Award-winning website, Punchin-dot-com, features the Walman Report and reviews of restaurants, travel, wine and theater. Vino, a charming new Tuscan wine bar, captures the culture of Italy. The partners Massimo Stocchi and Vito Mezzatesta, owners of the hugely popular Mediterraneo, joined with likeminded wine director Massimiliano Caldini, also from Florence. Together, the Italian trio, have created a casual yet sophisticated wine bar.
Fiascoes (authentic Italian wine bottles wrapped in rope) decorate the walls, creating an intimate, casual setting. Vino’s inviting space is full of personality and European charm with antique touches such as vintage chandeliers with Alabaster stone, ornate frames and lavish lamps that exude a seductive glow. A rustic bar, warm mahogany colored leather banquettes and floor to ceiling windows that open to sidewalk seating, evoke an authentic, lively Tuscan experience. Modern Italian music sets the scene and famous soccer matches and classic Italian films are showcased on a flat screen TV framed by the white Carrara marble walls.
The wine list, sourced exclusively from Italy, features familiar classics, as well as rare and more hard-to-find blends, inviting guests to awaken their palate and experience a variety of tastes widely unknown in America. The accessible list, with over 60 selections, showcases reasonably priced varietals such as Pomizzi Vernaccia di S. Gimigniano ($37), Terruzzi e Puthod Terre di Tufi ($49) and Sassalloro Supertuscan ($60). There is a diverse offering of 20 wines by the glass, starting at $4.
The menu of traditional ‘Tuscan’ bites, to linger over and savor, includes their signature Guazzetto melt in your mouth, while tender baby octopus Viareggio style that are sautéed and simmered in white wine and tomato sauce and served with toasted bread is one of the authentic regional specialties on the tegamini caldi (entrée) menu. The Lasagnette Di Carne offers the simple classic taste of lasagna Bolognese style complemented with a Béchamel sauce. In addition to the main courses, Vino offers stuzzichini (little plates) that include items such as the Crostoni Burro E Alici, marinated Italian anchovies with butter and toasted bread and Frittatine, a Florentine-style omelet with zucchini and red onions. Shareable assortments of warmed specialty focaccine and classic affettati options like Cacciatorini Toscani, Mortadella di Bologna and Finocchiona Toscana that pair beautifully with formaggi selections such as Pecorino Toscano, Latour and Brunette, are also available. The dessert menu offers such tempting choices as bread with red wine, Tiramisu Fatto In Casa (home made) and sugar or crisp peaches drawn in red wine.
Vino, 1268 2nd avenue, (between 66th & 67th Streets) is a delightful addition to the New York dining scene and rates A Minor on the Walman Report.
