Reviews for Bernardo Winery's Kitchen in San Diego, CA

Had an impressively unfortunate experience sharing dinner for four. The lasagna was burnt to a crisp on the bottom, to their... credit they redid that and removed it from our bill, and only burned a little bit of the second round. I ordered tortellini, itwas surprisingly small and yet I still had no desire to finish past a couple bites, nor box the leftovers. We tried agluten-free panini, of course gluten-free Italian is a challenge, but they could easily have done better than the sandy andmushy bread used. The waitress was kind but made two rounds of errors on our bill, and still ended up double billing me so nowI need to call them to resolve that. The wine was fine. We may have just come on a bad day, but we won't be going back. Iwould recommend going for wine and maybe a dessert if you are interested in enjoying the atmosphere. Make sure to bring extrawarm clothing at night, they may not have sufficient heating. Read more

A hidden jewel! Like travelling to a rustic place in Italy...Outstanding atmosphere & highly recommended, always.

9am Sunday breakfast. First ones there so seated right away. Flies everywhere with no sign of prevention. Coffee shop next... door made good coffee but waiter took way to long to provide a straw. Guava juice was awesome! Small breakfast menu. "FrenchToast" was crusty bread with pistachios (no traditional egg coating). Egg Scramble had spicy red sauce with what looked likerecycled french fries (wife didn't touch it). $55 breakfast for two. We won't be back. Read more

My wife and I came for lunch, and we had a nice, relaxing time. Panini and pizza were both very tasty, and atmosphere was... unbeatable. Read more

Had reservations, arrived on time and was met with a hostess to busy to seat us. After standing around for several minutes,... while the lady talked on the telephone, we were finally seated. Once seated, the hostess informed us that a waiter would beright over to serve us. We awkwardly sat there for nearly twenty five minutes while restaurant staff, including the hostess whoseated us, continuously walked by our table sans checking on us or bringing us something to drink. We immediately noticed thatcustomers who had arrived after us were being waited on and provided with something to drink. At that, we finally decided we hadhad enough, stood up and left the restaurant. They're plenty of other restaurants in RB who appreciate and respect theircustomers. I had to give at least one star in order to write this review, but in all actuality my true rating would be minusfive stars ????. And, I plan to make sure everyone I know knows how this particular restaurant treated us. Horrible experience,but the winery itself is fine. Read more

What a fabulous time we had here. We enjoyed walking around to all the shops open with their creative Christmas cheer. The... carolers were sweet to see all dressed up and singing some of my favorite songs. Great time! Read more
