San Antonio Winery

My first time at the Maddalena Restaurant. The history is so thick you can cut it with a knife!!! I give it high marks because they do a lot of things right. The food is good. The staff is friendly and fast. I had to wait a few more minutes while my wife had already gotten her food. One of the staffers noticed it and gave us two free beers for the inconvenience!!! Giorgio is one of the managers and he is the real deal!!! Ask for him and you get the red carpet treatment. I’m in the wine business and I can tell you the wines are terrific and prices are great.

Had a birthday celebration there and the food was amazing as well as the wine tasting. We had some people bail on us on the tasting and since it was paid already, the guy hosting us decided to make up for it by giving is more samples.(which he didn't need to do). Make sure to try and get Hector for the tasting. He is amazing. We didn't know much about wine in general but he was very patient and help explain it all. Now for the food, totally just right on the price. I've paid more for worse food. Way better than Olive Garden and it will not disappoint. My mom is picky with the restaurant she likes but she left the plate squeaky clean. She loved it. I posted two pictures below, one of how the menu is presented and one of my food. All in all, a great experience. Definitely going back

Excellent food, exceptional customer service. The $5 wine tasting was superb. Will definitely be coming back! One of downtown Los Angeles secret treasures.
