Chef Michele Bevilacqua is opening a new Italian-style wine bar and eatery in downtown Los Gatos. The concept will be called Vinovero, and it’s landing at 326 N Santa Cruz Avenue, near popular establishments like Los Gatos Cafe, Saison Winery Tasting Room, and Yokohama.
The Venetian chef tells What Now San Francisco that Vinovero will offer wine and small plates in a cozy setting, with seating for about 20 guests indoors and an additional 20 seats in the parklet.
The beverage selection will feature Italian, French, Spanish, and Californian wines, prioritizing labels by small producers. Bevilacqua emphasizes that Vinovero will offer something for everyone, from a quality glass of wine for $10 to high-end options. Local craft brews will also be available.
Food options will be predominately cold plates, as the space does not have a full kitchen, however, local fish will be offered depending on the season, and slow-cooked personal pizzas will also be on the menu.
Bevilacqua tells What Now San Francisco that he hopes Vinovero will be a cozy spot to have a glass of wine and a dessert, or a space to spend the evening for dinner. An opening date has not yet been announced.
