"I was looking for some fresh fish, and vineteria delivered with several fish and seafood options to choose from. On the end, I'm not sure what I ordered, but it was delicious and perfectly prepared. I think it was broiled branzino, but the important thing is that the skin was crispy and good enough to make a meal out of. The flesh was perfectly medium rare, firm and moist. It was served on a bed of rich, creamy mushroom risotto. I had the special cauliflower soup as an appetizer. I just popped in without reservation early on a Friday night. The place was buzzing and pretty full. I could have taken a seat at a long community table but opted for a window seat at the bar so that I could watch street life in the neighborhood. My server had to elbow his way through the bar crowd to get to me, but he was game for the challenge and remained friendly and helpful despite difficulty getting through. Prices are what I would expect for above average food and service. As should be expected from a restaurant named Vineteria, the wine list is well curated with a great variety of interesting wines. In the past, I have had oysters and clams on the half shell. I can recommend them for variety, freshness and presentation."

"One of my favorite restaurants in Harlem and it never disappoints. The black spaghetti with seafood is out of this world. The duck appetizer is to die for. I didn't photo the black spaghetti this time it was my to-go meal but I had the black ravioli with lobster for dinner. Not as good as the spaghetti and needed a couple more pieces but was tasty."

"This is one of the brightest gems among many in Harlem. What a nice place for a cocktail or a quiet dinner. We enjoyed the “Thyme of Your Life” gin cocktail. Tasty sides and dessert to share. We had the carrot and Brussels for side and flan and gelato for dessert. All good. Recommend."

"A great local brunch spot offering delicious dishes with affordable prices. Brunch deal included a drink. The outdoor seating might not be best option during the summer. Indoors can be a bit loud with all the dinfer conversing"

"I had the most wonderful birthday lunch with m husband and family at this amazing restaurant. From the moment we waked in were greeted with such a warm staff. The food was served timely and hot. I had the black spaghetti which was delicious, along with some apps such as mussels, buratta, and fried calamari all so tasty and fresh! Drink menu was wonderful and they treated us to special bottle of pink champagne for a birthday toast and for the fact that they needed to move our reservation back due to scheduling conflict. I highly recommend coming here for date night, or special occasion."
