Lolita's Wine Market

Best Dinner of Our Trip! Lolita’s Wine Bar in St. Pete absolutely blew us away. Our server, Roland, was incredible — knowledgeable, high-energy, and just genuinely fun, which made the whole experience even better. We ordered the cheese board, the fire & ice ceviche, the mushroom risotto with burrata special, and the whipped ricotta — which ended up being my absolute favorite dish of the night. Creamy, dreamy, and honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time. Every single plate was fantastic, and the vibe + service made it unforgettable. Easily the best dinner of our entire trip. We’d go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

5 STAR SERVICE! Wow-This was my first time visiting Lolita’s. The staff was pleasant, welcoming and knowledgeable. The food was divine! We ordered our own charcuterie tray, tapas and their fire & ice ceviche. The entire dining experience was unforgettable. I will most certainly be back! Thank you!

Most underrated restaurant in St. Pete (maybe in Florida). Absolutely the best tasting food you’ll have at any restaurant, with the best presentation, in the best atmosphere. After having lived in NYC, trying Michelin restaurants 1-3 stars… this is by far my favorite of them all. A must try when in the area. Get a taste now while you can still get a reservation.

This wine and tapas restaurant is worth a visit, everything is very well curated and delicious. We sat outside where tables were plenty, they were much busier inside. Service was outstanding! So friendly and knowledgeable. Food was very yummy, featuring unique interpretations of dishes by the chef in a new and fresh way. Also also delicious which is most important.

Lolita’s Wine Bar has become one of my go-to spots since I moved to St. Pete three years ago. The charcuterie and small plates are absolutely incredible—always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Whether you're planning a girls’ night to sip wine and chat, or looking for a cozy date night spot, Lolita’s checks all the boxes. It’s a small, intimate space, which gives it a cozy vibe, but that also means seating can be a bit limited, especially during busy times. If the weather’s nice, though, the outdoor seating area is a great option for larger groups. If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try—you won’t regret it!

A $20 corkage fee applied to any bottle of wine you purchase FROM THEIR OWN WINE LIST? This is not how a corkage fee is typically applied, and genuinely feels like a cash grab from the business. What felt like a great value on a fantastic prosecco, was quickly ruined by this fee. Excellent food and atmosphere as usual, though.

Lolita’s Wine Market in St. Pete is the perfect spot for a memorable date night or a fun girls’ night out. I visited for my birthday with a few friends, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The service was absolutely impeccable — our server went above and beyond to make us feel special. The sommelier did an amazing job guiding us to a wine that perfectly matched what we were in the mood for. As a thoughtful touch, instead of a traditional birthday dessert, they surprised me with a complimentary wine glass, which felt so personal and memorable. The food was equally impressive — the short rib mac and cheese was rich, flavorful, and absolutely spectacular. I can’t wait to return and would highly recommend Lolita’s for anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming spot with incredible food and thoughtful service.

“Charcuterie? More like Char-cu-dreamy.” Listen, if I were a mouse with a credit card and refined taste, I would absolutely blow my tiny rodent salary at Lolita’s Wine Market every single weekend. This place is cheese-and-meat heaven, and frankly, it should be illegal to have this much flavor under one roof. First of all, let’s talk boards. You think you're going in for a cute date night, next thing you know you’re six cheeses deep into The Lola Board wondering if you should text your ex just to show them what they’re missing. (Spoiler: don’t. Just order more prosciutto.) We went full send with the Gambas al Ajillo and Paella, and let me tell you, I blacked out from joy somewhere between “jumbo shrimp” and “chimichurri.” I came back to consciousness with a spoonful of Fire + Ice ceviche, which sounds like a Game of Thrones spin-off, but instead, it’s ahi tuna with lychee, jalapeño, and a granita that slapped me across the soul. The dates (not your Hinge match, the edible kind) were stuffed with chorizo and gorgonzola, and I’m still emotionally recovering. Sweet, spicy, creamy, and possibly magical. If Cupid made tapas, this would be it. Need to feel fancy? Order the Delice de Bourgogne triple cream and say it loudly so the whole patio knows you have impeccable taste and probably own a cheese knife set. Then hit ‘em with a duck mousse port wine pâté chaser because life’s short and pâté is a flex. Wine? Yes, obviously. Pair it with everything. Pair it with your thoughts. Pair it with that internal voice that says, “Get the pineapple-date chutney too.” (Spoiler: It’s right.) Pro tip: Don’t skip the spreads. The whipped feta and ricotta were so divine I briefly considered smearing them directly on my face. They come with ciabatta, but I could’ve eaten them with a flip-flop and still been thrilled. In short, Lolita’s isn’t just a wine bar—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where cheese dreams go to be fulfilled, and where even the dates (again, the food kind) are stuffed with ambition. If you’re not here by sundown with a glass in hand and a beet carpaccio in your mouth, wyd??? I’d give it 6 stars if I could. One for each cheese-induced tear of joy.

