I've tried Vino Enoteca. Food was delicious but very pricey for what you get. I came away hungry after one lunch. Had ordered a salad and pasta dish. The pasta was $22! Delicious but a VERY small portion.

Vino Enoteca is Extremely pricy. Who wants to spend $50 for lunch?

I wish they had simple dishes not pricy for the staff who works around and for the patients/families who are trying to get some lunch when they are around at Lucile Packard Children's Hospiral or Stanford Hospital.
There aren't enough options around and everyone hoped theirs will be the one.

Wonder how long will they exist with this attitude.

Hello Mama and Abigail,
thank you for your feedback.
We are currently working on bringing a prix fix menu for lunch for a quicker service and more reasonable price.We are shooting to stay below 30$.
We totally understand the concern on spending 50$ for lunch, we do proudly use the freshest ingredients around and all the pasta is made in the house which comes with a high labor cost.
Also starting this monday we will start our Happy Hour from 4until 6 with great drinks and bar snacks.

Hope to see you soon
Ciao
Rocco

We very much liked the food as well on our first visit but were caught off guard by the prices. We'd love to go back, but we see your restaurant as not a "go to" restaurant, but more of a special occasion restaurant. There are lots of restaurants in San Francisco and in this area where they make their own fresh pasta and don't charge these prices.
