Urla Vino Locale

We were very excited to return to this restaurant, having dined here several years ago—before it was awarded its Michelin star. Naturally, our expectations for the tasting menu were high, and we are happy to say they were fully met, if not exceeded. From start to finish, dining here was a joy. It was a true pleasure to explore such diverse and surprising taste experiences throughout the evening. The service was absolutely top-class—attentive, professional, and exactly what one hopes for at this level of dining. In our opinion, this restaurant is not just worth a stop—it’s worth going out of your way for. We will definitely be back.

Excellent fine dining experience in the vineyards of Urla. The atmosphere when dining in the Mediterranean garden is cosy and romantic, tables are sufficiently spaced. Each of the 11 dishes of the tasting menu has its own character: some daring and creative, others signature classics. We were particularly positively surprised by the flavours and textures of the asparagus and pickle ice cream! The lemon parfait was absolutely delicious as expected. The staff were extremely friendly and supportive throughout the evening. We were a bit unlucky that most tables around us were smoking, which mildly affected the culinary experience for us- however, seperating smoking and non-smoking areas may be difficult given the limited space. While we understood from the reservation details that certain (formal) attire was required, this policy did not seem to be enforced upon the arrival of guests- perhaps better to either stick to the policy or adjust accordingly, so guests have clarity on this beforehand (it was 36 degrees Celsius during our visit, so shorts would not have been redundant). Overall, Vino Locale is an amazing, somewhat magical place to enjoy an outdoor fine dining experience in the Urla wine region. The atmosphere, hospitality, flavours are all carefully curated to facilitate your experience. Thank you and hope to visit again!

This restaurant is amazing. The menu was very good, the ambient very cozy and they pay a lot of attention to details that make the difference. They value a lot the local ingredients, every dish has a story about to tell! We had a great time, with local wine and special food.

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish, including the beautifully crafted amuse bouches. Once garden seating season begins, this becomes one of the very best places to be in Urla. A true standout in every sense.

Came here for a special dinner with my partner to explore Urla’s booming culinary and wine scene. Have to say the experience was excellent! The menu is on the smaller size but the dishes were both beautiful and tasty - expect layers of flavours inspired by local and foreign influences. Asked for a local natural wine to go with the meal - the recommendation was perfect. The service was impeccable. Very friendly yet knowledgeable. The owner couple came to greet the tables as well. The environment was laid back and relaxing. They deserve the star! Would love to come back again in the summer for different dishes.

Wonderful place, wonderful service, delicious meal, and hospitable owners - I don’t know what else to say. The place feels very homey, rustic, yet elegant. It could pass as Tuscany. They did a good job designing the space that gives comfort and privacy for the guests. The table layout were spacious and generous. The owner was this friendly couple who work inside and outside the kitchen. The service was top notch. It felt like everyone knows what they were doing. Our glasses were never dry and the dishes were presented meticulously and very pretty. The food - the best I had in this trip. I couldn’t be happier that we had dinner here!!! Every dish was delightful to eat and to look at. Then everything was perfectly portioned to satisfy the palate.

Vino Locale Urla offers a wonderful dining experience with a fantastic ambiance that’s perfect for a relaxed evening out. The service was impeccable—attentive and friendly, which really elevated the overall experience. However, the main dish options on the menu were quite limited, and the prices are on the higher side. That said, the quality of the food and the atmosphere make it a spot worth visiting, especially for a special occasion.

Very serene and welcoming restaurant with a good selection of regional wines and exceptionally tasteful food. Our culinary journey celebrated the region’s wines, showcasing the rich vegetation and vibrant produce of Urla. The dishes, inspired by the chef’s former residence in Thailand, artfully blended Asian flavors with local ingredients. We savored the interplay of sweet and sour, accented by a hint of heat, which brought a refreshing twist to traditional tastes. The true stars of the meal were the exceptional sauces and innovative techniques employed throughout the menu. With friendly and attentive service throughout, it is truly a unique dining experience that beautifully marries local charm with adventurous culinary creativity.
