Urban Press Winery & Restaurant - Burbank, California

In the heart of downtown Burbank. We went there for my birthday’s dinner. Food was great, we did wine tasting, tried the Caesar salad, 4 cheese pizza, bolognese and the Tiramisu.
Live music was a little bit loud but the service was great

Hidden gem in Burbank! We had the most amazing dinner with a wine tasting experience at this lovely and authentic place. The whole staff were absolutely fabulous and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The food was extraordinary and the octopus was definitely the best I have ever had. Very well balanced flavors and new interesting combinations. It’s a pity we are not local otherwise we’d be regulars.

Had gone there before and the food was good. This time, prepaid and reserved for Valentines Day. Atmosphere was great but the food was below par. The appetizers were very mediocre. For example the menu stated “Heirloom tomatoes with burrata cheese”. Those were not heirloom tomatoes And the tuna sashimi was not very good.
The entree was ok.
Any way, was disappointed.

We made a last-minute reservation for dinner here and were pleasantly surprised. At first glance, the restaurant seems quite unassuming, with its narrow entrance, but the space extends much farther back than expected. After winding through several hallways and staircases, we ended up on their charming patio—a cozy spot next to a faux-Tuscan wall complete with a fountain.
The wine list, while small with only about six options, had a few decent selections by the glass. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. The menu, rooted in Italian cuisine, offered a solid variety of starters and main courses. We began with fresh focaccia bread, which set a nice tone for the meal. I opted for the Manhattan-cut NY Steak, which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. My wife chose the Fusilli Alla Norma and loved it. We capped the meal with a couple of cannolis, which left us thoroughly satisfied. Overall, the meal was on the pricier side, but the quality of the food and experience made it worthwhile. Can't give it 5 stars because of the limited wine list but still great nonetheless.

Wooooow!! By far the best food in Burbank maybe in LA you be the judge. Great date spot or family drinking spot

A very good place to go for a birthday celebration, date, dinner, wine tasting, or just a nice night out in Burbank. I took my wife to Urban Press Winery for her birthday dinner and she was extremely impressed! Live music, nice lighting, gourmet food, great seating indoor and outdoors… it was the perfect way to celebrate my wife’s birthday weekend! Everything was beyond incredible and amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We added wine tasting to our visit and enjoyed well-crafted deserts to round out a very special weekend. I absolutely recommend this exquisite winery and restaurant to anyone in the area or even potential visitors from out of town like us to give them a try!

I went to the Urban Press Winery & Restaurant last night. Boy that place has really come into its own. It’s a legit Italian cucina.

I’m pretty wine snobby. Their 2017 Grenache Blanc was light and bright. Nice balance of fruit and dryness. It paired perfectly with the Caesar’s salad. For the main course I had a 2013 Black Label Cab. Which was big and rich and had lovely tannins and was perfect with the Spaghetti.

The Caesar Salad was on point. The you could taste the delicate blend of anchovies with the parmigiano. There was no shortage of Parm shavings.

I had the Spaghetti Bolognese which was some of the best I’ve has in Los Angeles.

For desert we had the Tiramisu and poached pair. The tiramisu was good, but the pair was outstanding.

We ate in the patio mezzanine which had a pair of swamp coolers for the heat and heaters for the cold. The large Italian murals created a lovely scene. The service was excellent and I look forward to going back soon.

They had me when I walked through the wine bottle shaped entrance into the dining area at a Yelp event in late September. The decor, the ambience and the service were top notch and so, here I am again with a few other Yelpers enjoying a Saturday night drinking delicious wine, eating and listening to a very tight 7 piece jazz band with a fabulous female vocalist!

Our server, Mario, was amazing from start to finish. He was on point with our wine selections. For DineLA they were offering a 5 glass flight for $25 with an option to pick what we liked. We all decided to pick our own and Mario who was only here for 1 week, (hard to believe:), helped us make our 5 selections. He was extremely attentive and was always there presenting the bottle when our glasses were drained. Hee hee...

Silvia, was also helpful as well as Madison, who remembered me from the yelp event. She came up to our table to say hello. They make you feel very comfortable here!

I ordered a margarita pizza (to die for! Perfect amount of cheese to sauce ratio and the crust was soft and crunchy at the same time) YUM!!! I also ordered an arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan w/balsamic dressing. It was very good but just a tad too much parmesan for me. It took over the arugula.

Entertainment was AWESOME!!!!! I could not help but dance in my seat. Also got a chance to sing a bit with the vocalist:) The dining area was packed with a great crowd of enthusiastic people! Fun night for sure!
