Vino Volo - Sacramento

I heard about the ham and gray cheese sandwich on rustic acidic and that's what I got.

Our experience was excellent. there was a long line at another bar in the same conversation. he tried the other bar, but the bartender just seemed challenged. left and found this jewel. many attentive staff. we ordered a beet and avocado salat and a margarita pizza. both good. big burrata on the pizza was cold, but I love not ruined. wein selection very good. we had a beautiful sauvignon blanc and an urban roots ipa. this place made definitiw the airport waiting more pleasant!

They lost my debit card. And then they laughed about it.I don’t know that I need to get into the terrible service- if you’re not right in front of the bar, you won’t get served unless you stand up at your table and wave for 10 minutes.But they lost my bank card. They used an old ratty check book with the card holder mostly ripped out, and dropped my bank card, when she got to my table she giggled and said “oh let me see if your card is still there, it felt like it fell out.” She then asked every patron across the entire restaurant if they had seen it. Oh and they still charged me, with the bank card they swiped and then lost.

Our first flight in more than two years. SMF was quiet as we entered Terminal A around 5:30pm in advance of our 7:30pm flight. To our surprise, all the bars and restaurants were closed we thought we'd grab a bite and drinks while waiting. The only opening was at Vino Volo. Lucky for us, things were quiet there as well and we quickly grabbed a table and order small bites and beverages beer and wine. Our server, Danielle, was the lone server at the bar and dining area. In short order, there was a line out the door and all the tables and bar were full. She never missed a beat taking orders and busing tables. Another staff person was in the kitchen brining out food and I'm sorry we didn't get his name. BUT Danielle was the star of the hour. Organized. Friendly. So impressed that we called and told the manager she deserves kudos for job well done. I wrote a story about Vino Volo when it first opened at SMF in 2007. I'm glad to see they've survived and are thriving. Hope all the other staff and locations are equally welcoming. Wine and beer and other non-alcoholic drinks available.

Every time my friend and I travel, we stop at Vino Volo. It's become a tradition for us! We make sure we arrive early so that we can have a glass of wine and a preboarding snack. We love this place!
