Wonderful flavors, great wine list, cozy restaurant and well priced.

It's a VERY good thing in this city to start with the baseline of good and fresh produce and good combinations, unfortuneately for 'ino....that's about where it stops. The portions are at the wrong end of the NYC scale and the service....well, I think a few of the other reviewers sum it up well. Another case of the increasing NYC trend of being expected to pay for service that just doesn't exist.

It's a great atmosphere for a casual romantic date or a night with a small group of friends. The big issue is that it's so small- but that gives it the great feel it has. Food is delicious, and the price is perfect!

Wanted to share a great place to go. Small, but amazing place serving panini, cheeses, antipasti, and a large wine list. For such a small place I don't know how they can put out so much and such great food, but they do over and over. The wine list has something for us everytime. Many bottles and many by the glass options. The servers can answer all your questions and are always friendly.

Love this place, the bruschetta is amazing, cute atmosphere, small, usually go mid afternoon so we never have to wait for a table too long. Service was excellent.

Ever since my friends and I discovered 'ino about 1 1/2 years ago, we are "regulars". At least once a week - if not twice - we patiently and happily wait for a table. To us, it's worth it. However, as of about 6 months ago a few waitstaff started treating us very poorly. I know this place very, very well, I know each restaurant is subject to off-nights, but the service attitude is consistently insulting. If it weren't for one server (manager?) who is ABOVE and BEYOND accommodating and friendly, I might (and I say might) not go back. However, 'ino's saving graces: the food, the wine, the proximity to my place, the price, and the late night hours make it impossible for me to stay away.

My boyfriend popped into 'ino after having been wowed by 'intoteca the night before. We thought we would get some more of their amazing truffled toast. The space itself is really tiny, which is cool in that West Village way (unless you get some yappy people next to you it will be impossible for you to enjoy the incredible food). So we moved to the bar. Our server promptly fogot our order, the bartender couldn't have been ruder (slamming down drinks to fill basically in my Tuscan bean soup and begrudingly refilling our water), At the end of the meal the bartender added on a few dollars to the bill and was not only unapologetic when we pointed it out, but belligerant. Also, another employee thought it would be a good time to unload cases of wine right in front of us on the bar. Lame. Go to inoteca or ino when the waitstaff changes and there are no other clientele. Cheers to the cooks!
