Enotecca Bar and Wine Club

IT'S NO FLUKE. This update--from a subsequent visit--fully confirms that this place rocks. The food is incredible and the service outstanding. And. oh... that bruschetta... wow, is that ever good--the bread is incredible. And Irving--whom we were fortunate enough to have serve us once again--is a shining star that made the evening a smash, yet again. Read my other reviews and you'll know that I'm not an easy guy to please. This place hit it out of the park, yet again. Quality can be occasionally found. CONSISTENT quality is especially pleasing. And rare. Heck, on the way out I swear that I was thanked and told "good night" by every employee whom I passed. Boy, is this manager doing it right... with a team of polished pros who apparently really care what they're doing.

This place has the best happy hour food menu of any place I've seen in the desert. The portions, while on the smaller side, are large enough that my wife and I both left feeling full. If they ran the happy hour drink prices past 4:00, they'd get that coveted fifth star.

This is a very small bar attached to a very pricey restaurant. But the bar offers many of the same pasta dishes, in slightly smaller portions, for less than half the price. The drinks are served right. All day happy hour.

I suggest the bruschetta.

Enter by the front door (Mama Gina's) and head left. Get your name on the chalkboard. Enjoy.
