Introduction
Experience the bold and deliberate flavors of the Italian-influenced cuisine of Cioccolata Di Vino, a Restaurant and Wine Bar located in the historic Gourmet Ghetto of North Berkeley. We offer an interesting and tantalizing menu of desserts and savory small plates, complemented by our carefully selected wine list. Primarily focusing on Old World wines, we have a lovely variety of nearly 20 wines by the glass, as well as an extensive selection of dessert wines. Many of our wines are also offered by the taste or flight. A plate at Cioccolata Di Vino is a dining event, complete with delicious food, an intimate ambiance, and warm and friendly service.
Join us for delightful lunch options on Friday & Saturday or come in for happy hour Monday through Friday. Into the afternoon, join us for delicious Italian-inspired appetizers, house-made desserts and artisanal treats. As the sun sets, we invite neighborhood residents in to enjoy a glass of wine before their evening ends ' or begins!
Cioccolata Di Vino is not solely about the food. It's about ritual ' and what it means to relax with friends, savor delicious rustic Italian delights, enjoy an amazing dessert, chat over a glass of wine, and feel like part of a community.
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in San Francisco, over a cup of hot chocolate and a luscious brownie, while in the company of my dearest friend, Cioccolata Di Vino was born. The concept grew out of simply sharing such a delicious dessert with a friend in a casual environment and realizing how much richer the experience would be if we could enjoy it with a glass of wine in a warmer setting.
The next day, I hit the book store and started to research my business and all that it would encompass. The following three years consisted of concentrating my experience in restaurant management, spending countless hours reading book after book about chocolate, wine, food, and the restaurant industry in general, and spending an excessive amount of time in the kitchen. This was all backed by both an early and a prolonged exposure to the restaurant industry and an early start in the kitchen.
Growing up at the heels of my cousin in her Italian restaurants, one of my earliest memories is of waltzing behind the bar to make my Italian soda, to the surprise of the new bartender, and politely telling her that I would make the cremosa myself, the way I always did. If I couple that with the comfort and entertainment I found in the kitchen from the time I was given my first cookbook at the age of seven, and the fact that my first job at 14 consisted of a four-year stint baking pastries and making mile-high sandwiches, it's not a surprise that I ended up in the restaurant business. It's just a surprise that it took so long.
With the unrelenting support of my business and life partner, Cioccolata Di Vino opened its doors in January 2009. We pieced our way through the build-out process and are making our way through this lovely economic time. Cioccolata Di Vino is a labor of love and we have put our hearts and souls into every detail of its creation. We set out to create a warm environment that will foster social interaction and communication among friends, loved ones, and neighbors over delicious food and wonderful wine. We hope that our vision enables you to enjoy your time in our cafe as much as we enjoy its continued creation.
