VINIA Wine & Kitchen

Very unique authentic Italian vegan food! The owners are husband and wife and the husband actually works there so the small intimate yet lively setting feels even more personable. The owner is from Italy, and he said he’s “plant-based 5 days a week and Italian the other two,” so he has a passion for his plant-based dishes. The vegan cheese board is so yummy that I ordered seconds of the blue cheese imitation cheese topped with apricot jam! The vegan escargot wasn’t my fave but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be someone else’s, since it was a flavorful and well-curated dish. Both the vegan beet ravioli topped with mango chutney appetizer and the vegan potato & ratatouille entree were filled with a medley of flavors I wouldn’t have the bold creativity to put together, yet they complemented each other well. I definitely recommend trying this place at least once! Lots of items with PB (plant-based) next to them so you won’t feel limited!

I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again: Vinia is the best restaurant in Winter Park. It’s not just the food - which is an inspired fusion of Italian, Brazilian, and other bohemian delights. And it’s not the fact that they have Alhambra and Cotes du Rhône on their beer and wine list. No, what makes this place truly magical are the people. It’s like the heart of Hannibal Square, offering a quaint atmosphere with just a few tables and a cozy bar, Bossanova music wafting around you as passersby traverse the cobblestoned streets beyond. When Fabio greets you, it’s like you’re family - and the entire staff puts the same level of love and care into every bite of this sensory experience. I would start with the signature marinated kalamata olives. It’s a small glass jar full, but each one will make your toes curl. The Brazilian cheese bread is to DIE for, and all the flatbreads are delectable. And the Burrata and pesto? You’ll pass out when each grain of sea salt crashes across your tongue. I almost always opt for the pasta oxtail entree, but the pork tenderloins melt in your mouth. The platings are magnificent, showcasing the chef’s whimsical charm through mouthwatering presentation. Save room for dessert! Fabio has some amazing treats, and the menu is often changing. One staple is the flight with wine pairings, which offers three unique bites. Oh, and you can’t miss the afogato and pot de creme - you pour espresso over ice cream and set your world on fire. Divine. Like I said, Vinia small, so I would recommend a reservation if you want a table. They also offer special seatings, so check the website. But we often aim for the bar and order a bold Supertuscan with a charcuterie - and let this quiet little gem calm the tempest outside. We’ve been patrons for years, and I wish I could keep this a secret. But it would be worse to not share Fabio’s talented hands and eyes with the world. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll thank me for it.

Vinia Wine & Kitchen is hands down the best and most creative fine dining spot for vegans in Central Florida. The dishes here are a true testament to the passion and expertise of Fabio, the owner, who goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has a memorable experience. The food is absolutely delicious, with each course thoughtfully crafted and paired with wines that elevate the flavors to new heights. Fabio’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence shine through in every aspect of the meal, from the innovative vegan dishes to the impeccable wine pairings. If you're looking for a top-tier dining experience that celebrates plant-based cuisine, Vinia Wine & Kitchen is an absolute must-visit!

We came for our first dinner as a married couple the day after our wedding. Teaya was so great and helped make the evening so special. Vinia is a special place with such unique and delicious menu items and many plant based options. We love coming here.

5 Stars – A Perfect Anniversary Experience at Vinia My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Vinia, and from start to finish, the entire experience was perfection. We were immediately impressed by the thoughtful wine and meal pairings listed on the menu—it added a beautiful touch of sophistication and helped us fully enjoy the culinary journey. I had the Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore, Zenato with my meal, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Later, I finished the evening with the Tawny Port, Martha’s alongside dessert, and it was the perfect cherry on top to an exquisite evening. The ambience was romantic and intimate—exactly what we hoped for—and we absolutely loved our seating arrangement. The musician performing that evening created the perfect backdrop without overpowering the moment. Vinia’s staff deserves a standing ovation: professional, friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and effortlessly classy. Their care and attention made us feel like honored guests.Now, let’s talk about the food: we literally wanted to lick the plates! And the cheesy bread? Out of this world! We’re still talking about it.We also appreciated the wine descriptions printed on the menu—they were helpful and engaging, adding an educational (yet fun) element to our evening. Vinia didn’t just give us a meal—it gave us a memorable, romantic experience that we'll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return!

