjoy each other's company. We each started off with a drink, and I ordered the Le Charmel Pinot Noir, which was delicious. We then each ordered our three course selections to start the evening. There was no rush to finish our drinks or dinner, which was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed the following three courses. First, the Plant-based "Escargot" was a mixture of mushrooms, zucchini, plantain and black figs. The "Escargot" in this appetizer's name comes from the plate it was served on and the delicious sauce prepared with it. Snails were not a part of this mixture, but they were not missed in this satisfying concoction. For the main course, I chose the Cerdo Iberico Con Salsa Pedro Ximenez. It was a deliciously roast pork tenderloin, sitting in a mustard sauce, which was incredible. It was also accompanied by herb roasted potatoes. Mikhail had the same course, and he raved about it also. For dessert, I chose the Affogato, which was a combination of vanilla gelato with caramel espresso on the side. It was the perfect final act for this magical dining experience. Mikhail chose the Pot De Crème which consisted of a rich chocolate custard with creme Chantilly and sea salt. He allowed Lorn and I a taste, and we all agreed it reminded us of a velvety chocolate mousse that was definitely homemade. Finally, I would like to also commend the manager/owner who checked on us throughout the evening and made us so comfortable in his environment. If you are ever in the Hannibal Square area, especially during the current Magical Dining period, I recommend you try this quaint restaurant. Just remember, as stated above, reservations are recommended. read more

I met up with friend to check out bite 30. I love the fact that they pair each dish with wine suggestions. To start I had the empanada de carne con queso. It was delicious, it came with hot oil and chimicurri as well as a seasonal salad. My main course was the chicken. It was good but needed a little of salt and pepper. It came with vegetables and coconut rice. The mix of coconut rice, white wine au jus and vegetables were delectable. Dessert was the star of my dining experience. Imported for the affogato with decaf. All in all, I had an amazing experience and will be back, read more

The Magical Dining experience here was phenomenal. They had multiple gluten free and vegetarian options. I ordered all vegetarian options without mentioning I was a veg. When I ordered the zucchini entree, the waiter,, Teaya, asked if I was plant based and wanted to substitute the parmesian cheese for a plant based cheese. She was such a thoughtful waitress and that was a really neat option they offered for plant based diets. Every single item I had was so delicious. As we know, vegetarian and gluten free often times doesn't get the same amount of flavor and attention as other foods, but that was not the case here. The vegetarian escargot was so delicious. The sauce had the same taste as real escargot, but of course the items brought their own flavor. The mushrooms were my favorite as they tasted closest to the real thing, but I was impressed they included plantains and figs. Each dessert on the Magical Dining menu was great. My favorite ended up being the chocolate mousse. Typically I don't like plain chocolate desserts, but I really liked theirs because you could taste it was handmade mousse and the whipped cream as well was handmade. The seating was limited, so I recommend reservations. It's located in the center of Hannibal Square, a super cutie spot in Winter Park. There was a free parking lot a short walk away as well. read more

Went with friends for the Bite30 event and it was such a delicious bunch of meals. I went with the burrito al pesto which had a good sized sphere of soft mozzarella with a bit of tomato pesto and slices of sun dried tomatoes all seated atop fresh arugula and three slices of bread. For my main meal, I had the rabo de toro (oxtail) cooked to tender perfection and I chose the tender gnocchi which were delicate pillows of potato/flour. This was an additional +$15 added to the meal but so worth it! To finish off the meal, I decided on the pot de creme which had large bits of salt speckled atop the dark chocolate custard. I was ready and willing to eat three more of these. The service was A+ for our party of six. read more

Let me first say the food was 10 out of 10!! I cleaned every plate I had and truly enjoyed every moment! I also am soooo happy with all the plant based options I had. The pumpkin crème brûlée - I haven't ever got to enjoy crème brûlée and I could have had five of those easily :D We came to celebrate my friend's birthday and the atmosphere of the restaurant and how kind the servers were to make a special moment for her was something we soon won't forget! My feedback would be that this restaurant is a little pricey(which I get for the area it is in but still). But the portion sizes are a little too small. $14 for a 2 1/2 inch empanada and mini side salad that's 3 by 3 inches, $23 for pumpkin and cauliflower in what most restaurants would consider a side dish size, and $8 for a crème brûlée that's maybe an inch deep and 4 inches wide is a little bit steep for what I'm getting. Don't get me wrong, it's really good, just too little for too much. Regardless, I can see myself returning, but it would be for a special occasion just due to pricing and size portions. read more

