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.
· Harrisburg · Steak & Seafood
The Forebay is a perfectly competent resort wine list — you won't be miserable, but you won't be excited either. If you're already here, lean into the by-the-glass program and chase the Grillo or a port; if wine is a priority, manage expectations accordingly.

Greystone Public House isn't where you go to geek out on wine — it's where you go to drink something decent without overthinking it or overpaying. For Harrisburg, that's more than enough.

Paxton Towne Center / East Harrisburg · Harrisburg · Seafood and American Grill
Bonefish Grill Harrisburg is a dependable dinner out, not a wine destination — the list is corporate-safe, the markups are real, and nobody behind the bar is losing sleep over vintage variation. Come for the seafood, pick something crisp and white, and set your expectations accordingly.

Midtown · Harrisburg · Bakery Café
The Bread Box is clearly here for the bread, the sandwiches, and the café experience — and that's totally fine. The wine list is an afterthought dressed up in familiar labels with markups that don't reward you for paying attention. Stick to the food, order a coffee, and save the wine for dinner somewhere else.

Midtown · Harrisburg · Brewery Restaurant
Millworks is a brewery first and a wine destination second, but the wine list punches well above what you'd expect from a place whose tap list is the main event. Come for the beer, stay for a Grüner or a Galen Glen — and tell your wine-skeptic friends it's a brewery so they'll actually show up.

Midtown · Harrisburg · Wine Bar
Cork & Fork is doing something genuinely worthwhile in a city where the wine bar concept hasn't exactly taken hold — the list is real, the by-the-glass program is strong, and there are bottles here worth seeking out. Send a friend here if they want something better than a chain restaurant wine list; just temper expectations on staff deep-cuts and don't blow your budget on the Veuve.

· Coeur d'Alene · Italian
Tony's on the Lake is a solid wine list in a beautiful room — not a destination for serious wine hunting, but a reliable companion to a good Italian meal with a lake view. If you're going on a Thursday, pay attention to what's on special before you sit down.

Bosco's isn't a wine destination, and it doesn't pretend to be — but if you're here for the tortellini and a casual glass of something Italian, you won't leave disappointed. Send a friend here for the food; the wine will hold its own.

· Livermore · Italian
Pasta's Trattoria won't blow any wine nerds away, but it's a genuinely solid neighborhood Italian spot that takes its wine seriously enough to make dinner feel complete. If you're in Pleasanton and want a reliable glass with your risotto, you won't be disappointed.