I do not want to share how wonderful this little restaurant is because I may not have a seat next time! But I will because they deserve it! Spectacular service, atmosphere, wine choices and food. Wonderful plant based options. What a wonderful place! Don’t miss the desserts!

My wife and I had an amazing experience here. Love the small intimate atmosphere which matched perfectly with the service. Everything we had was excellent full of unique flavor and perfectly matched with accompaniments. Honestly we frequent many restaurants in the area and this was one of the best meals I have in a while. We started with the cheese bread and empanadas. Entrees were oxtail and fisherman’s soup. For dessert affogato and pot de crème. We also had a very nice Pinot at half price for happy hour. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. The owner came and spent time at our table and was so welcoming felt like I was in his home. He truly cares and we will return. Even got a hug when we left.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Easily one of the best (if not the best) restaurants we’ve been to in the Orlando/Winter Park area. You can feel their love of the food and wine and it made for a genuinely beautiful experience. The food was unique and outstanding. Each of the seven plates we sampled were perfectly seasoned and executed. It is so rare to find a place where every detail is cared about and attended to. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Go and enjoy the rarity of food made from the heart.

A must visit in Winter Park Florida. The food was delicious very fresh. Each dish was full of great flavors. There are vegan options and regular. Our daughter and son in law are vegan they enjoyed the food as much as we did. Service was impeccable, very friendly. The owner made every customer feel special. He spoke to every customer. You can call it service with a smile. All the girls were friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the place is small and cozy. Nice modern decor. We liked it. Nice bar area. If you are in Winter Park try this gastronomical paradise.

Loved the atmosphere, Fabio, and the food. Completely relaxing dinner. We started with the Italian Starter comprised of the best eggplant caponata, grilled marinated artichokes, and olives. We will double up on the caponata next time. Great texture and flavor with the surprise of candied nuts in it. We also shared the beet filled ravioli verde topped with a melon chutney, another unique winner. Our final dish was the potato and zucchini roulade, also crave-able. Fabio was fantastic in helping us make our selections. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit. This is also a great place to bring your vegan friends since they have a substantial selection of vegan dishes

We love Vinia and it's owners! It really is a hidden gem for dining in Winter Park that locals should know about!

Being Brazilian and appreciating both Brazilian and European cuisine, and also knowing that the owners were Brazilian and that the menu featured Brazilian, Italian, and Spanish dishes (and perhaps others, but these are the ones I remember), I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while and considering trying their Bite30 and Magical Dining menus. I ended up dining here on a regular menu on a random Friday night and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate, and the service is very attentive. For starters, we ordered the Brazilian cheese bread with guava sauce and the flatbread with pesto. Both were delicious, but the portions were quite small for the price. The "Rabo de Toro," braised oxtail, however, was what surprised me the most -- the meat was meltingly tender, and the slightly salty flavor was balanced out by the starchy gnocchi. Last but not least, the wine list is excellent, and if you're not well-versed in wine, ask the server for recommendations -- they'll offer the perfect pairing. My glass of Rioja paired beautifully with everything I ate.

First thing worth mentioning, and there are SO many great things worth mentioning, is that the owner, Fabio is awesome! I called last minute hoping I might be able to snag a reservation for six people. And Fabio went above and beyond to make it happen! It was SO nice. As if he isn't awesome enough, our server was also top notch. Shout out to C for taking such great care of us! Safe to say service is amazing, but what about the meal? Double amazing! The food was stellar. Beautiful presentation and flavor. There was a nice mix of classic and creative dishes on the menu. Our table enjoyed a variety with most of us opting for magical dining. The majority of us selected the braised oxtail with gnocchi and WOW! The only suggestion I can possible give to the restaurant is to please quadruple the portion ha! It was so divine I could have eaten it all day. Such pillowy soft gnocchi and tender meat make for a great combo! For dessert we had the chocolate pot de creme and the squash panacotta. Both were excellent and I absolutely love that squash made an appearance during dessert! Vinia is a quaint restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience. There was live music which wasn't overpowering our conversation. I will definitely plan a quick return. Thanks, Fabio and team!

Recently went with friends to check out Magical Dining and this Winter Park gem. We went on a Thursday so there was live music but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. I highly recommend making a reservation as it is a small and quaint little place. Our server helped with a wine recommendation. We started with a charcuterie board which would have been plenty for us. But we also split the Burrata, Brazilian cheese bread (personal fav) and eggplant flan. For mains, we split the cioppino, oxtail gnocchi and pork tenderloin. Everything was cooked to perfection and quite flavorful, not overpowering. The pork came with three medallions and topped with an amazing gravy (fav!) For dessert, we split a few of the pot de creme and affogato. Both were a light finishing touch to an overall great meal and night out with friends.

