Cata Vino

Cata Vino is a great place to go for a romantic evening or a good time with friends. We’ve been coming here for years now and the Spanish Tapas and excellent wine always hit the spot. “Our”bartender Lucas Khalil always takes extra good care to ensure we have a great meal and a cool vibe. I can’t say enough about all of the fantastic experiences we have had on quiet evenings or among good friends. Cheers To all the staff who make Cata Vino our favorite, “Go To” Resturant in Detroit!

An extension of Tapas La Ferria, this is a mini Spanish market, wine shop, and wine bar. It’s a fun bar with a wonderful vibe and a very bright but intimate attitude. I’d look forward to stopping by here for a drink after work or just before going home. The wine selection is great with a heavy Spanish/South American influence. You should be able to find something you like though.

A great place to get a glass of wine 🍷 or a cocktail 🍸. They have the staff to make anything you like. They're connected to a Spanish restaurant. The menu looks delicious, but we were there for drinks after dinner. We will be back to sample the food and drinks.

10/10 recommend. They have a vast selection of wines. The wine connoisseur made me a great flight to expand my palate. The tappas were amazing. Chicken was juicy, fried squid was tasty, and the shrimp was a favorite. The Sangria was amazinnnnggg, not sweet but smooth and flavorful. I was more than satisfied. Worth every penny, and I’m a frugal person 😉

Very nice place with an amazing list of wines! The $7 blanco I got was the best. The charcuterie board with rosemary cheese, mixed olives, almonds and crackers was good to share! I saw the bartender making cocktails that I can't wait to try at a later date. Very nice and inviting decor. Today was particularly loud because there were folks coming in from the baseball game. It was rather moderate noise before and I liked it better that way. I was able to talk to my friend without yelling.

The first time I came this place was incredible. Needed a bottle of wine, the employee was knowledgeable and really helpful. I bought two bottles. Couldn’t wait to come back again. The second time I came was this past Thursday at 10:45 pm to buy a few more bottles... Everyone was talking to each other and the chairs were already up. I asked if I could buy a bottle, an employee laughed, and said they’re closed. I was surprised because the sign in the front says they close at 11pm. I asked why they closed 15 minutes early. The employee said they already closed the register and couldn’t help me. I live nearby, I don’t know what happened here but it’s disappointing. I won’t be returning. If you close at 10:45, then your site/door should say the same. I understand if you can’t serve past 10:45 but declining the sale of a bottle is inexcusable.

So happy this place opened up in my neighborhood! Really nice staff, and surprisingly decent prices. Sort of place you bring a friend after a breakup, or to air your general grievances, while enjoying some European wine.

Went to the wine tasting event and it was excellent . Dionicio and Francesco did a fabulous job . The food pairing was also fabulous . Was a wonderful evening.Deserves more than 5 stars. The music also deserves 5 stars.

Food and ambiance! Hidden Detroit gem! Great staff and owner. Personal but professional, quality in season food.

A new friend and i decided to walk here looking for a wine spot - well we don't we hit the jackpot but it was more of MEH vibe. What we found out is this place is more for DRY drinkers - very limited with sweet options. They did have a food available but we opt'd out. Server was very attentive with the mild crowd but having the knowledge on the wine seemed limited. ok vibe - only thing i wasn't pleased about when he don't check in the middle of conversation and walked away; we didn't know they closed at 11pm so maybe that was reason for the oddness at the end. Then not being informed there's a "20% living fee" attached to the bill around - so i ended up tipping twice. My fault for not reading everything. Would I come back? Probably not! Happy drinking!!!

I'd like to start this by saying this is one of the most hospitable places I've been too! It was a Tuesday night and my partner was dying to snack at La Feria, the restaurant part of this venue. We arrived there a bit too late and the kitchen was closed. The manager felt bad and invited us in for a drink... and that's when our night began! From there we got to order in a few glasses and chat up a storm with both the manager and Stevie, one of the servers there. Great wine selection and even better company! They even let us try some of the Paella since we were pretty hungry and wow was it DELISH! The spot is very Spanish inspired and looks very authentic. If you enjoy wine and charcuterie you'll really love this spot. If you're looking to enjoy good hospitality, good quality vino and an overall memorable experience I recommend to make your way out to Cata Vino mercado & wine bar + try out La Feria a bite!

