Aria Wine Bar

This place is amazing, its a cozy area and has a wonderful staff. They treated us so well and made our day more special.The food was delicious, and also the drinks! My favorite food was the warm chocolate cake.Definitely a nice place to hang out with friends or have a first date.

Aria wine bar in NYC is a must-visit! Our server, Alyssa, was fantastic - attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The wine list is extensive, and we enjoyed several varieties thanks to Alyssas expert guidance.The bread, freshly baked and perfectly crispy on the outside, was served with a side of high-quality olive oil for dipping - a simple yet delicious combination.Overall, Aria wine bar is a gem in the heart of NYC. Great wine, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. Dont miss it!

Made a reservation, but they were overbooked so we still had to wait. The food was amazing, but the service was slow and poor quality. I recommend all the food including the pasta, tomato and mozzarella, and calamari. Unfortunately they do not have espresso for post dinner.

Great pasta spot, but very crowded and the servers are definitely overworked and hence a bit rude. The actual food is delicious, we had the eggplant, the crab cakes, the mushroom fettuccine and the shrimp rigatoni - the portions are generous and the flavor is on point. I wish it was a bit less loud and crowded! But would highly recommend for the food.

Love this place. Our favourite find in NYC. Great food and host. Coolest surroundings and vibe.

I love this little Italian gem. The food is great; I would always recommend their daily specials (see pics(i got the black truffle gnocchi, and my friend got their pasta vongole in rosso*chef kiss*)). The wine is at a decent price w/ great everyday selections. There was a small incident during this particular visit, but I wont blow up their spot due to it was out of their control. However, it wouldve been nice for the waiter to show more empathy than just say ohhh (comp wine, discount on bills, even apologizing to us wouldve been nice). Again, I understand the issue (I still wont say) was out of your control, but if youre in customer service, then be more hospitable.I frequent here and never really had an issue, so I will go back still (for now). However, I wont be so nice about it if I encounter any negative experience.

Great restaurant for any occasion. Had been to the 51st St. location before for dinner over Italian tapas and had a great experience too. But the West Village location provides the same excellence in the food and service with the magic of being in the West Village. Brunch was great, with a good mix of white omelette, gnocchi, tuna tartare, and refreshing spritzer based on Campari and Proseco. We got there around 1 pm for brunch, witbout reservation, and did not wait at all. Were able to accommodate a stroller and enjoy a great service until we felt satisfied. Fresh in-house - made bread is delicious too.At the 51st street we did have to make reservation and felt much more crowded. Will be coming back multiple times!

Great wine selection and servers were very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Food was excellent too!

I loved this place for many years. I went there 3 days ago for the first time after the pandemic . They changed location and I feel that the quality of food is being affected of that. Which just some adjustments will be great as before, don’t let this beautiful place die

Wonderful place to eat. Its a sister restaurant to Terra, which we stumbled upon the day after we had dinner at Aria and had no idea they were related until we ate there. Excellent food, elegant and very respectful staff, very nice menu and food options. Not a cheap place, but its worth the money you spend. Ambiance is quite dark for dinner, which kind of contributes to the experience. Very cool place indeed, recommended.

Nice Italian resturant, I liked the atmosphere, the dishes are tasty and kinda ok, nothing stands out, at the end of the meal, the waiter was rude for asking for more tip then we actually gave

I’ve gone here quite a bit with my friends and it hits every time. Get the truffle gnocchi

That was definitely not heirloom tomatoes in that salad.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly service and great authentic Italian wine and food. Super recommended!

A wonderful culinary experience. Delicious food, warm welcome and Angel is so nice and ready to answer your expectations. I recommend 😋

We have always loved this place and always eat here when we are in NY. This time we were put in a separate space next door, which was a disaster. We had a waitress who was so manic and just didn’t listen and made our experience super stressful. We had people with allergies in our group and one member of staff would say a menu item was gluten and dairy free and the waitress would then tell us we couldn’t eat it. We just couldn’t get a straight answer on anything - so we were really uncomfortable. We were then told we had a compulsory 20% tip added because there were 8 of us!This place is usually a lovely relaxed vibe with great service and wonderful management and we have had many superb meals here - it was like a different restaurant this time which is such a shame. Honestly, they should not do the separate room or at least staff it with experienced staff who are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable- if this had been our first experience, we would not return.Lesson learnt for us - ensure we book in the main restaurant next time!

The food was amazing and the service as well. Reasonably priced.

Went with my friends and the food took quite a long time. I understand it was a Friday night but the waitress rarely visited our table to keep us informed. I ordered a drink after a while and it took so long that it came after I finished my entrée. I also got food poisoning from the lobster ravioli so while the decor is nice, I wont be back with how slow the service is and the fact that I got food poisoning.

Delicious food. Friendly and professional service.

Good food, service not so much. The waiter was rushing us to order fast and kept leaving the table while we were still tryingnto order stuff. Book a table and be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes after the timenof your booking.