I had been eager to try this spot for ages and finally made it for Happy Hour and Magical Dining! We booked a table on the outdoor patio, but the restaurant was quite busy. Fortunately, we arrived early and managed to snag an indoor spot before the rush. The place is charming, nicely decorated, and feels spacious despite its small size. The staff was attentive, and the owner stopped by a few times to check on us, which was a nice touch. To start, we had a half-off Pinot Noir during Happy Hour, paired with burrata, pão de queijo, and an empanada. Both dishes were delicious and offered generous portions. For the main course, my partner had the Braised Oxtail with homemade gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic--though I wished there had been more of it. We finished the evening with a delightful affogato, though it disappeared far too quickly!

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time! It was a bit smaller than I thought but a very cute spot. We ended up sitting at the bar as most of the seats were reserved. Was awesome seeing the owner working at the restaurant, you could tell he really cares about the food and quality. We came on a Thursday night for dinner and they had live music. It set the vibe of the restaurant, we really enjoyed it. We ordered from the Bite 30 menu. I opted to get the wine pairing for each course as well. The Burrata w pesto was amazing. The purple pesto was so good and the bread was so fresh and crispy. My friend really liked the olives that the owner marinates himself. Next was the Shrimp Pasta, wow this was delicious. The perfect balance of creamy and lemony, loved the clams mixed in as well. The pasta itself was so good! The shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Lastly we ended with the Pot de creme dessert. This chocolate custard was so decadent and smooth. We loved the flaky sea salt on top as well. The dessert wine served with this was super good! We cannot wait to come back here and try the rest of the menu! Especially to come back and have some more of the Shrimp Pasta! If you haven't been here you need to, you are missing out! I highly recommend this place.

What a meal. My mom, stepdad, and I had dinner at VINIA last month when we were in Orlando to visit Universal Studios. I had picked it because my mom is vegan and I'm always on the lookout for a restaurant that is great for vegans and non-vegans. VINIA was amazing. We shared: the Plant-Based Fromages, the Plant-Based "Escargot" a la Bourguignonne, Zucchini & Yellow Squash Ratatouille, the Ravioli Fatti a Mano (special ravioli of the day), the Beet Wellington, and the Rabo de Toro de Temporada (24-hour braised oxtail over house-made gnocchi), and the petite cheesecake with decadent tangy cheese creme and red wine coulis. Everything was amazing (with the exception of the vegan cheese plate which we didn't love as much as everything else). Seriously, some of these dishes blew me away! I also enjoyed some wine from their great wine list. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it felt like entering a European bistro in Orlando! And the service was great - so welcoming and friendly and just lovely! A great meal overall. One I'd be happy to repeat!

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is always amazing and has great flavors and the customer service is always top-notch. My friend and I came here for Magical Dining. She opted for the vegan items, which she enjoyed a lot. I got the bread and dips, the cioppino, and the butternut squash panna cotta with cocoa sauce. I liked everything, but the bread and dips were my absolute favorite. The dips were flavorful and the bread was perfectly prepared. I would even come back just for the bread and dips and then get some wine on the side. The place is a bit small and is only open for dinner, but is great for a casual or intimate meal.

The owner is so genuine and social. He manages to chat with each and every customer! He seems to love what he does.The food is delectable yet healthy. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. It's a small venue and it's packed with people rather than spaced out so it feels like you're in a foreign country or maybe D.C. or NYC. The wine is perfect. Great date spot. Even if your date isn't a match, you can easily suck it up because the place is so lovely. Sorry I didn't take pics it just wasn't appropriate to take food pics at the time. You can't go wrong with VINIA if you appreciate Mediterranean cuisine.

First visit, enjoyed the Magical Dining menu! We were glad to have secured a reservation, as there is limited seating. Two tables outdoors, but not ideal for summer dining. Staff was attentive, and offered great recommendations. Enjoyed the Italian/ Brazilian fusion. The Pork Medallions were delicious, especially the sauce. Portions were sensible, left full, not stuffed, and no leftovers.

