Acquerello's wine page says the list is the work of its staff "over a period of more than 25 years" and that "our focus is Piemonte." The PDF linked from that page (file name Wine-List-100726) opens with a Wines by the Glass section before it gets to the long bottle pages. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The restaurant says it represents every region in Italy, with the focus on Piemonte and the Nebbiolo grape. The PDF also carries Champagne and California. Its "Our Suggestions" page includes Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2021 at 110, G.D. Vajra Langhe Freisa 'Kyè' 2018 at 110, Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2020 at 175, and California bottles such as Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs 2022 at 130. Further into the main list you will find Giacomo Conterno Riserva Cascina Francia 'Monfortino' 2006 at 2325 and Salon Blanc de Blancs 'Le Mesnil' 2012 at 2995. Bottle prices appear as plain numbers with no dollar sign or unit label. Corkage is stated as $100 per 750 ml. bottle, with a limit of two bottles per party.
The first page of the PDF is headed "Wines by the Glass," with plain-number prices. Sparkling runs from Andreola Dirupo Extra Dry 'Nazzareno Pola' 2024 at 29 to Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition at 95. Whites start with Tasca d'Almerita Grillo 'Mozia' 2024 at 23 and Tiberio Pecorino 2023 at 25, and top out at Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco 2024 at 39. Reds start with Luciano Arduini Valpolicella Ripasso 2023 at 24 and include Diego Conterno Barolo 2021 at 33, Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2020 at 45, and Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Perno 2014 at 95. The glass list is only as current as the PDF, so confirm what is open tonight.
Monday — Half-price wine night every Monday — one of the best reasons to eat out on a Monday in San Francisco. Same serious list, half the bottle price.
The Bottom Line
Acquerello's list is built for Piemonte drinkers, and the glass page lets you taste that focus without committing to a bottle. Order the Diego Conterno Barolo at 33 or the Kante Vitovska at 29 by the glass, then turn to the Our Suggestions page, such as the Produttori del Barbaresco 2021 at 110, if you want a bottle. Confirm the current list and prices when you book; this unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
West Portal · San Francisco · Italian wine bar and small plates
A wine-bar list built around Italian bottles, with prices from $41 to $600 on the Wine List page. Start with the Firmino Miotti Breganze Cabernet 2015 at $18/64 from the glass section, or take the Raina Le Campette Montefalco Rosso 2020 at $42 if you want a bottle, and confirm prices since neither page is dated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Fillmore · San Francisco · Indian, Regional
A South Indian dinner menu with two wine PDFs behind it: 17 pours on the glass PDF from 15 to 32, then a bottle PDF that starts with grower Champagne. Start with the chilled Florèz God's Own at 15 or the Aldo Viola Moretto at 17, and confirm both lists, since the PDFs are undated and the website Wines tab names some different producers. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Hayes Valley · San Francisco · Wine bar with California/Italian-leaning small plates
A wine-bar list that ranges from Lebanese sparkling and orange wine to Jura bottles and sherry by the 3 or 4 oz. Start with the Pardusco 2024 chilled red at $14 / $56 or the Apátsági 2022 juhfark at $17, and confirm prices, since the page itself points you to the wine wall for more. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks and bottle lists, not service, storage or markups.
North Beach · San Francisco · Italian
A pizzeria wine list with real range: 24 wines under the Glasses heading, Italian reds sorted by region, and New World reds that include Napa and Paso Robles Cabernet. Start with the $10/$40 house Chianti Superiore, or try the $13/$52 Planeta Ceresuolo with a Margherita, and confirm vintages and prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Union Square · San Francisco · French
A 66-page list that starts with a 20-pour glass page and moves quickly into Burgundy, Rhône and Bordeaux bottles priced in the hundreds and thousands, so decide early whether you are drinking by the glass or committing to a bottle. Start with the $20 Chablis or the $23 Corsican red, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Potrero Hill · San Francisco · Italian
A list with two speeds: 29 glass pours from $13 to $45, and a bottle book that runs from $44 to $2,100. Start with the $13 Il Frappato or the $18 Vietti Perbacco Nebbiolo, then look at the Etna Rosso bottles (Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2023 is $82) if you want a bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.

Antonetas isn't a wine destination, and it isn't trying to be — it's a family-friendly neighborhood Italian with a wine list that covers the basics and stays out of the way. If you're after a solid glass of something red with your Lasagna in a no-fuss setting, you won't be disappointed. Just don't show up expecting to geek out over the list.

Crust is a solid neighborhood Italian spot where the wine list is a supporting player, not the headliner — and that's fine. Come for the rigatoni alla vodka and garlic knots; order a glass of whatever red they're pouring and don't overthink it. We'd send a friend here for dinner without hesitation, just not for the wine list alone.

Vespucci's isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and that honesty is refreshing. The one move that earns real respect here is the Monday half-price bottle deal, which turns an ordinary weeknight into a genuinely good value. Show up on a Monday, order the Eggplant Parmigiana, grab a bottle at half price, and you've had a solid dinner without thinking too hard about it.