If wine and charm had a baby, it would be Lolita's Wine Market. This spot is the definition of "casual sophistication with a wink." It's giving cozy European bistro meets St. Pete soul -- the kind of place where time slows down, and every pour feels like a celebration. The ambiance is pure magic: twinkly lights, rustic wood tables, and that warm, unpretentious energy that makes you feel instantly at home. Whether you're there for a date night, solo sip, or to laugh too loudly with friends -- it's all fair game here. The wine list? A love letter to anyone who appreciates a good story in their glass. The staff actually knows their stuff and guides you like a trusted sommelier friend, not a snob. Every suggestion was a hit -- balanced, bold, and delightfully drinkable. And the food -- wow. The charcuterie board deserves its own round of applause: perfectly curated, generous portions, and those little flavor pairings that make you go quiet for a second because your taste buds are having a moment. The flatbreads and small plates were equally on point -- thoughtful, fresh, and full of personality. Lolita's isn't just a wine market; it's a vibe. It's where you go when you want to feel fancy without trying, or when you need to hit reset with a glass of something divine. Elite tip: grab a seat outside during golden hour -- order the board, let the staff pick your wine, and toast to St. Pete being this effortlessly cool.

UPDATE I appreciate the owner's response and respect that memories of an evening can differ; however, we are not in agreement on several details. Yes, we had one quiet child with us, and we did have a laptop open for part of our meal, but only as part of our conversation--nothing more. We chose your restaurant because we had heard the food was amazing, and my original review was written to share our dining experience and to highlight both the excellent food and the concerns with how we were approached, not to create conflict. If you had chosen not to seat us, or had spoken with one of us privately to express your concerns, we would have understood and welcomed that dialogue. This was our first visit and we were unaware of any pre-existing guidelines. It also appears you may have mistaken me for someone else. The individual you referenced seems to be a small business owner entirely unrelated to me, and I would hate for an innocent person's reputation or livelihood to be affected by this misunderstanding. ________________________________________________________________________ This is going to be a very mixed review. If I were reviewing just the food, this would be a five with absolutely no problem. The Chef really does a great job and provides very flavorful combinations. We had a bruschetta crostini type of plate and it was so fresh and bright. It was delicious with the wine we were drinking. And the balsamic fig jam in the whipped feta, unbelievably good. But if I were to rate this on service the service, it went from a five to an absolute one. When we arrived, the server looked slammed but he was so helpful. He knows his wines inside and out. Did a wonderful job recommending our wine. But as the evening went on, he stopped checking on us and we wanted a second glass of wine and were never offered one. We tried to flag him down, but it was difficult. And then our decision was made for us by another employee. She wasn't dressed in uniform, so I'm assuming some sort of leadership position, came over to our table and, whether it was her intent or not, it was how she framed her question that brought our evening to an unpleasant end. She didn't come over to our table and ask about our meal nor did she offer another glass of wine. She came to our table and said, with a little attitude, are you getting anything else? Again, intent may not have been to be rude, but the way it came across, it was if we had been at our table too long (we had been there about an hour and a half). We were enjoying our charcuterie board, which was only half empty. There were others in the restaurant that had been there longer than us and she didn't appear to go to their tables, but maybe she did. But that made a wonderful evening less wonderful. I would say if you're looking for great food that pairs well with wine, by all means visit. But if you want a pleasant evening, I would skip.