Amazing service, food and wine! I had the tasting with wine pairing and I can't say enough about the experience. We will be regulars from now on. You MUST go on a Thursday night with live music. Such a romantic & fun night!! Thank you Fabio for all of your recommendations. Perfection!!!

Vinia has some of the best food I've ever consumed! Their vegan dishes are truly delectable and I'm told their non vegan options are just as tasty! Walking into this space means you're greeted warmly by the owner, Fabio! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and truly you will enjoy your experience here!!

Great atmosphere. Great food. Fabio was a very gracious and attentive host. I highly recommend Vinia.

What an incredible time we had at Vinia the other night. The food was absolutely fantastic. Please see photos for more details. The service was accommodating, but not pushy. She was an absolute dream and answered any and all questions we had. The music made me feel like I was in Brazil and I absolutely loved it all I give this restaurant 5000 stars.

Very cool little wine bar and kitchen... Food is very good and will definitely be returning for more!

Tried this place on a date night and it graciously delivered! Met the owner, Fabio, and from the moment we sat down, we were welcomed as if we were home - he was so attentive and you could tell the passion he has for this place. Every bite was delicious; we asked for more bread because we couldn't let them take our plate without devouring every pesto cream and oil packed with so much flavor. The moscato and pinot grigio complemented our dinner very nicely. My fave was the vegan "escargot" which had no snails at all - the mushroom, squash, and plantain were just super tasty and just melts in your mouth. The star of the show was the oxtail over greens! I wanted another order! It was so juicy! Will definitely try over gnocchi next time. On Thursdays they have live music starting at 7pm. We will definitely come here again to try more things and tell our friends about our experience - we know they'll enjoy it too. It's a small cozy spot in Winter Park and I just think it's perfect. Who needs a big loud place where you can't have conversations with your company and the staff?

A great service with multiple follow ups.. the place small cozy place to spend time with friends or family. They have the personal touch., The rabo de toro was really good and the Brazilian bread with guava. HOWEVER, my empanada was cold inside, had a great presentation, great flavor but cold. Maybe it was just our order. Other tan that good please , good variability of wines and great service

Nestled anong the winter parkcentral area This place is warm and welcoming. I loved that the owners added a personal touch of themselves on the table with an introduction card. The service was attentive and came around the table to have a small conversation. The food we just had shareable appetizers, which is perfect to have conversations over with some wine. Everything was delicious and perfect portions. They do not have a full liquor license. Therefore, they offer wine and other non alcoholic drinks. I would like to come back to try the entrees.

Amazing food and friendly service. Great spot for a date night. Perfect spot to take someone who is vegan/vegetarian as they have great options for all.

I tried this quaint location in Winter Park during Magical Dining and I went back the week after it ended. The Ambiance is spectacular. It's a small restaurant and the ladies were very attentive and gave wonderful service. The owner.... Made it phenomenal! Very intimate setting. Now let's get to the food. I had the oxtail for Magical dining and let me say, first I'm Jamaican. So I know a good oxtail... two thumbs up. My friend is vegan and challenging to please, she was wow'd! Of course, as I did before, I will return!

Magical Dining includes select Orlando participating restaurants that provide a 3-course menu for $40/person. VINIA also has a 3-course wine pairing option to accompany each course for $18! First course options ordered: * Romeu & Julieta: Brazilian bread with guava sauce (a must!) * Burrata w/purple $ green pesto * carne con queso empanada (meat & cheese) Second course options ordered: * Braised oxtail au jus over creamy polenta * porcini mushroom over Casarecce pasta w/garlic confit almond cream sauce Dessert options (choose 2): * chocolate custard * caramel Affogato * tapioca & coconut pudding topped w/cinnamon rum caramel VINIA's chef is Italian born & Brazilian raised, which results in the perfect flavor combinations!

My parents came for dinner a week before I had the pleasure of visiting and they spoke so highly of the experience! Fabio was so charismatic and enthusiastic and they loved learning about the dishes and wines from him. I was able to join them this past Friday for dinner and I chose to do the Magical Dining menu - this way I was able to try an appetizer, entree and dessert - on top of what my parents ordered, of course. I also chose to do the wine pairing with my dinner and I am so glad that I did. Fabio did an excellent job with the pairings and I enjoyed every glass and every bite. The burrata was an awesome dish that we shared at the table and I was a huge fan of the beet pesto. I've never had anything like it and I could honestly eat a bowl of it, with or without bread... Overall I had a really great time and will definitely be back. I think I'd enjoy sitting at the bar with friends and having a handful of shareables/first courses and wine. The dinner experience was lovely but the service was a bit slow/not as attentive as I'd hope. But all in all, they took care of us and I had an amazing dinner. Cheers!

