Great for large groups, birthdays and new friends. Try the pastas, lobster risotto and tuna carpaccio. Portions are perfect for sharing, like you actually get food, and the staff is super friendly

Italian food, Spanish setting. Wouldn't call it a tapas bar but the food is good and the wine includes many Italian varieties. Nice cozy atmosphere too. Definitely try the cheesecake and tuna tartare!

Great selection of wines & charcuterie. Arugula salad is simple & fresh. Octopus crostini is a larger serving. Lamb lollipops are cooked perfectly. Do without spicy artichokes.

Super cute yet boisterous restaurant which has been around forever with amazing food and cheap wine. We had the octopus, boar ragu which is best in the winter not summer, the ravioli is excellent!
Paige CJuly 13, 2015
The food here is unbelievable! We ordered about 20 dishes for 8 people and it was the perfect amount. Don't miss the pastas or the Brussels sprouts!

I was directed here because Cotenna was full, they have the same menu. Come with a friend and share an appetizer, two pastas, and a bottle of wine. I love the tagliatelle bolognese ($14)

Really good service, try the burrata and the crab &a shrimps crab cakes, really good! I wasn't super impressed by the mains we asked for but they were delicious: trouffle gnocchi & boar papardelle

Great menu of wonderful options ( plate for 10-16 dollars), delicious; i had the best ever pasta with wild mushroom + truffles. It was so good that i am going to be back. 100% recommended

Should you go here? The answer is a resounding yes. Wines are great, but the Venetian tapas for $11 and the pasta plates for $12 are even better. Linguine Vongole and grilled octopus not to be missed

Great place and wine bar; good for small groups. Try the burrata; the mushroom bruschetta; tortellini w/prosciutto. For dessert; tty the cheesecake!
HeenaJanuary 31, 2015
App: Mushroom bruschetta must. Artichokes were eh. Maccheroni Tartufo was great. Fettuccine with pesto good. Fettuccine with mushroom ehh. Penne ariabatta eh. Creme brûlée yes. Tiramisu no.

We loved the Roasted Red Beets and Herbed Goat Cheese Salad and the Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Speck. The Tagliatelle Bolognese was perfectly cooked. Everything was phenomenal.

Very cozy and warm atmosphere (can get loud). Get the eggplant goat cheese, lamb chops and the linguini with clams. Overall very delicious Italian food with awesome decor and service to match.

Great Wild Boar Risotto, Burrata, Grilled Octopus and all the small plates. Great wine list, really nice vibe and service.

The 1st time I was here it was great. Last I was back I was disappointed. Our waiter knew little about wine or serving etiquette. It's fine but it should not be in the 9's for ratings. Not impressed.
KeithOctober 25, 2017
Fantastic little restaurant. Excellent service and authentic Italian dishes. I’m not much of an Italian food fan but the eats here are all good! Does not disappoint.

The perfect meal: their special cheese of the day, grilled artichoke with roasted peppers, crabcakes with capers and mushrooms, grilled eggplants stuffed with goat cheese, and truffle mac n' cheese.
Justin FerrantiOctober 10, 2016
Great for a group birthday. Bit of a squeeze for larger groups but food is well worth it. The burrata and the octopus appetizer special are must-orders
Annie TolochinskiSeptember 16, 2014
I love this place. The food is great, try the carpaccio and Mac and cheese. Beware - the little carafes are not a deal, you're better off getting a glass or bottle.

Amazing atmosphere. Good for groups AND good for dates. Don't miss the Burrata special (which actually isn't special - they ALWAYS have it on the menu) and the San Daniele prosciutto.
Leanne ZFebruary 14, 2016
The two of us got four dishes. Everything was phenomenal, waiter happily gave suggestions. Braised boar pasta, octopus salad, lamb chops! Came at 9 on a Saturday night and waited for 25 minutes.
Mike NickersonOctober 11, 2016
In love with Aria - a fab place for group dinners in the west village. Tasty variety of pastas. The truffle Mac is bomb. Highly recommend!
Adam SachsMarch 24, 2012
Really fun atmosphere, try to sit at the two-sided bar. Among the best looking crowds of diners I've seen in a long time. Get a bunch of small plates and share. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

