Great atmosphere and good music on Thursday. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the wine selection. The seasoned almonds and the Spanish charcuterie board are great. Nice place for a date or night with the girls!

I love Apericena! It's one of the hidden gems of the south hills. When they have live acoustic music the vibe is even better! I love their selection of wines and cocktails. And their flatbreads are 10/10! Always love being here, especially in the summer with outdoor and indoor seating! Staff is super accommodating with reservations and very friendly every time

My wife and I have been looking for a good date spot in the South Hills, and we were so happy with Apericena for our date night! The ambiance is amazing...it's exactly what you'd want a wine bar to be. We did not feel at all like we were in the middle of the suburbs. We tried both of their featured wine flights and their signature charcuterie board. Every wine featured on the flights was approachable, with a nice variety. The charcuterie was just what we were looking for. As expected, it was not a cheap date. For 18 oz of wine and one charcuterie board, we were in for over $70, but the service, food, and wine were all great. Would definitely recommend!

Wow!!! This place is amazing. Husband and I just moved to the area and we decided to try this place out for dinner and drinks. I will definitely be recommending this place. ESPECIALLY, if you have the pleasure of getting Lauren as your server. She is amazing!! Her customer service was above and beyond! She made the experience that much better. She was so sweet and attentive. Along with everyone there! We will be back!!!

The newer manager, Jason, has terrible customer service, even to people who have been coming to this wine bar since it opened, to people that know the owners, and to other employee’s families. More specifically, I have personally seen him yell at and berate his own employees in front of a restaurant full of people. That makes for a very bad environment for the customers and simple is not a way to treat employees at all and it makes me sick and uncomfortable to see people treated this way at work and in a service environment.

Tonight I was at the wine bar for their Halloween event. My wife and I go regularly ever few weeks. But now things might change. The tall blonde that has waited on us several times In the past and is always fantastic, she was screamed and sworn at in front of many paying customers by an grown man. Who I assumed is the current manager. It made us physically uncomfortable. No matter the circumstance, that should have been dealt with in the back. Seeing a superior in this establishment treat a young girl like that is enough for us not to return. It was so bad, that after it happened some bar patrons seemed so angry they paid there tab and left in a haste. Shacking there heads in the process and saying stuff to the bar tender "That's not ok" etc. I hope the management gets there acted together and corrects this. Disgusting behavior.

Staff was wonderful. Tons of wines and other drink selections on their menu. They also had a nice food selection. Everything our group ordered was very tasty.

We love learning about wine (and love drinking it ). Brooke was curt and not attentive. We have been to a few wine bars, not many, but a few, and all of the wine stewards had given descriptions of wines we are interested in with great pairings as well. They love talking about the regions the wines come from, the tannins, body, and things like the acidity too. Not Brooke. She just seemed like she couldn't be bothered. We tried asking questions. She gave the most basic answers possible, like "it's red" or nothing at all. She did, however, bring over the book "Wine Folly" to show me about a wine I was curious about. I didn't know, because I am by no means a wine connoisseur, that Montepulciano was a grape; I thought it was the region. So instead of describing the wine I was interested in, she got the book, brought it over, and left it there, open to, you guessed it, the grape variety Montepulciano. I felt like she was trying to make me look stupid instead of interacting and being informative. I felt out of place and I've never been made to feel that way when trying something new. So, we finished up, bought a bottle of wine to go from the other wine steward (but that doesn't matter because they pool their tips) and left. PS, I have worked as a server for more than half my life and I would have never treated someone who didn't have knowledge about types of craft beers, food, liquors, or otherwise. I love sharing my knowledge. It gets people to want to learn more....and spend more money. We would've been more than happy to keep drinking and learning about new wines and spend more than our $133 bill. But she turned us off of ever going back and that's so unfortunate. But, the wine we did have was very good.