I didn't know about this restaurant since this place is far from where I live but thank goodness my friend wanted to try this place out because we had a lovely time. Went during the Christmas holiday time so the streets were decorated with lovely Christmas lights. The parking wasn't too bad on a weekday night and there is also a parking garage nearby. This is a small restaurant so I recommend reserving prior which is what my friends and I did. We all got the Brazilian cheese bread which were delicious! It was so good we got two orders. The white wine cream sauce was a lovely complement to the cheesy bread. We also tried out the vegan "escargot" which had an assortment of mushrooms, squash, plantain, figs, and beurre persille. It's great that they have a variety on their menu. The oxtail gnocchi was outstanding! Tender flavorful meat with their house made gnocchi was delicious. Highly recommend. I don't drink but my friend does so she got the course tasting menu (Vinia's favorites) and loved it. We also got to meet the owner who was friendly and told us the menu changes seasonally. So definitely keep an eye out on what's next! Would definitely recommend trying this place. Great food, service, and ambiance.

I'd been meaning to try this restaurant for months and was happy to hear they were participating in bite30 where you can get a 3-course meal for $33. It was an amazing dinner in a classy ambiance and service was great. My friend and I made a reservation for a Wednesday night and it was not too busy. The table was small and could only accommodate one of our courses at a time, but it made for an intimate feel. For the bite30 menu ($33), I got the vegan courses (empanada, zucchini and yellow squash pasta with tomato sauce, and ice cream+espresso+chocolate mousse). I also wanted to try their vegan cheese board ($13) and am glad I did because it was such an experience! Every dish was arranged beautifully and very delicious. We stayed for 2 hours and loved every minute of the visit. I hope to be back to try their plant based menu!

Came to Vinia for Magical Dining as a date night. I had been eyeing this restaurant since last year and finally made the time to check it out. We are grateful that we did. It is a smaller space and has a very intimate dimly lit setting. It took the staff a minute to greet us since it seems reservations are highly recommended. We were not aware of this but they nicely seated us anyway as it was later in the evening. For the first course we had the following Italian sausage empanada, the cheese plate, burrata, and the flatbread crema di zucca. All were tasty and gave us a chance to try something new and unique. Our main course was the raba del toro over gnocchi and pork medallions salad and mash potatoes. Both tasty but smaller portions which the waitress did advise before hand. Last we had the affogato and squash panna cotta. We had each course with hand picked wine parings which all elevated each meal. Overall I am very pleased we took the time to go to this local fine dining establishment. I look forward to our next visit.

Magical Dining at VINIA and the only 5 rating on Yelp that I could find. This holds our #1 spot of 8 (so far:)) in our Magical Dining round up. Why? The food is creative, insanely delicious and has an ever-changing menu - even ever so slightly. The atmosphere is hip and romantic. The wine list is extensive and unique. The co-owner, Fabio, is so involved with each table getting to know his customers and explaining his fabulous dishes. AND, the wine pairings are exceptional. IMO, this is the best restaurant in the Park Ave area. We had the cheese bread and beef empanada to start. These are two of our faves and a perfect portion. I saved 2 of the cheese breads to take home and they didn't make it....the guava sauce for the bread was a perfect compliment to the dish and the chimichurri for the empanadas was super fresh. Next up was upgraded Iberico dish and the cod fish shepherd's pie. We loved both of these. I'd like my meat less well done personally but it was still superb. The codfish - OMG! - wow, this was very rich that we could barely finish it. The table across from us got the oxtail and really liked it. The desserts were fun and we also enjoyed these. We got the chocolate and the gelato with espresso. We also did the wine pairings. Super impressed overall. Don't sleep on this place!!!

I love Vinia so much. The owner is such a cool dude, the wait staff is fantastic, and the food is super good. I 1000% recommend checking this place out if you haven't already. My boyfriend was being a total diva at the beginning of the meal (he's awk he didn't mean it) and they were way too funny and nice about it. All in all a super cute spot in a super cute area with outstanding food and service. We love it.

