Italian nibbles, wine, and cocktails in a stylish, relaxed spot
























"Bar Sardine is a very small West Village spot that tends to fill up, so if you grab a seat at the bar, people probably won’t notice that you’re dining solo (not that it matters). The burger is one of the best in NYC, with BBQ mayo and little shoestring fries on top - and the cocktails are excellent as well." - bryan kim
"This Italian wine bar feels like a thumbnail version of its sister restaurant, L'Artusi, and it’s a wonderful place to have a cocktail or a glass of wine while you share a few small plates with a friend or date. The menu is mostly geared towards snacking, with options like fluke crudo, arancini, and a burger with tomato jam and guanciale." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus

"The kale Caesar ($17) at B’Artusi, sibling restaurant to fancier L’Artusi, boasts a nice crunch from the toasted walnuts and garlic croutons. Adding chicken for $7 is a pro move for the diner who wants to really fill up on this nicely Parmesan’d salad." - Kris Kornbluth

"As one of L’Artusi’s sibling restaurants on Hudson, B’Artusi sits nearby and is part of the same local group." - Melissa McCart

"Soft and chewy (yet crispy), the arancini ($14) at B’Artusi are the perfect snack to have with a glass of wine and a friend." - Eater Staff
