Sparkling rose
Annie J.

This is definitely my favorite wine bar in Raleigh! I usually go to the Midtown location and it never disappoints. The space is open and modern, making it a really comfortable spot to relax. They have a nice wine selection. I'm not usually a sparkling wine fan, but their sparkling rose and sparkling red wine are incredible. The meats and cheeses are delicious, and the staff is super friendly and quick with service.

If you are a wine lover like my friends you will love this place and if you're newer to the wine fandom, like myself, you'll appreciate the knowledgeable staff and opportunity to try new wines. While I wish there was a larger selection of wines to choose from I can certainly appreciate expertly picked and fairly priced wines that are available. The charcuterie board was standard, but again, priced fairly. My friends and I got the "pick three" option for the board and it was definitely enough for 4 people. Pro tip: sit on the balcony during the Thursday beach music concert and get an awesome view!

I arrived here around 5:55pm on a Saturday evening to meet some friends. I was in a group of 4. This was my first time visiting this place and was suggested by one of the friends I visited with. The concept is pairing art and wine. They have a bar downstairs and upstairs. During this visit, the upstairs bar was closed. We ordered at the downstairs bar. They let you taste the wines/ciders, which turned out to be a blessing. They had a blueberry cheesecake cider that sounded delicious... but it is was not I ended up getting the blood orange cider and it was great! My friend got the hummus and crackers, which we enjoyed. No complaints. I noticed it being busy. My friend stated that have been here before and it's not normally as busy as it was. Regarding the wine and art pairing, I found it difficult to view/enjoy the art because the art was positioned behind tables. It would very extremely awkward for me to go up to a table and stand there to observe the art behind them. I think the concept would be better if the artwork didn't have sitting tables next to them. I'll note that not all of the artwork was blocked. We sat upstairs which was hosted string lights from the ceiling, providing a low light ambience. Additionally, we sat at a corner by the window, which gave a nice view of the courtyard. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would return again!

Cheese, charcuterie, crackers & vino

I met up with a friend for an afternoon glass of wine and late lunch, and I was really impressed by this place. They, of course, had a nice selection of wine but also beer and non-alcoholic offerings as well as food items (including gluten free options). I will be back!

What is not to love? Nooks and crannies everywhere upstairs, downstairs and outside to relax and enjoy whatever kind of wine you would like. I loved both the chardonnay and merlot I tried. Husband was fond of his Pinot. Reasonable prices. Order at the bar. Friendly. Clean. Would love one in our neighborhood!

Such a cute, trendy wine bar! This spot is fantastic for charcuterie and drinks. I highly recommend for a date night or catching up with friends.

I was here for a group event and we had an absolute great time. Service was friendly and it was pretty crowded which was a good sign. The food was great and we had a charcuterie board which was a good variety and perfect for snacking. Would go again!

Perfect spot post dinner on either a date night or with some friends to enjoy a glass of wine! Or in my case, I came solo while on a business trip and sat outside enjoying a glass of Pinot Grigio while reading a book. Friendly staff, not too loud, and plenty of seating. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area

Anne P.

Vita Vite Downtown Raleigh is a must visit! The ala cart cheese board was definitely a hit! I'm not much of a beer drinker so I opted for the cider which has now became my favorite! There's an extensive option of wine and beer! They also have ample parking in the back which is a good bonus!

3-cheese charcuterie Hummus
Tanvi G.

Attended a mom's meet-up here, on a Tues evening, at Vita Vite. Wow it is such a beautiful space, with lots of lounging areas and larger tables for groups. I ordered a sparkling rosé and a 3-cheese charcuterie board with a side of hummus. Everything was delicious and vibes are immaculate here. 10/10

You had me at wine
Bobbie C.

Vita vite is one of my fav wine shops in Raleigh. I often go alone to catch up on work with a nice glass of wine and charcuterie. The service is always great and the outdoor seating is really nice. The wine assortment is nice and the even have games for you to play with friends. It's very spacious with an upstairs and downstairs seating option and located right in the heart of midtown. It's a great date night or friends night out location. They do a good job in making recommendations based on your preferences too.

Charcuterie, cheese, and hummus.
Chip P.

