Who We Are

We are Secco Wine Bar. With a humble dream, a humbler budget and a pile of recycled wood we have constructed a sanctuary for all things delicious. We believe that drinking good stuff is a natural right, so we proudly serve an array of artisanal wines (including 30 plus by-the-glass offerings) and amazing craft beers at a ridiculously fair price. All these flowing potables are anchored around a menu where seasonal ingredients, farmstead cheeses, traditional charcuterie and house-made everything are worked into a wide selection of spectacular snacks and small plates. Our casual-chic vibe makes Secco equally ideal for a leisurely dinner, late night drinks or a quick and delicious lunch. Still, what really sets Secco apart is a staff that is friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated to spreading the gospel of good eats.

To Eat

Sample classic Mediterranean nibbles: from cheese and charcuterie to soups and housemade pasta to decadent desserts…all day, every day.


Lunch Menu

You wouldn’t think a wine bar would have one of the best lunch deals in town but we’re full of surprises. With an incredible $10 prix-fixe, awesome signature sandwiches, French press coffee and so much more, Secco offers a tasty break from the daily grinder.


Dinner Menu

Every night after 5PM, Chef Tim supplements our All Day menu of antipasti, cheese and charcuterie with an array of seasonal small plates designed to tickle your palate without busting your budget.