We got misled by a 3rd party source that Vinia has a happy hour menu...Vinia does NOT have happy hour. There was only 1 other party of 2 besides our party of 6 around 6pm on a weeknight and the food took absolutely forever to come out. My original rating was 3 stars considering everyone felt okay about their food and the wait time but I really liked my faux escargot dish. The bread was soft and toasted, all the plant-based escargot was wonderfully cooked and seasoned. It was a culinary experiment that hit the mark for me! read more

Vinia is a great place to hang out with a friend or enjoy a date night! The space is cozy but the service was great. We were given great recommendations and left satisfied. They had a great variety of wines. We ended up picking a red from Spain. I shared the burrata appetizer and ravioli of the day with a friend. I thought the pasta was cooked perfectly!! We also had their escargot (not pictured) which was phenomenal! read more

This was a very intimate experience with excellent customer service. I came here recently for my best friends birthday and our server/wine expert was so patient, knowledgeable and kind. She took care of 8 with ease and made my friends birthday special. The ambiance here is very romantic with soft lighting and light music. They have a really great special where you can get a three course menu with wine for $59. You get to pick the appetizer, entree and desert and each course comes with wine pairing offered with that dish. It was a great experience for everyone to choose their items. The birthday boy is actually vegan and I thought it was amazing that they offer vegan options for every category. They also gave him a complimentary prosecco class as well. For the wine, they have a very excellent selection of wines including sparkling, white, red, rose and some sweet options. I personally really enjoy sweet wine and loved the Sangue Di Guida. For food, I tried some of my friends dishes but I personally just got the Charcuteries and Fromages. The server was correct to say it's a good portion for the price. It also had a lovely presentation. In fact all dishes had a gorgeous presentation. I can't speak for everyone on flavor but I can say that the consensus was everyone enjoyed their dishes but no one was "amazed". I would need to try a full dish myself to make a wholesome reaction. For my charcuterie I found each item to be tasty, you can't go wrong with cheese though! Some crackers would've been nice. Everyone was obsessed with the warm bread. I will agree it was very good. Overall it was a great experience and I would certainly like to return and try the 3 course deal with the wine pairing. read more

Of all the Bite30 (now $38) options we have this June, you'd be as hard-pressed as a batch of grapes fresh off the "vinia" to find as simple but as charming a dining experience as Vinia over in Winter Park. I was surprised how much I enjoyed my Italian Starters (you pick 2, the eggplant being a solid choice - the artichokes more of an "also ran") and then my "light as air" pappardelle in a barely-there lemon cream sauce and a few prawns. To round it out, the always popular (I'm assuming) pot de creme, which featured a sprinkling of salt to go with such delectable sweet. And, lo and behold, they serve my beloved Sangue di Giuda here - buono! Our server, Teaya, was very friendly and although our meal took a bit longer than expected to come out, I appreciated the presentation and the fact that Vinia was almost fully-packed by the time we left. There are several dining options in this area and one or two new restaurants to do battle with Pepe's or Jam Hot Chicken. But Vinia is something else entirely. Strong European vibes, simple decor, delicious food, and lovely servers. Bite3(8) is the perfect time to come and check Vinia out for yourself. Grazie! read more

I went here on my birthday last night. I made a reservation over a week prior. They couldn't not find my reservation, but the place was empty so we were sat. The ambiance is kind of cheesy with the purple and green lights. Maybe it looks nicer when it's dark outside? It was 5:30, which is clearly during happy hour, however, I had to ask about happy hour before the waiter "remembered" to bring me the menu. I was going to order from the Magical Dining menu, however, if you go during happy hour, you're not getting a discount because with the half price app, the total is the same. I ordered the prawns with noodles and lemon sauce. The sauce tasted nothing like lemon and the shrimp smelled very fishy. My husband ordered the braised ox tail and couldn't even finish it. The food was pretty flavorless, but was presented nicely. The affagado serving was super tiny. Like, half a scoop of gelato and a teeny shot of espresso. We won't return here. I felt that my birthday dinner was ruined. I didn't take a photos because I didn't want to remember my dinner. read more

The food was excellent. You are not rushed and the service was very attentive. The place felt very intimate and cozy. we were four my self, wife, daughter and granddaughter, we ordered 3 sharing plates and 3 of the 3 course meals. W enjoyed every morsel and shared or should I say had a taste of EVERYTHING that we ordered. This was our 8th time in this restaurant and never have been disappointed. read more

We've visited Vinia multiple times for date nights, and each visit has been a delight. I like how dimly lit it is because it feels more intimate that way. The service is excellent, and on one occasion, we met one of the owners, who charmed us. I enjoy the fixed menu with the wine selection included. Our favorite dish is the oxtail with that ridiculously soft gnocchi, but we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. The food is consistently delicious! read more