Nice place good for a group not too crazy, reasonable price and good food

Wouldn’t say this spot is great, the Cesare salad lacks alot of flavor. The portions are small especially for what you’re paying and the staff are nice but the waitress also does the bar so 🤷‍♂️. When we went, we felt very rushed to order food. I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you want good food, definitely other places that are 100% better.

Walked in tonight with my husband to grab some drinks and a few appetizers at the bar. Was told by the hostess that unless we were ordering dinner (not drinks and appetizers) we couldnt come in. Her reason was that they were very booked and unless we were planning to order dinner we could not sit at the bar, AKA unless we were spending the money on dinner they wanted to save the seats for poeple who would be. There were atleast 8 seats at the bar, which have always been first come first serve, no reservations for the bar. We live a block away and usually come here twice a month for drinks or dinner. Was one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood, but how you are treated matters and unfortunately we wont be coming back.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend their vermentino wine, truffle gnocchi and the rigatoni pasta, though all the menu options are pretty good. The wait staff are all very friendly and efficient. Being one of the popular dinner spots it can get very busy and loud at times. Advance reservation is recommended.

Searched RESY for a tapas restaurant and was plenary surprised when an Italian restaurant showed up. We did not have reservations and went at 5 on a Friday. We were seated with no issue, at this point it was basically empty. Within half an hour there wasn’t a seat in the place.We had the grilled octopus salad as well as the goat cheese and mango salad to start. Both were outstanding. For main courses we had the lobster risotto and the lamb shank. The lobster was cut into pieces like little prizes throughout the risotto. The bone on lamb shank over risotto was so tender it fell off the bone.We will absolutely be back, we loved this meal!

The staff is great. Their octopus dish is the best Ive had in many restaurants. The wine list is fairly priced and delicious. Try the Italian Primitivo (the original zinfandel).

0 STARS.I came here because of a Michelin gourmand review and expected, at the very least, an acceptable dining experience. our waiter was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Gave us not even a minute of his time. (he rushed us to leave)The food was barely edible. He forced 2 specials double the price of everything on the menu and made mention of price.Tried several times to contact management, with no response.

This place was fantastic! The service was exceptional and they walked us through the menu, the specials in detail, didn’t rush us to order and let us take our time. The burrata, Caesar salad, pesto pasta, mushroom truffle pasta were heavenly . Also wnjoyed the Chianti they had to offer, prices were also amazing, about &60 a person for a table of 4 - including tax tip 3 drinks a person , an appetizer per couple and 4 entrees…HUGE!Thank you!

Cosy place for a good pasta and and a glass of wine (or two). Cosy atmosphere and nice staff. Rather high noise level however. We sat “in the window” which was an excellent choice.

Absolutely love this place. If you can’t find a table, try their sister restaurant around the corner. Such a cozy vibe instead with great specials. We started off with the goat cheese and tomato sauce and the meatballs. Both were killer and I’d order them again. For starters, we had the risotto of the day which was mushroom and Parmesan risotto, and the penne pasta. Overall fantastic meal with quick service.

Had an amazing time here. The service, the food, the people. Love it all. We celebrated an engagement party and everyone loved their time here. Get the risotto lamb dish if it’s available. It is cooked to perfection. Fell off the bone. I give this place 5 stars!

The food was good. But the service was better. Ask for Vinera, she’s the best, so courteous.

Staple place for a catch up with good wine and light, flavorful bites. Love their salads, truffle Mac, and lamb chops. There are a few of them around the city, you can’t go wrong. Tight seating, but it’s casually chic.

Oh, where to start. I’ve ordered yesterday from this restaurant and found something in my salad, that shouldn’t be in there!!!! A cockroach!!!! Disgusting!!! Never will go or order there again. You should do something about it.l!!!!!

We were 3 of us visiting from CA, our local friend took us here. We had a GREAT time. Our server Angel ( Angelito) did a great job. Always accommodating our requests. Food delicious. We had great Italian wine from Toscana region.

Amazing quite little place to get good food and great cocktails. The service and staff is what sets this place apart. Highly recommend for gathering with friends or popping in for a drink at their bar.

Would not go back. My first experience there was great, however this time was lacking. Once we were seated, no one asked for our drink order for quite awhile. Actually another waiter (not ours) asked if someone had helped us. Food: carpaccio was great and enjoyed the octopus. However, need to take the scampi off the menu or redo it. Wasnt cooked well and the garlic was way too strong. Service is probably the main reason I will not go back. Waiter was not attentive at all and did not come around to ask if we wanted another round before last call at eleven (guess neighbors arent happy with the noise) or get us our bill. Credit card was on the table for about 15 minutes.

