Rated as one of the NYC's Best Wine Bars by ZAGAT SURVEY, In Vino offers a cozy cave-like atmosphere, knowledgeable service, and well over one hundred unique and unusual wines culled from all over Italy. We are also known for our authentic, rustic Italian fare. Our meatballs and lasagna are among the best in the city, and our porcini ravioli in a truffle cream sauce can’t be beat. Check out our seasonal specials and our list of artisanal cheeses. Sundays also bring in a crowd for our select list of half-price bottles, and Mondays bring in cheeselovers for our $1 per slice night!

"Great vibe and great wine. Didnt try any of their food (even though I had to star it due to open table rules - bit silly) but will do next time."

"The owner of this place is usually our waiter and I love that. He knows everything about his menu and clearly loves his job. Both times we have dined here, he selected meats and cheeses for our charcuterie as we were having a tough time choosing. He was also really great at suggesting wines. And the pasta we had was amazing. This place is a gem."

"The menu is limited as is the actual space inside the restaurant but that is ok for the village. The food was good however, the portions are rather small. It is not a place to dine if you are very hungry."

"I sent a glass of wine back after taking one sip. I ordered something else in its place. I was surprised the restaurant charged me for both glasses of wine. The food was ok. My ravioli was really dry. After reading all the positive reviews I was disappointed."

"In Vino was a romantic, very cool little Italian restaurant with a great wine list. The food is outstanding and the service very friendly and casual. We were obviously out of towners and they made us feel like we dropped in from next door in this charming East Village neighborhood."

"In Vino is a small Italian restaurant with great food, good wine selection and comfortable decor. The inside is very simple and feels a bit like you are eating inside a cave. Everything I have had from In Vino has been delicious from appetizers to dessert. The servers know their wines and can recommend something to compliment your meal and personal tastes. Service is usually top notch, the last time I was there it was slightly slower but still good. Overall, this is a stand-up restaurant that never disappoints."

"Its a nice little restaurant, although I didn't think there was anything spectacular about it. That being said, it also seemed a little over priced. Food portions were on the small side. I had the pumpkin ravioli, which was good but I have had better. The servers were good."
