Guidebook for New York
Food Scene
Vinateria offers an inspired seasonal menu with influences rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Italy and Spain. The focus is on cuisine which utilizes as many organic and locally sourced ingredients as possible. Similarly, we have a wine list chosen from small producers, as well as an artisan cocktail and spirits program.
-This restaurant is moderately priced and is a good value for what it is worth.
-Great for dinner, but I also definitely recommend coming here for Brunch on Saturday or Sunday morning! They have great deals and Mimosas! Yum!

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in New York. Very authentic and delicious cuisine, also really cheap for such high quality food!! An adorable corner restaurant on Amsterdamn and 123rd street, this place has a cozy environment and a great selection of handmade pasta and fresh fish! Max SoHA is CASH ONLY so make sure to stop at an ATM either at the deli on the corner or there is a CitiBank on Amsterdamn a block away from the restaurant.