First of all, I loved just walking up to Vinia! It's located on such a cute street! Walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by friendly staff and an intimate dining room, which we loved. There was an extensive wine list and a tempting limited menu that we could wait to try. We went for Orlando Magical Dining Month. I had the privilege with pumpkin compote!! Yyyeeessss!!!! Then, for my main course, I had the Arrosto di Maiale with Zucca Al Cartoccio! I knew it was going to be good but I didn't know it would be soooo delicious! I was thrilled! The pork was perfectly cooked. Loved this plate! To finish it off, I had the crème brûlée a delicious sweet treat to finish off this terrific meal! Definitely make this one of your next stops! read more

Loved the atmosphere, Fabio, and the food. Completely relaxing dinner. We started with the Italian Starter comprised of the best eggplant caponata, grilled marinated artichokes, and olives. We will double up on the caponata next time. Great texture and flavor with the surprise of candied nuts in it. We also shared the beet filled ravioli verde topped with a melon chutney, another unique winner. Our final dish was the potato and zucchini roulade, also crave-able. Fabio was fantastic in helping us make our selections. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit. This is also a great place to bring your vegan friends since they have a substantial selection of vegan dishes read more

Being Brazilian and appreciating both Brazilian and European cuisine, and also knowing that the owners were Brazilian and that the menu featured Brazilian, Italian, and Spanish dishes (and perhaps others, but these are the ones I remember), I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while and considering trying their Bite30 and Magical Dining menus. I ended up dining here on a regular menu on a random Friday night and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate, and the service is very attentive. For starters, we ordered the Brazilian cheese bread with guava sauce and the flatbread with pesto. Both were delicious, but the portions were quite small for the price. The "Rabo de Toro," braised oxtail, however, was what surprised me the most -- the meat was meltingly tender, and the slightly salty flavor was balanced out by the starchy gnocchi. Last but not least, the wine list is excellent, and if you're not well-versed in wine, ask the server for recommendations -- they'll offer the perfect pairing. My glass of Rioja paired beautifully with everything I ate. read more

First thing worth mentioning, and there are SO many great things worth mentioning, is that the owner, Fabio is awesome! I called last minute hoping I might be able to snag a reservation for six people. And Fabio went above and beyond to make it happen! It was SO nice. As if he isn't awesome enough, our server was also top notch. Shout out to C for taking such great care of us! Safe to say service is amazing, but what about the meal? Double amazing! The food was stellar. Beautiful presentation and flavor. There was a nice mix of classic and creative dishes on the menu. Our table enjoyed a variety with most of us opting for magical dining. The majority of us selected the braised oxtail with gnocchi and WOW! The only suggestion I can possible give to the restaurant is to please quadruple the portion ha! It was so divine I could have eaten it all day. Such pillowy soft gnocchi and tender meat make for a great combo! For dessert we had the chocolate pot de creme and the squash panacotta. Both were excellent and I absolutely love that squash made an appearance during dessert! Vinia is a quaint restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience. There was live music which wasn't overpowering our conversation. I will definitely plan a quick return. Thanks, Fabio and team! read more

Recently went with friends to check out Magical Dining and this Winter Park gem. We went on a Thursday so there was live music but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. I highly recommend making a reservation as it is a small and quaint little place. Our server helped with a wine recommendation. We started with a charcuterie board which would have been plenty for us. But we also split the Burrata, Brazilian cheese bread (personal fav) and eggplant flan. For mains, we split the cioppino, oxtail gnocchi and pork tenderloin. Everything was cooked to perfection and quite flavorful, not overpowering. The pork came with three medallions and topped with an amazing gravy (fav!) For dessert, we split a few of the pot de creme and affogato. Both were a light finishing touch to an overall great meal and night out with friends. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time! It was a bit smaller than I thought but a very cute spot. We ended up sitting at the bar as most of the seats were reserved. Was awesome seeing the owner working at the restaurant, you could tell he really cares about the food and quality. We came on a Thursday night for dinner and they had live music. It set the vibe of the restaurant, we really enjoyed it. We ordered from the Bite 30 menu. I opted to get the wine pairing for each course as well. The Burrata w pesto was amazing. The purple pesto was so good and the bread was so fresh and crispy. My friend really liked the olives that the owner marinates himself. Next was the Shrimp Pasta, wow this was delicious. The perfect balance of creamy and lemony, loved the clams mixed in as well. The pasta itself was so good! The shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Lastly we ended with the Pot de creme dessert. This chocolate custard was so decadent and smooth. We loved the flaky sea salt on top as well. The dessert wine served with this was super good! We cannot wait to come back here and try the rest of the menu! Especially to come back and have some more of the Shrimp Pasta! If you haven't been here you need to, you are missing out! I highly recommend this place. read more

