Gottino Enoteca e Salumeria

My experience at Gottino was very good. It’s a great place to have a conversation — calm, charming, and perfect for a date. It’s not noisy, which makes it even more enjoyable. This bar serves only beer and wine (no cocktails). We ordered some olives with our drinks, which were nice. I recommend it if you’re looking for a chill, quiet spot to have a drink before dinner. Prices are “normal” for NYC, though a bit on the expensive side.

Delicious Italian small plates in a cozy West Village spot. We came in on a Sunday night for dinner and got a table for 3 people without any problem. We tried 2 crostinis, the white fish and the brussel sprouts salad. We particularly enjoyed the crostinis. The staff was so friendly. Looking forward to coming back and sitting in the garden!

super cute. such reasonable prices and lovely vibe. great food and not too busy! go here if you want to have a calm night and escape the city’s chaos and too busy restaurants. wine, olives and cheese with a book is great here on a wednesday.

Have been trying to find an authentic Italian wine bar after coming back from Italy & this one is perfect. Cutest backyard with very chill vibe. Great wines on the menu as well as apperetivo. Lasagna was awesome & so was the prosciutto crepe. Judy was very knowledgeable about the wine menu, can’t wait to come back!!

Stumbled across this place before a dinner reservation for a quick drink. A lovely dark intimate feel, cant wait to come back with my husband or small group of friends to try the food.

Highly recommend this cosy and very intimate place, for drinks and a chill time with your friends or partner. The staff is super sweet and professional, they will make you feel at home. Food is delicious the lasagne and crespelle were my favs!

Cozy, candle lit bar, with the most delicious mulled wine for fall/winter. We love it here!

THANK YOU JOSH FOR BEING SUCH A NICE SOUL. We loved our romantic evening and your beautiful manners 🫶🏼

Unsuspecting perfect quick breakfast spot! Perfect eggs made using the espresso machines boiling water tool, the freshest meat, and wonderful grated Parmesan. Ate at the bar, in and out in 20 minutes, so marvelous!!

Excellent wine bar with delicious Italian food options in a romantically lit Village bar. Seating is first come first served and definitely gets packed in the late nights but when we arrived at 8:30 on a Saturday there was an open table for 4. We ordered two bottles of wine and a dozen small plates. Anything with pesto is phenomenal. Their cheese selection is great! The crusty bread.and fresh ingredients really elevate the menu items. We loved the gorgonzola dip, pesto di Noci, pesce al cartoccio, cavoletti e Pecorino, lasagna Bolognese. The food is shareable and priced fairly so you can order many things. Gottino definitely prioritizes quality over quantity which we all appreciated. Their outdoor space is also well lit and a pleasant getaway in nice weather.

Came here on a whim really to just use the bathroom while walking thru the city. It was so cute and quaint inside that we decided to stop in and grab a glass of wine. We were pleased with the selection of Italian wines. While I'm Not as familiar as I would like to be with Italian wines. The staff helped out offered suggestions. The ambiance is very dim and quaint with very little seating which is a nice change from the crowded bars nearby. This place is easy to miss but thank goodness we found it. We went back again a few weeks later and tried some of their bites. Now I wouldn't go here starving or having a full meal here but they have some bites to have that go well with the wine. We tried the sardines, octopus salad, and I had the crostini with fig and ricotta. All were very good! Definitely will be back. I adore the low key ambiance. The times we went weren't too crowded but I'm assuming they can get crowded.

We were hoping to love this place considering the menu selection and outdoor space but unfortunately this was not our group's experience. We sat outside and ordered several small plates along with a few cocktails per person. When we went indoors to order more, the staff became highly dismissive and inconvenienced, even resorting to raising their voice condescendingly at our group. The owner made our group feel extremely unwelcomed and ostracized as we clearly were not on brand with their target patrons. I doubt a potential customer will be dissuaded from visiting this establishment from this review, but in the off chance a staff sees it then I hope you're at least aware of how your insolence made our group feel. The simple act of raising our voice an octave or trying to take up space was enough to loudly ridicule us. Best of wishes moving forward. Pictured: The patio table, in which the owner described our group as 'making the biggest mess he has seen'. Mind you, we ordered 6 drinks, 2 crepes, 2 crostinis, and a farro bowl we had to self-arrange.

