“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

We shared a pizza to start, followed by fish and the vodka pasta for mains – every dish was absolutely outstanding.

Such a hidden gem, would highly recommend to anyone in NYC.“

“A close walk from the Met. We went on a Friday night and asked for an outdoor table (our reservation did not indicate either inside or out). Service was wonderful. We started with the meatballs which were good, but it was only 4 small meatballs. I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms. The fettuccine with beef ragu was also good, but missing a little something. The cannolo for dessert was a highlight.“

“Been wanting to come here for ages and finally got around to it. Everything was great, but the winners are definitely the starters. The artichoke is crunchy but not greasy. You can tell the quality of the ingredients are high. Mushroom bruschetta was my favorite bite. The egg was orange which is always a good sign and all of the flavors complemented one another. Fettuccine was great. Spaghetti was my least favorite bite. Atmosphere is so cozy. Felt like I was in a cottage.“

“Exceptional food and service. Each dish had a combination of flavors and textures that were exciting. We loved nearly everything and the items we did not love were still really good. It's not cheap, but I highly recommend it!“

“I had an incredible experience at Vinile Chophouse and can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we sat down, Kyra made us feel completely taken care of, her service was warm, attentive, and energetic. All of Kyra's suggestions were spot on.
The food was just as impressive. The skirt steak with lobster was absolutely phenomenal. And the Brussels sprouts? Easily some of the best I’ve ever had!
Between the outstanding service and unforgettable dishes, Vinile Chophouse truly delivered on every level. I'm planning to bring my largest account here in May. Can't wait!“
