    Calamari (squid, shishito peppers, marinara)
    Corey B.

    Another fabulous night at Vista Vino. We had such a good time during our last celebration, that we wanted to celebrate another birthday here. Michael was our waiter again, providing excellent service and great suggestions for dinner. The restaurant was bright with the evening sun. We started off with Calamari and Crispy Ravioli with a fabulous basil chimichurri. Dan had added a few new dishes that Michael recommended - Pan Seared Barramundi parsley risotto, grilled asparagus, brown butter sage sauce. The dish was prepared with care and delicious. Chianti Braised Short Rib was our other dish which satisfied our palates many times over. For dessert, Chocolate Crème Brûlée with Frangelico. And of course, we could not leave without a satisfying taste of their famous Limoncello.

    Caesar Salad...skip it!

    We showed up a few minutes early for a Thursday night reservation we clearly didn't need, as they were mostly empty around 6:15 when we walked in. We were interested in hearing about the recent menu revamp...that is until my wife saw that the pesto tortellini, her favorite dish in all of Castle Rock, was no longer on the menu. Told that it didn't pass the test of enough frequent ordering to remain, it was replaced with other options. While not thrilled, my wife ordered the pesto gnocchi, which she thought was good, but not as good as the former tortellini dish. She declared later perhaps the most damning comment: the next time she's in the mood for a pasta dish she loves, she's more likely to visit another Italian institution a little further south off of Wilcox. They did have a lasagna dish, short rib, and a few other things that sounded good, so we'll see on our next time there. I, on the other hand, was happy to see the sea bass, my favorite dish, still on the menu. While it wasn't great on the last visit, it was as good as it's ever been tonight. If you like sea bass, get it. It's unlikely you'll regret it. Our daughter got the fettuccine Alfredo, which she got and loved on the previous visit. She noted that tonight's portion was smaller than last time. On the last visit, she had extra for the next day. Not so much tonight. It's ok, however, because tonight's dish was bland and not so creamy. I tasted and agreed with her assessment. She'll get something else next time around. Service from Michael A. was prompt, friendly, and courteous the entire meal. The bread (we think they changed that as well) was refilled once, and time waiting for drinks, food, etc., was minimal. Now, there weren't a lot of other people there, so the kitchen likely wasn't backed up, but it was nice to have a meal there that didn't last multiple hours.

    Baked clams

    I rarely ever ever give five stars to a restaurant but Vista Vino set the bar the moment I set my foot through their door. My wife, my two sisters and I was searching for a restaurant that would satisfy all our cravings that day, from seafood to steak, something light and something hefty...Vista Vino nailed it. The door was opened and we were asked to come in by a sweet gentle voice. The warm welcome followed with some sincere small talk as Chef Ignazio Mulei himself seated us at the chef's table. Already I knew this was going to be a great experience. And just this small interaction alone was better than any restaurant I've ever had. This built up our excitement. We ordered calamari and baked clams for apps; Chianti Braised Short Ribs, Hyplains Heritage 90 Days Aged Ribeye, Chilean Sea Bass (special), and Tortellini Pesto for our entrées; and their cheese cake, tiramisu, chocolate cake and raspberry moose for dessert. Every single bite was loaded with flavor! Our excitement didn't prep us for what we were tasting. Each dish were equally impressive we couldn't pick a favorite but loved them all. The biggest thing to note, my wife do not like fish and seafood, but I told her if she took a bite of that sea bass she's gonna change her mind. Amazingly, she agreed to give it a try. I watched her take a bite and her face lit up the way it did for the pasta and steak. She loved it! The quality, freshness, marriage of ingredients satisfied our search for light food, yet the portions and cuts were so generous we had a couple to-go boxes. Oh but we had room for dessert, always. And just like their entrées, each bite was so wonderful, nothing was heavy or too rich, it was Goldilock's just right. From our table, we were able to see how much care and pride each staff had. We observed and felt the loyal relationships between Chef and the long time goers. The space is small, the decor is a little funky, but none of that matters when you can feel that kind of love around food from everyone.

    Gnocchi Pesto (v)
    Anika D.

    I'm only mad I did try this place sooner. Everything we ate was phenomenal and the service was excellent. The bread was included and came with olive oil and balsamic. I'd recommend this place based on just the bread, it was a fresh, well-seasoned, flavorful focaccia. We also had the burrata, lobster ravioli, pesto gnocchi, and tiramisu crème brûlée. I get the impression that it was all made from scratch- I'd give every single thing we ate a 10/10. We've had a really hard time finding an Italian restaurant that has both good quality AND quantity. We've found it's either high quality, creative, from-scratch and tiny portions or low quality, boring food in large portions. Vista vino is the sweet spot. Their dishes are creative and flavorful, made with quality ingredients, and you really get the value in what you pay for. We are excited to go back and try out more of their menu.

It's been our casual and fun go-to spot for a great brunch, lunch, or dinner to enjoy time together or watch a game! We know and enjoy good food and hope it will always be around! The owners are wonderful, and the staff they hire reflect that. Beyond that, what really matters to us, at least, is great food--and Hideaway delivers every time. With the ever-growing Castle Rock food scene, we admit we've strayed from time to time depending on what we're looking for (fine dining, etc.), but we always come back to Hideaway when we want consistently good food, friendly staff, and welcoming owners. We've never had a bad meal. Unfortunately, that's hard to say about other comparable places in the area we have tried (but to each their own). Best onion rings we've tried anywhere (chicken tenders, fish tacos, burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, the Hideaway Signature Pasta--the list goes on), but honestly, everything on the menu we've ordered has been delicious, and every time we go, it takes us a while to decide since everything is so good! Hideaway has become something of a standard we compare to other similar establishments, and we look forward to dining here in the years to come!