We stopped here for lunch. I ordered one of the specials, the grilled octopus salad. The octopus had been sliced into bite sized pieces and arranged in a beautiful presentation over a bed of salad made with celery, thin sliced potatoes, tomatoes and more. The octopus was tender and cooked perfectly. My partner ordered lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. They kept the sauce simple so that the tortelloni could speak for themselves. Follow my Google profile for more reviews!

Everything was very tasty. I walked in with a friend on a Saturday night and they fit us in at the bar. The vibes would be great for date night! We had the lobster ravioli, artichoke pesto penne, burrata and proscuitto, kale salad, and rapini. Also a great cheesecake for dessert.

Great ambiance and food. Incredibly friendly staff; look for Venera -she’s attentive and kind. Aplausos to the Latinos in the kitchen. The tiramisu was delicious. I would just say that I really missed Codino’s crostini -pork & octopus.

We hosted lunch at Aria after my mother-in-laws memorial service. The folks at Aria made it easy for us to pull together a really wonderful meal for a large group on short notice. They were flexible and helpful at every step, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

I love this place! Food is very tasty, price is good, service is great and a lovey atmosphere! 💯 recommended!

Aria is one of my go-to spots in the city. There is another location in the theater district and every time I go, I have a great experience. There is a great wine selection, and glasses are inexpensive (think $7-$10). The ambiance is that of many places in NYC - crowded, a little loud, and somewhat tight. A great date night spot for some great eats, without breaking the bank.Get the grilled octopus appetizer, served with pesto, potatoes, and white bean salad. Its not on the menu, but has been a special every night that Ive dined there. The lobster ravioli is a small portion, but its SO good. Get it with one other person to split as an appetizer.The service is great, the bread served with olive oil is addicting, and you will definitely come back. There are few truly good, consistent, cheap places in NYC, and Aria is definitely one of them.

Service was ok, felt a bit rushed. Great food though!

My girlfriend and I went to Aria for dinner on a Friday night, expecting it to be one of the better places in the West Village. The menu that we discovered when we got to the restaurant was completely different to what was online. Online it looked like authentic Venetian cicchetti. In reality the menu was pretty stock standard Italian. Fine. The real issue was that the food was shocking. A humble neighbourhood Italian restaurant wouldn’t serve that. They have their pride. Salsiccia pasta with what looked like slices of pork bangers in a watery bowl of pasta. And it tasted how it looked. It was repulsive. I am a terrible cook and I would happily take the chef on in a salsiccia pasta off. There is no James Beard chef back there, I can assure you. This place may have changed ownership. We also had a very average stewed calamari, a Buffalo mozzarella that was just regular mozzarella. We tried three types of wine trying to find something decent, and failed. In 6 years living in NYC, this was probably my worst experience, tied with the time I ate watery, cheeseless Mac and cheese at Dallas BBQ (I know). The service was not exactly a compensatory factor. Neither was the price. Avoid this restaurant at all costs, literally every other restaurant will be a better call.

I loved the cozy vibe of this spot! We came here around 10:30pm on a Friday night and were able to get a table right away without a reservation. Most of the people there were on dates or girls having girls night. I tried the chocolate soufflé and it was amazing! Highly recommend this place for date nights!

Appetizers were OK, but the sea food pasta (pasta dish of the day) was horrendous, worst pasta I ate in my life, the tiramisu was flavorless barely any coffee flavour or anything really. Service was OK, anyone saying this is the best Italian food they ate are out of their mind or never ate proper Italian pasta, even in France I ate way better pasta than this.

Visited twice, for coffee during the day and for dinner. Both times we were helped by the same male waiter who is really rude. The place itself is very cosy.Dinner: food was great, chardonnay was sour, the waiter was super rude. He chased us through the entire dinner, to make sure he would have the table back again soon for a next party. We left the restaurant in less than 1 hour 15 minutes because of this.Not going here again.

Perfect Italian food in adorable place. We had some specials, the prosciutto burrata and risotto with fish. Really tasty! Pasta bolognese was perfect! Nice waiter who advised us perfectly! We came in at 9.30 on a Saturday without reservation and didnt have to wait! Would go here every time I visit NYC!

One of my favorite places to eat in the city. If you come at peak time you will have to wait, but it is worth it. You will be squeezed in next to someone you know or maybe you dont, but this feels like real New York to me. It is basically Italian tapas with some bigger main plates. I love to mix and share, but my favorites are the meatballs, so tasty and they melt in your mouth, and I love the truffle Mac and cheese. This was my favorite Mac and cheese ever, but they changed it slightly and I found one elsewhere a bit better, but it is always super tasty and not overly runny creamy like many can be. Other notable items are the oysters, burrata, steak and eggplants with goat cheese. The wine is all delicious too. I take all out of town visitors here and they have always loved it!

Sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly, attentive, and patient. My experience at the restaurant was great. However, I ordered a Prosciutto and Burrata cheese plate to go and it was half the portion of the restaurant for the same price. At the prices being charged for that to happen is not okay.

