Lolita's Wine Market

This place is great! Wonderful food, and great wine selection! Indoors is intimate and they have a lovely outdoor area

Lolita has great tapas all fresh served with an attractive presentation. They have a nice wine list and the server is knowledgeable and is able to choose a suitable wine for you. Inside is cozy. They have many cheese platters . For health reasons I'd like to see more vegetarian dishes without any cheese All in all always a delightful dining experience.

Lolita's Wine Bar has become one of my go-to spots since I moved to St. Pete three years ago. The charcuterie and small plates are absolutely incredible--always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Whether you're planning a girls' night to sip wine and chat, or looking for a cozy date night spot, Lolita's checks all the boxes. It's a small, intimate space, which gives it a cozy vibe, but that also means seating can be a bit limited, especially during busy times. If the weather's nice, though, the outdoor seating area is a great option for larger groups. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't regret it!

This is the second time I've been to Lolita's since they moved locations. They are now located in an old house by the Morean Center for Clay with an intimate dining room. They also have an amazing outdoor seating area. Their wine selections are out of this world. The food is fantastic. Whenever I come to Lolitas I want to try as much as possible. They offer different options for charcuterie with a great selection of meats and cheeses. We had a cheese board that we customized, the burrata, and for dessert the tres leches cake. Everything was amazing. Great service. Our Spanish red wine was a perfect compliment to our meal. I recommend if you'd like to sit in the dining room to make a reservation as they don't have too many tables. They are open Wednesdays - Saturdays from 5:00pm - 9:30pm and Sundays from 5:00pm - 8:30pm.

Sometimes you have to find a very different place to eat. It can be the meals from another restaurant, another culture, another region or such. It has to be different on many levels. It also has to represent what you might be doing in the area when you decide to go out. If you find yourself in the "Art District" there are many possibilities there beside a typical meal. This is where you find things different and cross many cultures at once. This night we were in our art district and at the ceramic school and studio. It is in the old train station. It has gone through changes at time, but one of the newest changes was the creation of Lolita's Wine Market. It was different. It is not a typical wine bar. Instead this is a mix of wines from different regions. Wines of different styles and tastes and flavors. Wines that would be different depending on what you eat. And, with the meals more like those in Spain with their Tapas, this is the perfect place to be where you can have some wine and a selection of tapas and "boards". These boards are a vast selection to choose from. It is a combination of cheese, meats, olives, breads, jams and other items depending on what you prefer. There is Italian and Spanish and a touch of American. For us we went with the French Board. It is a combination of Delicede Bourgogne Triple Cream, Buchde Chèvre. Tommede Savoie. Rosemary Ham, Rosettede Lyon Salami. Cornichons. DarkChocolate. Cabernet Berry Jam. This was the place to start with a red wine we selected for this. It was a perfect combination. Next we had The Farmer's Board. This included Moroccan-spiced Lemon Hummus. Heirloom Carrots. White Bean Giardineria. PickledVegetables. Golden Beets. MarinatedArtichokes.Corn Arepas.Balsamic Fig Jam. For this we decided to go with a light white wine. The dishes were ideal and we could have had more. We had the pre-selected boards but you can make your own combination of what you want and how you create it. The wine is a large selection of different tastes and feelings. You can go back many times and try to try it all. For the last item we did have the Tres Leche Cake. That was light and ideal, along with a cup of coffee. Overall, this is the place to be. It is off the beaten path and not where you might expect. Maybe it is time to take the train and see what is waiting for you when you arrive there. Lolita's. Now that is a work of art.
