Best Wineries in Ocean Beach

We had a really fun time at Wilma’s Carousel. The hostesses were very friendly and helpful. They made us feel so welcome! We got to sit at the carousel and it was really comfortable. The bar tenders were all very nice and helpful. The drinks were tasty. I tried both NA drinks and enjoyed both. The smashed Big Mac was absolutely delicious. Hubby had steak frites, but the steak was overcooked. It didn’t detract from a lovely evening. We will return and try some appetizers and dessert!

Isola is a fantastic spot in Little Italy! My party of four and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. We began with the burrata as an appetizer, which was rich and creamy. Our waiter, Alexandri, treated us exceptionally well, making us feel special and welcomed. The Tuscany wine we ordered was outstanding, as always. For the main course:    •   My friend ordered the gnocchi (potato-based pasta) and kindly shared a piece with us—it was delicious.    •   Another friend had the eggplant parmigiana, which he also shared, and it was incredibly flavorful.    •   My salmon, cooked in the wood oven with vegetables, was perfectly prepared and full of flavor.    •   My husband ordered the steak, and it was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. To finish, we had the chocolate budino with caramel and sea salt, and it was pure indulgence! Overall, Isola never disappoints—the food, service, and atmosphere make it a must-visit in Little Italy!

Excellent food but the music was a bit loud. Service outstanding

We haven’t been to San Diego for awhile, but lucked into a reservation on Valentines Day. I wondered if the restaurant could really be as good as all the glowing reviews. It was! Food and service were incredible. All four of us raved about our meals. The service was personal and the ambience was like a comfortable, cozy neighborhood restaurant. I only wish it was in our neighborhood rather than 800 miles away. But we won’t let the distance get in the way of returning. Thank you!

What a terrific concept these wine bars are; the service and food was exceptional; and of course, the wine flight was a nice walk through the vineyard. I will definitely be back when I visit San Diego again.
