In Vino Veritas

"This place is great. Someone walked me through the options and made a recommendation. Super fast, easy, and lovely. Would recommend."

"Easily the best wine store in the neighborhood, and if I may say in whole Manhattan. Remarkable worldwide selection, amazing European and especially Italian labels. The staff is very knowledgeable, and actually able to advise in the matter of both food pairing and fine gifting whenever you need to. I’ve been recommending them left and right. Also, thank you so much for the “contactless” service implemented during covid-19, even though I miss browsing the bottles inside the store, it makes me feel safer knowing that there are not strangers touching stuff all around the store!"

"Best wine store in the city. The Rottura family and their staff are amazing people, and make everyone feel comfortable in their store. One of the proprietors, Gianluca Rottura, is a gentleman with encyclopedic knowledge of gastronomy and wine. He is also one of New York's last real characters so worth a visit for a chat. Exceptional store!"

"I have lived in the area for 6+ years and up until now I would recommend this store. It had been a few months since my last visit so I asked the male cashier what was their card minimum. I was then asked where I lived, if I was “in the neighborhood” and I felt immediately uncomfortable as a single woman, this should not factor into your credit card limit. Long story short they have a 2 bottle card minimum, you’re better off going a few blocks up or downtown. Honestly will not be going back :/"

"In my experience, no other store can hold a candle to this one; it has style, beauty and an inviting atmosphere. The staff is amazingly knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and – always a plus in my book - have a great sense of humor."
