An Italian Wine Bar for Risotto and Gnocchi
Rich pasta plates meet warm service at a snug West 51st Street spot that stays open late.
🍷 Wine and Warm Plates
Rich risottos and gnocchi set the pace at Briciola, a snug Italian wine bar on West 51st Street. The menu moves through eggplant appetizers, zucchini soup, ricotta cheesecake, and daily specials such as duck leg or lamb shank. An Old Fashioned keeps the drinks side of dinner in play, while vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options give mixed tables an easy landing.
The setup keeps dinner close, with bar stools on either side of the tables and elbow room that tightens when the seats fill. Service stays attentive, right down to a staff member crossing the street for a fresh espresso. Patio seating adds another option, and the kitchen serves every day from half past eleven in the morning until midnight. Leave space for dessert, then settle in for a meal that can stretch from a first glass of wine to the last bite.
