So Good! Â Finally, some good Italian food out here in the Midwest. Â I'm from Boston and have been longing for a nice Italian place to remind me of home and this is the place. Â Good food, nice atmosphere. Â Pasta was absolutely delicious and ingredients you could tell were fresh. Â Desserts were made in-house too. Â Yum.
Review Source:This was our third visit in two months. Each time we anticipated a good evening and each time we came away disappointed. Tonight, the gentleman who greeted us really didn't greet...he seemed angry and said nothing as he led us to a table in the attractive but noisy bar. The wine list is reasonably priced...we ordered a bottle of Pinot noir for under $20. The lentil soup and dinner salad were good. But the rest of the meal was over cooked and under flavored. Part of the blame was mine. In the dark I read  the Vino special to be an 8 ounce tenderloin served on pasta. It turned out to be 8 ounces of tenderloin tips. The waitress should have caught my mistake when I ordered my steak medium rare. An earlier visit was disappointing because one member of our party didn't get served until the rest of us had finished eating. The other visit was marred by excessive volume on the music system which resulted in us being moved from table to table as we sought an area where we could carry on a conversation. There likely won't be a fourth disappointment. This is an attractive facility located in an interesting trackside building in the " historic"  Brookfield Road area of Brookfield. But something is missing.
Review Source:What a blessing! Â I just happened to be in Brookfield the other day visiting a long lost friend, and chose this divine delicatessen as our luncheon getaway. Â FABULOUS. Â I am extremely critical of food and restaurants, and have little if any negative comments to expulse against Vino Cappuccino Cafe.
A commendable wine list and selection for a small cafe, with at least one wine by the glass for most of the major styles. Â Even Gewurztraminer! :-P Â I do agree with some previous grievances that the check total can increase exponentially in a short period of time... My friend and I had a $50 lunch tab, but I regret none of it. Â (glass of wine, salad, two soups, and two entrees - relatively reasonable).
The service was fine, the food selection was appealing and interesting. Â I believe that the sign out front reads Pizzeria and something else, the pizza section composed one of the most extensive menu segments... so keep that in mind. Â They had a smattering of quality pastas, I had one as my entree. Â They readily modified the entrees for us, which was a hot treat.
Slip, scrabble, slide and squeal on into Vino Cappuccino and at least give it a first try. Â Chances are you will be back for more! Â I believe there is a heaping heavy hopping happy hour that drives flocks of patrons scurrying through the doors to soak up snacks and drinks... but I couldn't tell you what those specials may be if they are in existence.
I really like the layout of the place.
BRAVO!
Had one of the best hamburgers EVER at Vino Capp last week. Served on a toasted brioche bun, the burger was topped with fresh spinach, garlic aioli and onion strings. My burger was cooked to medium, just like I ordered. Served with a huge portion of piping hot fries, this was one delicious meal, that's for sure. Varied and extensive menu choices from sandwiches and wraps to pizza and pasta. Terrific-looking cakes on display that are almost works of art!
The cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also has a HUGE wine list and full bar that's open late. Terrific location near the Wilson Center in Brookfield makes it a great spot for catching a bite before or after a performance, concert or event.
The indoor space is huge and they also have a large outdoor patio for dining al fresco. You could throw one serious party at this place, no doubt about that.
I visited Vino Cappuccino when I was home over the holidays and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. Â The waitress was extremely rude and got our order wrong. Â When the food came out, the hot dish was cold and the salad had the dressing on it when it was asked to be placed on the side. Â Following the mistake, the waitress brought the food back into the kitchen and complained so loudly I was able to hear her on the other end of the restaurant. Â The wine pours were approximately 5oz for $8-9...in a HUGE glass...it looked ridiculous. Â At no point in time did the manager/owner come and apologize for the awful service. Â Also of note, a table very near to us waited 30 minutes plus for two chicken sandwiches. Â I do not plan to return and would advise others to avoid the location.
Review Source:This was on my "To Try" list for awhile...It's tucked way they heck out on Brookfield Road, not the most convenient location. But, it's been getting a lot of hype so I wanted to partake.
Stopped in on a Wednesday after work. Just happened to be Wine Night so they were running a wine sampling. I didn't go for it because it was about $15 for a tasting selection on three premium wines. I'll just put it out there right now, I'm no wine connoisseur so for me it was a tad pricey. The place was completely empty, I'm always creeped out by that. We did, however, get great service being the only one in the dining room!
They had half off appetizers as well so we went with wine off the list (solid list with good options at all price points) and split the Chicken Frites and goat cheese prosciutto wraps. The wraps were well done, goat cheese was fresh. The Frites were just so-so, nothing special in my opinion.
We then split a Goat Cheese, tomato, and black olive pizza. Thin crust was good, but a little soggy.
All in all, I'd be hesitant to come back and pay full price (Yes, I am cheap) for a meal after feeling less than impressed by the appetizers and pizza. I love the concept, and the space is adorable (It's right next to the train and the building has a train stationy feel), but the food is just okay.
I've heard about this place for some time and was excited to try it just based on the concept. Â A coffee shop by morning, cafe by day, and wine bar by night? Â Sign me up!
I'm happy to report that even with high hopes, this place exceeded my expectations. Â
I enjoyed the Prosciutto Wrapped Goat Cheese appetizer. Â It was fresh and flavorful. Â The aroma alone was mouth-watering.
I also had the seafood bisque which was very good as well. Â Protip: toss all the extra onion and tomato from the goat cheese in the soup!
My friend enjoyed the venison pasta which I sampled. Â It was extremely well made. Â Not gamy at all. Â Packed with flavor with the perfect amount of spice, it was more like a venison sausage.
I fell in love with the customer pizza I ordered. Â Garlic/White base, with caramelized onions, spinach, and mushrooms. Â The pizza was hot and fresh. Â It's a thin crust and you do have the option of doubling up on the crust if you'd like, but for what it's worth, single crust is the way to go.
The pizza was so good, but ended up being too large and I had to take half of it home with me. Â Tasted just as good the next morning.
The service was stellar and the building is great. Â Modern decor, with seating options from bar area, traditional dining rooms, or the outdoor patio.
Plus, you can't beat enjoying a well-made demitasse of espresso without having to head out to another place!
Lastly, the price was very reasonable. Â For the two entrees, two cups of soup, appetizer, two cups of espresso, and a glass of wine, our total came to only $60.
Great place for lunch or a casual date.
This is a placeholder review, please read:
I came here one night after calling ahead to make sure they were open. I got there more than a half hour before they said they were going to close, but I was informed they had shut their kitchen down already.
After leaving feedback on their website, a manager IMMEDIATELY called me, apologized for the mixup, and has taken a few additional steps that I feel completely forgive them for the mixup in the first place.
5 stars given for outstanding customer service, and I hope to leave a review after trying their food, also at five stars!
