Located on the historic stretch in Harlem, Vinateria is an upscale neighborhood restaurant with cozy vibe created by soothing slate tones with darker edges, a large chalkboard wall with daily specials, and rows of tiny bistro tables. There is also a spacious outdoor space on the sidewalk, filled to capacity on warm evenings when watching passers-by is such fun while enjoying an after-work cocktail with friends. The cuisine is Italian-Spanish inspired, with Executive Chef Carmen Gonzales creating her own interpretation. People keep coming back for her Provolone-stuffed meatballs served with Manchego polenta, or her grilled octopus with crispy potatoes. Guests can enjoy watching their dishes being prepared in the semi-open kitchen. Vinateria has extensive wine selection and a large range of interesting cocktails made with house-made syrups, fresh produce, and herbs grown on the restaurant windowsills.
