VINO SIMPATICO – Italian
Doors open at four and the regulars are already there. Vino Simpatico is a small, unfussy wine bar on Pasadena Avenue - a deep list, a bartender who will actually talk you through it, and enough seating variety that you can perch or settle in. The food is deliberately simple: flatbread pizzas, fontina, charcuterie boards built to be picked at over a second glass. Live music and movie nights fill the calendar, dogs are welcome, and the crowd skews loyal. Low-key, genuinely warm, and not trying to be anything else.
