Editorial Review for Bar Veloce – by Justine Goodman
In Short
From the name Bar Veloce--which literally means "fast bar"--to the Vespa in the doorway, this compact Soho wine bar seems designed toward speed. However, it's more than just a pit-stop, and despite prompt service, the small but respectable crowd of local Soho bohos don't look the least bit hurried. The railroad apartment-styled space accommodates 10 or so small tables in front, with the bar in the back, and its signature theme is reinforced by the repeating rows of earth-toned wine bottle cutouts that adorn the walls.
Hits: In addition to an extensive selection of wines (30 by the glass, 60 by the bottle), there are several beers on tap as well as a selection of spirits (bourbon, single malts, cognac, rum, etc.) and even some sake.
Misses: It's bar-service only--place your order in back, then relocate to a table.

Insider Tips
Food ServedA menu of Italian-infused treats like hot pressed paninis, meat and cheese plates, and desserts like gelato and tiramisu are served.
Know Before You GoThe menu features wondrously creative descriptions of each wine--"tastes like a freshly popped can of Slazenger tennis balls"--and the gracious employees won't think less of you for mispronouncing wine names or pointing at the item you wish to order.
The ExtrasLook closely at your wine glass; it's subtly branded with the "O" from the Veloce logo.