Lolita's has a great variety of charcuterie and extremely welcoming staff. The meat and cheeses are always top quality. While the service does tend to take a bit longer on busier nights, if there's ever service issues, they know to correct it with a glass of wine on the house or honest apologies. We will continue to come to Lolita's for a great, casual night out. We will miss the beautiful patio location!

A special place indeed. They converted the space at the end of a train station into the most charming little restaurant with amazing food. They, of course, have a fantastic wine list, but we were all so impressed with our meal. The short rib was so flavorful and their take on patatas bravas should be in a class of its own. There was so much going on in terms of flavor, colors, and texture. We dined inside, which was a little tight, but everyone including the servers are mindful and swift passing through. The floors creak, but you'll get used to it, and if not, they have a ton of tables outside on their welcoming patio with bougainvillea and strung lights. Enjoy while the weather is cool!

Keep an eye on your credit card statement. We had dinner a few weeks ago, tippped 18%. When I received my credit card statement - SURPRISE! - there were two charges - before AND after tipped amounts. We went to the restaurant tonight and talked to them. They (Jack) told me they COULD NOT do anything but for me to call my credit card company. Totally not apologetic. Really ???!!!

This is the second time I've been to Lolita's since they moved locations. They are now located in an old house by the Morean Center for Clay with an intimate dining room. They also have an amazing outdoor seating area. Their wine selections are out of this world. The food is fantastic. Whenever I come to Lolitas I want to try as much as possible. They offer different options for charcuterie with a great selection of meats and cheeses. We had a cheese board that we customized, the burrata, and for dessert the tres leches cake. Everything was amazing. Great service. Our Spanish red wine was a perfect compliment to our meal. I recommend if you'd like to sit in the dining room to make a reservation as they don't have too many tables. They are open Wednesdays - Saturdays from 5:00pm - 9:30pm and Sundays from 5:00pm - 8:30pm.

What a lovely evening! Let me start by saying you must have a reservation. We've tried to pop in before and it just doesn't happen. But they had an open reservation last night so we snagged it and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we got there, Nicky the hostess was welcoming and friendly (I low-key have a lady crush on her now). She sat us at a nice table inside right in the middle of everything. There is an open kitchen so you can watch the hustle and big windows that keep the space bathed in natural light to enjoy all the local art. Our server, Roland, was professional and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine. We tried the anchovy toast (the evening special), "fire and ice" ceviche, watermelon salad, paella, short ribs, and more! Oh and both deserts. The food highlight was hands down the paella base. It was more like risotto than the Spanish rice you'd expect. It was fantastic and the seafood on top was expertly cooked. The "fire and ice" ceviche is served over dry ice so it's a very fun presentation. It's ice cold in temperatures but has a sweet spice that makes the name a perfect fit. The coconut dessert cannot be missed--even our friend who doesn't like coconut tried it and loved it. If I have to nit-pick, the chocolate dessert is served in a tall, narrow dish that was a sort-of difficult to get a bite of all the different components but how else do you serve a trifle-like dessert? Like I said, that's me searching for something to complain about. Overall a truly fantastic experience. We will be back. We even left with some local art!!

This place is incredible and worth all off the hype. We did the build your own charcuterie board and had some small plates and everything was phenomenal. Our waiter had some great wine recommendations, as well!