Went with a group of old friends who we hadn’t seen in a while. We were extremely rushed, with the waiter even pushing the bill while some of us were still eating. We were not even given 2 hrs at the table, and never warned ahead of time that we’d have to leave quickly. The food was only average to say the least, and after the rushed service and experience I would never come back here.

I completely loved this epicurean adventure! Our waiter, Al, was super... efficient, friendly, and fun! We totally enjoyed the tastes, textures, aromas, presentation, creativity, atmosphere, ...pure delight! Thank you for a grand evening in “The City That Never Sleeps!” Kudos to the chef and staff!

My god! The service from the French server is not comparable. The food was out of this world. Took advantage of the henri storm to come here. Sat at bar and had probably some of the best service. The gnocchi truffle dish by far the best dish I’ve had. Simplemente the best.

Aria is really one of my favorite places, its such a hidden gem. They have Italian-style tapas, and you really cannot go wrong ordering. Every dish Ive ever tried has been delicious. A lot of the waiters here are Italian, and I love that the menu is your place-mat, the waiter writes down the specials straight on your menu. No frills, but FANTASTIC food, and a great date spot!

Tasty food, (big) tapas format, so you can order several things on the menu to share (which is good because you basically want to try everything!). The place is beautiful, you can have a romantic dinner (the room is quite dark) but there are also quite big tables to host a group of friends. The service is included in the check.I recommend it!

The host was halfway to one of many empty tables when the manager appeared and started repeatedly asking us food and drinks? Food and drinks? We answered honestly, saying we were going to a wine bar for a glass of wine, and he got mad and started saying no room. No. No room without food. Even the host seemed surprised hed acted this way, it was a completely ridiculous experience.

Adorable set up and decor with absolutely excellent service. Had a slight slight mix up with our order and the waitress was kind enough to bring us out another glass of wine! Loved sitting in a window booth and people watching.

Great spot for a cute date or small group. we didn’t get any main dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised with their wine and charcuterie board! we got a carafe to share between two people and it was a great portion size. loved the vibe inside too!

Aria is such a great place for an intimate dinner. We came from out of town and left very impressed. The place is small and cozy, perfect for date night. Well priced, so many great tasty food options and wine options. The mushroom bruschetta was to die for and I had the best tiramisu of my life. Our waiter was awesome, and we will definitely be back next time we are in nyc!

The waiter wasnt particularly friendly. My pasta came in a bowl with a big chip on each side. When I showed it to the waiter he said, lot of them are like that, do you want me to change it? Duh!I told him it was unacceptable & the pasta wasnt as good as I remembered, so its off my list.

I may be biased because my friend is friends with all of the waitstaff here and they treat us extra special, but this place is fabulous. They have buratta that is to die for and great pasta dishes and wines to pair with. It is a cosy little place and the outside is adorned with twinkly little lights, making it a great date spot in the village.

Great food, nice atmosphere (although too noisy) and friendly service.

I dont think I can say enough about this place. I have been here twice now, and both times were fantastic. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because it can be a little unorganized in their seating process. They do not take reservations for small groups, and will leave an entire table open while they wait for a reservation that isnt supposed to come for another hour.However, their food and atmosphere makes up for that! Aria has a great menu of Italian dishes and a greats selection of wine. The ambiance is cozy with a definite Italian flare. There is one large communal table and a few smaller tables. There is also a bar that runs the length of this small restaurant that is also a great choice to sit at. The waiters all know the menu very well and can make educated suggestions about both the food and the wine.From the moment you walk past the charming Christmas lights that decorate the outside of this west village gem, and through the doors, you feel like you have just entered a special place.The last time I was there, my friends and I ordered wine, a cheese and meat charcuterie option, a beet salad with goat cheese and a phenomenal small plate that was some type of eggplant with ricotta and marinara sauce. The Montepulciano dAbruzzo wine was a terrific option to go with the meal.I really cant speak highly enough about this place, and I am looking forward to going back and working my way through their menu.

Very good place to taste good (Italian) wines while tasting very good pastalunch meal possibilities at quite reasonable pricedo not hesitate to enter despite the scaffolding

Cute ambiance but the service is a bit lacking on busy days. The place gets super loud so hearing someone close to you while sitting at communal tables is tough. Food is same as Terra in TriBeCa or Cotenna in WV. affordable Italian with a laid back vibe but more pleasurable during non-rush hour.

I didnt drink but this is one of my favorite places downtown. Small dishes are so good. Goat cheese eggplant amazing

I would give this place a zero if I could. Terrible service from the server to the management. Party of five and one person had the wrong order and one person never got their food. When we asked where it was, it was met with attitude and the server was dismissive. Horrible experience and would not go back, even with someone else paying. The food that was served was overpriced and barely edible/bland.

