Adorable little Italian restaurant with fantastic food. We really enjoyed our dinner and would highly recommend this restaurant when looking for a delicious Italian meal. They are extremely expensive, our appetizer, entre and desert for two with drinks around 250.

Over 15 years ago I visited this Italian Restaurant with my late Mother. She was from Cantalupo Del Sannio, Italy. She even spoke to the owners back then. This Mothers Day our family went back to celebrate our 28th. Anniversary, Birthday, and of course Mothers Day with my children and new grand baby on the way. WOW on everything! The service was impeccable and the food 5 stars! Dining here tonight brought back special memories and I couldn’t ask for a better celebration with my family. I believe the owner of this lovely restaurant was the person who sang to our table...

This is our 3rd time visiting and the food was phenomenal! Also found what is now one of our favorite wines (picture attached). I highly recommend Violino to you for a nice romantic dinner. Also got the opportunity to meet the chef so that was an added bonus. He said if it's not on the menu, just request it and he will do what he can.

We finally made it to the best restaurant in Winchester, VA! So beautiful. Each plate is not only a piece of artwork, but it tastes equally amazing. The violinist played over the rainbow for us (Judy Garland was my grandma's favorite actress) and won my heart . The artwork that covered the walls was spectacular, making you feel as if you stepped right into Italy itself. The wine was absolutely delightful. Joe has been to Italy, and he said that it was the closest he's had to an Italian experience outside of Italy. The owners were so nice and they are from Italy too. Bonus points for the owner telling Joe to take me to Italy . God, I just love good people & good food. Their homemade pisachio Gelato is equal to the homemade Gelato that we had for our honeymoon on Marco Island. I could not ask for a better dinner experience. 5/5 stars

Probably the best restaurant I've been to in a very long time. A destination! Small, nicely laid out in three partially separated spaces. Nice wine selection, food is delicious and creative. Violinist plays classical tunes, chef comes out and sings a piece from an opera. Can't wait to get back.

Amazing! The food, atmosphere, ambiance and service was over the top amazing. The chef came out and seranated a table, there was a violin player who was incredible. The restaurant is very elegant and cozy, and reminiscent of old world dinning. Great time!

Such a little gem. My husband is in the military so we’ve lived all over the place in America, I can’t find Italian flavors like this anywhere else. It’s honestly sad because I crave it wherever I go. But we’re thankful we can come at least 1-2 a year while we visit family in the area.
