Absolutely amazing! We have been here before and this was our 2nd time around! Food and service was spectacular! Great recommendations on food and wine and just overall great service. Will definitely be back soon!
This was the best meal I have had in Winnipeg; we did not have one mediocre plate,all were exceptional. The service was timely and attentive and Jesse knows his wine that weblog course indulged in! We will be back.
Definitely on my top 5 list!
Fantastic food and great service
Flavour pairings are spectacular!
Exceptional service!!
Highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Wonderful service, fabulous food. Highly recommend for a great time!
Top food!! Pretty to look at and very very tasty!
I loved it there. The beef tar tar was amazing. I would definitely recommend going there if you like sharing tapas.
We were guests of KWV wine and the restaurant was our third stop for the final 4 courses of the dinner. They did a great job that was excellent.
As usual, the Internet is flooded with whiners. We literally just finished here, the plates were fantastic, service was just fine. The beef tartare was the best I have ever had anywhere. Prawns, Salumi, Duck, all excellent. Only thing we weren't a fan of was the scallops, but that's just a personal taste thing. Would definitely enjoy again.
Phenomenal experience, dishes were well paced, and the flavors were out of his world. I will definitely be back and will spread the word. 10/10.
Loved every bit of it. Special seats 8 and 9. Great attention from the staff! Will return!
My taste buds went on a magic carpet ride, I could not of been more impressed with the whole experience. From the food to the service to the vibe in the restaurant, Enoteca has it all going on. This place is an absolute home run!
It was ssssooo amazing ! Congrats to Scott And his team for such an amazing evening.
I think I found a new favourite spot ! Very friendly servers. Absolutely delicious food. I tried foie gras for the first time and Im so happy I did. My favourite dish was the artichoke one. I think i could eat that one every day for the rest of my life! Also a grounding atmosphere. Love !
Good atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, will return when the menu rotates.
Prices are high, but you get what you pay for.
Went to Enoteca over the holidays with my husband. The beef tartare was recommended and was so delicious and buttery. Service and atmosphere was great but the overall menu was pricey.
Food and service is second to none. Great food isn’t cheap and it shouldn’t be the way Enoteca delivers it. The kitchen and serving staff is always on point to make your visit as good as it can be. Well done.
A culinary experience!
The dishes are creatively put together and have a detailed fresh look. However the flavours are lacking and don't particularly come together in a magnificent way. It looks better than it tastes. The place itself has a minimalist vibe. I will be back, an intriguing place with potential.

Came here with family for dinner. This place is busy on weekend evenings so make sure to get a reservation if you plan on giving this place a try.
This place is a wine bar and tasting menu restaurant. Dishes are small and you're expected to share them too! The problem with restaurants like this, is value. If you expect this place to fill you up and you're going through the 2-3 glasses of wine for the evening, you're looking at $100 a head. Value is subjective, but quantity aside, Enoteca is giving quality and expensive ingredients. Products like caviar, Meyer lemons, ahi tuna, foie gras, and cave aged gruyere are expensive and hard to come by and all used on the menu.
Decor of the restaurant is modern and minimalist. Service was attentive throughout the evening and the waiter seemed knowledgeable with the wine and menu and the pairings available. In fact, many of the ingredients used are quite exotic and he explained them very well. An example is the Nagano pork belly (pork belly braised Japanese style) served with romesco sauce (a nut based sauce from Northern Spain commonly served with calcot). This is a very interesting combination and is very tasty!
As for the food, some items were phenomenal, like the sable fish and the pork belly. Unfortunately there was the one miss on our last visit which was the sinewy duck breast. All in all, the food here is indeed flavourful and a real treat for the senses! The chef is able to procure and fuse rare/exotic ingredients together to generate flavours that are not common to come by. Definitely a good culinary experience if you are able to afford it.
My SO and I came here for the very first time last night. The restaurant serves tapas so we ordered a few dishes to try between the two of us. The salmon special that we had was very good! It was certainly different but in a good way. The lamb sago that we had was good too, however,, we would appreciate it more if the lamb was less gamy.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. The service was excellent and the pairing of the dishes was very unique, which we appreciated very much. However, just a heads up, be prepared to spend if you decided to come here for a full meal because tapas don't come cheap! We would totally come back again just to try out different items at our next visit as Enoteca changes their menu periodically.
