Great place! We stumbled upon this place and the staff and owners were awesome. Owner came to each table to introduce himself and added a personal touch to each table visit. Staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. Wine was great! The bring your own food (BYOF) is great too. We will definitely be adding this place to our rotation of regular visits.
A wonderful wine bar. They were very friendly, helped us pick wine based on what we liked and did a great job of it. The staff was very personable, knowledgeable about wine, the atmosphere was open and friendly, the clientele was friendly. I whole heartedly recommend this place.
One of my favorite spots to get wine in the city. Everything they have their is unique and you wont find it anywhere else. All the wines are great choices for solid prices. The service is great and the owners are extraordinarily nice people to be around. Coming here feels like coming home
Cosy little wine bar. You can bring your own food and buy wine by the bottle or by the glass. The wine is mid-range priced, and the glasses are 8-15$ if i remember correctly. You can do some tastings before you buy which is also fun. They only stock 3 different wineries in three distinct Italian regions, wineries that are also not available in the state stores.
Been meaning to stop in for sometime. Dont be scared by the polished appearance - its not uptight or too posh and is in fact quite warm and welcoming. The owner and staff were both friendly, ecourage tasting before purchase, and really seem proud of their business. It kind of reminded me of an ice cream shop (but its wine) after a baseball game in the summer in all the right ways. Im not a huge vino, so I cant speak to how their selection stacks up for the real experts, but there were options for many budgets. There were some 12 dollar bottles even. They have menus for food that can be delivered or you can bring your own if you want to sit and eat there. Well definitely be back!
We discovered SPiLL while waiting for a dinner reservation down the street and it was a charming experience. The owners were friendly and knowledgable and lead your through an exploration of exclusive Italian wines. Were from out of town and we the next time we are in Pittsburgh, well definitely be back!
I love the variety of Italian wines from select Italian vineyards! I’m partial to the merlot and the sparkling rose ( like champagne🙂)! The atmosphere and helpfulness created by the owners is key in making it an enjoyable experience that highlights the history of Bloomfield and invites us to create our own little bit of history at this comfortable wine bar ... also you can bring your own food (BYOF)to accompany your choice of wines while dining here!
So we rode on motorcycles and just saw a sidewalk sign for a wine bar and stopped. We travel a lot professionally and for pleasure and this is a find. It is not pretentious, with great wine and a neighborhood feel: I felt at home! It is worth the stop, you wont regret it. Thank you Jim for the kind hospitality!
When discussing plans for Saturday, we decided that wed stop into SPILL, have a glass of wine and discuss where our ultimate destination would be. However, there would be no later destination.When I think (and I know Im not alone) about wine bars, Id immediately picture a pretentious atmosphere, and that was the furthest thing from reality. Upon walking in, we were greeted by Jim, one of the owners. He was friendly, introduced us to SPILLs concept and set the stage for wine tasting and purchasing.Jim explained the various regions of wines and asked us what styled we preferred... then brought us a few samples (generous in size so that you could actually experience them).Long story short... we ended up yuckin it up w/ Jim and his staff as we enjoyed a few glasses and had one of the most enjoyable experiences that weve had in awhile. The staff is very passionate and knowledgable... but more importantly, they provided a level of authenticity in their experience that should be the gold standard.If you appreciate trying something new, supporting locally owned businesses, and developing a relationship w/ an establishments staff... SPILL is a must visit.We will be back... and we look forward to introducing our friends.PS - several groups brought in their own food, which we will surely do the next time we visit.

The owners let you sample the wines before you buy them and they just have a wealth of information! They’re so fun to talk to. Such a great experience I definitely will be coming back to this place often.

2022-05-17Last night we had a private event at Spill and once again Robin and Jim did a terrific job taking care of 25 women. Their wine list is superb and the venue perfect for a Bloomfield respite. Highly recommend their product and service in da burgh. Thank you for a lovely night.

Thank you for your hospitality!

2021-05-31What a find!! This was the highlight of our group’s Sunday. Sam helped us taste a number of very appealing wines, is skilled and is a true delight. We had the pleasure of meeting two of the owners, Ralph and Robin, who were as interested in us as we were in them and their small-vineyard Italian wines. The atmosphere, friendship, and wines were a winning combination. You can BYOFood if you want. I can’t wait to return and will be telling my friends about SPILL.

2021-08-08This was our first experience at Spill - The Wine Bar. We saw them as the business next to Scoops. Since we’ve been vaccinated, we decided that it was time to patronize our local small businesses in person! We called The Pleasure Bar for our pasta dinner, then headed over to Spill to enjoy the Italian wine they offered in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh’s Little Italy. We were not disappointed! Sam, our sommelier, er, SAMmelier, was VERY personable and offered up 10 or so different wines to taste before we settled on our favorites: Casali Maniago Cabernet and the Danimi Rosato. Being rather extra, we brought our own tablecloth, dinnerware, and dipping oil to take full advantage of our evening out. We were not disappointed, and immersed ourselves in all things Italian! We highly recommend the wine tastings here at Spill. Choose your favorite wine and bring your favorite eats to enjoy!
