In Vino

In Vino - Recommended
215 E 4th St (btw Ave A & B)
New York, NY 10009
(212) 539-1011

I don't often plug Italian joints, but this place is an exception.
In Vino literally is a "hole in a wall", but it works. Heavy on the Italian wines, this place is the perfect neighborhood "cozy" restaurant.
The moment you walk in, you feel like you are in a cave... a very romantic cave that is.
The staff is very hospitable and they will do what it takes to make sure you are having a good time.

Bring that special girl here and you're sure to be well rewarded later that evening.

The food was pretty good. The wine was great. The atmosphere and service puts it over the top.
You can tell the chef wants to use the best ingredients the neighborhood can afford. In Vino has a great vibe to the place and I will definitely go back to spend a relaxing Saturday evening there.

Here are some of the dishes my party and I had Wednesday night.

- Charcuterie Platter (Prosciutto, Mortadella, Speck, Braseola)
- Carpaccio
- Fried Artichokes
- Meatballs












Here is a great bottle from Sicily.
Montenero 2002
A really big red. Tons of Black Currants and Tobacco. Velvetty on the palate.
60% Nero d’Avola
20% Merlot
20% Cab