I've eaten here a number of times over the years and loved it. Tonight was such a disappointing experience. All our dishes, especially the lasagna and beet salad were both dripping in oil.
Jasmin HumeSeptember 21, 2013
If you're there with with more than 6 people, you can get unlimited food and wine for 2 hours for $65/person. Food is fantastic and totally worth it!
Lina AlmDecember 29, 2014
EVERYTHING... Great food, great wine, even better service... My favorite place!!! Max & Francesco are the best!!
Kim FAugust 18, 2014
This is where you go when you want charming, gorgeous atmosphere paired with excellent small plates of Italian tapas and a decent soundtrack
Brigitte PerezFebruary 15, 2016
Small cozy spot. Affordable plates. Very busy on weekends. Baked clams and the tortellini prosciutto were the stands outs. Lobster ravioli was lacking. Mac and cheese was salty.
Philip CaspariMay 20, 2014
Amazing little place, serving sensational tapas and vino! Always books out so make sure to book in advance! Octopus salad is a must
KerrynOctober 26, 2016
Great atmosphere, lovely staff, tasty food. A+. I had the mozzarella salad and mac & cheese. Truffle oil made it. YUM!

There's always a burrata and prosciutto special, and you should always plan on ordering it.
Erica FinleyMarch 10, 2013
Ask for Lawrence. Order wine. Then start with the prosciutto. Then enjoy literally anything on the menu. The end.
Inna PenekDecember 17, 2013
Cute interior, wonderful sage-ey ravioli, filling mac and cheese with truffles, great eggplant and goat cheese appetizer, and attentive staff.

Tempranillo is where it's at. Also, don't sit in the communal table in the middle, it's too loud and you won't be able to hear the person across from you.

Don't be confused by the name, you're here for the food. Not requiring reservations, this cozy Venice-style tapas restaurant is a little-know favorite by locals with a stunning interior.
Chris EvansAugust 31, 2015
Try the various soft Italian cheeses (I forget the name) with a nice bottle of red. The atmosphere is really cozy while still being lively. 🍷🍷🎶
Natalie VAugust 21, 2016
Basically the same menu as Cotenna. Reasonably priced pasta and everything is delicious! Lobster ravioli is a favorite.
Marissa SolomonAugust 19, 2012
Truffle mac n cheese is delicious. Figs and meatballs are delicious along with burratta special
CharlottesNovember 2, 2015
Excellent wine by the glass and creamy burrata atop generous bed of prosciutto. Heaven on Friday afternoon!
SecondMarketJune 7, 2012
We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and enjoying the amazing lasagna and wine. Loved the free glass of prosecco at the end of the meal!
Nour HaddadJanuary 18, 2015
Very nice atmosphere. Wine choice was good. Food was excellent. Very warm and friendly staff. Good for friends
Peter BoyceJune 28, 2015
Perfect spot for groups. Great Italian cuisine and unlimited wine.
Elin Sofie LorvikSeptember 2, 2016
My favorite spot for wine and food in NYC. Go there, have anything on the menu, all is good :)
Jeff SolomonOctober 1, 2017
Ambiance is quite nice in this small wine bar. Wines by the glass could be improved and it would be better if they served in real wine glasses instead of water glasses
Eduardo GodinhoMarch 31, 2017
Very good surprise. Come looking the grades here and the options of wine and food is very very good
New York PRDecember 24, 2015
You don't need to order several things per person. Pollo Arrosto, Penne Pesto and the Spaghetti Polpette were entree-sized servings.
PierreAugust 25, 2012
Try the grilled octopus dish. It is absolutely surprising and delicious. A very hearty grilled octopus with just the right amount of char.
Antoine MoreauOctober 2, 2017
Around a large shared table, tasty dishes (the lobster risotto is a favorite) and friendly service.
Agnė ŠopytėJune 23, 2017
Amazing food and wine! Very nice atmosphere. We had a wonderful time😊👍🏻
NicoleJanuary 7, 2015
People aren't messing around about the burrata. Order it. Everything is amazing, however. And great prices.