Sometimes you have to find a very different place to eat. It can be the meals from another restaurant, another culture, another region or such. It has to be different on many levels. It also has to represent what you might be doing in the area when you decide to go out. If you find yourself in the "Art District" there are many possibilities there beside a typical meal. This is where you find things different and cross many cultures at once. This night we were in our art district and at the ceramic school and studio. It is in the old train station. It has gone through changes at time, but one of the newest changes was the creation of Lolita's Wine Market. It was different. It is not a typical wine bar. Instead this is a mix of wines from different regions. Wines of different styles and tastes and flavors. Wines that would be different depending on what you eat. And, with the meals more like those in Spain with their Tapas, this is the perfect place to be where you can have some wine and a selection of tapas and "boards". These boards are a vast selection to choose from. It is a combination of cheese, meats, olives, breads, jams and other items depending on what you prefer. There is Italian and Spanish and a touch of American. For us we went with the French Board. It is a combination of Delicede Bourgogne Triple Cream, Buchde Chèvre. Tommede Savoie. Rosemary Ham, Rosettede Lyon Salami. Cornichons. DarkChocolate. Cabernet Berry Jam. This was the place to start with a red wine we selected for this. It was a perfect combination. Next we had The Farmer's Board. This included Moroccan-spiced Lemon Hummus. Heirloom Carrots. White Bean Giardineria. PickledVegetables. Golden Beets. MarinatedArtichokes.Corn Arepas.Balsamic Fig Jam. For this we decided to go with a light white wine. The dishes were ideal and we could have had more. We had the pre-selected boards but you can make your own combination of what you want and how you create it. The wine is a large selection of different tastes and feelings. You can go back many times and try to try it all. For the last item we did have the Tres Leche Cake. That was light and ideal, along with a cup of coffee. Overall, this is the place to be. It is off the beaten path and not where you might expect. Maybe it is time to take the train and see what is waiting for you when you arrive there. Lolita's. Now that is a work of art.

Excellent board service where you can customize what you want, or you can just order their pre-built charcuterie. TRIPLE CREAM IS A MUST. The hot tapas dishes were all excellent as well... tucked away in the cute corner of the Morean workshop station ambiance just adds to it even more!

Adorable! Girl dinner in the outdoor garden area was such a serene beautiful serene way to wind down on a Thursday after work. The lavender ricotta spread is unreal and got it with the farmers board which was light, refreshing, and flavorful. Delightful way to get my veggies in. Didn't opt for any wine this time but I muuuuust go back to get the full experience

Yum yum yum !! Always a great meal at Lolita's, this time we got the build your own board, dates, and croquettes

Heard great things about Lolita's and finally was able to check it out! Came here with a group of friends as they have an outdoor patio but we sat inside. Beautiful decor and a great wine list! It is more tapas style. Service was great and had a great dining experience. Must get the Lola board from the signature boards and I would skip the paella. I'll definitely come back!

Lolita has great tapas all fresh served with an attractive presentation. They have a nice wine list and the server is knowledgeable and is able to choose a suitable wine for you. Inside is cozy. They have many cheese platters . For health reasons I'd like to see more vegetarian dishes without any cheese All in all always a delightful dining experience.

Lolita's Wine Bar has become one of my go-to spots since I moved to St. Pete three years ago. The charcuterie and small plates are absolutely incredible--always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Whether you're planning a girls' night to sip wine and chat, or looking for a cozy date night spot, Lolita's checks all the boxes. It's a small, intimate space, which gives it a cozy vibe, but that also means seating can be a bit limited, especially during busy times. If the weather's nice, though, the outdoor seating area is a great option for larger groups. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't regret it!