After dining at Vinia three times for the Fabio's Table experience, I can honestly say it's one of the best restaurants in Orlando and deserves a LOT more recognition than they get. If you look at all the pre-fixe menu experiences in Orlando (Kadence, Soseki, Camille, Kaya, Doshi, Susuru, etc.), Vinia is actually the most affordable at $85 per person and an extra $40pp for wine pairings (one for every dish plus a welcome drink). It's still a special occasion price tag, but worth it every time. I love that they offer a plant-based menu to fully accommodate those who are vegetarian/vegan. If you have any other dietary constraints, they're usually pretty open to it as well. For example, the dessert we had contained raspberries, which my dad doesn't eat. Fabio made him his own chocolate dessert that was equally fabulous! Noting that I did let him know prior to our dinner about it. Fabio's service and personalized attention makes the experience so special. He's warm, friendly, genuine, welcoming, thoughtful, passionate, smart, cultured, creative, talented...I could go on. In other words, he'll hug you at the end before you leave! My family and I are in awe of his wine pairing abilities. He truly cares and takes the time and effort to PERFECTLY pair each dish and every dish with a great wine, often from the same region of the ingredients he imports. It stands out to you while you're eating it, and he'll describe how and why he chose that wine specifically. I can't share this review without raving about the food. Every time I've been, my friends or family and I debate which dishes were our favorite and try to rank them. It's never consistent because we all agree that every dish is so good. I love how he comes up with a different themes for the menus each month or so. Those pictured were part of the Food, Wine & Cinema menu where he took a food-related scene from a movie and put his own modern twist on it. Prior to the dinner, they emailed over specific clips from the movies for us to watch, but in case we didn't watch them or had never seen the entire movies, he took the time to explain each one. The portions are also perfect! 10/10 Experience all around at Fabio's Table. Thank you, Fabio and Paula!

Incredibly overpriced. The space is a bit small too. Good for just a glass of wine on the way to dinner somewhere else on Park Ave.

If I could give this higher than 5 stars, I completely would! Let me start by saying, I wish I had been to VINIA earlier than I did. This place is impeccable! I was warmly greeted and attended to by Fabio (creative and owner) while dining here. From the moment I walked in, Fabio made sure I was comfortable. I ended up doing the tasting menu for $59 (3 course + wine pairing) and was thoroughly satisfied. I learned a lot from Fabio about his restaurant and vision for his Chef's Table and was highly impressed by the level of creativity and dedication towards his restaurant. Food: Empanada de maiz y calabácin: a creamy sweet corn and zucchini empanada served with a chili oil and chimichurri sauce. Pairing - white (unsure of what exactly) I loved this starter! It was nice and warm, and packed with flavor. Honestly, you could eat so many of these. Involtini di zucchini e melanzane al forno: zucchini rolls filled with vegan ricotta, roasted eggplant, and their fresh tomato passata. Pairing - Chianti As someone who is wary about any tomato sauce, I was totally in love with VINIA's. It was so delicious and paired so well with the zucchini rolls. The rolls were cooked to perfection as they melt in your mouth. Vegan or not, this is a dish to be enjoyed by all. Pot de Creme: rich chocolate custard topped with sea salt and creme chantilly. Again, delicious!! Pairing - Port Wine The sea salt gives a lovely crunch and compliments the chocolate so well. Overall, 10/10 experience. Fabio is such a pleasure to interact with and his passion shines through everything here. I cannot wait to come back again.

A first time experience cannot be redone. There is no do-over needed. AMAZING experience, food and wine pairings, and the atmosphere. Me and my wife had a 7:30pm reservation on 2/9. We had a table ready near the window which was perfect to not only view the restaurant but also the area itself. Food Portions were perfect and the flavor in every dish was perfectly paired with the wine. Staff and owner were pleasant and informative. We shall return!!

Man this place rocks! Tapas style place and everything, I mean everything we ordered (and we were a big party) was tasty, delectable, aesthetically pleasing, and just sexy...Yes I'm talking about their food plates. Only one problem, I was so absorbed in the dining experience that I only took a couple of pics - so you'll need to take my word for it. Oh! And their wine selection was primo. Another Orlando City Beautiful hidden gem!! We'll played Vinia, we'll played...

I like this place. It is a great place to go on a date. It is small, but the staff is super friendly. The food is fantastic! I've had most their vegan items. I love that the vegan options are well labeled!