Dimly lit and chill ambiance. Great place for a date night with Italian wine and tapas. Gets busy during prime time. Service is friendly. No reservations.

Had some delicious red wine at this spot, and thank you to the super friendly (and patient) bartender!! I mentioned I was relatively new to wine and he was very quick to ask me some questions and make suggestions. Looks like they had nice bites, but didn't get to try them this time around! But super cute date night vibes, intimate and romantic!

Lovely wine bar with a delectable selection of small plates that will keep your taste buds entertained as you enjoy the open back garden with lots of shade. The curated selection of wines offers something for those wishing to remain in their comfort zone as well as those with more adventurous palates. We enjoyed the prosciutto toast (piled incredibly high with finely chopped Parma prosciutto, pecorino cheese and garlic), fresh figs and ricotta as well as a very well prepared grilled octopus on a bed of arugula and endives. Service was relaxed, yet attentive, complementing the atmosphere of the outdoor space. The indoor area offers an inviting bar, for those seeking a temperature controlled environ. Fantastic spot for a light meal and drinks, avoiding the overpacked tourist spots further back on Greenwich.

Food 4/5 Mushroom crepe x 2 They put it in a mini oven in eye sight at the bar (i not sure if there's a kitchen in the back) and pour the oil that leaked during baking on top of the crepe when it's done to serve it Chocolate mousse x 1 Decadent and heavy. It's good but it's not mousse. It's pudding Price 3.5/5 Small crepe Mousse was bigger All 3 items were $38 before tip Ambiance 4/5 Dim lit wine bar with an L shape marble top bar and that's the number of seats you get, the length of the marble slab Music was too loud for this setting Service 3/5 Friendly but very hard to get the attention of. Asked for the check 3x It was busy but not bustling Maybe music was too loud so the server cannot hear us? Cleanliness 4/5 I didn't use the bathroom so will leave it at a 4

I absolutely love this place. My go to spot when I want a chill night and a cute quiet place to hangout. Food and service is incredible as well!

Could've been a contender , but sadly lacking. Food is mediocre . The worst part is the service . Came as a party of one, was not welcomed at all. Guess they prefer larger parties, that's the vibe I got. Server Mauricio wasn't very friendly from the get go. I ordered white fish and potatoes In spicy tomato sauce. The entire dish was stuck to the parchment paper. Not to mention everything luke warm. I ordered dessert and she never put in the order . I was waiting for over 15 minutes. The garden is nice but sadly this place isn't that great. There's far too many other great places in NYC that have great food and welcome you. I tried it once, never going back.

Talk about a secret garden! This is the non-tourist, outdoor-seating version of Buvette. A gorgeous, shady garden is tucked away in the back, where tiny tables are topped with fluffy eggs, fresh and delicious prosciutto, and incredibly rich and decadent espressos. You could spend hours here and nearly convince yourself you're not in New York (sighhhh). So civilized in the thicket of overhyped brunch spots (Bluestone!) My one request: please, please OPEN BEFORE 11AM FOR BRUNCH. I'm young but I'm also old. I wake up early and do not wanna wait almost four hours for fluffy eggs. 5 stars!!!!!!

The ambiance is superb, a perfect calm haven after stressful workdays. The servers are phenomenal and so attentive, if I could I'd visit every day. Trust me when I say, La Tur is the best cheese on earth!!

What a nice find in the west village. We and seated in the back for some apps and drinks mainly. The place is small, but with character that was rustic, almost Old World European. My friends we were with said there was a nice patio in the back as well, and I would imagine would be nice in the summer. Our server was fine, and service was quick, but we weren't felt rushed at all and had a nice time relaxing in this casual ambience. We shared a bottle of the Pasquale Pelissero "Paqualin" Langhe Nebbilio red wine which was nice, and I had a sip of the Villa Sparina Cavi white which we ordered as well. But the stars were the crostini! I only remember the fig ricotta crostini which was good that we ordered more, and the walnut pesto crostini which was good as well. We had a side of I think it was a kind of blue cheese (not sure) which we used to make more. We didn't get to try anything else as we were on our way to dinner but I could definitely coming here to chill for a while for an after and evening of relaxing food and drink. Great neighborhood too by the way.

