"The founding chef of Gottino was Jody Williams, she of Buvette and Via Carota fame, and her menu is still largely in place. Gottino is a wine bar with a wonderful backyard, in fact you may feel like you’re sitting the backyard of your own townhouse. The wines are mainly Italian, with many by-the-glass selections, and reasonably priced; the food runs to salads, dips, duck confit, salmon filet, a rabbit pot pie, and best of all, a cod-and-potato brandade served with sourdough toasts." - Eater Staff
