Such a gracious host, Jorge was as we stumbled upon this place in pursuit of Villa di Como! A sense of Italy was there immediately! Loved our patio seating as we enjoyed a delicious chardonnay! Amore!

288 Lark Wine & Tap is s hidden gem. If you enjoy the experience of the European restaurant you will love the experience you have here. The flaming cheese wheel is not to be missed. Ali, a gracious and caring host caters to your needs. He can share his experience of traveling to Italy to perfect his craft. The seafood and pasta combinations are absolutely amazing. The main room has an incredible cozy feel and outdoor patio area is a fun place to eat. If you’re looking to go out to a nice romantic place that’s different for the main stream 288 Lark Wine & Tap is it! This is definitely a restaurant not to be missed.

The restaurant needs reservation, and the chef is very polite and kind to accept my late call. They played good music with decent lights to make the right phenomenon for a good dinner.

I had the pleasure to celebrate my 30th birthday @ 288 Lark Wine & Tap, the owner and his staff were super attentive in making the day extra special for us–before dinner we enjoyed high quality wine in the back patio which was super cozy and romantic! Inside the restaurant while you are eating delicious fresh pasta, you get to explore all of Italy’s beauty through the paintings on the walls. My husband and I will definitely come back for the pasta… the flaming cheese wheel was the best part of the meal, the chef/owner definitely knows how to put on an authentic show of fresh delicious pasta with the cheese melting away in your mouth–his love for Italy is admirable, he serves justice to Italian food! The food, ambiance, service, drinks, warm feel of Italy definitely has drawn me! We finished off the celebration by sipping on limonchella’s in the back patio. We can’t wait to come back with friends to enjoy more choices of Italian cuisine.
