Tonino and Wine Bar - Murrieta

6:20 for 6:30 reservation. waited 5 minutes before the help in the written, asked if we wanted to wait outside cold, I told them that I had reserved the open table, never asked for names or even sought me in. waited near the bar, nowhere to sit, as the bar was filled with wine bottles. a Mon daughter came 10 minutes after us, group of 5 came 20 minutes after us, and they both sat before us! Everyone we saw was not even served so that after another 10 minutes we decided that this was not the place for us and went.

Excellent eating with even better service. the owners welcome them personally in the restraint and make them welcome.

Good food. Served fresh and hot along with thinly sliced garlic baguettes. Iced tea fresh brewed and delicious . Had a late lunch after a local garden tour and missed the Saturday afternoon lunch crowd. The Egyptian owner waited on us. He was engaging but not overly so. I would return if another opportunity presents itself.

Our server was over the top wonderful. I went with my girlfriends last week and took my husband today. He agreed...best Italian restaurant in Temecula/Murrieta area.

The food was good, very heavy on the garlic! Yes, I know it's Italian, and I've been to Italy, still a bit heavy on the garlic. We sat next to a woman who was very loud, so that tainted our experience. The music was great, and service was top notch.
