I've been lucky enough to visit a few time now, and it really is a phenomenal happy hour. Tavolino is on the corner of Skyline and Campbell, across the street from La Encantada. The restaurant has some killer reviews on Yelp, and I can see why.
There's a swanky atmosphere at this restaurant- dim lighting, a nice inside bar, an outside patio area, and attractive waiters. Happy hour is served in the bar area as well as on the patio. They have a nice menu of wine (sparkling, white, and red) for 5-6 dollars and beer for 3. If you're looking for hard alcohol during happy hour this is not the place.
The food menu boasts some great deals, pizza and assorted Italian bar snacks starting at $5, and salads starting at $4. I love a happy hour where you can get a full meal for cheap, and this is definitely one of them.
I've had the margherita pizza, the farinata, the cheese board, and the arancini. The pizzas are definitely enough for two, and if you want the most bang for your buck, this is the way to go. The farinata are garbanzo bean fries, and while the texture takes a bit to get used to, the truffle oil flavor is delicious. The cheese board is good, but isn't a large portion, and I wouldn't suggest getting it at happy hour. The arancini are awesome, who ever invented the idea of stuffing mozzarella into balls of risotto was a genius. It's my favorite dish on the happy hour menu.

I suggest checking out Tavolino's happy hour if you haven't already. Delicious food at great prices, it goes until 7 (2 hours to booze after work), and wine galore.
