Red or White offers a unique concept that combines a retail wine shop with a full-service…read morerestaurant. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by shelves of wines, charcuterie boards, and gourmet accompaniments, making it a fun place to browse before your meal. Unfortunately, my first impression of the service wasn't the strongest. When I approached the host stand, I was greeted with, "What do you want?" While it may have been an off moment or simply a poor choice of words, it didn't feel particularly welcoming. Since I was standing at the host stand in the dining area, I assumed it would be clear that I was there to eat. I was also initially directed toward the bar, despite it being nearly full and located in a busy area where staff were constantly moving through. Since I was dining solo and wanted a more relaxed experience, I asked about patio seating instead, and thankfully that was available. Once seated, my experience improved considerably. My server struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving me space to enjoy my meal. Since it was my first visit, I had several questions about the menu, and he was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely happy to offer recommendations. I decided to order one of the daily specials along with a build-your-own charcuterie board and a Kir Royale to drink. The Heirloom Tomato Salad was an excellent choice. It was fresh, vibrant, and had a flavor profile that set it apart from the many tomato salads I've had before. It's the kind of seasonal special I'd happily order again. For my charcuterie board, I selected Soppressata, Prosciutto, and Gin & Juice for the meats, along with Campo de Montalbán and Midnight Moon cheeses. Everything paired beautifully with the accompanying bread, nuts, and garnishes. Each bite felt thoughtfully curated, and it made for a leisurely meal that encouraged slowing down and savoring each combination. The Kir Royale was equally enjoyable--light, bubbly, and refreshing. It complemented the charcuterie perfectly and is an easy recommendation if you're looking for a celebratory cocktail. One of my favorite parts of the visit was the patio. It was the perfect place to enjoy Birmingham's beautiful weather while people-watching and taking in the neighborhood. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to linger over the meal. Before leaving, I had one more interaction with the hostess that left me a bit puzzled. Since I was dining alone, I took my belongings with me when I went to the restroom after letting my server know where I was headed and asking him to bring my check. As I walked back, the hostess commented, "I thought you had gone." While she may not have intended anything by it, the remark came across as though she assumed I had left without paying, which made for another awkward interaction. I settled my bill at the front counter without issue, but it reinforced my initial impression of the hospitality at the host stand. Overall, I'd rate Red or White an **8/10**. The food, drinks, patio, and service from my server made for a very enjoyable experience, and I would absolutely return for another charcuterie board and cocktail. The only thing holding this visit back from earning a higher rating was my experience with the hostess. Hospitality begins the moment a guest walks through the door, and small interactions can have a lasting impact. Even so, the quality of the food and atmosphere makes this a spot I'd happily visit again.

The event was advertised online with pre purchased tickets to start at 3. We showed up at 3 and were told that it actually started at 4. No problem, we had a drink inside and enjoyed the vibe. When we tried to cash out, it was a little difficult. There were extra people helping but they ignored me and my friend and walked away after clearing the men at the bar. When the bartender cashed us out, she charged us for the event that we'd purchase tickets for online and that was an ordeal trying to get a credit. As of the morning after, my bank account has a charge and no credit. All in all, I have 4 transactions (all charges) from them when there should be 2.

There was a little card wishing us a happy anniversary and some complimentary sparkling wine which was a very nice touch. We ordered the burrata and steak tartare appetizers which were both amazing, probably better than the entrees themselves. My husband ordered the burger and I ordered the roasted half chicken. The burger was cooked to temp but the patty is a thick smaller patty and hard to contain in the bun although the sauce and the fries were tasty. The chicken was also very good, moist and tender but another review had said fall off the bone tender which mine was not. The potatoes au gratin were also quite yummy. Our waiter was attentive and informative, drinks were good but we didn't try any of the specialty cocktails, ordering a beer/wine and a whisky sour instead which were also quality drinks. For dessert, we have *the* carrot cake and it might have been the best bite of the night!

They had a trial dessert on the menu, a lemon tiramisu, and it was hands down the best dessert I've had in a LONG time.

So to celebrate my wife's birthday this past Friday night the 16th of October 2026 my wife, myself and one of our adult sons picked Gianmarco's. The first glimpse of the restaurant was not what I had imagined. I pictured very small, crowded and more upscale. What my experience was a rather nice space with two dining areas with beautiful white table cloths and a very relaxed atmosphere. We were seated right in front of the kitchen area facing a large glass meat case which was both full and displayed a very nice assortment of meats. The wait staff picked up their orders from the top of this display so it became a very busy area. Some customers may have complained about this table however we really enjoyed it. It's where the action was a we were able to witness all of the different menu items being served up. Our service was very good. I had questions about two items on the menu and our waiter gave me some great advice. My wife ordered the lasagna and said it was very good! My son ordered the 16 ounce Duroc pork. He's a large man and he couldn't finish it but he said it was great. I had the veal marsala and It was so tender and delicious that I used my fork to cut it. It was exceptional. The portions were exceeded our expectations. All in all it was worth every penny. A note of caution! When you call to make a reservation the lady who answers the phone is not your friendly greeter. She is direct and to the point. She is also that way in person to seat you. The experience will make up for all that!!
