Charming

Experience dining like never before in our unique restaurant, set in a former concrete wine storage tank. Unwind on our charming terrace, reminiscent of an Italian Piazza, with a refreshing craft cocktail or a glass of wine expertly selected by our sommelier. Our eclectic menu features locally-sourced, seasonal dishes, all prepared from scratch.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi. Conveniently located just off the Lodi wine trail in Lockeford, California, we are the perfect stop halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, 1/2 mile west off scenic Hwy 88.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of local ingredients and culinary innovation.

Great food, little pricy, food took a while. Good ambiance, can get noisy with an echo when people are chatty. Our table was kinda cramped into the corner, we had to move a wood box out of the way to pull the chair out enough to sit down. Table for 6: 4 steaks specials were good, Macaroni and cheese was just ok Chicken was just ok

We had dinner at Gypsy Bistro and it was fantastic!! My husband and I both had the two for…dinner. Chicken fried steak and gravy with creamed potatoes and buttery corn. Our order was taken very quickly and delivered with a smile. Lisa, the owner, actually took our order. The very attentive bartender delivered our delicious meals. We ate every bite!! It was so good!! Our drinks were delivered quickly also. Very fun date night.

Location was neat being an old concrete wine vat. Super small place that has a good ambience. We were never greeted by our waitress, she simply came over, dropped off menus and water and walked off. Our orders were taken - we ordered crab cakes as an appetizer, side salads, and mushroom pappardelle and the filet. We also ordered two old fashions. The drinks came out right away and tasted like the premixed stuff from Costco. They were tasty nonetheless. About 20 minutes later our entrees were delivered and we gave her a puzzled look since we never got our appetizer or salads. She rushed off, came back with all of it and said, I’ll take it off the bill. Crab cakes were good, salads could use work as they were pretty much lettuce and canned kidney beans. Entrees were delicious. The bill came and still had the salads and the app but we didn’t bother to ask about it and just left. Can’t say we’d go back.
