• Winery • Brentwood
It began with a love for wine –– doesn’t it always? Frequenting wine shops throughout California and the world, we learned a thing or two (and consumed our fair share of glasses). We learned which wines could coax out our dancing shoes on the weekend and which ones were the perfect wind-down to a busy schedule. We learned about grape varietals, flavor profiles, and that back-of-the-nose taste that precedes the perfect sip. So, what’d we do with this love of wine? We decided to open up a quality wine shop right in our neighborhood. When you’re here, you’re part of our community of wine lovers, experts, and novices in pursuit of the perfect pour. Brentwood Fine Wines is a place to gather, laugh, learn, and enjoy a glass-half-full point of view.

    We love this restaurant and have been going for years. We had not been for awhile and last night we went again. It was as good or better than ever. The food is very authentic Italian and the service is excellent in every respect. We sat on the outside patio which was heated perfectly with space heaters and it was very cozy.

    I've always like/loved Toscana. Tori the hostess was most cordial and nice. Oliver the waiter is excellent. I was pleased he remembered me. The chef was, how to say obnoxious. Iwanted a particular pizza-he refused to make it. Oliver reported that he was in a bad mood. I said, "thepolicy is the custoemr is always wroong"...absolutely stupid. We had a pizza with pepperoni instead. it was only ok. My beef carpaccioo was delicious. A new beer, called "Pax Rp,am wasde;icious. I had two. Myguest had the chopped salad. He loved it. Over-all a great experience. The restaurant was very noisy. Much noisier than usual. Therestaurant was very busy. Interesting for a Thursday lunch. Parkingattendant Jorge, remembered me. Always nice when that happens. It is close to hoome and consistently good. I"ll go back for a dinner soon.

    The lunch deal is an incredible value. Choice of three soups including a great hot and sour soup, two spring rolls, and half a Chinese Chicken Salad! They were accommodating about no wontons and extra crispy white noodles instead, and Chinese hot mustard and sesame oil on the side. Very good black iced tea too. Nice view from the comfortable booths.

    We moved into the area recently, and finally got to try this neighborhood gem. There are a few Rosti locations, most notably on Montana Avenue, but I like the vibe--and the food--better at this location. The menu is chock-full of typical choices done very well. Lots of delicious pastas, salads, mains (staples such as Chicken Piccata and Chicken Milanese), Panini, Known for their rosemary roasted potatoes, a great side with some roasted veggies added. The menu is large, which is sometimes a concern, but almost everything I've tried in my few visits so far has been excellent. Portions are large and nicely done, rustic, simple, no frills. Good bread and excellent soups. My husband had a very fresh and flavorful Minestrone and I enjoyed the Roasted Butternut Squash to bring in Fall. Best to go after traffic dies down, you'll find parking is easier, unless you can walk. Service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Recommended!
