Acqua at Peck Slip:
If you’re in the mood for Italian lessons, or just want to feel like you’re stuck in beautiful Roma, stop by this authentic enoteca. Owners Alberto Baudo and Valeria Rubino pulled out all the stops to give New Yorkers an authentic vino experience. The wine list spans over 100 bottles, all from small boutique Italian vintners, handpicked by Baudo and executive chef Ciro Santoro. From 5pm to 8pm on weekdays, they run a special “aperitivo hour,” where you can wet your whistle with a Bellini, Acqua-tini, and a slew of other specialty drinks along with some very inspired antipasti, compliments of the house. Between the native Italians (who seem to be everywhere) and the chichi clientele, this spot is definitely worth every last lira.
Great food. Great wines. Great atmosphere. Bravo Alberto! We'll be back for sure and we recommend this cozy Restaurant-Wine Bar to all lovers of Italian Gastronomy and Culture.