We have been going to Lolita's for years now and just experienced their new location at Morean Clay Center. A historic train station turned into a clay studio and art center. We LOVED eating outdoors in their new space. It will definitely be great during the fall, winter, and spring, but summer will be difficult. They do offer inside seating but it is a smaller space over all. Hopefully they will be able to expand into part of the station. They were forced to move from their old location as it's being torn down for a new apartment complex. While the location has changed, their food and wine remain superb! The food is ALWAYS excellent! We have never had anything bad at Lolita's. Their tres leches was served in a coconut with conunte meat still intact. That was fun to see placed in front of us. Parking should not be a problem, unless the clay center is having an event. They have brunch on Sundays 10:30am - 1:30pm head to their website to make reservations. Their staff is always on point, but last night I really enjoyed listening to Roland with his guests. I could tell he is super passionate about food and enjoys sharing what Lolita's has to offer it's guest. I will be asking for him as a server on our next visit. Our dishes: Charcutier board: Black Pepper Salami, Rosemary Ham, Palacuos Chorizo, honey with honey comb, truffled goat cheese peppadews (one of my favorites), Cabernet berry jam, via arra bread+crackers, manchego, and two other cheeses.. I can't remember the names. Cold Plate: Truffle Focaccia - black truffle mushroom ricotta, grana padano, truffle honey, mad n salt, baby arugula. Hot Plates: Scallops - ancho-espresso spiced, butternut squash ravioli, apple-jicama slaw, sage mojo. Beef Short Ribs - gorgonzola-cracjed pepper gnocchi fondue, tempranillo demi, wild mushroom gremolata, crispy shallots Dessert: Tres Leches Cake - sponge cake, 3 milks, pineapple compote, toasted coconut, meringue, served in a coconut They have an extensive wine list online. There is a QR Code on the table that will take you to their wine menu. Don't forget to leave them a review here on Yelp and on Google Business! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have over the years.

Delicious food and service. Definitely recommended to try the Fire & Ice Ceviche. Also outside is great to come with your dog

I love this place!! It moved from 16th street a little while ago to the new location. It's small and cozy so you need a reservation. Lots of outside seating too. We tried the brunch this week and it was incredible! Lots of amazing shareable food, spreads and boards that you can pick from or the waiter will help you build a board! Great fun wine choices and fun cocktails too! The food is incredible and really fun to get a few things to share Great for a group!

Came here on a Friday to celebrate Galentine's! Parking was easy with a lot across the street that was cheap. We were greeted by friendly staff. FYI they will not seat you without your whole party being present. It makes sense since you do a little wine tasting to find or pick a wine you like. I picked a glass of Prunotto Moscato D'Asti. Delicious and perfectly sweet. They offer interesting items on the menu and it all sounded amazing. I ordered a Build Your Own Charcuterie Board. I ordered prosciutto ($6.25), a truffle mousse pate ($4.85), truffle Cordero ($4.17), and Delice de Bourgogne Triple Brie ($5.08). I ordered an olive mix ($3) and honeycomb ($2) as well! Everything was fantastic! Can't wait to come back!! Would definitely recommend this place!!

The food, service and atmosphere is stellar here!! The new spot has been well done!! Will for sure be back again

Roland the server is AMAZING!! Very informative, great recommendations, remembers you as a customer. Makes you feel welcome!

This place is great! Wonderful food, and great wine selection! Indoors is intimate and they have a lovely outdoor area

Returned to Lolita's at their current location and it is as wonderful as ever! Food was amazing. Tapas style choices but each very substantial and perfect for sharing. Special kudos to our server Roland. When we left, my husband and I both agreed that it was the best service we have ever had at any restaurant. Roland was knowledgeable, made excellent suggestions, was charming and funny, and provided just the right amount of attentiveness. Great food and service - a perfect experience!

Lolita's is a cozy local wine/cheese/tapas restaurant with wonderful friendly service, excellent cheese selections, and knowledgeable staff.

Our server Roland was amazing , his knowledge of wine and suggestions was really impressive , he made our experience . The inside is adorable , as is the outdoor seating , it was a chilly night so we opted for inside it had an old San Juan Vibe . The food was equally as delicious, however everything was VERY rich. The wine choices were also pretty good for by the glass , I appreciated their conversational pour. I thought their tapas were a bit pricey, however , they did give LARGE portions . Much larger than any other tapas restaurant I've been. Will return .

The food, wine and service was great! Will definitely come back for dinner. Give it a try.

