Essential Information

550 Grand Ave.
Oakland, CA

510-839-9124

Wine is the draw, what with 50 or so well-priced and eclectic selections from around the world—most available by the bottle, 6-ounce glass or 3-ounce taste, several offered in tasting flights and all helpfully described on the menu. But the rustic small plates, executed with contemporary California flair, elevate this comfy and welcoming wine bar to destination-restaurant status. Adjoining the popular family-oriented Zza’s Italian restaurant, the Enoteca caters to sophisticated palates with daily soups, simple salads, artisanal cheese plates, hand-crafted salumi, a range of thin-crust pizzas and such hearty fare as glazed lamb chops, eggplant Parmesan, lasagna and chicken crisped under a brick. From its weekday happy hours through its late-night dining options, this Lake Merritt–facing gem sparkles bright in Oakland’s burgeoning wine-bar scene. Small plates daily.
