I'm not sure about other people's experiences, but anytime I have come to il Vinaio I have had nothing but quality food and drink. Could the service use some work, sure. There is never a time the customer service doesn't need work. The food is a completely different story and I have never been disappointed by the food. Or wine. Ever.
There is a variety of foods that range from any of the appetizers to entree meals- it's all well done and good. The menu has items on it for everyone from the courageous to the not so brave diner. The chef had a watermelon gazpacho a while back and it was amazing! Same thing with the Antelope burger, Elf Fillet and Venison ( I think it was). Their twice baked potato is so flavorful too.
I will say that the parking kinda sucks and there has been construction for the lightrail going in there. And the area is kinda sketchy at night. But its worth a try.
