    Super cozy atmosphere and a great selection of wines and cheeses. The charcuterie options were all amazing and they helped find a wine that worked for me, and were chill about samples. The entrees are also fantastic. Edit for new location: We really did enjoy the new location & menu. It's a bit more trimmed up selection of food and they keep things a little more on guide rails. It's many of the same offerings with a few alterations. I will say my biggest gripe is the prices do seem significantly higher for similar portions as the old location which is unfortunate. Overall it's much of the same magic but with a higher price tag. Still worth checking out but I do hope they adjust their pricing down the road.

    Fantastic experience, worth the wait. We came in on a Friday for date night, it was around 7 PM so of course there was a wait, we were 8th in line and were sat close to 8 PM. We had heard such great things so we were very excited to be there. We selected s few plates, the dates, the ahi tuna, the paella, short rib, and the ricotta jar. Everything was very tasty but I would strongly recommend to try the dates and the paella, for sure! We also had a few different wines, I mean it is called a wine market, and none disappointed. The staff was very friendly and suggested wines that were absolutely enjoyable. All in we got a $140 tab, ad that's with 6 glasses of wine, fantastic value! Considering this was a 45 minute drive for us, we'd do it again, no doubt.

    Met up with a couple of friends here in 4/16/22. Initially it was just two people, but two more friends joined a little late, but the hostess was graciously accommodating. We got a charcuterie board and a few small plates. The board with the cheeses, jams and bread was absolutely delicious! And small plates were also very good. The wine selection is vast. Can’t recall what exactly we got but it was very good. Overall a great experience and would definitely be returning soon! Update: came back on St pete pride 20222, And OMG I’m fully content. Everything we got were sooo good.

    Had the special with this wine could eat that all day long and the wine was delicious too. Dillon was my server very nice. So now I've been there a few alright alot of times. Sunny has been my server and a young lady whom I'm sorry don't recall your name. The main chef I spoke to shared that he had gotten another position somewhere else because maybe move of location of restaurant. But wouldn't share where because of loyalty. Fabulous because the genre would probably be different. But I hope they keep alot of the regular menu... they can't go wrong also they push and promotion they are a wine market. And try and make you sit and wait in a wine section before you go and eat. I got it the money is probably made on wine sales. BUT I hope they realize they are a top notch restaurant as well. Can't afford the per bottle price. Can not go wrong going here!

    A great Sunday find, 1/2 off your second open bottle glass of wine. Interesting tapas, had the cauliflower, dates and mushroom pate. 2 sides to the restaurant & wine shop. Outside rocking chairs to enjoy a glass on a good weather day.

    Wow! So impressed by my experience here! The presentation of every dish was spectacular, and the flavors were delicious to match! We started with the fire and ice ceviche, aptly named with a dry ice presentation and wonderfully refreshing citrusy flavors, with a little heat from the jalapeños and aji amarillo. Next up was the burrata, with sweet peaches, umami miso vinaigrette, and creamy frozen coconut milk. I recommend getting bread to soak up all the flavorful toppings! The carrots and watermelon dish had a great variety of flavors and textures and colors, with a hibiscus foam, creamy citrus yogurt, and crunchy spicy salsa macha. The eggplant dish was also a great combo of sweet and savory, with whipped goat cheese and pineapple date chutney. Finally, the tres leches dessert was creamy and not overly sweet, and presented in a half coconut! Our server was welcoming and helpful, and despite being such a small place the ambiance was nice and inviting. Can't wait to return!

    Incredible experience celebrating my wife’s birthday with friends. Professional and courteous staff ensured the experience was memorable for all. Food was absolutely amazing … recommendations from our waiter were spot on. Baked Brie, Korean short ribs, paella, and scallops tapas were ridiculously good. The charcuterie boards (Spanish and French) were amazing. As for the wine … let’s just say our group left several empty bottles. Phenomenal selection and quality! If you are looking for the perfect mix of ambiance, fine dining, and extraordinary wine selection then look no further!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about the new location of Lolita! This was actually my first experience ever attending. Lolita, both at this location and the prior, but I am so glad that I finally went. We sat outside and while it was hot and humid, the vibe and the atmosphere was incredible. There were sting lights, and the service was really equally great outside as I imagined, as it would be inside. Our server, Roland was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable both with the menu and wine. He was so pleasant and extremely hard working! The charcuterie was also to die for. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

  • 5/5 Melina O. 8 months ago on Google
    10 out of 10 would recommend. Beyond the ambiance, hand curated charcuterie and cheese boards, and one of a kind wine selection, the energy from the staff and ownership just leave you wanting to come back for more. Always love to see and support a locally owned business but even more so when community and culture are at the heart of the vision. Definitely will be back WITH a reservation to enjoy the full dining experience Lolita’s has to offer.

    My friends treated me for my birthday. We shared the Lola board. It was so good that we ordered a few of the cheeses to go. We also had the eggplant with tamarind sauce and beef with gnochi and gorgonzola sauce. We shared 2 bottles of this wine served perfectly chilled. I can't begin to explain how perfect the service was. We laughed and ate the most delicious food; it was the best thing I could imagine for my birthday.