A superb evening! Service was special. Food choices were strikingly presented and very tasty. The beet dish took us to a whole new level of gourmet experience!
Ate here for our anniversary. My wife and i shared 6 dishes. The portion sizes are smaller than they were at deseo, but extra care is taken with the presentation. All of our dishes were delicious. Lived up to my expectations of a Scott Bagshaw restaurant. The space is on the small/cramped side, so you get to know your neighbour, whether you want to or not. Service was very good and they really know their stuff. We will definitely return.
Had an evening free from the kids and I had to his restaurant on my "want to try it" list, and conveniently someone at work suggested it the same day as a great tapas place. So here I am, providing some feedback. I'm thoroughly impressed with the tapestry of flavours. My wife and I had three dishes (I will simply and call them; the shaved Brussels sprouts, the stacked flatbread and soy beans, as well as the amazing pork and chorizo) and a splendid chocolate mousse for dessert. Everything we had tasted so complete in their flavours, except for one dish which seemed basic at fist, and then realized how wonderful it was to the point where we jokingly contemplated etiquette of potentially licking the plate after. Service was great and we sat at the "bar" where we loved watching the chefs prepare everyone's dishes, helping us see what else we might want to get. Relatively small establishment, so call ahead for reservations so you are not disappointed!!!
A consistent favorite for my friends and I. This visit around we indulged in the beet salad, cauliflower, scallops, lamb, crème brûlée and chili plate mouse. All very enjoyable; packed with fresh dynamic flavors.
Went here for a celebratory dinner and it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Since they specialize in wine, we asked our server to bring us a new glass to pair with each dish. We ended up trying almost the entire menu, and as a result my memory of each specific dish is a bit hazy. Of what I do remember, nothing could have been done better.
The tartare was classic but amazing, served with the best brioche you'll ever taste. Our server recommended the cauliflower as one of their most popular dishes, and for good reason. Everything was packed with flavour and the wine pairings were perfectly complimentary and delicious. Can't wait to go back!
First time experience and a long time coming it was. Great wine selection, great tapas menu options and amazing service. Ordered 4 plates: beef tar tar, roasted cauliflower with gruyere, roasted beets with prosciutto and the duck. The tar tar was great and I loved the soft brioche it was served with, much better than crostinis. Cauliflower I would come back for again. The Brussels were good but underwhelming, I did not care for the citrus in the dish. Finally, the duck blew me away, it is such a great protein option on the menu.
My friend had recommended this place. So I knew it was tiny and always busy. We made reservations ahead of time. As expected it was packed and busy but our server was great and food was amazing. I'm a big fan of tapas! We had an amazing beef tartare with the best brioche, we had a beet dish which was super good especially if you love beets like me, and ended with the pork belly with parsnips and a lemongrass reduction. It was so juicy and tender and had the right amounts of sauces and veggies with it. Would recommend to anyone just make reservations ahead of opening or at opening. Great food overall and service. It's a bit tight for space but the food and service made up for that. A girlfriend and I shared these 3 plates and left satisfied!

Excellent dining experience! This place is a hidden gem! I loved the atmosphere from the decor, to the calm music that played in the background. A very cozy, intimate setting. There was three of us in our group, so we each selected our top pick and then asked the server to help us with the fourth. We ended up with the roasted Brussels, roasted cauliflower, hanger steak and the lamb sugo. Each item was brought out individually and the dishes were spaced out well enough that we had time to try and discuss each dish. Our server was very attentive throughout the whole experience. To finish the evening off, we decided to get dessert (even though we were all feeling very full, they sounded too delicious to pass up). There was the option of a chocolate mousse with shortbread and an orange Creme brûlée with bay leaves. Both were good but I was more partial to the mousse as I am a chocolate lover. Overall, I was incredibly impressed with the evening! We had fantastic service, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very inviting. I will be raving about this one for a while and will definitely be returning to try more!