Cata Vino is my favorite restaurant in Detroit's Cass Corridor neighborhood. It offers authentic Spanish tapas, an extensive wine list, imported beer, and a small but unique selection of artisanal groceries in an intimate and cozy setting that feels like one is dining at a café in Spain. This review is long overdue as my first time dining at Cata Vino was shortly before Christmas with some of my work colleagues. In hindsight, this holiday gathering now feels more significant because it was one of the last times I dined in a restaurant with a group of people before the pandemic. So much has changed since then! I was able to try a good number of dishes on the menu and all of them were delicious. Some of my favorites tapas are the Berenjinas Fritas - fried eggplant with sea salt and honey, Morcilla - blood sausage with cumin and rice, Chorizo, and Gambas al Ajillo - seared shrimp with garlic, dried chili flakes, olive oil, and parsley. When the stay at home order ended and restaurants reopened in June, Cata Vino was the first restaurant I went to for takeout tapas. I ordered the Berenjinas Fritas and the Tostada de Almogrote - cured sheep cheese, garlic, olive oil, and dried chili flakes. Everything still tasted wonderful and I realized how much I missed the food from here. Cata Vino adjoins with La Feria and serves the same cuisine, only the Cata Vino side has the wine bar and what looks like hundreds of bottles to choose from. Carry out and curbside pickup is available so please support this wonderful locally-owned restaurant!

Really terrific ambience, and a great location in the Midtown district of Detroit. A nice tapas bar with a tremendous staff, including Lucas behind the bar. He made the visit special for us. If you're into the garlic, the garlic shrimp dish is enough to choke a vampire.

Soooo this place is literally just La Feria? We were super excited to try this cool Spanish wine bar, but when we got here we realized it's literally just another room next to La Feria. You can get all of the same food and drinks at both places, so why on earth does this business even exist? Why is the whole place not just La Feria? I don't understand. (La Feria is a five star establishment for sure though, so I figured three stars for this weirdness was reasonable?)

I stopped in here for the first time with friends as we were waiting for our table at La Feria. This is such a nice addition to La Feria; though they are separate, they are owned by the same people. This is definitely a wine bar and not a tapas restaurant. You can order beer, red or white wines or mixed drinks. There are only cold tapas and minimal ones at that. There are cheeses and other Spanish food ingredients for sale; though I really didn't look at these to know what the prices or varieties available. I ordered a white wine flight which was 2/3 good. Not that the wine was bad, just that I didn't like one. One of my friends likes really sweet drinks. One of the bartenders made her a specialty off the cuff sweet drink. It was quite good with a nice note of citrus. You can get Sangria next door and drink here. Sangria is not available here. This is a good way to spend time waiting for your table at La Feria. I will be back.

My beautiful lady and I arrived in time for their happy hour. We're a sucker for a good cab and this was a great one! We only stayed for 2 glasses as we were waiting for dinner so I don't have much to say other than their happy hour is a fantastic one. Turns out the bottle is only $14 and they have tons of options if you want to take one home. Happy hour price is $3 Mon-Thur (4-7pm) I believe..may be 8pm? I can't remember. Located in Midtown by cass & alexandrine.

Six of us dropped into Cata Vino for drinks and apps on a Saturday evening. There were six seats at the bar open, luckily. We all enjoyed our cocktails and charcuterie plate. This is a nice spot to enjoy before going out to eat or waiting for a table at La Feria (connected next door)

Run here!! Their small plates are amazing, I had one of my favorite meals...ever... here! We got the calamar a la parilla, calamares fritos, gambas al aijillo, and steak con mojo. The calamar a la parilla is the best thing hands down. It was grilled to perfection, the texture was the right kind of bite, and the aioli paired with it perfectly, after trying we immediately ordered a second. The shrimp is also super good with a great spice balance, and a tasty sauce that is worth every dip into it. Their wine selection is also so vast it's great, the staff was super friendly, and the food came out very fast even though they were packed on a Friday night. I can't recommend this place enough!

I always love stopping here for some great wine. They offer wine flights, and also cocktails! The selection of wine is impressive. It makes it convenient that La Feria is attached so you can sip on some wine if there's a wait for a table. The staff is friendly and ready to answer any questions. There's even a little cooler with yummy Spanish goodies you can purchase. Looking forward to going back again.

Great wine, atmosphere and appetizers. Good first stop for a night out in mid-town. Waitstaff made great recommendations

The worst service in Detroit. Cata Vino is a great concept. Nice inside, good selection of charcuterie and Spanish imports. Unfortunately that's where the good stops. We walked in last Saturday, sat at the bar and were ignored. Two bartenders and neither of them acknowledged us despite walking literally right in front of us multiple times. Within ten minutes three more couples walk in, sit at the bar, all are greeted and given menus. Hmmm. OK. We realize some sort of discrimination is going on. We ask for menus. A table opens so we leave the bar for a table where we are ignored again. Finally a server takes our order and goes back to the bar. The three couples that arrived long after us are already enjoying their cocktails and their food. The bartenders had time to make all of them cocktails but couldn't find 30 seconds to uncork the bottle of wine we ordered...before the others even arrived at the restaurant! We had been given no water, no wine and none of food we ordered. After waiting an additional 30 minutes we got up and asked for the manager. Ryan comes over and apologizes. No offer to make things right. I gave him my name and number and asked to have one of the owners call me as they need to know about our experience. So far a week has past and we've heard nothing. Shameful.