Food is ok. Service is wonderful. Avoid going between 18:30 - 21:00. Probably there is a waiting time of 30 minutes. Boutique restaurant located in Perry Street, easy to get to and nice to explore around the neighborhood.

Nice place, quite good service but:- very noisy.- as a person who lives in Italy, I gotta say that the pasta with ossobuco was really bad, tasted only of garlic and was poorly cooked.- the price was above the quality.

Came here with my family for brunch, was delicious. Topped it off with some lovely homeade cheesecake and homemade ice cream that melted in my mouth. Thanks to our waiter for the great service!

One of my favorite places. Delicious and always busy. Staff is very friendly , fast and professional (especially Russian waiter! always takes into account my wishes) thank you!

Good wines, great upbeat ambiance, and superb pasta. Not sure about the Salumi though: my speck wasnt really speck, some slices were a little dry and it was garnished with olives (fine) and balsamico (not fine: you shouldnt need to add a dressing to Salumi). Overall Id still give it 4 stars.

Awesome little restaurant, the food is excellent and is served like tapas so you can experience multiple dishes without breaking the bank. The cocktails are great as well, very generous with the alcohol!

I love all the places that the couples in charge of this place put togther.Aria is the largest i have been too but it still has a sense of intimacy for each table. The food and wine are fantastic, nothing less. Everything on the menu is cheap and sooooo good.Id recommend trying the lamp chops, the meat balls, the mussels, the cheese wrapped in speck, the raviolli, the gnocchi, the oysters, the beef tartare, the beef ragu, the creme caramel, the panacotta, the Pinot Grigio... EVERYTHING IS GOOD!

This place doesn’t miss. Decided to go with the specials instead of the regular menu because lamb shank and truffle gnocchi is hard to turn down.The gnocchi was cheesy, creamy, perfect texture and you could definitely taste the truffle.The lamb shank came with risotto. A real showstopper in terms of size, very well cooked, excellently flavored in kind of an Osso Buco style. They don’t serve it often, would recommend if it’s available.

This place charges $60 for a wine with an in-store price of $12, and most of the wines are to be found on the second-from-bottom shelf of the Italian aisle of your supermarket. So emptor consider yourself caveated.The atmosphere however is good (food is not particularly so) - and the huge distaff of hot chicks on Friday night was definitely a plus ...

Pretty nice and cozy dining environment. The food is really good, recommend the lamb chop!

The vegetable lasagna at Aria wins my personal booby prize for the single worst pasta dish Ive ever had--overcooked, over-cheesy, vegetable-less glop that doesnt deserve an Italian name. And all that for only $12! The octopus in the octopus salad was overcooked also.Our waiter, who looked like an understudy for Colonel Clink on Hogans Heroes (but with less personality than your average Gestapo agent), barely addressed us and was almost impossible to pry away from his companions. Whatever he said wasnt audible anyway, since the music was blasting the whole time; perhaps thats why he felt compelled to scribble on our menu instead of describing the special plates as a normal waiter would.Buy a decent bottle of wine and some pasta and sauce, cook it yourself, and save yourself and your friends $50! Ugh!

Cozy place to have a glass of wine and a good bite of perfectly balanced italian tastes. You can drop in even on Saturday night. Stuff so friendly, all in a good mood. Definitely a place not to be missed if you come to this neighborhood.

Great place! Excellent wine. Angel is the best!

I walked around to see a place with Italian food. But for me, an important atmosphere saw this nice aura and stopper for pasta. Nice place. Tasty pasta. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Like it.Thank you!

Love this place! Good wine, great appetizers. Great little New York wine bar. Center table is perfect for a large group. Bars great for one-on-ones.

The food and service was fantastic. The only reason I wouldnt give 5 stars is that we were sat up at the window which is quite cramped and uncomfortable and you cant see the rest of the restaurant.

This place deserves 0 stars, came here because of a Michelin gourmand review and expected, at the very least, an acceptable dining experience. Patrice, our waiter was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Gave us not even a minute of his time. The food was barely edible. He forced two “specials” double the price of everything on the menu and made no mention of price. Our entire meal lasted 18 minutes.Tried several times to contact management, with no response. This place is a sham.

Amazing Minestrone Soup and an incredible Ricotta Cheese Cake

Always come here for a meal when Im in town and Im never disappointed. I liked the old location better than the new one, but the food is just as ever.

Great place with good food and a nice atmosphere. My favourite spot for cozy neighbourhood vibes.

Great place for a drink and bite to eat

Great, reliable place! Lobster ravioli is the best and good cocktails :)

Great Italian with good prices and portions

Love the outdoor space and food is delicious, no rush to have us leave which was nice. Servers are stretched but do a great job managing the tables.

Traditional italian with good price

Though I do appreciate the rustic Italian atmosphere the food and table settings could use some improvement. There is no reason why ANY restaurant should serve their guests with mechanic’s paper towels (or any paper towels, for that matter).For a nice Italian place like this, I’m also schooled at the bread service. The roll slices weren’t warmed, and definitely didn’t taste fresh. I’m not saying it was moldy or stale or anything, but c’mon, guys. Would it hurt to at least toast it?