Absolutely exceptional experience! Definitely worth a visit for the creative food and fantastic service, but make a res to sit inside so you can get their full menu. The service was spot on with great pairings and recommendations by our fab server, Rachel. She helped us pick a wine (a funky white from Spain!) and paired with the Spanish board which was spot on. The whipped ricotta was straight from heaven too. We split 2 entrees and a salad between the 4 adults and it was perfect. The shining end to the meal was the chocolate pot de creme. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an inventive menu in a fun atmosphere with top notch service!

I used to go to their old location often and was concerned they would lose their ambiance but this new location enhances it! Stellar customer service with great recommendations. Their build your own charcuterie board is such a great deal and their small plates are delicious!

Everything Roland suggested was spot on.. every dish was spectacular Do NOT trust the reservation system. It reported the pace was booked full. I called.. we got in and the rest is history Yeeeowzers!!

This is was by far the best dining experience we have had in the St. Pete area! As soon as you enter you get to try different kinds of wines and then are lead to the restaurant which is quaint and intimate. The chef is superb and every bite from the charcuterie pairings to the crafted small plates are all delectable! Even the NA spritz was phenomenal. To top off the experience the service was exceptional. Roland was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure. We will be coming back often!

Unbelievable food, wine, and service. The charcuterie choices are amazing and I enjoyed what I consider to be the best ceviche I have ever eaten. The pic really doesn't do it justice. Ahi, jalapeño, lychee tomatillo, red onion, toasted corn and the most surprising and wonderful component... served over a passion fruit granita which kept it chilled and added an amazing flavor profile, contrasting the spicy tuna. Bravo! The presentation for all dishes was outstanding and the wines by the glass were stellar ... and we had many.

I'd come here last year for Tampa Bay Restaurant Week and was so impressed with the options for wine, charcuterie, and food in general. Prices were a bit high, but the quality and ambiance is definitely worth it. Unfortunately, I started feeling unwell (unrelated to COVID or the food) so we didn't get to stay and enjoy the experience too long. I'd wanted to come back ever since. Fast forward to recently when I stopped in after a Rays game. Service was just as on-point as I'd remembered. The staff were just as knowledgeable about the different wine options and flavor profiles. They offered a sample as soon as we walked in the door. I'm not normally a sweet wine person, but their Vietti Moscato d'Asti was incredible! We sat down and our server brought over some bites of radish with oil and a black salt. It sounds simple, and I'm not normally a fan of radishes on their own, but this simple combination was insanely good. The menu was online (awesome; save the paper waste), but sadly no wine list to view at all. I like being able to see and choose my drink based on flavor profiles and price point, but the servers are very aware of their options and we're able to make great recommendations per our preferences. We planned on splitting a few small plates and then a create-your-own charcuterie board. Unfortunately (in a good way), there were SO many delicious sounding options to choose from that we had to skip the board. (It's okay though; it gives us a great excuse to go back again!) I highly recommend the cauliflower small plate. The texture almost melted in my mouth with just the most tender crunch and the taste was incredible. The ricotta jar (pictured) was divine! The bread/cracker options were perfect and unique. I'm a fan of soft, buttery breads and it delivered! My boyfriend likes the crispy, crunchy crackers and he was impressed too. The oil comes in a tiny pipette, so it was fun and tasty all at once. My boyfriend also got the octopus and curry meals. The octopus was a little more chewy and smoke flavored than he referred but it was still very good. He absolutely loved the curry dish. We will definitely need to come back again soon to try more from the menu. I'm already excited for the beet salad and charcuterie board next time!

This is our favorite restaurant in st Pete. It is very intimate. The food is amazing. The staff are very knowledgeable about wine and help you choose a nice bottle or glass.

Lolita's is an all time favorite of ours in St Petersburg. Once you are seated, you let your server know what you like in a wine and they find a perfect pairing. The food is tapa style and charcuterie boards. Everything is delicious and flavorful! You can't go wrong with anything here!

Amazing wine restaurant with great food! The service is always great when we go, the staff as a whole are amazing. Cute cozy vibe! Highly recommended.