Stopped in here on a Wednesday prior to dinner at another spot. I loved it and will be back. It's a wine bar with small plates. The wines are great but they actually had a great beer available as well which I had. I got a hard cheese which came with grilled bread and a pesto that was fantastic. The prices are super reasonable and the bar tender was super friendly. She recommended the cheese to go with the beer I ordered and the combo was perfect. Highly recommended!

What a hidden gem in Greenwich Village! I came to this little wine bar on a Thursday night after work with two of my friends. It wasn't too crowded when we got there at 6 p.m. but it was packed once it hit 8. The waitress told us that she was understaffed at the moment since her other two coworkers were late, but the service was not affected by that at all for us, and we were perfectly content chitchatting and figuring out what to order in the meantime. We split a bottle of red (the Montepulciano option, which was very smooth), the Pesto di Parma crostini, and a meat and cheese board. The Pesto di Parma was absolutely delicious! The waitress was so nice since the crostini usually only comes with 2 pieces but she gave us 3 so we each could have our own. We then asked for her recommendations for the meat and cheese board and she helped us choose a variety of cheeses that matched the meats we wanted to get - we ended up choosing the Cacciatorini and the Mortadella meats with the Weincase Lagrein, Idiazabel, and Pecorino di Fossa. She also brought out slices of bread doused in olive oil to go with our meat & cheese board. The food was delicious and the service was great for how crowded it got. Highly recommend to try if you're in the area!

Mauricio was an amazing server! Great conversation and even better food and wine pairings! Highly suggest the pesto di Parma and a glass of the super Tuscan

The garden in the back is so cute! You don't even feel like you're in the city. It feels like you're in someone's backyard (in a good way). It's tranquil, and low key. Perfect for a date. Didn't try much food, but the wine and apps were impressive enough to make me want to go back.

Quiet little wine bar not far from where we had brunch so we did a casual stroll to this wine bar. The bar wasn't crowded when we came. There was barely anyone there actually. We sat in the back at a table near the stairs. The seating was a little awkward since it really didn't fit all of us and the stool was an inch from the stairs. Not ideal but we enjoyed the cozyness of the place. The wine was solid as well. We went with some nice red wines (Pictures show the names). The nero d'avola is my usual go-to and it didnt fail us this time. I would definitely suggest this as a date spot if you need one. Idk if there was food here but we didnt try it. I am not dying to come back here but it was a cool spot.

What a cute little place in the West Village. My friends and I were on the hunt for a chill, outdoor spot this past week since it was so nice out. We came in around 9:30 pm and it was certainly crowded but there was a table open in the back garden. We would have never known there was a garden if there wasn't a little sign on the front window. We had some of their delicious crostinis - they weren't huge, but very fresh and hit the spot if you're just looking for a snack while you are drinking. The wine prices were decent for NY and our waiter was a kind gentleman. No one rushed us and I found it to be a really great drinking/light dining spot in the WV. We didn't get any entrees but they looked very good...on the pricier side but I bet it's worth it. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Okay I may have just found my new favorite wine bar in the Greenwich village area. We stopped here for drinks around 9pm after dinner, it's the cutest spot. It's wine and beer only. We got some wine and a dessert to share, the Nutella mousse - it was delicious. I was bummed that they didn't have any room in the garden area, but hey gives me a reason to come back.

Loved coming to Gottino! This place has an amazing back patio where there are string lights hanging and it is honestly such a calm, nice escape from the bustling streets of New York. It's a perfect date spot and ver intimate setting. The food was incredible as well! Would definitely come back.

This was a favorite of mine for a while in the West Village. However after visiting last Friday I likely won't go back. Staff was incredibly rude, and for the most part acted as if I wasn't even there while they were almost EMPTY. The only attention I got from service staff was to ask if I wanted to order more, and whenever I said no, they literally rolled their eyes at me. Fuck you Gottino. Lol

Haven't been to a good brunch place in awhile and this was perfect. There's a cute backyard seating area. I got the scrambled eggs with lox (bottom of the menu). I would love to come back and try their wines. $13 for the brunch meal and I think there was a decent amount of lox. The toasted bread with the olive oil was really good too!! Would def come back- cute and quaint place. Not much of a line which is a total plus in this neighborhood.

