You often hear foreigners say that they couldn’t live in NY because they would miss part of their lifestyle, particularly the food… Well, if there is one thing you can’t complain about in NY, it’s the food! For the Italians, a taste of home is around the corner at Gottino… heaven on earth!
This wine bar takes you on a culinary trip around Italy, serving you the finest Italian wines, obviously, but also delicious small plates of various hams, cheeses and other local delicacies…
Just to give you an idea of how good it is, note that Jody Williams, the chef of this little -Michelin recommended, “gastroteca,” started her career at Il Buco… So if you are looking for the perfect place to have drinks and a bite… Look no further!
Note that they have the cutest garden in the back- ideal in the summer!
GOTTINO is located 52 greenwich avenue (bet 10th street and 7th avenue). Tel 1 212 633 25 90 Check out their great blog for more info
