About

V2 Wine Bar and Trattoria by Vernon is a popular Downtown eatery. We offer small plates, burgers & paninis, salads and handcrafted pizzas baked in an 800-degree stone hearth oven that takes just three minutes to cook. We also offer an extensive wine selection offered by the glass or by the bottle.

Vernon Cesta, who owns Vernon’s Cafe in Niles, opened this second restaurant, located on the first floor of the Federal Building at the corner of West Federal and Phelps streets back in 2011.

The menu at V2 features many of the standards from Vernon’s Cafe, such as the meatball salad, calamari and hot peppers and oil. We can also boast that we offer many craft beers on tap, including Magic Hat, Yuengling, Rust Belt and Kentucky Bourbon Ale. We have 21 other craft brews available, along with 18 imports, a near-full slate of domestics and 11 specialty martinis.

So the next time you are in Downtown Youngstown, stop over and give us a try! You’ll be glad you did.
