After nearly eight years, I revisited Cafe Vino last night. Arriving early, I grabbed a seat at the bar and enjoyed a happy hour margarita—great service and an even better deal at just 8! Once my friends arrived, we checked in for our reservation and were seated at a cozy table by the window. The food and drinks were delicious, and the happy hour pricing made it even better. Our waitress was attentive, even stopping by just before 6 PM to see if we wanted to order another round before happy hour ended. Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and great food—I highly recommend it!

I recently attended a South American-themed wine tasting and food pairing at Cafe Vino, and it was a fantastic experience. The selection of South American wines was exceptional, with each pour thoughtfully paired with delicious dishes that highlighted the region’s flavors. The food, from ceviche to tenderloin with chimichurri, was perfectly prepared and complemented the wines beautifully. The knowledgeable staff made the experience both educational and enjoyable, and the intimate atmosphere was ideal for discovering new wines and flavors. If you love great wine and food, I highly recommend Cafe Vino’s wine tasting event!

The restaurant is lovely and cozy. I came just for dessert but the food and drinks being served looked incredible. The chocolate molten cake is perfect.

Fort Collins lies a culinary gem that embodies the essence of excellence: Cafe Vino. From the moment you step through its doors, you're greeted by an atmosphere that seamlessly blends intimacy with vibrancy, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Our journey at Cafe Vino was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks in large part to the impeccable service provided by Tayla, our gracious and knowledgeable waitress. From the moment she welcomed us with her warm smile, it was evident that we were in for a treat. Tayla's genuine warmth and expertise elevated our dining experience to new heights, guiding us through the menu with precision and charm. With each recommendation, Tayla demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the restaurant's offerings, from the perfectly cooked crab cakes to the rich and indulgent B-52 espresso coffee. Her attentive service ensured that our glasses were always full, and every need was met with efficiency and grace. But what truly set Tayla apart was her genuine passion for hospitality. She took the time to engage with us, sharing stories about the restaurant's history and creating a welcoming environment that made us feel like honored guests. In conclusion, our experience at Cafe Vino was nothing short of top-notch, thanks in large part to Tayla's exceptional service. Her dedication to her craft and her genuine warmth made our dining experience truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines impeccable service with exquisite culinary offerings, look no further than Cafe Vino, and be sure to ask for Tayla. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to Cafe Vino for about 10 years now. Each time I’m pleased to be served delicious food. This time, we received a free dessert for a birthday! The GM came by and was pleasant. Food was good and came out at the best times - right when we wanted it to. The Pork Osso Buco is consistently our favorite dish here. Cafe Vino is always a hit!

This place is amazing. The service - the ambience and the food. Happy hour specials and the best mushroom pizza I’ve had since Sicily. Shout out to Arianna - outstanding everything

Very accomodating to our group on a very busy night. The food was great and our waitress superb. We were put in a private room which suited our group very well from hard-of-hearing grandfather to a restless .3 year old

Helped my friends host their microwedding at Cafe Vino after having several folks recommend it as a great location. The staff and venue truly lived up to and exceeded our expectations. They were so caring, helpful, and thoughtful before, throughout, and after the event. The couple and all of the guests were so pleased with their experiences. The bacon wrapped dates were indeed delicious as was the food on the buffet.