Artfully prepared, flavourful tapas style dishes. Although calling them 'tapas' does not do justice to their level of sophistication and depth of character. Friendly, knowledgable service and excellent wines. Can not wait to return!
A great restaurant for sharing dishes. The food was tasty however the portions were small. The lamb dish was incredibly small. The creme brûlée was delicious. An interesting dining experience while being somewhat pricey.
Well,we finally swallowed the frog and went here for dinner. As I'm limited to the number of words, I need to be brief. 1) very expensive. We are by no means chintzy diners, but is assessing the meal and the cheque afterwards, we felt...underwhelmed. 2) fawning service bordering on obsequious. We don't want need our server regurgitating wines and varietals and pairings rote manner over us at the table. We get it, dude. And spare us the big words; it's a night out, not a university linguists class. 3) food. VERY small servings, highly deconstructed, complex flavours and ingredients, improved as we worked down the menu. Excellent Nagano pork belly, tartare best we've ever had. Biggest downside of all was that we left hungry and over $200.00 lighter in the wallet. Overall a nice time with food that went from good to great. Would we return? The verdict is still out on that....

Great restaurant if you like trying new things and eating "tapas style". There was two of us and we ordered 4 tapas, plus dessert and it was amazing. Ordered the green salad, brussel sprouts, shrimp and braised short rib - would recommend them all! Had espresso mouse for dessert - it was wonderful. Wine prices are too expensive, which is my only complaint.
The cozy and chic atmosphere is only improved by the knowledgeable and accommodating staff. I had the roasted cauliflower dish. Not only was it delicious and well presented, but very filling. Our server was also able to suggest the appropriate wine to compliment our meals.
Small restaurant, nicely decorated. Nice wine choices and the food - all "small plates" intended for two - was spectacular. We had the asparagus, steak tartar and short ribs and finished up with a breath-taking orange/thyme/basil creme brûlée. The servers were a delight and very knowledgeable.
One quibble: the music was a bit intrusive. Something softer would be better. Otherwise heartily recommended!
Excellent food but uncomfortable seating. We also had to ask for fresh plates and cutlery with each new dish. With just a few changes, Enoteca could be the best tapas restaurant in Winnipeg.
Went to Enoteca on Friday for the first time and had an amazing meal. The food was beautiful. Each ingredient was handled with care and served a purpose. The dishes are unlike anything you'll find in the city. The chef really is an artist. The service was really good (shout out to Doug!). He was prompt, knowledgeable, and really helped us decide on what to order and how much. The meal was paced properly and we were want for nothing. This is a place for intelligent eaters.
Fantastic. The location is a little wanting, but once you get inside this place prepare for an adventure to flavourtown. I was seriously impressed. The wine selection is well thought out, service is fantastic, the dishes are creative. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Just go for it, you're in good hands.
First time here, but will definitely be back. I've never had beef tartar prior to trying it here, but it was surprisingly delicious despite being apprehensive to try it. The green salad was amazing for a salad, and was quite filling, but the beef short rib with the black truffles and trumpet mushroom was my favourite. If you like Deseo, you'll enjoy Enoteca.
Great food and love the atmosphere! Will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary dinner and had an incredible meal. The service was prompt and the open kitchen gave the restaurant an intimate vibe. We ordered three dishes to share; the beef tartare, a roasted cauliflower dish and the beef short rib.
The beef tartare was the perfect consistency and served with a hot mustard and creme fraiche along with a generous smattering of foie gras. A raw quail egg was served on the pile of tartare, which we had fun swirling into the fresh meat. When all piled generously onto the provided toast point they worked harmoniously to create that savory, tangy, salty experience that makes beef tartare a classic.
The roasted cauliflower was a thoughtful and beautiful vegetable dish. It contained a bouquet of ingredients that worked together to elevate the cauliflower. Anything but boring. Capers, cave aged gruyere, leeks, macerated orange slices and almonds came together to add amazing flavour and texture to every bite. As you eat this dish it becomes a different experience, each ingredient stepping into the spotlight depending on how you arranged it on your fork.
