Vinatería is a neighborhood restaurant rooted in the culinary traditions of Italy and Spain, and the philosophy of using local, seasonal ingredients. Vinatería’s comforting dishes from executive chef Joshua Bedford are favorites among Harlem locals and visitors alike, from spicy veal meatballs and pollo al mattone to a selection of house-made pastas. The acclaimed wine list is chosen from small and accessible producers, while the artisan cocktail program uses house-made syrups, seasonal produce and fresh-grown herbs from the restaurant’s windowsill gardens. Vinatería is built on the relationship of deliciously prepared food and life’s moments of enjoyment.
