Lolita's Wine Market - Wine bar in St. Petersburg - 420 22nd St S, USA

All around 5 stars! We have been going to Lolita's for years now and just experienced their new location at Morean Clay Center. A historic train station turned into a clay studio and art center. We LOVED eating outdoors in their new space. It will definitely be great during the fall, winter, and spring, but summer will be difficult. They do offer inside seating but it is a smaller space over all. Hopefully they will be able to expand into part of the station. They were forced to move from their old location as it's being torn down for a new apartment complex. While the location has changed, their food and wine remain superb! The food is ALWAYS excellent! We have never had anything bad at Lolita's. Their tres leches was served in a coconut with conunte meat still intact. That was fun to see placed in front of us. Parking should not be a problem, unless the clay center is having an event. They have brunch on Sundays 10:30am - 1:30pm head to their website to make reservations. Their staff is always on point, but last night I really enjoyed listening to Roland with his guests. I could tell he is super passionate about food and enjoys sharing what Lolita's has to offer it's guest. I will be asking for him as a server on our next visit. Our dishes: Charcutier board: Black Pepper Salami, Rosemary Ham, Palacuos Chorizo, honey with honey comb, truffled goat cheese peppadews (one of my favorites), Cabernet berry jam, via arra bread+crackers, manchego, and two other cheeses.. I can't remember the names. Cold Plate: Truffle Focaccia - black truffle mushroom ricotta, grana padano, truffle honey, mad n salt, baby arugula. Hot Plates: Scallops - ancho-espresso spiced, butternut squash ravioli, apple-jicama slaw, sage mojo. Beef Short Ribs - gorgonzola-cracjed pepper gnocchi fondue, tempranillo demi, wild mushroom gremolata, crispy shallots Dessert: Tres Leches Cake - sponge cake, 3 milks, pineapple compote, toasted coconut, meringue, served in a coconut They have an extensive wine list online. There is a QR Code on the table that will take you to their wine menu. Don't forget to leave them a review here on Yelp and on Google Business! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have over the years.

Lolita’s generally does not miss!!! The food was incredible, the server was wonderful, the wine pairing was magnificent. My only complaint is that the host really was not personable at all, and set our experience off the wrong way. I don’t know if he was having a bad day or if he was really fatphobic or something but luckily our server and the food turned it around.

My friends treated me for my birthday. We shared the Lola board. It was so good that we ordered a few of the cheeses to go. We also had the eggplant with tamarind sauce and beef with gnochi and gorgonzola sauce. We shared 2 bottles of this wine served perfectly chilled. I can't begin to explain how perfect the service was. We laughed and ate the most delicious food; it was the best thing I could imagine for my birthday.

10 out of 10 would recommend. Beyond the ambiance, hand curated charcuterie and cheese boards, and one of a kind wine selection, the energy from the staff and ownership just leave you wanting to come back for more. Always love to see and support a locally owned business but even more so when community and culture are at the heart of the vision. Definitely will be back WITH a reservation to enjoy the full dining experience Lolita’s has to offer.

Great experience with waitress Stacy. The food was 10/10 and all recommended by her. We started out with the French board followed by the truffle focaccia, heirloom carrots, and braised short rib. Everything was FANTASTIC and she made our experience just that more special!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the new location of Lolita! This was actually my first experience ever attending. Lolita, both at this location and the prior, but I am so glad that I finally went. We sat outside and while it was hot and humid, the vibe and the atmosphere was incredible. There were sting lights, and the service was really equally great outside as I imagined, as it would be inside. Our server, Roland was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable both with the menu and wine. He was so pleasant and extremely hard working! The charcuterie was also to die for. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Wow! So impressed by my experience here! The presentation of every dish was spectacular, and the flavors were delicious to match! We started with the fire and ice ceviche, aptly named with a dry ice presentation and wonderfully refreshing citrusy flavors, with a little heat from the jalapeños and aji amarillo. Next up was the burrata, with sweet peaches, umami miso vinaigrette, and creamy frozen coconut milk. I recommend getting bread to soak up all the flavorful toppings! The carrots and watermelon dish had a great variety of flavors and textures and colors, with a hibiscus foam, creamy citrus yogurt, and crunchy spicy salsa macha. The eggplant dish was also a great combo of sweet and savory, with whipped goat cheese and pineapple date chutney. Finally, the tres leches dessert was creamy and not overly sweet, and presented in a half coconut! Our server was welcoming and helpful, and despite being such a small place the ambiance was nice and inviting. Can't wait to return!

Our server Roland was amazing , his knowledge of wine and suggestions was really impressive , he made our experience . The inside is adorable , as is the outdoor seating , it was a chilly night so we opted for inside it had an old San Juan Vibe . The food was equally as delicious, however everything was VERY rich. The wine choices were also pretty good for by the glass , I appreciated their conversational pour. I thought their tapas were a bit pricey, however , they did give LARGE portions . Much larger than any other tapas restaurant I've been. Will return .
