Best wine bar/small plates in NYC
Just visited from the west coast and found this hidden jewel in the LES. Not only is the wine selection amazing but the bottle markup is much more reasonable than any Italian list I have seen out west. The food was on point and portions are perfect for myself and my guest to try several items. I particularly enjoyed the Gnocchi which were the smallest I've ever seen and perfectly cooked. Cant wait to go back and try it again!!

not bad for a first start!
went there because my friend knew the chef. found the atmosphere hip modern but not overly annoying. food was on average good, a little too heavily dominated by pasta for a small plates menu for my taste. most of the pastas were real tastey fresh. favorite was tajarin and rissoto. most dishes a lil heavy on the salt. some of the better pasta i have had outside italy. a little pricey for what you get in terms of quantity. interesting and tasty wine selection. i looked later and saw they normally have 2 course entree which was not offered when we were there so i am not sure wassup with that. overall would check out again as it is brand new and see what evolves.