I came here to celebrate my birthday with some friends and had an amazing experience. Lauren was our server and did a phenomenal job along with the other super friendly staff. I had the Rabo de toro de temporada with the house made gnocchi and the recommended Bordeaux Beau-Rivage which was delicious. For desert I had affogato with the Sangue di Guida and I'm still thinking about that dessert days after the fact . The restaurant ambiance was captivating with very comfortable lighting. Definitely would recommend everyone check out Vinia.

Vinia is a unique place to have a good time and good food. Fabio really loves what he does and creates a really amazing dining experience. We would like to try the entire menu! Everything we got was delicious. I had time to take only 2 pictures, the other plates we got so excited to try I could not take the pictures. :) If you are looking for a cozy place, with high quality food, so this is your place. Thank you Fabio!

I could eat The Bite 30 ratatouille appetizer every day!!! So delicious and the owner wears the delivery as a heart on his sleeve. I truly enjoyed it

What a fantastic restaurant! Fabio is a great host and the food was so good! So many great vegan options that were clever, creative, and absolutely delicious!

What an AMAZING experience and dinner! We were lucky enough to talk with Fabio and ask for recommendations for food and wine pairings and every one was perfect. He puts such a personal touch on your visit. We felt like royalty! We tried octopus for the first time and it was so tender and delicious and paired with the perfect wine. The burrata was such a beautiful plate, with unbelievable pestos to dip in. The bread was warm and seasoned. Wow, just wow. Our other meals were sooooo good! The Escondidinho de Bacalhau com Legumes, was similar to a fish Shepard's Pie and I could eat it every night. Desserts were mouth watering! You pour carmel espresso on top of Vanilla gelato when you order the VINIA Caramel Affogato! And YOU HAVE TO ORDER IT! If I could give this experience at Vinia, 10/5 stars, I would. Thank you Fabio, for an unforgettable experience.

We went on Tuesday because the menu had a complete vegan meal option and also my sister and brother-in-law, who want the not plant based options. Vinia did not disappoint, the food was excellent and delicious. The service was wonderful. We will be back for sure. My bottom hurt from the hard chairs is the only negative comment I have. Please get some chair pads to soften the seats. LOL

Not sure where to start because this experience was everything! Went here last week to celebrate my anniversary with my husband! Wanted to try the Bite 30 menu, since it is the only featured restaurant in Orlando with all vegan options! And let me tell you, everything was absolutely delicious and the experience as a whole was phenomenal. It is located in the cutest area of Winter Park! It's very small, which is great when you want that intimate feel to your dinner! They also had a live jazz band the night we went there! Awesome touch! Nicely lit to boot! We were actually greeted by one of the owners, Fabio, as soon as we walked in. We immediately saw him wiping down tables and checking on everyone in the restaurant. He did this the whole entire night, asked us how each dish was to our liking, and told us little personal stories about each dish, himself and his family! I jokingly said to my husband, "how nice of him to invite us into his home for dinner tonight!" - because that is genuinely how we felt! Will absolutely go back again soon, and recommend others do the same!

My wife and I ate here as a romantic date night. And it was wonderful! The owner came by and checked on us multiple times. The waitress was friendly, helpful and despite being busy, never made us feel rushed. The food was amazing! The atmosphere was romantic and intimate. There were romantic couples dining together and also friends chatting over wine. We had the vegan cheese board which was phenomenal and the goat cheese, which normally I can't stand was delicious! My oxtail and gnocchi was delicious and my wife had this vegetarian meal which she said was amazing! I tried a little and I wouldn't have known it was vegetarian. It was delicious as well. We liked everything there. And dessert...we loved my salty caramel chocolate dessert. I can't remember the exact name but my wife ended up eating a lot of it bc she loved it so much. And it was so rich, I was satisfied with just a few bites. The ambiance, the staff, everything was perfect! Parking is near by in free 2 hrs parking lot; I'd just get there early bc this place gets busy for a reason!

