    Chic atmosphere and tasty tapas plus great happy hour. The service was Stellar. Jackie behind the bar was kind and interesting. This place is a chelsea staple and there’s several other successful locations around town. If you see a bar veloce, definitely give it a whirl. Solid wine list too

    Very nice atmosphere in the back patio with plants and dim lighting, and not too noisy. It was easy to get a seat on the patio on Wednesday night.They have a somewhat, but still existent, non-alcoholic drink menu. I had their Sonic Youth non-alcoholic mocktail, and it was not sweet at all (which I liked) and had an interesting flavor. Okay maybe I wish it was just slightly sweet.Loved the Lavender Tonic. Its slightly sweet.The Rosemarina is not my favorite. Too bitter / sour. Okay to sip but I prefer the Lavender Tonic.

    Nice vibes, the tighter space gives a cozy, relaxing atmosphere, and the lighting adds. Good selection of wines, nice happy hour.

  • Review 4 (2024-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    I think it is my favorite wine bar now. You cant beat every day happy hour with $7 for a glass in Manhattan! After HH, we ordered a bottle of Etna Rosso (a wonderful dry acidic mineral red wine). So good. Id say, the food is ok, but the green olives were really delicious!

  • Review 5 (2024-11-18 - Rating: 5)

    I am tough when giving reviews but this bar is great. Service quality, food, ambience.

  • Review 6 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    This wine bar has a fantastic ambiance, perfect for a relaxing evening

  • Review 7 (2019-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent local wine bar. The happy hour is fantastic, a bottle of red for about $30. Food options are limited but delicious, the burrata and prosciutto plate is really good and the Nutella piadina is incredible

  • Review 8 (2024-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to have a nice drink and chat. We stopped by to end the night and had a great time speaking with Dara, our bartender. She makes the best drinks and has me hooked on that lavender drink. Thank you, Dara, for being friendly and funny to go along with your mixologist skills.

  • Review 9 (2023-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing house wine selection in addition to be hundreds available. This location has a nice outdoor patio. Food is good though there is a limited menu. Come for the wine.

  • Review 10 (2024-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    A quaint neighborhood gem. Lovely garden. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable for long periods.

  • Review 11 (2022-04-28 - Rating: 4)

    Great atmosphere and the staff are very nice. The wine selection is not the best for those who prefer bold reds or citrusy whites. And if you scan the wine list, Vivino doesnt give more than 3 wines rating 4+ out of 5. Overpriced for the quality of wine, but again, the atmosphere is nice and location is great. Good for those who dont know much about wine or prefer light reds.

  • Review 12 (2022-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great time here . Nice to have a quiet spot that my friends and I could catch up . I loved the rose lemonade and my friends loved the $7 wine happy hour until 7 pm . Unassuming bar with a calm demeanor really made for a nice Sunday afternoon .

  • Review 13 (2019-05-15 - Rating: 4)

    Professional staff, nice snacks, good selection of wines. They’re pushing prices higher and higher though. Hard to find reasonable glasses/value. Dial those prices down a little, guys! Also, can get a bit loud at times.

  • Review 14 (2022-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    The most delicious Italian wines you won’t find anywhere else. Great Italian street bites to compliment.

  • Review 15 (2014-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    This is how a wine bar/quiet meetingplace for drinks should be. Not crowded, not loud; ambient lighting, with elegant staff, and a good selection. Few places on Saturdays do happy hours, but Veloce does a prosecco happy hour from 5-7 Saturdays—a HUGE plus.

  • Review 16 (2019-05-17 - Rating: 5)

    Like the other Veloce location I visited, this one excels among the NYC wine bars in the selection of great wines at very reasonable price, the experienced bartenders and a bar that is great for having a conversation. The $$$$ designation is incorrect. The deals on great wines are fantastic. And dont forget the small appetizers that complement the wines perfectly

  • Review 17 (2023-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Features all Italian wines, cozy atmosphere.Daniel, behind the bar, was friendly & helpful. Would be back.

  • Review 18 (2018-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic happy hour specials of rose and prosecco served by a professional bow-tied gentleman who deftly manages an entire bar by himself. Great bar bites, great lighting, fantastic service. Highly recommended.

  • Review 19 (2017-06-22 - Rating: 4)

    Very friendly team, great outdoor, solid selection of Italian wine, fun bar food.

