The 12 Best Spanish Restaurants in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Have one bite of Cervo’s prawns a la plancha, shell on, swimming in a pool of paprika-stained olive oil, and we wouldn’t blame you for mistaking Dimes Square for the Mediterranean coast. A few things to know—the restaurant is from the same owners as The Fly, who also own their own fish tinning company, the menu is seasonal, and it's best to reserve a table a week ahead or walk in early. If it’s a nice night, ask to sit outside. Go ahead and order an extra glass of vermouth to go with the creative small and large plates, like crunchy fried shrimp heads, perfectly steamed manila clams, or juicy piri piri chicken with fries and aioli." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
