Experience dining like never before in our unique restaurant, set in a former concrete wine storage tank. Unwind on our charming terrace, reminiscent of an Italian Piazza, with a refreshing craft cocktail or a glass of wine expertly selected by our sommelier. Our eclectic menu features locally-sourced, seasonal dishes, all prepared from scratch.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi. Conveniently located just off the Lodi wine trail in Lockeford, California, we are the perfect stop halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, 1/2 mile west off scenic Hwy 88.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of local ingredients and culinary innovation.

We noticed plenty of staff however the service was snail slow took over an hour for our food and it was just pasta. Our tea and wine took over 20 minutes from when we ordered it to get to our table. The waitress never came back around to ask if we needed anything or to refill drinks. The waitress had 2 dish rags hanging from the back of her jeans which looked very unpleasant. We have had similar experiences there but decided to try again and now we will not go back.

The food was delicious. We ordered ribeye, filet migon and rack of lamb. All were flavorful and tender. Our server was attentive and entertaining. It had been a long time since we had indulged in a steak dinner so we were very happy not to have been disappointed.

Tucked away in the picturesque town of Lockeford lies a culinary treasure - a small, yet extraordinary restaurant that will leave you in awe. As you enter, you'll be greeted by the sights and aromas of the open kitchen, where chefs work their magic. But the true pièce de résistance is the menu, an expertly crafted array of fresh farm-to-fork dishes, each showcasing the finest locally sourced ingredients and bursting with flavor.

This was our first visit to The Gypsy Bistro and we will be back! We ate outside on a beautiful, summer eveining! The food was outstanding! Huge glass of wine, a much bigger pour than most places we've been to lately! Very quiet outside even after a large group arrived and also were seated on the patio. Our only negative comments would be that a few minutes after we sat down, we were attacked by ants! No one was around so we just moved ourselves to another table. A server commented that he had seen the ant trail but obviously hadn't done anything to get rid of it prior to us sitting down, nor did he do anything after we mentioned it! The other comment we have is that the outside chairs were very uncomfortable...I'm not a very big person and I felt like I needed a booster seat or pillow to be able to reach the table! We can't wait to go back!
