Vinile Italian Chophouse

In a sea of options to choose from in NYC, this place is special. There is so much care put into everything but they make it seem effortless. The food was superb. Get the brussel sprouts and a pasta course though for sure. The service was so natural and helpful, like sitting at your good friend’s house. It’s an independently owned restaurant which is even better. A lot of care goes into great dining here, and with no pretentiousness. Go check it out! They even let you choose a record (actual vinyl) album side you’d like to hear.

I was organizing a work dinner that we booked only 2 days in advance for a larger party (started as 12 people then dropped to 9) which is not easy to find in Manhattan. We were pleasantly surprised to get placed in a private room which made it so much easier to hear each other and talk. We had Antonio as our server who was phenomenal!! He was so attentive, hilarious and had EXCELLENT recommendations. My favorites were the rigatoni, beans, mushrooms, porterhouse, and the bread service! Seriously everything was delicious though. Go check them out now!

Spotted: at Vinile — the sexy new Italian chophouse turning tables and heads. Brought to you by the team behind Vinyl Steakhouse, this spot is serving up sultry sashimi, seafood, sizzling steaks, and fresh-baked bread and truffle risotto that’ll make you weak in the knees. The wine + cocktail list? Dripping. The vibe? Vinyl records spinning rock, funk, disco, and desire. Get it in.

I loved everything about Vinile Chophouse! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owner Kevin. We had a nice conversation with him and went to our seats upstairs on the loft. Seeing the bar and entrance from up top was a cool view. Our waiter Patrick was very informative and gave a lot of good suggestions. We had a lot of questions so it was helpful. The food and drinks were all on point. The Octopus Ceviche might have been my favorite. Definitely will be back!

Vinile is a fabulous find. The sound system that was custom made for the restaurant absolutely make the old vinyls sound extraordinary. We had a cocktail to start at the bar before our dinner. We were recommended the Mezcalino which was delicious. We had a fabulous table upstairs that overlooks the bar, we loved seeing all the old records and seeing which ones were going to be played next. We did wait some time for our meal, the staff were incredibly apologetic and very kind about our wait. We were not disappointed when the food arrived. We both had the fillet mignon which was 8oz/230g. It was cooked to perfection, the sauce that was accompanied with it was delicious. We had the Brussel spouts with ricotta and the potato mulino (mash potatoes). This restaurant is fun, the music is outstanding and the food is brilliant. I would thoroughly recommend going, I would also go back in a heart beat.

Vinile Chophouse delivers a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere that blends classic steakhouse elegance with modern lounge vibes. Dim lighting, plush seating, and curated vinyl music create a cool, nostalgic backdrop that's both stylish and comfortable. The bar is a true highlight—offering an impressive selection of craft cocktails, premium spirits, and a wine list that complements the menu beautifully. Bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, mixing drinks with both skill and flair. Whether you're there for a full dinner or just a nightcap, the ambiance and bar experience make Vinile a standout.

This place is an absolute must if you’re anywhere near Manhattan. Every part of the night was incredible- one of those rare experiences where everything just feels right. The food is flawless and the cocktails are killer. Kevin and Sophia have created something special, and the warmth of the entire team- Julia, Alan, Ryan, Antonio, the entire kitchen.. made it feel like a night with friends rather than just dinner out. Already planning the next visit!

I initially had reservations for Vinyl Steakhouse, but I saw this sister location and was intrigued. I didn't know that it was a newly opened restaurant, so our party was in for the ride. I made dinner reservations for Friday at 7:30pm. We were seated right away at the 2nd floor. The restaurant was elegant but had a lot going on with pushing the DJ vinyl vibe, which you got more of that feel downstairs. They have an eclectic collection of music, so the playlist for the evening was pleasantly random across different genres. I personally enjoyed that. What's cool is that you can request an artist/album, but unfortunately we didn't get to hear our request during our dinner (Van Halen's 1984 album). Not a make or break, but it would've been a cherry on top. Customer service was great. Food came out in a timely manner, and hats off to our server, Patrick. Personable, attentive, and wanted to make sure we were having a quality experience. I ordered the Milkshake cocktail, which was a treat! I believe the hard spirit was vodka with prosecco that I poured over a lemony sorbet. It basically reminded me of a boozy granita. Loved the bread service. Vinile has this beautiful focaccia topped with sweet grilled onions. We were offered options of Nduja butter, a burrata/olive oil dip, or white anchovies. We settled on the burrata dip, which was a solid choice, and Patrick hooked me up with a couple of fresh anchovies. We shared the brussels sprouts, ribeye, soft shell crab, and pappardelle with beef cheeks: The brussels came on a whipped ricotta spread. We ordered this as a side dish to the steak instead of a small appetizer plate. The pappardelle was the best dish. Perfectly al dente pasta, tender beef, and lovely sauce. I wasn't sold on the ribeye at first, but it got better the longer it rested. Its accompanying sauce was nice. The soft shell crab was my least of the 4 dishes, and we all agreed that it was a missed opportunity. I thought the sauce was too salty, and maybe it would've benefited from a light battered fry (probably being biased because that's how I prefer soft shell crab to be prepped).

We had a great experience here last week. Had never even heard of it but it came up on a quick search of restaurants in the neighborhood and we're so glad we stopped in. Everything we had was delicious (tartare, risotto, bavette, bone marrow bread) and the service was super friendly. It was a bit expensive but I'm happy spending a few extra dollars if the quality and service are there. Which they were! We also met the owner who explained that this is their second restaurant and have a more traditional steakhouse nearby. We plan to check it out in the next few weeks as apparently that's the original.

I was here for my friend's birthday and unfortunately we were all disappointed. It has by far been one of the worst dining experiences I've had. 1. Food is extremely overpriced for the mediocre taste and tiny portion. Some dishes also tasted like pre-made or store bought. 2. Service: the server kept recommending ordering more, which annoyed us a bit. 3. Ambiance: the decor is a mix of weird punk graffiti and random Italian decor. Music choice is very off as well, they played super loud rock music.

Everything from food, service, and ambiance was superb. We celebrated my daughter's birthday and our server, Antonio's attention to detail and professionalism made it a perfect evening. We sat in view of the kitchen and watched how each dish was carefully prepared. We ordered the skirt steak special and the porterhouse to share. We added Brussel sprouts and mushrooms. Perfect in every way. We will be back!

Exquisite food. Great vibes. Recommending to all my friends . Will absolutely come again

Delicious food, impeccable service and great atmosphere! Enjoyed a night full of wine, food and music! I haven't seen cacio e pepe on a menu since I was in Italy. We shared the bone marrow focaccia, pasta, steak and the striped sea bass with summer plums was excellent! I highly recommend Vinile for your next night out.
