"Housed in a two-story bungalow right off Westheimer, this casual Montrose spot has a fairly lengthy menu that includes a full page of charcuterie options, tons of small plates and salads, and a fairly laudable mushroom risotto. Vinoteca is the kind of restaurant that’s great for a quick early evening meal with the parents, a casual night sharing charcuterie at the bar, or, once it gets dark outside and the restaurant’s moodiness heightens, a romantic date where you can loiter over a bottle of wine.