  • Review 20 (2018-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    The sun burst through the clouds away and brightened up the afternoon in spite of the snowy stormy weather that occurred most of the morning. I finally was able to return to Veloce after work while the sun is still out. The bartender was nice, the assistant was also professional and courteous. GREAT wine selection and love its food and the Nutella Pannini is simply delicious!

  • Review 23 (2017-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    Happy hour has $7 prosecco and a very decent one. Cheese plate was excellent, no skimping. Wait staff were great.

  • Review 24 (2022-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    Came here after work to try out their happy hour options. The wine on special was fairly priced and hit the spot. Glad to see the food options were great as well. Nice place to grab some wine and have a conversation with a few friends. They have a wide selection besides happy hour and a knowledgeable waitstaff.

    Cozy wine bar, simple but clean. Had a couple of appetizers that did not disappoint! A no-hassle place to have a nice time with friends.

  • Review 29 (2016-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Great panini (I like the Classico and Soprasatta), salads, wine and cocktails. Lively vibe on weekends, but not to the point of being too loud. We love going here.

  • Review 30 (2018-04-30 - Rating: 4)

    Really nice venue with fun and attentive services. Good neighborhood vibe of local patrons; food and beverage above average for this type of bar!

    Great gastro wine bar in the Chelsea district. We loved the entire experience. Highly recommended.

  • Review 33 (2024-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    I made a reservation in the back garden at the Chelsea location for my birthday and my group of 12 guests had a wonderful time! We had excellent service from Tommy, delicious food and wine, all in a covid safe environment. They have space heaters even! They did not charge an extra fee for bringing our own cake and they were great at handling all the many dietary restrictions in my group! Highly recommend.

  • Review 57 (2017-11-22 - Rating: 4)

    This is one of many but you know what you are getting. The wine selection is not immense but if decent selection for casual tasting. If you are in the mood for beer they have a smaller selection but not bad either (not tapped). They also have mixed drinks that they do make to proper ratios. The ambience is somewhat quiet and relaxed where you will find some folks off by themselves looking to not be disturbed while having their beverage of choice.

  • Review 58 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    Good happy hour and great service!

  • Review 59 (2017-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Love this small, intimate watering hole. Great wines and snacks. Now there is a lovely outdoor coffee garden during the day as well. Good for up to 4-6 people if you have a group to get a table and have some wine/snacks/conversation. Great for pre-dinner or post dinner glass of wine or bubbly. They have spirits too. Does get a little loud when its packed, but nice mature vibe.

  • Review 60 (2019-10-23 - Rating: 4)

    Place is small yet sophisticated. Its very Italian. You will not find Australian or Californian or even French wine here. No, just some of the best imported Italian wines, cheeses, olives and aged meats. The help was knowledgeable and knew how to tell me which wine was most like a Shiraz....also...I had a panini, it was great. I ate more olives in one sitting than I have in the last 3 years combined. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful place, great vibe and vine selection. The basement is an unbelievable location for your parties or meetings. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you are planning a big event and you are looking for a convenient location in Midtown West Manhattan, ask for their basement; a cava style place with an amazing atmosphere in there.

    I visited on a Wednesday evening, getting there about 6:00. It was easy to find seats, but the place filled up rapidly. Even full, however, it was easy to carry on a conversation unlike many places.The selection is great and it easy to find a favorite type of wine.

  • Review 69 (2019-12-19 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot. Great vibe and wine selection. Decent tapas

  • Review 70 (2018-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    This was a wonderful bar experience we bumped into after a long and delightful walk in the city. We were looking for a drink and appetizers before seeing Hamilton, and scouted Veloce on the corner. Joe is a fantastic bartender who engaged my wife and I, former New Yorkers, in splendid conversation and reminiscence. Not to mention the drinks, Manhattan, Gin Negroni, and a terrific Prosecco, were excellent. We have earmarked this bar and hope to return in the future.

  • Review 71 (2020-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    Can get pretty loud at prime time (duh, what place doesnt - though the long, thin shape of the place accentuates noise). But the bar service was great and the happy hour food was really tasty and even creative - a pleasant surprise.

    Good ambience. Not the most expensive in our neighborhood. Would not recommend anything with your seller in it. Sadly I ordered two different things on two different visits with Nutella in it because my wife is a Nutella freak. Both times she was disappointed.

    Fantastic wine selection and they offer pretty decent wines for their HH. There is a cute garden in the back which is a quiet place to getaway from the chaos of the city but it’s self serve in the garden. HH can get a bit hectic but it’s a great place for some decent wine.

  • Review 79 (2018-02-16 - Rating: 4)