A hidden gem in west village, with dim lit ambiance, tons of wine options, yummy hearty food menu, and a really sweet bartender who let me try like 4 types of wines while I was waiting for my friend at the bar. I liked the farro salad, the baked fish with spicy tomato (fyi its mild not spicy), and the arugula pesto crostini.

Charming find in West Village for a date. Gottino has an excellent selection of wines and small plates to sample from. It's hard to go wrong with whatever you pick, and it really feels like you need to come again to try more. I found the fish, and the crepes with prosciutto particularly excellent. We were lucky to have the whole backyard to ourselves: a lovely atmosphere with the warm lights, heating lamps, and fall leaves.

Great place for pre-dinner wine and cheese or post- dinner or late night. Excellent wine list and great for conversation

A quiet spot to come when every other place in the West Village seems overrun and overflowing with people. A great wine selection and subdued atmosphere with dim lighting and a cozy feel. On a Friday night there were spots at the bar and tables available toward the back of the restaurant. A perfect option if you are looking to escape the crowds and have a nice drink.

I was looking for outdoor dining in the west village with a fun menu. Someplace to go after work on the weekend, where I wouldn't have to dine on the street. This place has a nice garden in the back with a small plates menu. Everything was so delicious. The prosciutto crespelle (crepes) were so amazingly delicious. They had fontina cheese with the prosciutto, pretty much heavenly. We had 2 salads, some other plates and the artichoke on italian bread. Totally yum! Great drink, beer and wine selections too. An awesome find and reasonably priced!

I am trying and trying to delete this old review! This is my favorite place in nyc!! I only come here if I only have time for one place when visiting from sf! More to come

Someone please explain to me how Gottino can be utterly devoid of patrons on a leisurely Sunday morning for brunch... whilst Elephant and Castle, just steps away, has throngs of people waiting to even get in the door. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I don't know what Elephant and Castle is serving up, nor am I terribly inclined to find out. My past experience with Elephant and Castle is a tube stop in a dodgy neighborhood that I considered flyover country via public bus in London. This particular restaurant must be amazing to draw a crowd like that when delightful Italian bites are within line of sight. None of the dishes we ordered at Gottino could be considered anything less than tasty. But the real standouts to me were the crostini. Any of them. All of them. Take perfectly crusty bread, generously heap each slice with mounds of mouthwatering toppings, then splash some extra olive oil on for good measure. That's pretty much all you need to know. Although I expect they're meant to be light bites, it's stunningly easy to fill up on these morsels of savory satisfaction. Also, much like what I experienced in Italy (and pretty much all of Europe), they do coffee to-order with an espresso machine. If they have a drip, I didn't spot it. Which is just fine by me for a serviceable mug of joe. For coffee aficionados, you're going to want to look elsewhere. Or consider it an excuse to drink wine before noon. So, if anyone has the skinny on whatever they're dealing out of E&C, fill me in. In the meanwhile, I can't complain a whit that Gottino offers a peaceful and delicious start to a weekend morning, no wait required!

Really great spot for casual food & drinks. Not pretentious at all. Food is very flavorful. Vegetarian friendly. Not rushed and can take your time & talk at the bar

Gottino looks like an amazing place to have drinks with friends and catch up. As it was lunch time, we just ordered a few plates to share. Their wine menu looks pretty extensive though! We started off with an order of the Prosciutto Di Parma, aged 24 months and shipped in from Italy. This was served with a side of bread and olive oil. We both haven't had prosciutto in a while so this really hit the spot. We decided to go with two Crostinis - Pesto Di Noci, or walnut pesto with parmesan and thyme, and one with goat cheese, fig, honey and crushed almonds. The walnut pesto was okay - it takes a few bites before you get used to the flavor. The goat cheese, however, was super delicious. It was sweet and tart at the same time because of the honey and the fig. The crushed almonds contrasted nicely with the smoother texture of the goat cheese. Definitely give this one a try! 'Our last shared plate was the Steamed Egg served with Smoked Salmon. The steamed eggs were nice and hot when they arrived. It tasted pretty good by itself but it tasted even better when put on bread with salmon. The smoked salmon was very flavorful and very fresh. Service was attentive and on point. We received our dishes in a stacked manner so we weren't overwhelmed by food. They don't have a real kitchen so everything is prepared by the bar area.

