Amazing Italian Owners & Great Experience
My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. I found it to be one of the nicest places I've been to in San Francisco. The wine selection was great, and they offered very nice bites. The ambient was also very pleasant. What truly stood out were the 2 Italian owners, who are simply amazing people. I highly recommend this establishment.

A Special Neighborhood Gem
My experience at Binu Bonu was truly special. It has a lovely neighborhood feel, similar to La Ciccia. The restaurant boasts a huge selection of wine, all of which were new to me and something I really liked. The charcuterie-style small plates were wonderful, especially the out-of-this-world olives. The stars of the show are the husband and wife who make this magical place happen.

Best Decision: Wine & Hospitality!
My boyfriend and I came here on a whim, and it was the best decision. This is a husband and wife owned and run establishment. The owners were the sweetest and incredibly knowledgeable about wine. They generously offered us free tastings, free popcorn, and candied hazelnuts based on our wine selections. They also have a fantastic deal with 50% off featured wine bottles and 40% off non-featured wine bottles (to-go only). We experienced delicious wines and great hospitality. Go!

Legitimate Italian Wine Bar
My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The owner, Max, and his wife were incredibly welcoming and generous. It's a legitimate Italian wine bar, and you truly can’t do better in the neighborhood. The service and atmosphere were both top-notch, receiving a perfect 5/5, and the food was equally outstanding with a 5/5 rating.

Amazing Service and Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was amazing, and the couple who owns the place were incredibly nice and happy to explain the menu. I particularly enjoyed the great swordfish dish and the meat/cheese plate. I will definitely be coming back. It's wonderful to see places like this in West Portal.

Fantastic Italian Wines and Welcoming Hosts
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic all around. The wine list boasts a wonderful selection of Italian wines, with a smattering from other countries. I highly recommend taking a chance and asking for a recommendation; you'll undoubtedly find a new favorite. They offer a good selection of small plates, including meats, cheeses, and seafood, all at very fair prices. Best of all, Lorella and Massimo are the consummate hosts who make you feel like family (the ones you really like, that is) after your first visit. The space itself is warm and welcoming, and I loved the vines above the bar area.

Great Wines and Service, Worth a Visit
My experience at this cute wine bar was excellent. I enjoyed the excellent wines by the glass and the very good service. While I haven't tried the food, the complementary popcorn was a nice touch. The atmosphere was also great, contributing to a pleasant visit.

Although I didn't order any food, the dishes I saw being served looked excellent. The owners were super nice, contributing to a great local feel. The atmosphere is light and airy, offering good people-watching opportunities from the front window.

Charming Wine Bar with Delicious Small Plates
My experience at this wonderful, very small wine bar was extraordinary. The small plates and charcuterie plates were of top quality and absolutely yummy. I also loved the friendly husband and wife duo who provided excellent service.
