The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013A cute, but tiny, wine bar in Midtown East - an area that could use more places like this. This is our go-to date spot, with a vast wine list and great tapas to share. We love the margherita pizza!
Simran DassMarch 22, 2023I like this place a lot! I had my birthday party in their back garden & the service was exceptional. The food & wine are also great - I would definitely come back
Anusha PachunuriJanuary 19, 2019We got the Marinara pizza. I actively hate marinara sauce but they proved me wrong. So good! I'm already thinking abt the next I'm going to be here! Lovely ambience too, cozy!
Elizabeth BichevaApril 10, 2017Got here at 22.51, place is actualy closing at 23.30. But zero regrets. Nice ambience, good service, cozy and of course good wine!!
I like the bubbly. I like the old skool credit card machine.- Retro always feels right!! Food to be discovered next time because its not a one time visit kind-of-place.
Affinia Hotel CollectionFebruary 17, 2014This wine bar located just steps away from the Affinia 50 features over 50 bottles of wine on its rotating wine list, as well as a number of delicious traditional Italian food items.
Jeffrey WootenSeptember 14, 2013Quaint spot away from the grind of the 53rd St. bars. Bartenders know their wine varietals. So if you don't see what you like, describe & they will get you sorted. Neighborhood place, very casual.- Jenny TAugust 14, 2014Casual neighborhood spot with an ambience that is surpassed only by the wonderful staff members who are so friendly and willing to help with whatever they can. GREAT WINE LIST!!!!!
Christine ShepherdOctober 27, 2012Super cute wine bar to go with a girlfriend or on a date. Lots of great wine to choose from. Food a little pricey, mozzarella was fresh and worth it. Small place and fills up fast.
Zlata ZubenkoDecember 5, 2017Fantastic wine and food, lovely interior, moderately priced... It has a romantic vibe but the extremely loud environment kills it :(
Maneesh NJanuary 18, 2015Fun wine bar in the area. Staff is great and didn't charge me for the glass of wine I had at the bar before sitting down at a table. Great date place too!
Kristof PersoonsMay 16, 2015Amazing place: great food, great selection of wines, very friendly staff and a really cosy setting. Loved it!
GO HERE.I know it's tiny,but the tapas(esp:prosciutto-topped mac&cheese!) is TO DIE FOR. plus, the wine list is phenomenal. I've been here 4 times and am always ready to go back. tip:GREAT date spot!
Shana JordanMay 14, 2014One of my favorite places in the city! Well worth the wait! Enjoy the garden in back and make sure to save room for the Mac and cheese!
Emmanuel H LOctober 27, 2014Cute little bar for a gathering of friends. Food was good but id like to try something other than the pizza. Staff was VERY friendly and attentive 😁
Pizza is fantastic! Spinach dip is the best in the city. The staff will pick the perfect wine for you if you tell them what you like. This place is now my go to place for dates and intimate gatherings
Anna McPheeOctober 25, 2019Amazing service and wonderful atmosphere! Definitely recommend for small groups/dates/catch ups with a friend
Paige CMay 25, 2021Beautiful outdoor setup - feels like you’re in Italy. Very attentive service and delicious red wines.
Jason GelmanJanuary 25, 2013Great date spot for the area. Solid wine list, helpful bartenders, good vibe- Order the Prosciutto mac n' cheese with the buffalo cheese and sea salt! Order it with some red wine and you're good to go!
Mark RMarch 17, 2010Great wine spot, laid back low lit atmosphere, even if u know nothing about wine the staff there can usually guide you to a wine you will like. DON'T go with a big group 2-4max is perfect # of people.- Amelia TidonaDecember 2, 2021Loved the ricotta/pepperoni/mike’s hot honey pizza. Cute, cozy wine bar!
Lisa VignaOctober 26, 2013Legit wine bar. Love Leo and Jeremy! I'll be back for more sipping and swirling, Great pizza too!
Peter TJune 21, 2022Outside seating is pleasant as E 50th isn't too busy. Good wine list and great honey/pepperoni pizza!
Willie ChinAugust 17, 2013Try a Marguerite pizza with smoked pancetta, onions and arugula with a glass of Angela Pinot Noir (Oregon)...superb!!!
Revising my tip: Caramere wine, prosciutto mac and cheese, and the fancy buffalo cheese with sea salt-- FTW!
Beka CJanuary 28, 2016extensive wine list but most unimpressive wines curated for the cost; food is ok. draw here is the intimate ambience and wine-centric bar
ValerieJanuary 8, 2015Great wine list. The meat and cheese plate is mostly meat not much cheese which is odd. Still good though.
Edgar MaveDecember 30, 2019Delicious, wine and food. Perfect formula = Macaroni with prosciutto + Pizza Marinara + Cascina Boschetti + excellent service
Fernanda SolarJuly 5, 2018The wine list is aceptable, they lack regions that right now have amazing wine production. The food was nothing amazing, and the waitress had bad attitude.
Frankie BuckleJune 9, 2013They play the best music here :) the wines, pizzas and staff are pretty cool too!
GambrelleApril 21, 2013Wonderful selection of wine. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. Food is good too!
✨Pun Bandhu ✨March 24, 2013Best pizza in the neighborhood. Great wine selection, cozy ambience, friendly, knowledgable staff.
johanna marielNovember 30, 2016Amazing wine and friends-Leo, Richard, Tommy, Tomaso, Toni and co. are a blast and the sweetest-a must visit for wine and tapas!
Jill GaynorOctober 25, 2012Amazing. The longer you stay, the more free wine they force on you. New favorite spot.
SerenaMarch 14, 2013an oasis of candlelight, legitimate wine and solid small plates amidst the wasteland of midtown.
House made mozz and amazing wine list. Staff is always friendly too!!
Sarah ElizabethJuly 12, 2013Amazing! I tried the vast majority of the menu and everything was great!
Always a nice treat to have a drink here and chat with the very knowledgable staff.