The beef short rib, though. Damn. I mean damn. I told the server I wanted to write a book about it. I was hesistant to order the short rib and thank god my wonderful man convinced me. It was served in a pool of dark, Port wine gravy with perfectly creamy mashed potatoes, wilted greens and a hit of black truffle. As you nudged the meat with your fork, tender fibers just fell away. This made it easy to share but difficult not to fight over.
Please go here. Support this business. This is real Winnipeg culinary talent and you will not be disappointed.
Wine is a bit pricey but the meals are wonderful and great for sharing. Tried the steak tartare (great smoky flavour), pasta with lamb, and tomatoes with buffalo motzarella and they were all flavourful. Definitely go with a few people and share your meals family style!
Loved it! We always leave the tapas choices and wine paring up to our server, he did an amazing job. Delicious food, great atmosphere, generous portions. New fav restaurant
Best. This new restaurant was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in Winnipeg. The service was professional with excellent wine and food pairing suggestions, the gnocchi was deep with flavour while being fluffy and crisp at the same time, the beef short rib was oozing with rich and complex sauce and the creme brûlée was the perfect end to the evening. Enoteca is the real deal.
Second meal at Enoteca, second memorable experience. Chef Scott is creating some seriously tasty food here, with a professional, informed, wine-savvy staff. The tartare is the best I've tasted, and the fresh pasta with lamb takes me back to Tuscany. Very excited to see what's on his next menu.

See ya later Quiznos' HELLLOOO Enoteca!. This place isn't pumping out hot subs anymore that's for sure. Enoteca, a new eatery, is the newest addition to the Corydon strip near Kenaston that houses amazing shops like Oak and Lilly, Poppy Clothing, and Hair 2 Dye For.
The atmosphere is minimalist, sharp and inviting - as is the menu. The open kitchen concept is always a favourite as well. Seeing a calm, cool and collective team making your meal, always means things are going to blow your taste buds away.
We are definitely heading back for more. This first visit we started with Salt Roasted Beets served with curried chèvre, walnut puree, apple dressing and granola. The mixture of all these ingredients is unreal! Granola and the puree, mixed with the beets and some basil...mind blown. You need this meal in your life - trust me.
We followed this with the Cured hamachi, passion fruit, chili cucumber, coconut, and yucca chipe. This was such a refreshing plate. The flavours were all crisp and light. The perfect nosh after a hot summer day.
Then the order that made my husband say he would get 20 of these plates hands down: The Short rib, smoked potato, pickled mustard, onion ring, pistachio and red wine. Ah-may-zing. The meat melts in your mouth, the onion ring is perfect contrast of texture with the meat, and the sauce...oh man the sauce. You won't regret it.
We ended off the evening (after tipping back a full bottle of white wine from the region of Alsace with our 3 plates) with a ginger creme brûlée. This wrapped up the evening in a perfect little bow.
The menu is small - which you know means quality off the top. As is the wine menu. No crazy selections which makes menu choices easier (in my opinion). The service was outstanding, and considering this is a new place that speaks volumes. Check Enoteca out, you won't regret it. It's the little things that I adored here too, the receipt is hand written, the servers wear dark aprons, there is one large communal dining table. This all equals one great experience as soon as you walk in the door. Two words: EAT HERE.
Yes YES yes!. Great new spot. Great addition. I'm sure it will be around for a long time. Cozy, inviting minimalist atmosphere. Perfect, friendly service. Great food. What could be bad? For those of you who aren't afraid of a little raw meat, the steak tartare is amongst the best I have ever had (maybe the best). Other standout was the Tomato Salad with Buffalo mozza and Pinenut butter! I want more.
Will be back! Excellent service and the cauliflower three ways along with the shortrib (with smoked mashed potatoes) were delicious.

Love, love, LOVE!!!. Just when you thought Scott couldn't get any better...
This is a tapas restaurant with a similar menu (in spirit) to the tapas menu that you would find at Deseo. The style of the dishes are the same, but none of the menu items are identical and most are brand new. We tried four dishes: tomatoes, hamachi, cauliflower, and beets.
Each dish was better than the one before, and the one before was fantastic, so the bar just got higher and higher.
We narrowed our favourites down to three of the four we tried.