Food was very good, portions were generous, and the service was excellent. Best octopus salad ever.

The service and atmosphere are decent, but the food at Aria has crashed and burned. Come for wine, but don’t order dinner.

Cheek, italian eatery.. good food, vicarious wines, service is on point.

OneOf the worse Italian food I ever had I. NYC not a great place

Great Italian restaurant in West village.

Really good food and wine. Great service (thanks, Anastasya!) You helped make our evening special. Well be back.

MY HONEST, JUDGMENTAL, UNWANTED OPINION, THE GOOD & THE BAD! Swung by this little spot, tucked in the West Village with a few friend’s earlier today, for a quick drink and bite into some fresh pasta! Awesome spot! While service was on point, there drinks were great! My friends discussed there business ventures as I was tipping seats over, from the (one to many sips). The ravioli was a 5 star, as well as the old subway tiled space, that set the environment for a historic feel of what old school Manhattan was all about! If your in the neighborhood or visiting from out of state, make sure you make a pit stop! Awesome nook to end a long day.

The food was so good and I loved how they were very accommodating for a member of our party who had a severe nut allergy.

Best dinner in west village! Angel was the sweetest waiter and the food was divine. Would highly recommend!!

Amazing food. One of the best lasagnas Ive ever had.

Love the food there, staff is great. I used to dine when the location was at Perry Street, the change in venue didnt change the quality of the food or the great service. It is a staple in my restaurant list in Manhattan. Great place to enjoy with friends and family, fun, great atmosphere and so tasty food.

Love aria for an affordable Italian dinner in west village. Have been multiple times and the food is always good! Love the burrata and the pappardelle

This place was a zoo last night. LOUD!. Very bad service. The servers are overwhelmed therefore neglected many customers. They’re not friendly. It’s almost like a factory. They take in people more than they can handle. It’s a shame. Never going back !

Fabulous food - wines were standard but sitting at the bar was a good people watch and great service

Intimate wine bar with a nice selection of Italian wines and delicious light bites and pastas

I went to this place a couple times till my girlfriend birthday and I mentioned them that my girlfriend has shellfish allergy ,,they brought the food and 2 of the dishes had crab on it ,I went to talk to out waiter about it and all he said was ok I’ll be right back let me take this order,like he didn’t care at all if she die,they are so rude especially the old French manager,,also they set up you a contract for parties for 80$ a person but they end up charging $120 I swear without even ordering other food ,I was just shocked,and the place where they cook their food on the basement is DISGUSTING ,,I’ll never walk even close this place anymore!!

Food was great, but the restaurant was extremely loud. The servers were also overly aggressive about table-clearing.

Loved the food. The window table was quite small. The portion could be a tiny bit bigger and that would be perfect

Alyssa was great!

I like this place a lot. Quality pasta, good value, reasonable portions, pair that with a glass of Barbera and youre laughing.

Had a blast here, outstanding food and very reasonable. Server was super cool....sorry I forget his name. Cool vibe as well.

A local favorite. This place is packed every night of the week for a reason. Highly recommend the truffle gnocchi and lobster ravioli

Cotenna is a sister restaurant of Aria Wine Bar, which is not too far away in West Village. After having tried both places, I think of Cotenna as the shyer younger sister who, once… read more

An absolutely amazing place to get a taste of Italy... Food is amazing, the staff if incredibly friendly and knowledgeable no ones rushing you... Always a wonderful experience!!

Food was delicious. Tiramisu 💯. Food was really good too.

Very rude waiter, followed us to the door asking for more tip though we already gave him. poor service

Food was OK, the service was good, and the atmosphere was fine.

Amazing food!! Great service. Reasonably priced. Will definitely come back.

Came back here after almost 4 years and its still such a friendly cosy spot with excellent food! Higgly recommended!

Great food, great service ! Congratulations !

Darling wine bar and Italian restaurant in the West Village. Very authentic, delicious pastas for sharing and a nice wine list.

Food was tasty, but small portions. Drinks OK but expensive. Owner badgered me for insufficient tip in front of friends. No class.

Had a lovely dinner experience at Aria with friends - we ordered wine and a bunch of small plates to share, and all loved the food. They have a ton of specials each day, so keep an eye out for those, but also highly recommend the mushroom truffle bruschetta, the gnocchi, and the meatballs. Very reasonably priced and delicious! The servers were also wonderful and let us sit and talk for a long time without being pushy even at a busy dinner hour. The restaurant gets VERY loud though, so sit by the window or go early/ late if you want to be able to hear people around you. Make a reservation in advance on Resy!

The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free dishes. The food was very delicious.