The server was so amazing Saturday night. He went through all the cheese options and recommended a great wine. We got the 5 meats and cheeses with a bottle of wine for four people as we wanted to kill an hour. Really glad we ran into this cozy romantic spot!

Gottino is a great little wine bar in West Village! They had a great selection of meats, cheeses, and wines at what seemed to be reasonable prices. Most bottles were around $50 or so, and the ones we tried were excellent for their price. The best part about our visit was the friendly and knowledgeable staff that made sure our wine and charcuterie selection was perfect. We will be back!

The atmosphere here was pretty nice. There weren't that many tables, but there are seats at the bar just in case, and thankfully I was lucky enough be moved to an actual table not too much longer after I got here. I would have liked to check out their garden as it looked nice, but there was only one empty table and everything out there looked a bit cramped and crowded during peak hours. The lighting inside was very intimate and great for dates. The wine list was solid and filled with Italian wines. I was very pleased to see a $17 Barolo by the glass. I had the Barolo and the Sardegna, both of which were very great. Service though was incredibly slow and it took forever to get our orders and the check. I'd come back if I was in the area and wanting some wine but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

How can I describe Gottino? Perfect, classic, New York, quaint, sexy yet warm. I was introduced to the Greenwich Avenue gem, roughly four years ago by a friend who lives near by. Since then I have used this place for happy hours, first dates, birthday dinners, catch ups, seventh dates and much more. I even came here alone once to have their Lambrusco which I love and is hard to find. The atmosphere is charming and cozy (the backyard in the summer is just perfect), the bartenders and servers are always so friendly and knowledgeable. The meatballs, shaved brussel sprouts and braised rabbit pot pie are my favorites. They are always consistent and never let me down. Their crostinos are also delicious and great to share. Bring your mom, bring your date, bring you co-worker, bring your friend. You will not be let down.

The manager seemed to be in a bad mood but our server was wonderful. The food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with any crostinis, and the rabbit still has my mouth watering. Can't wait to come back for wine!

Came here in the evening on a weekday and ordered a few things between two of us (Fig & ricotta Crostini, Prosciutto du Parma, and the Octopus over Eggplant dish, and one more dish which I honestly forget). The food was just okay, nothing all that special. The prosciutto was just a bunch of meat served on a plate essentially, something that could have been prepared at home. The octopus dish was good but had far too much eggplant in my opinion, which ended up overwhelming the dish, although the eggplant was decent. Service was okay. Had slightly higher expectations for this spot

I will start by saying, I don't really want to give a negative review especially I have come here for years. But after 3 failed attempts to resolve the mistaken charge on my bill, I decided taking the matter to Yelp. I came in on a Thursday night two weeks back and ordered a quantino of wine, two apps. Food was good, vibe was even better, especially in the beautiful backyard. I paid the bill without carefully checking the number. Later on, I discovered there was additional $18 for a rose on my bill which I didn't order. I reached out to the restaurant right away and was told I need to stop by in person. So I did the following Tuesday. But again, the people working that day said I need to call, email or come by another time.....Frustrated,I tried to email the restaurant; got a bounce back. I even tried Facebook messaging. No reply either. Frankly, this is too much for getting back my $18. It is not about the money but customer services. I don't think I will come back here again.

Great wine and food. The server was attentive and nice. Sat outside in the backyard/garden which seemed lovely at first...that is until you notice that it's infested with mice (hence the three stars). Would be open to going back but sitting inside away from the mice.

I work a few steps away from Gottino, after a days shift coming here to unwind with an ice cold glass of wine is a must! -Cozy -Casual -Romantic They have great small plates menu, that includes cheese platters- my fave is the ricotta with figs. Great ambiance, lovely decor and friendly attentive service!

Came here for casual post-work drinks with a friend on a Thursday evening. The place was cozy, warm, and not super crowded - felt like we'd found a hidden gem! We each got two delicious glasses of red - you can't really go wrong here. We really enjoyed everything we tried. Also got a handful of crostini and some cheese. The crostini were SO GOOD and very filling! My only gripe about this place is that the bread that was served and that the crostini were made on isn't consistently warm/soft etc - not a huge deal, but I've had better. Worth a pop-in (or two, or three, or more....) for the ambiance, wine, and bites.