1. The hamachi was beautiful and perfectly balanced. The fish was served with a variety of different sauces that were dripped along the plate. The flavourful sauces included a mixture of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy. Add to that the crispy yucca chips and the combination of texture and flavour was perfection. Please keep this on the menu!
2. Cauliflower. No one in this city is able to create innovative vegetable dishes like Scott Bagshaw. Most chefs forget about or don't care about vegetarians. They usual throw on a pasta or filo pastry dish to appease the veggies and call it a day. Not this chef. Who would have thought that cauliflower could be spectacular? But with a mixture of delicious roasted cauliflower, raw almonds, walnut (I think?) puree, and pickled raw cauliflower, the taste profile was truly marvelous. We love this chef for his genius at creating wonderful and delicious veg dishes. Keep them coming!
3. Beets. Okay, so if you've been to Deseo you know the beet salad. We initially skipped this dish thinking it was the same old thing. Not so. We took a second look at the menu and gone is the cambozola (which in our opinion makes this Deseo favourite). Add instead curry chevre, a nut butter (can't remember which nut), and wait for it...granola! This combination turned an old favourite into and even more fabulous new favourite! What a fantastic dish!
Now if the food wasn't delicious enough, this restaurant offers a small but terrific wine list with 3, 6, and 9 ounce pours (plus full bottles of course). My husband is a variety seeker, so tried most of the whites, the rose, and the Pinot Noir. I'm pretty predictable and stuck to my usual palate, which in this case was a Cab Sauvignon/Shiraz blend (yes with veg and fish dishes). I was surprised to find that this bigger wine worked fabulously with all the dishes except the fish. Charles and Charles! Yum!
The service was impeccable and the ambiance energized (but still audible). We will return to Enoteca again (and again and again). Can't recommend it highly enough. Congrats Scott and team on a wonderful new restaurant!
Wow! Amazing new restaurant in town. I highly recommend everything! Especially the tomato salad, beef tartar and the hamachi dish. The service was phenomenal. Very informative and well paced. the flavours of the food blew my mind! Will go back for sure. Very impressed.
Enoteca was a joy and delight to dine at. The style, presentation and pagentry the chefs create with their food is something everyone should behold. Make sure to go with a group as they are geared towards shared small plate tapas style dining.
Really great experience with beautiful atmosphere and delicious food with interesting flavor profiles—the tartar is a departure from what one would usually expect, but was very delicious. I could tell that they use quality ingredients to make their food. It is a small plating, share you food kind of place and the serving portions are relatively small and $$$. However my overall experience was 100% I would go back again. They have a good selection of wines and drinks but mostly wine focused. Food came out relatively fast, and the service was great staff were very friendly. They're located at the end of Corydon, closer to Kenneston. Parking is very easy as they have their own parking lot. Make sure to make reservation ahead of time, It's a very small restaurant with around 10 small tables and they are very popular!
We had an amazing experience here. Our waitress was really nice and the vibe is very “classic.” The food was good and the price is reasonable. You should make a reservation since there is an limited amount of tables. Overall a good place for a date night.
Very pleasant dining experience. Recommended by a friend, but never had the chance to go. It happened to be a friend's birthday and I made an online reservation; overall, the meal is very delicate, the amount of dishes is slightly small, maybe one person needs to order 1-2 dishes; the recommended dishes include roasted cauliflower as an appetizer, and pasta 2 are ok; if If it is meat, pork belly and duck breast are recommended;
My partner and I went to Enoteca for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary. The food, wine, and service were exceptional (thanks Tori!). We loved the tapas style and enjoyed every dish that we ordered. I would eat here again in a heartbeat!
Wow! This is one of my favourite restaurants! The food was divine, sweetbreads, pork belly, duck breast and you have to try the cauliflower with leeks, almonds, brown butter and Gruyère ! Such an incredible food 👍🏻
Ordered takeout for a birthday. The food was very good. The only dish that we didn’t like was the duck, which was very bland and didn’t look particularly attractive either. The cauliflower is amazing, the pork belly which everyone seems to like if you read the reviews is just excellent even if you don’t think you like pork. The chocolate tart and chèvre cheesecake are both a must.
