Primitivo Wine Bistro

The salad were delicious! The meatballs were DELICIOUS! The shrimp app was DELICIOSO! The lamb was Delicious! Strawberry Apple strudel - YES, please! But the best of it all was the wine list! I heart!

gjelina steals their thunder, but the food here is great and there is no crazy wait. the ribeye, scallops with corn puree, and paella are my favorites. i like their elderberry white sangria too.

Everything was really flavorful. We ordered WAY too much food, but enjoyed trying everything. Baby beet salad, sauteed tiger shrimp, roasted Scottish salmon, and patatas bravas were all delicious.

The paella is exceptional & exquisite! The house tapenade & aioli are heavenly creatures! Love the backdoor patio for lunch dates & the dimly lit artsy front room is perfect for a dinner tryst.

Get a table in the back terrace! Order a Red Sangria Jar, the Tortilla Española is a really good starter, order the amazing paella for two!! Great place!

This place is awesome for brunch on sundays. Bottomless mimosas and sangrias with a superb menu. The French toast is RIDIC!

Must try the Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates with Chorizo, Balsamic and Candied Walnuts or Braised Chipotle BBQ Beef Short Ribs with Apple Smoked Bacon and Caramelized Onions!

Get the white sangria infused with elderflower. It's sparkly and pretty fantastic.

when in doubt, this is where we end up: Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates, Golden Beet Salad, Tuna Tartar, ... but most importantly: don't miss "Sangria Sundays" with those amazing "Primitivo Sliders": ) 자세히 보기

The bacon warped dates were so delicious!

Bacon wrapped dates... Omg! Yes please!!!!! Everything is great but bacon wrapped dates... OH YEAH!

Tiger shrimp really good! Ask for extra grilled bread to dip in sauce!

elderflower white wine sangria. Prettiest sangria ever because it sparkles. Yeah, it sparkles.

The food seemed cheap and prepared long ago even though it was quite expensive! The wine was good, but also not cheap. Nice people, but a little bit too busy.

Love all the cool paintings! Many of them are early works by the amazing artist Natalia Fabia.

Quinoa w/soft shell crab is delicious!

food is average. tapas are ok.avoid the steak. I ordered it medium rare but it tasted bone dry and barely any flavor. atmosphere varies depending on where you're seated so shoot for the back room.

If you order glasses of wine at the bar while waiting for a table expect to pay taxes on top of list price. I get it, bit who does that? The bacon wrapped dates *are* great though.

Chef changed in May 2012. No more sangria Sundays and they don't serve food between 4pm and 5pm.

The bacon wrapped dates are like candy wrapped in bacon. Perfect food.

The oxtail! The bacon wrapped dates! The sangria!

The bar tenders seem to be too busy talking to their friends than providing good service.

White Italian white was very light, it tasted like it had water in it (I'm Italian and I know how it should taste!)

Beet salad and chorizo. Delicious late lunch snack.

Elderflower Sangria is delicious, great crab cakes!!!

Great selection of wines

Impressive wine list. Ask to sit on the patio.

Brunch + Sangria xoxo

Tapas are so delicious!

paella, beet salad, bacon-wrapped dates

Any pinotage and you're good, but the Neil Ellis is the best value

Our favorite Sunday spot- sangria Sundays. Make sure Aaron is working at bar.

Women occasionally break up with me here.

Sangria, short rib and bacon-wrapped dates.

Delicious Bacon Wrapped Dates

Get the sangria and ask for Aaron at the bar.

Server was on her period, but so was I and this totally hit the spot!!!

Try the Hummus and Pita...

Smallest cheese plate in Southern California!

Craving some Patatas!

The Man desert is really great if you like chocolate.

Don't miss the Bacon Wrapped Dates

Ask about the wine flights.

Bottomless mimosas and slow service. Oh LA

I looooove the paella!!!

Sangria Sundays 4:30-6:30p!

Avoid the place. Mediocre food at best and over priced. Walk down to Gjelina instead.

drink some great red wine sangria
