Because if you do, then it just adds to my quaint little wine bar that I love so much. But... I guess if you do go, I would recommend any of the flatbreads, the truffle oil panini (with prociutto added into it), or the mussels. The staff is excellent and will let you try any of the wines before hand to make sure its what you want.

Can't recommend this place enough if you are looking for a relaxing wine bar in the neighborhood.

This winebar is on my block, but hadn't tried it out until recently. I love the quaint atmosphere and lovely servers. My friends and I ordered the mushroom pizza and the mussels. They mussels were to die for - they were the best I have tasted in awhile with a delicious spicy tomato sauce. The mushroom pizza was also excellent. I'll definitely go back to this gem. I would highly recommend it!

Went there for pre-theatre dinner with a friend. The server (Ashley) was warm, welcoming and attentive. We got our drinks right away and took our time ordering the food. No problem -- we were never rushed. The mussels were amazing and the vegetarian flatbread was very good. A definite "let's go here again" place!

I went to Riposo 72 last night to try something new in my neighborhood. The inside is cozy and cute, and the wine was good (I had a Malbec). The food; however, was a different story. My boyfriend and I both ordered the arugula salad to start – and although it was good, I could have made it myself for much cheaper. It was basically just arugula tossed with a smidge of dressing with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and with 4 tiny pieces of grapefruit – nothing special. Then, we shared the mushroom flatbread pizza for the main course. Had I know it would take light years to make, I would have just left and made one myself. 50 minutes later when our pizza finally came (mind you, the server never once apologized for the ridiculous wait), we were disappointed to find that it was just NOT GOOD. I think they made the crust with matza, and they must have bought the red onions/mushrooms at the street cart on 72nd because there was nothing gourmet about it at ALL. Again, I could have made this pizza at home for cheaper and in half the time! The worst part about this experience was the bill came to $80

I work as a Beverage Director for a celebrity chef, and my wife and I always find ourselves sitting at Riposo on a Monday night. The service staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the food(cheeses and flatbread pizzas) are always good. It is a great place to go and have a nice little bit to eat, and a very affordable glass of wine(much better value than the other wine bars in the area aka:Wine and Roses or Bin 71). They could use a little help with their wine list, but they do have something for everyone.

Met a friend for a drink here, but was starving, so I ordered food-- and, what a surprise, it was really good! And an excellent value! Ordered the salmon tartine and it was so big I took half home and had it for breakfast the next day. Mussels were excellent too. My new favorite place-- comfortable atmosphere, laid back, good wine, good food, good service. Only down side, as others have noted, is that it gets a bit loud. It's a small space with exposed brick walls...
