    We enjoyed the live music and ambience. The wine tasting was delicious and a bargain. The Brie and pepperoni pizza were a hit. This is an excellent choice for a date night.

    We had a reservation- ordered a pizza and other food ( I know it takes a while due to oven)- waited about 40 min., pizza was burnt! Our waiter stayed at the table because he knew how bad it was— I told him isn’t it a little burnt— to which he replied “Yeah, even our manager noticed!” Yikes! Then why serve it! We were told we could wait 15 more minutes for a new pizza— sooo why had it been about an hour before! The place is gorgeous- I understand people go for the wine not food— but the above(1st world problem) dampened the mood. Do I recommend it for a date night / night out, ehm yeah… just make sure to eat before you go!

    I enjoyed visiting In Contrada overall. First thing to know, the atmosphere here is really the biggest selling point in my opinion! The vineyard is beautiful and it’s a very romantic place. The food is okay… It’s definitely not the best pizza or appetizers around. But I do believe it’s worth it for the vibes! It feels like you’re in Fredericksburg but you’re only about 15 minutes out of main San Antonio. Our server was also super nice! But unfortunately, our pizza took literally forever. In our experience, we went for trivia and didn’t get our pizza until the very end of trivia. The server was really nice and ended up comping of the pizzas for us! Again, that’s very appreciated. But just know that there may be longer times with your food, especially when it’s really busy. Overall, cool and unique place to go every now and then!

    Hi Sarah, Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to leave us your honest feedback. As a small, family-owned business, we value all feedback from our guests. We apologize for the long wait time for your pizza. We look forward to our kitchen expansion being complete and having the ability to increase our output and decrease wait time for food when it gets busy. Until then, we do experience longer wait times on occasion and are doing our very best to remedy that. We hope to see you all again soon for our future events like Music Bingo and our November Murder Mystery Party. We do advise guests to arrive a little before the events to place food orders, so if you do happen to visit us again for an evening of fun, we would definitely suggest this to you. Cheers!
