"Binu Bonu fits right into the small-town charm of West Portal Avenue. The Italian wine bar, from the original owners of La Ciccia, is where to politely sip drinks in low lighting, or to peruse well-stocked shelves of wine while you wait for a table at Elena’s across the street. The wine list covers a range of Italian varietals (bottles are 50% off if you want to take any home), and the menu is rounded out by a few snacky plates like charcuterie or smoked ricotta with grated tuna heart. The same warm hospitality from the La Ciccia days continues at this bottle shop, so don’t be surprised if you’re on a first-name basis with the owners after 20 minutes." - Julia Chen