Great ambiance: sexy, calm, cozy, authentic. Date-worthy establishment. $13 glasses of wine may not be a cheap ticket to get into this money spot, but IT IS MONEY. MONEY.

Ambiance is intimate, romantic, and casual at the same time. It's the perfect spot for a date or catching up with a close group of friends. The crowd is a mix of the young and the old, hipsters, and just people. Gottino is not trying to be anything, no gimmicks, no overly designed feel. It's in a great location, just a bit away from the hustle and bustle of 14th street, so that it's quiet but also easily accessible. The wine is priced to the neighborhood (majority $12-14) and does show high quality Italian wine. I've been to other Italian wine bars, and somehow the selections there are just subpar. But Gottino has great service and they let you try them until you find the perfect fit. There is also a cute outdoor garden space too for the nice spring/summer months.

Such a lovely restaurant and GREAT seating with the COVID precautions in place. Super cute interior and two small tables out front. The real gem here is the garden which they'll move heaven and earth to get you a seat in. The food and drinks were AMAZING, and were crazy reasonably priced. The staff were also AMAZING, super attentive without being overly so, and so gracious. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely garden grotto in the midst of Manhattan chaos.

STAY AWAY. OUTDATED SMELLY MEAT! Their salumeria is really "smellumaria". Both the ham and mortadella we were served were old and inedible. The server, who was amateurish and slow (other diners craning their necks looking for him) showed no concern. He also had no idea what he was talking about with wine. The bread was DAY OLD and cheeses were skimpy on portions. But I don't blame the waiter. This place was good when it opened but is clearly neglected by mgmt and owners as it's now a cash cow. OK for people that want a garden seat and glass of wine on a nice day. That's fine if you select your own wine and don't eat anything. But really, this place is insulting -shame on the owners.

Love the place! Great wine deals, service, and delicious pesto. Always a spot to bring friends or date!

Cute, small, cozy, dim-lighted, romantic place for a date. I don't recommend noisy people come here in big groups. Though there was one when I went. Don't come here to get super full. I'm not a huge wine person so I shouldn't have come here, but the beers were pretty good too. Not a huge selection of beers, but I think a wine enthusiast will love it here! I explained to the waitress that it was my first time here and didn't really know where to start in ordering the small plates. She was not very helpful... She simply looked at me and asked, what do you need help with? When I explained to her, she just looked confused and asked if I didn't know what something on the menu was. So I just dismissed her. Ended up ordering FICHI e RICOTTA crostini and it was the best thing that came out. If I were to come back, that would be the only thing that I would order. The ricotta cheese was perfect with the figs and drizzle of honey... YUMMM Also got Prosciutto Di Parma and that was way too oily and salty. Made my lips shimmer all night. It was decent, but I would rather have had two orders of the The rabbit pot pie was not amazing. Just tasted like a regular pot pie. The brussel sprouts wasn't that great either. Just tasted like shredded brussel sprouts, which was exactly what it was. Not much flavor. Could have been roasted brussel sprouts and I would have enjoyed that more actually. You can lose track of time here while enjoying glasses of wine and catching up with a friend, but I wouldn't come back for the food unless it was that crostini with ricotta cheese. YUM

Oh mamma. Oh boy. Oh baby. You want a true European breakfast experience? Like one of those lazy weekend mornings in Paris or Rome, or Brussels, or could-be-anywhere-Europa? Go to Gottino. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The building is dimly lit during the day not just the evening, only by the sunlight that fills the doorway and coffee bar. Gorgeous. The food is as fresh as can be - honest to god ingredients put together behind the counter right in front of your eyes. Try the crostini - any crostini. It's all fantastic. My favorites is t fig, goats cheese, almond and honey crostini rocks! The waiting staff are wonderful too. The lovely Italian lady behind the counter now refuses to give me favorite fig and goats cheese crostini because I get it EVERY TIME! Haha. I now leave my order in her hands and she gets me the most amazing stuff every time!! Haha. Awesome. Awwwwesome Italian food, spectacular brunch. Best of the best. Made me feel back home in Europe! Quit reading this lame description of this fab place and GO THERE NOW! :o)