    All around 5 stars! We have been going to Lolita's for years now and just experienced their new location at Morean Clay Center. A historic train station turned into a clay studio and art center. We LOVED eating outdoors in their new space. It will definitely be great during the fall, winter, and spring, but summer will be difficult. They do offer inside seating but it is a smaller space over all. Hopefully they will be able to expand into part of the station. They were forced to move from their old location as it's being torn down for a new apartment complex. While the location has changed, their food and wine remain superb! The food is ALWAYS excellent! We have never had anything bad at Lolita's. Their tres leches was served in a coconut with conunte meat still intact. That was fun to see placed in front of us. Parking should not be a problem, unless the clay center is having an event. They have brunch on Sundays 10:30am - 1:30pm head to their website to make reservations. Their staff is always on point, but last night I really enjoyed listening to Roland with his guests. I could tell he is super passionate about food and enjoys sharing what Lolita's has to offer it's guest. I will be asking for him as a server on our next visit. Our dishes: Charcutier board: Black Pepper Salami, Rosemary Ham, Palacuos Chorizo, honey with honey comb, truffled goat cheese peppadews (one of my favorites), Cabernet berry jam, via arra bread+crackers, manchego, and two other cheeses.. I can't remember the names. Cold Plate: Truffle Focaccia - black truffle mushroom ricotta, grana padano, truffle honey, mad n salt, baby arugula. Hot Plates: Scallops - ancho-espresso spiced, butternut squash ravioli, apple-jicama slaw, sage mojo. Beef Short Ribs - gorgonzola-cracjed pepper gnocchi fondue, tempranillo demi, wild mushroom gremolata, crispy shallots Dessert: Tres Leches Cake - sponge cake, 3 milks, pineapple compote, toasted coconut, meringue, served in a coconut They have an extensive wine list online. There is a QR Code on the table that will take you to their wine menu. Don't forget to leave them a review here on Yelp and on Google Business! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have over the years.

    Great experience with waitress Stacy. The food was 10/10 and all recommended by her. We started out with the French board followed by the truffle focaccia, heirloom carrots, and braised short rib. Everything was FANTASTIC and she made our experience just that more special!

    Girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience going here for dinner in early April 2023. Initially went to just have a glass of wine and have some cheese because I read about it online, but the menu looked so good we ended up doing a whole spread. They start you off by giving you free tastings of wine so you can identify which wine you want to have at your table, which I thought was a nice touch. I had a fantastic white and red, the red being a Boneshaker Cabernet I believe. What really took us back was the quality of service and the portions of the food. Our waiter Ben was SUPER attentive throughout and made the whole experience memorable, giving us a lot of tips as tourists of places to go and things to do. The portions of the food were in my opinion immense for this kind of place, we got an Italian cheeseboard and added a jar of spicy pimento spread and an additional cheese/pate. Between my girlfriend and I, normally big eaters, we couldn't finish the whole thing which was a lousy $40 or so all included. Tons of meats, cheese, really delicious fresh toasted ciabatta bread, spreads, the whole nine yards. Whole meal with multiple glasses of wine was under $100, felt like kind of a steal. Small and cozy, dimly lit venue, felt trendy. Definitely a "hidden gem" kind of establishment, highly recommend.

    Such an absolutely wonderful wine and dining experience. The food was fresh and full of flavor. The wine pairing was on point - they knew me better than I knew myself! Pros: Great food Great wine Great atmosphere Cons: Not enough room in my stomach for all the great food !

  • 5/5 Natalie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! The staff was extremely welcoming and Lindsay recommended a bottle of white wine for us which we loved. We then were seated and enjoyed the ricotta jar, French board and gambas al vino. We will absolutely be back.

  • 5/5 Jennifer W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome! There's a little bar right when you walk in where you'll be asked what kind of wine you like and you'll get tastes of various wines until you like one. The food is so good! We had the whipped ricotta and the Italian board. Highly recommend both. Dylan was our server and he was both hilarious and attentive.

    Like omg... been going here for a few years... not so sure about the new seating thingy but the food made it all better. Love love this place. Eat my children. Just order it all and enjoy. Let me drop my wine glass..😘

  • 5/5 Kelley H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is incredible and worth all off the hype. We did the build your own charcuterie board and had some small plates and everything was phenomenal. Our waiter had some great wine recommendations, as well!

    We used Lolita's catering services for our wedding day cocktail hour and it was amazing!! Lolita's was great to work with while planning out what we wanted and made great suggestions based on our budget/needs. We've been to Lolita's for dinner several times and loved it, so it felt like a no brainer to use them for a mega version of that at our wedding! So delicious and highly recommend going to Lolita's for dinner or your next catering needs! Thank you!

    Probably my favorite restaurant in St. Pete. Everything is delicious and I’ve tried a lot of the menu. Must try the ricotta jar and paprika almonds. Also love the new lentil jar! Take out is just as good and you get a discount on wine! They also are great at answering questions on their wines and can select wines for you based on your tastes. Restaurant has a fun and relaxed vibe. I hope they stay around forever!!

👍 Great ambiance and service! Drinks are delicious! Food is cooked to order, so expect to stay a while and food to take longer than what you may be used to. Flavors were a strong 7/10, just because I’ve more authentic flavors in other places. Overall a nice place to check out in St. Pete!
