Vinatería 2211 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan, New York,

"Date Night, Anna was my host. She was very sweet and attentive. Atmosphere: Calm, slightly romantic. It definitely gets crowded and busy. Slightly tight to move around. Food: Veal meatballs were amazing. Smooth , light, the sauce was amazing. Polenta fries were slightly salty Bacalao Croquettes were amazing !! Very light, crispy moist in texture. Drinks: Matador - I ordered 2 and baby I almost made a baby lol."

"Three of us had dinner at Vinateria on Sun, Nov 12/23 - reservation was for 4, but we had a last-minute cancellation. While the restaurant was busy, it wasn't noisy so we could actually have a conversation! Service was attentive; portions were generous; and food/beverages (Formaggi, Black spaghetti, Spinach lasagna, Burrata e prosciutto, Farro salad & Creme brulee; Cava, Pinot noir & Botanical cider. Crusty, moist bread that we received shortly after being seated was also wonderful) were delicious. Pictures here don't do the food justice."

"When we arrived for our reservation time they sat us right away. When seated we were given bread for the table. AMBIENCE Went on a Friday at 8 left around 11 pm and the restaurant never really got full inside, but our door seating seemed at capacity. Wonderful indoor and outdoor seating. This is definitely a date night spot OR a nice place to go out and have dinner with friends. I’d recommend you be dressed nicely since that seemed to be the overall vibe. There were many couples throughout the night. FOOD/PROS Everything we ordered was delicious! The food ordered included: lamb lasagna lamb chops roasted half chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach Bronzino stuffed w/ spinach Drinks were good too! CONS Only complaint was slow service. Drinks took forever to come even ordered and there only seemed to be one waiter for the inside and outside."

"We had a 6pm reservation for 11 of us and I arrived about 30 minutes ahead thinking that the parking would be difficult. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to find parking. We were seated right away by a very helpful gentleman who took a wonderful picture of us outside the restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food was very tasty. Great job."

"I am beyond impressed with this restaurant. Specifically, I was super impressed with how attentive their outdoor staff were for the private dining "pods" as well as how good the happy hour specials were. My friend and I split some oysters, mac and cheese, brussel sprouts, these little fish ball things which were super good, and some veal meatballs. This is definitely going to become1 of my regular outings for oysters. I highly recommend this gem."
