Wingman Metrics
Mezza Luna has the energy of a neighborhood Italian joint that knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. The wine list, from what we can gather, leans into the same unpretentious spirit — Italian-focused, approachable, and sized to match the room rather than impress a critic.
The regional lean toward Sicily, Puglia, and Umbria is genuinely encouraging for a casual neighborhood spot — that's not the usual Chianti-and-call-it-a-day approach. Whether that translates to interesting producers or just recognizable label names, we can't confirm without a menu in hand. The list appears to be curated for the crowd that's here for chicken piccata and tiramisu, not for anyone hunting down obscure orange wines. Depth is likely limited, but the regional focus gives us some optimism.
Glass pour options are unconfirmed from available sources, so we can't give you a count or quality breakdown. For a busy dinner-service spot at this price point, expect a modest by-the-glass program — probably four to eight options covering the basics.
The Bottom Line
Mezza Luna reads like a genuinely warm neighborhood Italian restaurant where the wine list exists to support a good dinner rather than headline it. We don't have enough menu detail to point you to specific bottles, but the Southern Italian regional focus is a promising sign that someone gave it more than five minutes of thought. Go for the lasagna and the atmosphere — and ask your server what they're excited about on the wine list. If they have an answer, you're in decent hands.

Crispina's wine list is doing more than it needs to for a Vinings pizza-and-pasta spot — the Italian white selection alone puts it ahead of most neighbors, and 23 by-the-glass options means you're never stuck ordering a bottle you don't want. Markup is fair across the board, and the $9–$13 glass range makes it easy to drink well without overthinking it. Send a friend here; just steer them toward the Falanghina.

· Chula Vista · Italian
Little Italy Ristorante isn't coming here for the wine — and at these prices, that's probably fine if you just need something cold in a glass. But nine labels, no Italian depth to speak of, and a list that hasn't been curated so much as assembled means this is strictly a cocktail-first, wine-if-you-must situation. If wine matters to you even a little, the food might be worth the trip, but plan to drink elsewhere.

· Chandler · Italian
Floridino's wine list does the minimum required to call itself a wine list — fair prices on uninspiring labels, zero rotation, and a by-the-glass program that's really just the entire list. If you want something to wash down a slice, the Folonari Chianti or Sassoregale are your best moves. But no one is driving to Chandler for the wine program here.
