I came here with a friend on a Tuesday night to catch up and have some wine. Although described as a "wine bar," this had much more of a dive bar feel. That doesnt bother me, though. The place is rather small, it fit about 2 four-tops, and 3 2-top high tops, as well as bar seating. There was live music the day we were there. It was roughly six musicians and a singer (basically, the amount of people in the band was more than the amount of people in the bar). It was WAY too loud, we could barely hear each other. This place is simply not big enough for music that loud/that aggressive. We got a hummus plate which was great, and then she got the 5 crostini app and I got an eggplant, roasted pepper & fresh mozzarella panini. The waitress asked if we wanted them to come out together, we said yes. My food came out about 25 minutes after hers did. It was more of a sandwich than a panini, but I enjoyed the flavor & it came with pretzel pieces on the side, which I thought was cute. Our server seemed a bit out of it. At one point she asked me if I wanted another glass of wine, I said yes, and she took my glass (I still had about a quarter of a glass of wine in there), which frustrated me. Overall the experience wasnt terrible, the food brought this up to 3 stars, but I wont be back & if I am, it wont be a Tuesday. In a location like Patchogue with so many restaurants/wine bars/dive bars, this place needs to figure out its identity and put it together a bit better.

Having lived most of my life in Medford I was excited at the idea of having a wine bar right next door in Patchogue. Unfortunately this doesnt meet the quality of wine bar I have found in any other city (New Haven, NYC, Syracuse, Rochester, Pittsburgh, DC). First, I went to try it out July 4th weekend and their website said they were open until 2AM, I walked by and they closed. Then I came a second time at 11pm to find out their kitchen closes early, despite nothing on their website about this. Ill give you, the staff was nice enough to still whip something together, but then the veggies they served us were clearly a few days past their prime. I wouldnt even serve veggies like that guests in my own house. I came out to use an Amazon Local which also included two glasses of wine. While the wine menu was small for a wine bar it seemed ok. While it was not specified on the Amazon Local, I did not have access to the entire wine list but a limited selection. I had to choose a wine that my partner never drinks and one I only drink on occasion. Not only was it not one of our preferred wines, but it was clearly a cheap Chardonnay. It lacked any of the complexity or richness you expect with a good wine. If Bella Vino wants to call itself a wine bar they need to both expand their selection of wines plus focus on carrying higher quality wine.

Great food & staff, not a bad atmosphere, but on their nights without entertainment (which are the only nights we like to go for some wine & cheese, they play an absolutely terrible variety of music. It goes from vulgar rap to country in a matter of one song. Id suggest some Real Jazz or maybe a "normal" variety. This Is the only thing keeping us from coming back. time to change it up! hey, even a Pandora account, which is free, would work.

This isnt a place you go to for food. The bar atmosphere? Strange at best. The bartenders always seemed dazed and confused. The service embarrassingly bad. The "regulars"? They seem to be the people kicked out of every other bar in Patchogue...

Nice little bar in Patchogue with a friendly staff. We were there on a quiet night so YMMV when it gets busy. But definitely worth checking out. Great music offerings on weekends. Hope to return soon.. only drawback is parking.

Excellent Martini Menu. Im not a big wine drinker - but the wine samplers look like a lot of fun! Brie & Apple Quesadilla was yummy. Trivia Night is great fun on Thursday around 8:30.

Awesome seasonal cocktails, and a cool spread for making marshmallows. Food was good enough to make sure I wasnt drinking on an empty stomach, and I would definitely return here.

Terrible! Huge mistake to go there. I couldve made microwaveable food better than the dishes we got there. By no means is it a wine bar. I will never go there again!

I can poop better nachos and vomit better spinach dip. The only nice thing was that the service staff forgot to charge us for one of our dishes
