Accademia di Vino:
Those with their noses in the air searching for the “perfect wine,” should head to this Upper East Side wine mecca to bust a few capillaries with the pros. If you’re not enamored with at least one out of a whopping 500 bottles of wine at this “Academy,” you should be smacked or find a new hobby. But this place isn’t just for oenophiles. Alcoholics will also take stock after a few swigs of the high-grade Jesus juice. Hungry? Try a grilled pizza or one of the other Italian specialties. Your waiter will act as wine professor as he/she helps your navigate the gargantuan list and decide what to get. If you hit the sauce a tad too hard, the place is so big you can thankfully hide those glassy eyes, stained teeth, and blotto blind date from the snooty crowd. Open daily 5-11:30pm.
we're surprised by the "worst restr" comment above. we've been to A di V many times and have never had a bad meal, and we love their wine selection. the upstairs bar is where it's at

loved it!
absolutly loved this restaraunt! can't believe it took so long to try it!! i used to work in restaraunts, and watching the people in this room work, was amazing. our server was SO busy and she still made time to explain everything in depth and reccomend a bottle of wine that was delicious under 50. you should try the robiola pizza and manzo carpacio. they were her favorites and we loved them too.

The Worst Restaurant that I have been to in NYC. I would say this place is one step below the Olive Garden and ten times as expensive. Not only was the food terrible but our server was absolutely miserable. On top of her being unacceptable she left out that gratutity was already included. So on top of a horrible meal and lousy service we dropped a 40% tip.
