La Connessa's posted wine list opens with a Wines by the Glass page of 29 pours that runs from Kerner and Frappato at $13 up to a $45 glass of Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Behind it sits a long bottle list organized as Sparkling, Domestic White, Italian White, Orange & Rosé, Domestic Red, Italian Red, Reserve and International. The list is undated, so confirm current availability and prices.
Italian Red is split by grape and region, with Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barolo, Barbaresco, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Etna Rosso all listed. The Reserve pages go deeper into Piemonte and Toscana, with Barolo from Giacomo Conterno (Monfortino Riserva 2013 at $2,100, the highest price in the wine sections) and Sassicaia 2021 at $692. Orange gets its own section of seven wines, from Cirelli's Trebbiano at $56 to Gravner's 2016 Ribolla Gialla at $334. The restaurant says its sommeliers will open special bottles you bring, with a corkage fee of $40 per 750ml bottle. The lowest price on the wine pages is $34 for a half bottle of Vietti Moscato d'Asti; the lowest full bottle is $44 for Sommariva Il Rosa Brut.
Twenty-nine wines are poured by the glass, plus two dessert pours at $16. Sparkling runs $15 to $22; whites $13 to $26; rosé $13 to $16; reds $13 to $28. A Reserve tier adds three whites ($32 to $36) and three reds: Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2021 at $38, Casanuova delle Cerbaie Brunello 2016 at $36 and Ridge Estate Cabernet at $45. The page mixes Italian pours (Etna Nerello Mascalese, Alto Adige Pinot Noir, Rosso di Montalcino) with California ones (Red Car Pinot Noir, Cliff Lede Cabernet).
The Bottom Line
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.

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.
Presidio Heights · San Francisco · American
A very large list that runs from $15 glass pours to Madeira by the glass and a long run of Burgundy. Start with the $15 J. Rosch Riesling Kabinett or a $16 pour of Rare Wine Company Boston Bual, and confirm prices because the PDF is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine 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.