Great wine bar in North Hills. Large, spacious, two-story location. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My wife and I usually go to the downtown location, but I think I like this one even better. Nice selection of wine by the glass, a small, but well curated, beer list, and awesome appetizers. Will definitely be back. I highly recommend.

Malbec & sparkling rosé
Megan H.

Stopped in after a maker's market and had a glass of wine. The space is an industrial boho space filled with local art. You can sit anywhere but must order from the bar. Please note that they keep your card if you open a tab. It had an interesting music selection for the space but other than that it was comfortable and a space we would certainly be back.

Beautiful main first floor area

The restaurant had some people dining in but they were not overly packed. Initially our server was pleasant and attentive. I got a blood orange sparkling water. It was ok. I ordered the whipped ricotta for an appetizer to share and a burger with fries for my entree. The whipped ricotta was ok. It would taste better with some sort of seasoning in it. My fries were served hot but needed some salt. I asked for my burger to be cooked well done but I was brought a burnt burger. I took one bite but it was too overcooked. I then requested that my server have my burger be cooked medium well so I didn't get another burnt burger. When my burger was brought back out, our server had me cut into my burger to make sure it was to my liking. The preparation was better but it was bland and tasted like there wasn't any seasoning on it. After this our server wasn't as attentive anymore. For dessert we got the donuts. They were served warm and I enjoyed them with the cherry sauce. I did not like the chocolate sauce that was served with the donuts.

The space is cozy, not too big, and lovely. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly & attentive. We even got to meet the Chef and let him know how amazing his curated and creative dishes were! We sat at the bar and were able to be seated right away. We each opted for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon (or two). On to the food! The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. Plenty of delicious and appealing options of small plates to share, but also a few larger ones. We started with the Goat Cheese Stuffed Piquillo Peppers & Truffled Deviled Eggs. Both of these were amazing. The Peppers melt in your mouth and had so much flavor. The Deviled Eggs had the perfect amount of truffle flavor and were perfectly cooked. Next we opted for the Baguette of the day - this one was served with Salami, Burrata, and Arugula. The bread was perfectly crispy and all of the toppings fresh and delicious; this was a perfect combination! Lastly, it was between the Lamb Sliders Trio and the Paella! I really wanted to try the Paella, but my sister and I decided that we would try something a bit lighter and the Sliders looked so elevated, unique, and delicious. They sure did deliver! Served with fresh Goat Cheese, Guacamole, Fresh Jalapeño, Caramelized Onions, and Sriracha, which we got on the side. This dish was absolutely amazing! So different. You wouldn't think to put those flavors together, but it was so great and we would hands-down get it again! All of the food at Vinos Finos was delicious, fun, and fresh. I love how the Chef puts together various flavors that you wouldn't expect. We cannot wait to go back!

Plenty of tapas to choose from too, and the sliders and olives paired perfectly with my wine selection. It's cool that you can tell it's a neighborhood gem, because it sees like they had some Sunday regulars which is nice in a city that's growing so quickly and can easily to lose that neighborly feeling.

CRAZY LOUD ...like impossible to hear clients and friends just two seats away…read more Very good interior design aesthetically; high energy vibes; packed to the gills. Food ranged from very good to 'disappointing': Lamb, meatballs, carrots, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, lobster bisque, fish balls, steak, empanadas, mushrooms, sheep cheese, bread, croquetas, pork belly. We would skip the pork belly (flavor was off), carrots (meh), bisque ( very very meh). Drinks were fine. Pours were less than fine on the wine (def NOT 6 ounces). For the Red Sangria be prepared for STRONG elderflower flavor (which I like but family members found off-putting.) Service was Ok.... Friendly, helpful. Add +30-60 minutes to your schedule (or more with a bigger group or on a Saturday night. We were there 2 hours for party of 5). We did not get all of our food but when asked they "re-fired" and brought to us. We asked for pepper which never came. We asked for another round of bread which never came. Not my favorite tapas restaurant in Raleigh but solid nonetheless.

However, the atmosphere is fairly low key, although there were a lot of people here dressed up (business parties?). The tapas were not my thing. I actually hate tapas and sharing small plates.

The food was okay overall, but the whipped goat cheese was absolutely a 10/10 and definitely the highlight of the meal. One thing that was disappointing was being charged an additional $3 for more bread because the initial serving simply wasn't enough for the dish. I hope for a much more welcoming and attentive experience next time.
