A warm Nolita wine bar serving Mediterranean small plates in a rustic space lined with art and bottles.
Description



Located at the corner of Spring and Mott Streets, this neighborhood venue transitions from casual lunches to group dinners. While the kitchen covers a full range of Mediterranean plates, visitors frequently point to the mussels and octopus as standout choices. The space maintains a relaxed energy—spirited but rarely overwhelming—making it as suitable for a quick bite as it is for a larger pre-show gathering. Staff are frequently praised for attentive, friendly service, keeping the dining room welcoming whether you are stopping in for brunch or booking a private event.
