Think if Martha Stewart decided to start a wine bar and you'll have a perfect picture of what this place looks like.

All-Italian wine bar in the village, and full past capacity most nights of the week, Gottino barely has tables, let alone waitstaff other than their bartenders. But it's the impeccable small plates, mind boggling list of quality wines by the glass, and chefs formerly from Babbo that keep the people coming.

You won't go in here paying less that $50 a head, but you're eating in the West Village, and this place is packed... so at least rest assured that you're getting quality instead of fluff.