I have to say, this experience did not compare to last time, with the 5 star review. The flavors just seemed off tonight...especially the short rib orecchiette, which had a sauce overtop and the pasta itself was mushy. The roasted cauliflower was served on top a cold cauliflower purée with corn nuts and golden raisins...both of us felt it was a terrible combination and I don't know if the cauliflower purée was intended to be cold, but the hot/cold contrast was not enjoyable and I would not recommend this dish. In terms of wine, I found it strange that for a wine bar/market, they did not have a single bottle of Napa cabernet available. Apparently they sold out of every single bottle of all Napa cabernets and all that was left was a single glass left in their last bottle. I was interested in buying a bottle, not a glass. I was not looking for one particular winery in Napa or price point either. It was a Friday night, not much past 6pm...so seems like they need to get ordering system figured out to make sure they don't run out of a very popular/commonly ordered Cabernets from Napa Valley. [Note: My intent in writing reviews is to share my perspective on dining experiences and my opinions on particular dishes/cocktails. I'm not intending to bash any particular restaurants...just providing my honest feedback through these reviews. I often find myself reading Yelp reviews to help me decide which restaurants to try and dishes to order there, and it is my hope that my reviews can similarly help others.]

OMG this place is SO fantastic! Not gonna lie, I live in Tampa and was a bit hesitant to drive all the way to St. Pete to try it, but now I am so glad I made the drive. And cannot wait to make the drive again and again to Lolita's! First of all, the vibe is immaculate. It's so cozy, intimate, and inviting. You walk in and are immediately greeted by someone behind the counter (I think who was helping us was the owner, and she was SO sweet) to help you with your wine choices. She was so patient and took the time to ask what kind of wine we liked, then let us sample a few. She also took the time to explain the differences between all the wines and the notes/etc about our choices. It was SO awesome! Next, the wine selection itself was great. We all liked almost all the wines we got to try, and it was hard to pick our glasses because they were all good. The food was also FANTASTIC. I wish we could have tried the whole menu. We started with the Italian charcuterie board, but there are other pre-selected options, and you can also create your own board if you desire. The Italian board was delicious though. We also got a jar of ricotta, and this was literally the best thing here. It was sweet and creamy, and tasted delicious spread on top of their warm, crusty bread. We also had the chorizo dates, which were out of this world. Highly highly recommend coming here!

The food, the wine, and the ambiance are all perfection! Do yourself a favor and go here!

Outstanding food, good portion size, knowledgeable staff, excellent wine selection covering a wide range of price points....ambience is fun in an old train station, noise is moderate....I will return again and again with friends and family. Joe K, Tampa

I really need to come here more often to discover my wine palate! My friend and I each had a glass of sauvignon blanc. I just know that it was from Australia, but the taste was fruity, dry, and a little spicy. We shared a ricotta jar and some peppadew peppers stuffed with truffle cheese. The ricotta jar was so delightful. There were tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic pearls in it! It came with an assortment of crackers and bread. The ricotta had a lot of flavors! So delicious.

Had a 60th birthday party at Lolita's wine market last night! What an event! Reserved the restaurant and outdoor space- had it all to ourselves! We did an outside bar with charcuterie and then took the party inside. Had an incredible tasting menu. The food was phenomenal the service impeccable. Would highly recommend for any party or event you have coming up. Work with Jack he's amazing.

Lovely little restaurant located in a good location in regards to downtown St Pete. They only seat you when you're whole party is there. My white was $13, and that seems about average for the glass of wine there. They call tap water "local" which I find so endearing, I'm absolutely stealing it. I appreciate that you can build your own board and purchase a pre made. We opted for the French board for 4 of us, along with adding olives & corn nuts, as well as a Ricotta jar (which is basically spreadable dip/ricotta in this case) with some crackers and sourdough bread. We had to get more bread and crackers due to having a lot of left over dip and not enough dippers. A fair amount of cheese and meats with the extra jam and mustard, with a few pickles thrown in. The Ricotta jar was also a pretty good choice, especially when mixed with the fruit jam. Friendly service! Not overly huge, so you get that cozy, quaint / charming atmosphere. So everything was good but nothing wow'd. I would recommend it though, especially for a charcuterie board craving and I'll be back to try others.

