Wingman Metrics
You walk into a pizzeria and land a wine list anchored by Patrick Piuze Chablis and Planeta Etna Rosso — that's the kind of whiplash we're here for. This is not a list that was assembled by someone clicking "add popular items" on a distributor portal. Someone at Momo's actually cares.
Twenty-eight bottles, every single one available by the glass — that's a commitment most proper wine bars don't make. The list leans Italian in spirit (Idda Bianco Sicilia Carricante, Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Giacomo Mori Palazzone Chianti, Planeta Etna Rosso) but stretches comfortably into France with Serge Laporte Sancerre and Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray, and pulls from the Pacific Northwest with Evening Land Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay and L'Ecole No. 41 Old Vines Chenin Blanc. The $35–$80 bottle range keeps things accessible, and nothing feels like obvious filler — even the bubbles section features Mary Taylor Di Brescia Prosecco Extra Brut alongside Domaine Chandon Brut Rosé, which shows some range. The main gap is depth below $50 on the red side, but given the context, that's a minor gripe.
The full 28-bottle list is available by the glass at $9–$16, which is genuinely rare and frankly a little wild for a pizzeria. Bubbles clock in at $15/glass for both the Francois Montand Blanc de Blancs and the Domaine Chandon Brut Rosé — not a ripoff. The by-the-glass program is the whole program here, which makes it both the strength and the only structural quirk.
Mary Taylor Di Brescia Prosecco Extra Brut — $35
Mary Taylor sources sharp, low-intervention fizz that drinks well above the price point. At $35 a bottle in a pizzeria, this is the move for the table that wants to celebrate without committing to anything serious.
Idda Bianco Sicilia Carricante
Carricante from the slopes of Etna doesn't get nearly enough attention. Idda — the joint project of Gaja and a Sicilian partner — makes a saline, volcanic white that's completely unlike the Pinot Grigio your table will default to. At $80 it's the top of the list, but it's also the most interesting thing on it.
Aperture Cellars Red Blend
At $80, Aperture is priced at the ceiling of this list and competes with far more interesting bottles. It's a well-marketed California red that leans on recognition over substance — the Planeta Etna Rosso or Poliziano Vino Nobile are both more exciting at $70.
Planeta Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese + Margherita Pizza
Nerello Mascalese from Etna is bright, earthy, and high-acid — it was basically made to cut through tomato and fresh mozzarella. The Planeta is approachable enough to not demand attention while making a simple margherita taste considerably more intentional.
The Bottom Line
Momo's is a pizzeria with a wine list that would embarrass some Italian restaurants with actual tablecloths — fair prices, real producers, and the uncommon generosity of offering everything by the glass. If you're in Harrisburg and want a good bottle with your pie, this is where you go.

Mangia Qui is a genuinely appealing spot — the food, the room, and the service cadence all point toward a place that takes the dining experience seriously. The Italian wine focus is the right instinct for this kitchen, and duck confit with a solid Tuscan red is exactly what this kind of room should be delivering. We just don't have enough confirmed wine list detail yet to tell you whether to come for the bottle or stick to the food. Worth a visit — ask your server what's good on the wine list and see what happens.

Zia's isn't a wine destination, but it's a reliable, fairly priced list that respects the room it's in and won't leave you feeling ripped off. If you're here for a nice Italian dinner and a couple of honest glasses of wine, it delivers.

Downtown · Harrisburg · American/Gastropub
Federal Taphouse is a beer bar that happens to serve wine, and the list reflects exactly that priority order. If you're with a group split between pint-drinkers and wine-drinkers, it works — just don't expect anyone to geek out over the bottle selection with you.

Home 231 is a solid neighborhood dinner spot where the wine list does its job without any drama — which is fine, as long as you're not expecting it to be the reason you showed up. Come for the food, order something simple off the list, and enjoy the room.

Hershey · Harrisburg · Seafood/Steakhouse
Devon isn't breaking new ground, but for a chain steakhouse in Hershey, this wine list punches above its weight — especially if you gravitate toward Rieslings or Pinot Noir. We'd send a friend here knowing they won't get gouged and won't have to settle.

Black 'n Bleu is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak — the wine list, however, is an afterthought dressed up as a program. Skip the Woodbridge, grab the Argyle, and spend your energy on the food.

Buckhead · Atlanta · Italian
Antica Posta earns a Wild Card for doing one thing with genuine conviction: assembling a Brunello di Montalcino selection that most Atlanta restaurants wouldn't attempt. It's not a balanced list, pricing data is opaque, and if you're looking for Barolo, Champagne, or anything outside Tuscany, you'll be reaching. But if you want to drink serious Sangiovese — Poggio di Sotto, Fuligni, Marroneto — in a room that clearly cares about it, this is the place to do it.

Decatur · Decatur · Italian
Avellino's earns its stripes as a Decatur pizza institution, but the wine program is a blind spot we can't responsibly rate in detail — the data simply isn't there. Come for the Tutta Guarnita, grab a beer or a soft drink, and save the serious wine drinking for somewhere that cares about the glass as much as the crust.

· Marietta · Italian
Gianni & Mac's has a focused, Italian-forward white wine list that punches above its weight in regional authenticity — the Frascati and Etna Bianco alone justify a closer look. The sparkling section is bloated and the markups get steep at the top end, but if you stick to the Italian whites you'll drink well without feeling robbed. Send a friend here for the food and tell them to ask about the Etna Bianco.
