Editorial Overview
Candles, high ceilings, a minimalist design palate, and dim lighting make this Tribeca emporium a contemporarily gothic, yet romantic setting where an artsy, well-to-do local crowd relishes Italian wine. Peruse a handheld menu of Italian wine, meats, and cheeses from the streamlined leather banquette extending the length of one side of the room, or take a seat at the bar across the room, from where you can easily gaze up at the large chalkboard menu. If you just absolutely adore that glass of Nero d'Avola, purchase it nextdoor at Vino Vino's wine boutique, separated only by a glass wall that divides its way across the whole establishment. Sipping a glass of Vernaccia from one of the banquettes while watching the retail action occurring across the wall makes the place feel a bit like a chic psych ward, but you're more likely to be amused by watching the wandering oenophiles than you would be staring at another brick wall. With so many offices in the area, it's best to hit Vino Vino for an after work drink, unless you want the place all to yourself in the later hours of the night. |
