"Ernesto’s has been pumping out gildas and our favorite basque cheesecake since it opened in 2019. Bartolo, the team's second restaurant in the West Village (just a few blocks south of the Village’s Little Spain area), is inspired by Madrid—though there will still be some Basque classics on the menu. Expect things like oxtail braised in red wine, ajo blanco with melon, plenty of jamón options (including one with pan soplao), and a bleeding rare txuleta, alongside a 250-bottle list of Spanish wines, vermouths, and sherries." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
