We have another Magical Dining review coming your way. I recently went to Vinia Wine & Kitchen for Magical Dining, and I will let you know if you should go there.
If you are going to Vinia for Magical Dining, it is in the $40 price range.
Drink
Sangue Angue Di Giuda is a sweet wine; if you don’t like wines that aren’t too sweet, this wine is good for you.
Now, let’s talk about the food.
Appetizers
Empanada Italian Sausage & Cheese Crema- The empanada had a little flavoring in it. An empanada and salad were a good combination for a meal. I’m just letting you know that they give you a small empanada.
Burrata Al Pesto Di Pomodori Secchi e Rucola: The sun-dried tomato pesto helped the burrata, and the crusty bread held a nice bite together.
Main Meal
Cioppino- Fisherman’s Stew & Crusty Bread. This dish is for seafood lovers. Although it is good, it lacks flavor.
Dessert
Pot de Creme—The chocolate is rich, and this dessert was good. However, it was too small. This dessert is suitable for all the chocolate lovers out there. It also had moments of salt added to enhance the dessert.
The squash dessert was unusual and might not be for you if you are not into specific flavors and textures.
Other foods that my coworkers had.
Pork Medallions with Spanish Wild Mushrooms Salsa—The pork was flavorful, thanks to that gravy. The crust was delicious. The potatoes were pretty as presented, but the taste was unremarkable. I’m not a fan of arugula, but the vinegarette it was dressed with was lovely. Another coworker said the gravy was delicious with the pork medallions and scoop of mashed potatoes. He wishes he could buy a jar of the sauce.
The Brazilian cheese bites were delicious. We could have eaten a lot more of those.
Cons:
1. Small portions of all meals. If you need to eat more food to fill you up, this isn’t the restaurant for you.
2. Change menu three times a year. This isn’t good for anyone who likes places where they always know what a restaurant has.
3. Not all their food has a lot of flavor.
Pros:
1. There is live music every Thursday.
2. Don’t feel heavy after eating their meals
3. Every meal is homemade, and it tastes like it.
4. Change menu three times a year. This is a good restaurant for everyone who likes trying new food.
5. They rotate seven different musicians.
6. It’s a good place for people who can’t have gluten.
7. The wines that they have taste amazing.
Should you eat at Vinia?
Everyone should try it once and go for the drinks if they go again. Unfortunately, the food I tried had little or no flavor.
