Cozy, romantic and friendly wine bar in Washington Heights

by chicainnyc

This a quaint and cozy wine bar with a very friendly atmosphere. You will quickly become a regular. The wine is great (and not expensive). The food is yummy and fresh (the type you crave if you haven't had it in a while) and the service is great as well. I have no hesitations on going there on my own (which I don't necessarily do in any other places) but since it is small enough you can sit at the bar and chat with the regulars or the owner (Liz).

• Pros: Wine, food, friendly atmosphere

Just go! Everything about this place is worth the trip. Sometimes it feels like washington heights is a world a way, but really its just a short hop on the A train (it took me 15 minutes from 14th street) and the train stops practically right in fromt of In Vino Veritas. The food is good, the music is great, the wine list is outstanding, and the vibe is contageous.

Perfect ... every time!

I lived two blocks from this place for over a year before going in--what a mistake to have waited so long! This place is great--a fantastic and relaxing little nook in East-of-Broadway WaHei. The owners Fred and Liz are so sweet and helpful, the wines are fantastic, the beers are even better (go against your better judgment and try the banana-flavored one from Belgium), and they even have a sake menu now! Food is great, too--especially the prosciutto. :-) Definitely check it out.

• Pros: Food, atmosphere, wine-and-beer list, not too expensive
• Cons: occasionally crowded

Great Find in Washington Heights

by mcg2124

In Vino Veritas provides a cozy setting where excellent wine and food can be enjoyed at a reasonable price. The service is outstanding- attentive, but not rushing. The wine list is especially impressive, but there is not a hint of pretentiousness when recommending or discussing the wines. This is a great little spot that is condusive to great conversation.

• Pros: Friendly, Yummy food and wine, Good Value
• Cons: Crowded
