Review Summary

Wienstein & Gavino's is a popular downtown destination that draws many visitors for its lively atmosphere, generous portions of Italian cuisine, and varied menu featuring fresh pasta, pizza, and seafood. While many guests praise the exceptional service, high-quality dishes like the risotto and ravioli, and the cozy, rustic decor across multiple levels, experiences can be inconsistent. Some patrons have reported frustrations regarding noise levels, occasional issues with front-of-house reservation management, and mixed feedback on specific menu items like pizza crust or sauce seasoning. Nevertheless, the restaurant remains a favorite for group celebrations and family dinners, with many recurring visitors consistently highlighting the friendly and attentive staff who go out of their way to ensure a memorable visit.

I really enjoyed this restaurant more than I was expecting especially at being on Crescent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of our service & the food.
Not only were the servers super accommodating & kind every step of the way they served our group of 30 people with excellence. They were quick to serve us & make sure that we were comfortable, & they all seemed to actually enjoy their jobs, which is rare to see nowadays.
Our meals also came out really quickly, which was impressive again for such a large group. The quality of the food was great, everyone enjoyed their food & it was nice that even with such a large group, we were able to choose our own meals & drinks instead of having a set menu. The only small detail that I could think of was that some of the food was slightly under-seasoned, but that was a minor issue with salt & pepper being on the table tables.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you just want to have some decently authentic Italian food that's fairly affordable & good or if you want to plan a group event.

Mon fils de 16 ans était assis sur une chaise au bout de la table, une dame assise à une chaise derrière lui avait reculé sa chaise pour s'étendre les jambes, elle ne laissait aucun espace pour mon fils qui était écrasé contre notre table. Personne n'est intervenu & mon fils a dû changer de place. Le respect pour les jeunes ne semblait pas très important ce soir là.
Malgré tout notre serveur était tout de même très sympathique, s'excusait pour la situation que mon fils avait vécu.

Je n'y retournerai pas.

Great ambiance! Knowledgeable wait staff. Friendly Host/Hostess. Salmon was perfection. Appetizers were tasty. My vongole was bland. I won't be ordering this menu item again. The linguine was cooked to perfection. I'll give the chef credit for that, but the vongole sauce, meh! The drinks were excellent, especially the Red Sangria. We ordered a Pitcher.