Everything at Aria was PERFECT!! The staff were all so fun and sweet and the food was INCREDIBLE. We got the pear salad, calamari, mussels, truffle gnocchi, lobster ravioli and the chocolate soufflé and it was all 10/10! We also got a bottle of the Chianti which was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Great pastas and good wine. Super kind service.

One of my favorite restaurants in city. Good food, fun people. Solid spot.

Really great place!! Very warm and charming. Great 1st date or 50th date! Well done

Cozy, fun ... One of my favorite restaurants in the c West village. Great people watching and delicious pasta

Great place for sharing small plates and wine, good vibes, a bit too crowded

Loved this little cozy place tucked away in the West Village. Sat at the bar with a very good bartender noshing and drinking. Small selection of white wines but they were all fabulous, not too sweet and not too dry. Great place to just chat and drink.

Great Italian food, delicate portions but not really Small, 4 for two is great, super service, and a great buzz and full of happy chatty pretty people. Go there!

I love coming here .. so cozy and they do proper Italian soul food

Stopped by here with a friend after a movie, mid-afternoon mid week. Had the special lamb shank risotto. So tasty. The chocolate soufflé dessert was wonderful. Because of the time of day it was not crowded and our waitress was very pleasant. I will definitely go again.

Great food and nice atmosphere. A bit noisy for a romantic dinner.

The best espresso martini in all of NYC!!

Wonderful place to eat.💚

Food is good. Service was ok, our servers were nice and polite but we had to prompt them for the cheese and the bread, which was a bit of a bummer; but not a big deal.

Love the service!!! Amazing wines

Terrific atmo on a really pretty little street but the food was just meh.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Good vibes, top service, and the pasta was AMAZING.

All staff are very friendly and nice!! Especially Angelo(?) who is from Mexico he was so nice for us !!! We had a great time for special occasion ! We would like to come back for next time

Great vino and Italian tapas...my goto spot when in NYC.

I had a pleasure to celebrate my Birthday in this amazing place . I loved its cozy atmosphere, caring and amazing staff and low prices . I would definitely recommend this place to my friends . And for sure will come back one day again .

For the last three years, Ive visited NYC at least three times a year, and Ive never skipped Aria since we stumbled upon it. One of my absolute favorite places.

Great foods, great staffs, reasonable prices.

Really good food and staff.

Love the food. The drinks are amazing - especially the frozen in summer.

The restaurant felt cozy and had beautifully dim lighting. Our waitress was incredibly nice and the food was great! 10/10 recommend their Black Truffle Gnocchi.

Nice wine selection and small plates are tasty

Didnt get served for 30 min so just left....

Lively,fun place. Delicious meatballs and other Italian dishes!

Yo don’t sleep on that bruschetta. That Caesar is 🔥🔥🔥

Great service and atmosphere. Food was delicious.

What a nice restaurant! Great food and atmosphere!

Good prices and great food. Highly recommend the mushroom bruschetta. It’s very small and cozy inside

Seafood pasta is unbelievable!!!

Over priced with a weak wine menu and mushy pasta

Wonderful food

Mary Anne was amazing. Service was impeccable, drinks were divine!

Excellent food, nice staff, lovley decoration

Good food but calling this a wine bar is a crime, having only the grape variety in the menu… had a great experience tho, fair price and tasty.

Love their Italian food here, and they have gluten free pasta!!

Its a nice space but the food isnt good, get the wine

Wonderful food! Right price too.

Food was really good, and vibe was awesome. We were a group of 8 and came on Sat around 6pm. They were also very accommodating in making changes to our reservation.

For sure a very romantic restaurant. The food is good. Long wine list, small menu, perfect plate size. Good service. Good place for a first date.

This place is absolutely terrible - it looked cute and felt like it had great vibes and was packed as well so I mistakenly assumed it would be good, but the food was totally bland, waiter never checked on us ... but the real reason Im writing this review is for the totally totally rude, aggressive and horrible behavior of one of the waiters.He was brash, obnoxious and literally told us you guys have to leave I have a lot of people waiting when I had barely touched my pasta. We were in the resto for about an hour at this point. The food was brought out so quickly from when we ordered, I dont think anything was particularly fresh and arrived cold. On top of that, this man was aggressive with literally kicking us out , including the couple next to us, and hovered on top of us when we were paying with the card machine, making it awkward for tipping. The host apologized a few times for his behavior but Id never return, total waste with the amazing Italian food options in this city.

The service was poor and the waiter pressured us to give a tip. We initially did not want to leave a tip but the waiter was looking over our shoulder while we paid and then told us its compulsory to tip at least 15% in New York. He was very rude and standoffish.The food was nothing special at all.

Great Italian food, very rich menu.

Excellent wine and amazing food. Some of the best pasta I’ve had!

Only had appetizers and drinks. Everything was ok but nothing great.