I had been eager to try this spot for ages and finally made it for Happy Hour and Magical Dining! We booked a table on the outdoor patio, but the restaurant was quite busy. Fortunately, we arrived early and managed to snag an indoor spot before the rush. The place is charming, nicely decorated, and feels spacious despite its small size. The staff was attentive, and the owner stopped by a few times to check on us, which was a nice touch. To start, we had a half-off Pinot Noir during Happy Hour, paired with burrata, pão de queijo, and an empanada. Both dishes were delicious and offered generous portions. For the main course, my partner had the Braised Oxtail with homemade gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic--though I wished there had been more of it. We finished the evening with a delightful affogato, though it disappeared far too quickly! read more

What a meal. My mom, stepdad, and I had dinner at VINIA last month when we were in Orlando to visit Universal Studios. I had picked it because my mom is vegan and I'm always on the lookout for a restaurant that is great for vegans and non-vegans. VINIA was amazing. We shared: the Plant-Based Fromages, the Plant-Based "Escargot" a la Bourguignonne, Zucchini & Yellow Squash Ratatouille, the Ravioli Fatti a Mano (special ravioli of the day), the Beet Wellington, and the Rabo de Toro de Temporada (24-hour braised oxtail over house-made gnocchi), and the petite cheesecake with decadent tangy cheese creme and red wine coulis. Everything was amazing (with the exception of the vegan cheese plate which we didn't love as much as everything else). Seriously, some of these dishes blew me away! I also enjoyed some wine from their great wine list. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it felt like entering a European bistro in Orlando! And the service was great - so welcoming and friendly and just lovely! A great meal overall. One I'd be happy to repeat! read more

A must visit in Winter Park Florida. The food was delicious very fresh. Each dish was full of great flavors. There are vegan options and regular.

You can call it service with a smile. All the girls were friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the place is small and cozy. Nice modern decor. We liked it. Nice bar area. If you are in Winter Park try this gastronomical paradise. read more

The owner is so genuine and social. He manages to chat with each and every customer! He seems to love what he does.The food is delectable yet healthy. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. It's a small venue and it's packed with people rather than spaced out so it feels like you're in a foreign country or maybe D.C. or NYC. The wine is perfect. Great date spot. Even if your date isn't a match, you can easily suck it up because the place is so lovely. Sorry I didn't take pics it just wasn't appropriate to take food pics at the time. You can't go wrong with VINIA if you appreciate Mediterranean cuisine. read more

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is always amazing and has great flavors and the customer service is always top-notch. My friend and I came here for Magical Dining. She opted for the vegan items, which she enjoyed a lot. I got the bread and dips, the cioppino, and the butternut squash panna cotta with cocoa sauce. I liked everything, but the bread and dips were my absolute favorite. The dips were flavorful and the bread was perfectly prepared. I would even come back just for the bread and dips and then get some wine on the side. The place is a bit small and is only open for dinner, but is great for a casual or intimate meal. read more

Tried this place on a date night and it graciously delivered! Met the owner, Fabio, and from the moment we sat down, we were welcomed as if we were home - he was so attentive and you could tell the passion he has for this place. Every bite was delicious; we asked for more bread because we couldn't let them take our plate without devouring every pesto cream and oil packed with so much flavor. The moscato and pinot grigio complemented our dinner very nicely. My fave was the vegan "escargot" which had no snails at all - the mushroom, squash, and plantain were just super tasty and just melts in your mouth. The star of the show was the oxtail over greens! I wanted another order! It was so juicy! Will definitely try over gnocchi next time. On Thursdays they have live music starting at 7pm. We will definitely come here again to try more things and tell our friends about our experience - we know they'll enjoy it too. It's a small cozy spot in Winter Park and I just think it's perfect.

Food was great. Seats were super uncomfortable. I arranged a reservation for 9 of us weeks in advance. We were forced to gourmet dine while balancing on a super high tall stool that was so uncomfortable my back was killing me and I actually had to stand up to eat my dessert as my back was having spasms at the end of the meal. I felt angry that they sat us 60 year olds at such an obviously uncomfortable position I loved the food but I hated my table and especially my stool I'm not overweight either and I do not have any back problems. My sister who is 5'4" had to have her husband lift her onto the high stool like a baby and help Her get off also. I spent the end of dinner really miserable and it ruined my night. This is my first negative review of any establishment I am a very fair reasonable person who hates to complain and forgives most shortcomings. But this situation has me stiff and sore on a Sunday morning having to take a Motrin for the seat they forced me to sit in all night last night. Do better. I also read they have a private room. We had 9 people and spent $600 and didn't qualify for the private room option?!?! Wow read more