What a fantastic experience. Vinia is a small restaurant with a big heart. We were seated by the window in a cute curved booth by one of the owners. She told us about the menu and even introduced us to her adorable daughter. Being from Brazil, she recommended her family recipe of cheese bread with guava sauce. Delicious! Then Fabio, her husband came and asked if we had any questions about the menu. He explained he comes up with the ideas for the menu and his chefs create them. The cheese bread he paired for us with his favorite red. We opted for the Bite30 menu which includes one appetizer, one entree and one dessert. We paired them with wines chosen by Fabio for an additional $16. It was well worth it. It's been a long time since I've given a restaurant 5 stars so quickly. Actually they deserve 10! It was that good. Happy Hour offers $2 off wines. It would be fun to come for wines and apps alone! But you must try the full-service. They do it well. Fabio even caught us as we were leaving to give us hug, "like they do in Italy!"

Four of us had the Magical Dining Experience this past week and absolutely loved it. My brother-in-law has had a heavy surgical boot on his foot for several weeks now and gets around on a knee scooter. He can not get up a single step right now. My husband and I booked the reservation mainly because we are vegans, and Vinia is the only restaurant that has vegan options for all three courses of the Magical Dining, and they were very interesting and appealing to us. We needed to check on the accessibility of the place, and as it turned out, Fabio met us on the street in front as we pulled up and directed us to a parking lot around the back with a long ramp up to the back door of Vinia, which he held open for us to enter and got us situated at a table where the scooter could be nearby. Kudos, Fabio, for making us feel so special and welcome! Now to the food. My husband and I opted for the add-on of the vegan cheese selection, since cheese is our most-missed food since we became vegan five years ago. It was a very diverse group of cheeses with accompaniments, but probably not worth the $18 up-charge if you are not missing cheese as much as we are. The blue cheese was the favorite of both of us. My brother-in-law, the opposite of vegan, is a huge fan of oxtail, which was another choice on the Magic Dining menu. We all began our meals with the Empanadas, ours "Palmito y Calabaza & Seasonal Salad," and the meat guy "Carne Con Queso & Seasonal Salad." All were amply-sized and absolutely delicious. The salad was special, too, and had a wonderful light dressing. I had the 3-course vegan-friendly wine pairing, and my sister-in-law had the regular 3-course wine pairing. For our main courses, meat guy had the oxtail, served over the specialty "Rabo de Toro Gnocchi," which he loved. He said the gnocchi was "ethereal." Sister-in-law had "Escondidinho de Bacalhau com Legumes" a shepherd's pie made with cod served in its own ramekin. She loved her main as well. Husband and I had the "Pasta con Funghi Porcini et Erbe Aromatiche." Honestly, how one can get vegan pasta (imported from Italy) to be perfectly al dente, and a creamy sauce that tastes like real fettucine alfredo, is beyond me. Husband and I had the Caramel Affogato and Cuscuz de Tapioca Com Coco. You get to choose two from the menu! Sublime! Sister-in-law chose the Pot du Creme au Chocolate, but was sorry when we raved about ours, because it was just a regular good chocolate mousse. Fabio generously offered us an extra pour of port wine as we finished off our desserts. The wine pairings were delicious, quirky, and went well with the courses we selected. They were not the usual selections you would find in most restaurants. The only quibble we had with the whole experience was the hard metal chairs on which hubbie and I sat. Hubby has no padding in the back. Please Fabio, get some pillows for those chairs! Fabio is delightful and ushered us out the back door with hugs.

We finally made it to Vinia last night. Just the quiet respite we needed after our day of hurricane preparations. We chose the Magical dining menu ( $40- pre- fix menu, through Oct 2 nd) offering three choices in appetizers, main course , and desserts. I had salted cod "shepherd's pie" as my main choice, burrata with two pestos for starter and then chocolate pot du creme( yum) and Gelato with a caramel , expresso shot on top! Hubs had beef and cheese empanadas with salad, pasta con fungi. Ending with their tapioca and coconut pudding . Quiet, intimate, dark and delicious.

We ate here for magical dining. They had a very nice menu and the wine was really good. The atmosphere is lovely and they really wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our meal and experience. I can say yes to that!

This little hidden gem was the best thing to discover! The menu is so exquisite and well executed you need to close your eyes to savor every moment possible. I recommend 1000%'!

The atmosphere was very nice. Small and intimate. The appetizer was not the standard size of an appetizer. We got the cheese board and there were five cheeses but each was kind of small. The wine was good and the staff was attentive. The portion of the meal was also small but enough. I would go back. The food was fresh and I like small places. You're really paying for the location which is great and they did not try to rush us out at all which is appreciated from a smaller more intimate location. You will like it here.
