Bottino


246 Tenth Avenue
(between 24th and 25th Streets)


If you're walking the High Line, and want to get dessert and coffee, Bottino is a very good choice.

A must-order is their popular warm Tuscan Bread Pudding dessert topped with vanilla gelato. It was not the best bread pudding I've ever eaten as it was a bit too custardy and eggy, but it definitely fed my craving for something sweet.



Best paired with a glass of the Puglianese Negroamaro Salento Rosso. The wine was just the way I love my reds--smooth and no aftertaste.




With a full bar and comfortable, lounge atmosphere, must return to the restaurant for a proper meal!

Cuvee Juliette

Spring has finally arrived!

And when it's spring, it's time for trying new roses!

Complete admission, I purchased Cuvee Juliette based on the whimsical illustration on the bottle.




The wine is a beautiful light copper coloring. And the taste is delicious. Fruity and refreshing.



A wine to cheer up any meal or occasion!