Super cozy place but can get a bit too cozy at times, especially when they try and squeeze you in to every nook and corner of the restaurant. We been there numerous times for drinks or a quick bite and its been fine but this Time we went on a Sunday around 4:30 and our seats were shared with the staff since we were in their way, sitting behind the counter so it was super uncomfortable. We asked to be moved but they said that all the tables were taken....I wish I had taken a pic because the restaurant was empty and it was an odd time so people wouldnt start coming until 6. We had a good time regardless and the wait staff is good from what I remember. The hosts however werent so friendly.

Aria is ideal for sharing an intimate, meaningful experience with a romantic partner, family member or good friend. Comforting aromas permeate the candlelit environment, which is quintessentially cozy. Despite closely positioned tables and its invariable full-occupancy, Aria retains its rustic, intimate vibe.The array of Italian small plates are exceptional in taste and excellent for sharing. Portions trend small but the contents heavy, so order plentifully but cautiously.A professional but relatable wait staff further enhance a consistently fantastic Aria experience.

Good for a group and the food is fine.

Fun place. Recommend the meatballs and the boar parpedelle

The food was delicious, definitely one of the best meals I have eaten in New York.

The year is 2017. The idea of a dinner reservation is well established in society. But the Aria West Village failed to grasp this concept. We showed up exactly on time with our full party, yet our table wasnt ready. Understandable, things happen and a 15 minute wait past our reservation was just within reason. Skip forward 30 minutes later with no contact from the staff. Upon pressing the manager we find out a prior reservation to ours was late and given priority over us. This is the reason we decided to no longer wait. This is the reason we wont be back. We tried to look past the rudeness of the staff and manager but being cut by a late party and left outside over half and hour past our reservation was the stopping point for our party.

Used to come here all the time. Too bad.

Awful service. Went there for a very early dinner and asked for a table for 1. The lady at the door looked me up and down in a judgemental way as if I should be ashamed for thinking of dining alone. There was only one table occupied by patrons. Plenty of tables free. She refused to let me sit at a table because she had a few reservations. So she got me to sit at the bar and then walked away. Nobody came over to offer me water let alone take my order so I got up and left. Didnt even try the food because the service was that bad.

A fantastic Italian restaurant. Great lively vibe. Friendly and professional staff. Youre always guaranteed good food and a fun experience. Its my go-to whenever Im in West Village

This is such a great spot for a casual Saturday night date! I came for the wine but was pleasantly surprised when the food turned out to be even better. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were much bigger than expected. Pro Tips: Trust the waiter completely for their menu recommendations and sit at the two sided bar (if by yourself or with one other person).

Cute place, friendly staff, good wine. Food is average at best. Mussels had almost no flavor. Bolognese came out so quickly after I ordered it, I was suspicious. Pasta was a bit overcooked, and again, not a whole lot of flavor. Small bits of carrots in the sauce were still a bit crunchy...not the best food around.

Wow what a fabulous restaurant! We had walked by a number of times and finally decided to stop in. The food was outstanding, and they had a great wine selection. The staff was very friendly and accommodating even though we didnt have a reservation

Cozy atmosphere and tasty Italian fare! This West Village spot offers a variety of Italian wines and the staff offers helpful suggestions. The truffle mac is incredible, and look out for specials that change daily. We’ll be back!

This place is so nice 👌 I love it, the service is fast and the staff is very friendly!

Lovely staff and nice food options, but their draw, wine, was very weak with limited and poor quality options

One of my favorites wine bars in the city. The food is meant to be shared. My favorites include the Mac and cheese with truffles and the octopus. They had a salad with mango daily special. Why would any one want that? Anyways someone ordered it and the chef thought: just mango and lettuce sucks, lets put some friend goat cheese. Genius. No question about it.

My fave NYC Restaurant. Both (Hell’s Kitchen and Perry Street) locations are always consistent. Love the Pasta with Mushrooms and the house Chardonnay. Delish!

My favorite restaurant! They serve Italian tapas with an awesome wine selection. Dishes range from $10-$18 but they are meant to share so need to order a couple to make it filling! I love the tagliatelle bolognese!The space is tight but it’s very intimate and perfect for date night!

BE CAREFUL IF EATING HERE!!Nice atmosphere and waiting staff plus good food, but after finding a chunk of GLASS in my salad the management just suggested not tipping, gave us a free salad and plied us with more alcohol to keep us quiet..Disgusted at how the manager dealt with the situation, total lack of courtesy or care.

Great food. Basic but well crafted cocktails. Good with allergies.

Affordable, top notch Italian fare. Fried calamari is TDF!

The staff is experienced for a Friday dinner rush and are very accommodating. The food is excellent, definitely recommend the truffle Mac and cheese or the lobster ravioli. Great service and reasonable prices for the neighborhood!

I love this place. Fantastic date spot. Great food at good prices. Cosy and intimate. Wine list is awesome.Neighbourhood staple for sure. I’d return many times over.