Huge fan of this place! Right as you walk in you'll be presented with a wine tasting. From there you're seated and presented with the daily specials. The food is phenomenal! You really can't go wrong it just depends on what you're in the mood for. The charcuterie is fabulous, the Jars are also a great choice! My personal favorite is the short rib which is served over cheesy noodles. For dessert I had the cheesecake which comes in a jar. It was delicious, but very soft, and more like a pudding in my opinion. The restaurant is very intimate and a great spot to enjoy wine and some snacks. Overall I would devotedly recommended.

Gorgeous styling space. We went for Sunday brunch. The food was great, though over salted. I had the poached eggs with hollandaise and burrata over toast. My husband had an egg sandwich. Both came with a tasty pretty little salad. The menu is pork-heavy but they subbed smoked salmon for pork in both dishes. Highly recommend!! This was So delicious with salmon! Wine prices are high but not out of character for St. Pete. It looses 1 star because it was very cold inside. We were hoping for a cozy warm spot on a cold day, but no luck.

Loved this cute wine bar/restaurant tucked into downtown St.Pete. They offered wine tasting options or tables to enjoy meal options or build your own charcuterie. The servers were amazing, they took their time explaining the menu and offered recommendations from wines to food. The wait time is amazing when ordering. They are very fast with their service. High recommend a visit!

Popped in for just a glass of wine with friends and ended up having a bottle and an AMAZING experience! The atmosphere is charming and artsy with incredible staff. Our server Roland was exceptional! Experienced, knowledgeable and personable. I will be back time and time again!

One of my favorite places - the food is AMAZING. They are always incredible to help with wine selections.

This place is great, good tapas, great wines and excellent service! Rolando is one of the best waiters we have ever had!

My wife said she was taking me out to dinner and she wasnt going to tell me where. She said head towards St Pete and when we got close she revealed where we were going. When I first was told I was thinking why are we going to a wine market to eat? I wasnt too excited. When we arrived we had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Its a small place about the size of a living room and Id guess mabe 20 tables. Its decorated nicely and they had some loungey techno music playing. The place was packed on a Friday night. We were greated by our server and my wife ordered a bottle of wine. I had one glass but then I ordered a beer. They carry several beers from 3 daughters brewery. We ordered the fire and ice ceviche, the italian charcuterie board, short rib, and paella. These dishes are tapas so they are meant to share. The first thing that came out was the ceviche. This dish is a spectacle when it comes out. They put liquid nitrogen in the bowl and it comes out smoking like crazy. Their food presentation is gorgeous. This ceviche was ice cold from the liauid nitrogen but also has a spicy kick when you eat it. The name fits. The tuna and other items in the ceviche were magnificent. They dont give you chips but they do add some giant corn nuts for the crunch. I never had it this way but Im sold! The next item to come out was the italian board. Ive never had an authentic high quality charcuterie board. This thing was deliciious! It had several high quality meats, warm toasted bread and cackers, three types of cheeses that were awesome, fig jam, olives, marinated artichoke hearts, and more. SO so so so good. And filling! We would have been fine with the ceviche and the board but we had more food coming. The short ribs come on top of a pile of Gnocchi. I enjoyed it very much but the wife didnt because it has mushrooms. The paella is a Brazilian style paella and it has all kinds of seafood and also has nuts. Its very similar to risoto. At the end of the meal my wife ordered a tres lechs to go. We ended up eating it the next day and it was very unique. I enjoyed it. Ths place isnt cheap but you get what you pay for here. Its definetly worth it. This is an ideal date night spot or even a girls night out spot. The food is top quality. The service is impeccable. The vibe and atmosphere is welcoming and trendy. What a great experience. Dont let the name "wine market" fool you. If youre on the fence about going here just GO! The only downside to the entire experience was that it was rather warm inside the dining room. I think they had some AC issues but Im sure they will take care if it.
