Tarallucci E Vino Upper West Side

Neighborhood treasure. I love coming here for lunch. Every day they have a new soup. They are always delicious and dairy free. Service is the best. Bruno always makes you feel like the only guest in the restaurant no matter how many people are there. Ihave never been for dinner but friends tell me the fish is delicious.

Had an incredible experience at the bar with Martina, our Italian extraordinaire. If you want an authentic Italian wining and dining experience, sit at the bar and let Martina guide you through a true authentic experience. From her knowledge of theregions with the wines to the seasonal flavors of the menu, we can?t recommend enough!

Good food and good wine selection. I was a little surprised they were out of chardonnay when I visited. The grilled octopus is to die for.

The food was very good and loved that they offered indoor AND outdoor seating. I ate inside as it was humid outside, but with that said it was still warm inside (I suspect because I was seated near the door which was kept open for ease of access for thewait staff between the indoor and outdoor guests). It was also very loud inside both loud music which made surrounding tables(and mine) talk loudly too so we could hear each other. LOVED that there was table seating and not chairs. As a larger/plus sizeperson I worry about small booths and seating options. The chairs outside appear to be metal and fairly sturdy. The chairsinside were a bit flimsier, the typical hollowed wood bistro styled chairs. But with that said, my chair was wobbly and even soit did hold together just fine and I wasn't panicking that it would break through the meal so we good. Wait staff was friendlyand the bill was wonderfully portioned out by seat so we could easily split the bill among the party. Would love to see what itis like eating outside in the autumn when the weather is a bit cooler.

Ordered tortino di melanzane, absolutely wonderful. Warm and reminded me of Egyptian food. A great pasta option, but not if you want a traditional pasta dish. Inexpensive for 2 people and great atmosphere. The only cons were that the bread came a bit cold and they don't have any light desserts. Otherwise, absolutely fantastic.
