Certainly worth crossing the Hudson for

With so much choice in NYC why would you bother going to Jersey! Gotta say this place is a winner and well worth the short trip to Jersey City. I've done the rounds at all the good tapas restaurants in Manhattan and most of the dishes you find here you won't find anywhere else. Unique Latin American flavors you won't ever forget. Wine list is excellent (you'll understand when you walk into the restaurant)! Actualy I think just the wine list is worth going for. The set-up is great: open kitchen that makes it nice and casual and service is top notch. Big open area to peruse wines at your leisure and pick a bottle or 2 on your way out. Great touch

• Pros: Top wine list, top food
• Cons: Bigger location required

Great food, great wine

by chatogrio

If you want to have great food and great wine at a very reasonable price, come to City Vino. Spanish and Peruvian style dishes are my favorites. Try the Causa, a Peruvian signature dish, it is a must. The City Vino Corn reminds me of my old days in Lima. Also, the Chorizitos al Jerez are out if this world, while the Piquillos Rellenos are probably the best dish in the Menu, ole!!!. Regarding desserts, you will complete this Latin &Wine experience by ordering the Coconut Rice Pudding?I am hungry already and looking forward to come back.

The Wine list is sophisticated and yet very affordable. Ask for Miguel, who will know which is the wine to taste with the food you are having. On your way out, grab some bottles of wine, it will be difficult to find anywhere else such quality for the price you are paying at City Vino.

I think this is the best tapas/wine place I have been in the NYC/NJ area.

• Pros: Food & Wine
• Cons: Size, it should be bigger to bring bigger parties!!!

tapas with great value wine list

by mstig

the food is fantastic, especially those "peruvian style" scallops with parmesan cheese and the corn! (can someone get me the recipe pls?) the hosts, a young couple , are usually around to guide you through the ecclectic tapas selection...from italian taleggio to the best peruvian ceviche, coupled with a great price/quality winelist.... you can't go wrong at City vino!

• Pros: City vino delivers great food/ wines @ a great price
• Cons: The word is out! so make a reservation...
