One of the best wine spots in EV. This is one of there few locations in the city and they just opened after a renovation that seems to have elevated the ambience and class of the place. Went for a glass of wine on Wednesday night, enjoyed the vibe so much we ended back here on Sunday for the same glass of wine. Try the Borolo. It’s absolutely incredible!

This place is absolutely incredible and we can’t recommend it enough. We’ve made major life decisions talking over a glass of great wine here.

My new favorite place. A great selection of Italian wines, amazing service, great vibe. Food is ok, nothing special, mostly paninis and bites, but their olives were delicious, and the bread was nice and warm.

I don’t know how anyone can say anything negative about this neighborhood staple. The service is always great, the happy hour specials are unpretentious and perfect, and the staff are always kind and welcoming. I live in the neighborhood and often come here with my little dog to read and relax, and I am always welcomed with a smile and a cold drink. This is one of the most underrated staples in the neighborhood. So if you haven’t been here before, you definitely should plan a visit.

The last time I went to this bar was back in 2001when we would end our vespa rides at this place and its great to see that its still open and running. I was always a fan of the Stella on tap back into he day the along with the moz, tomato, and pesto toasted panini. This was a great happy hour and warm up spot.

Headed over to meet a friend for happy hour on a Tuesday. Great outdoor seating, which was semi closed off with a low wall and mini evergreens. There was one selection each genre of wine: a red, a pinot grigio, a rose, etc.

Dear Veloce ,I trek from Chelsea to the East because John works the bar.For years used to go to the one in Chelsea but the female bartender there, Dara must hate humans, (miss Christo, Carla & Francesco) so I stopped going. She is terrible. She is unpleasant & terrible wine mood/service. Why she works in this industry is wild? Rocco was fabulous, what happened to him?However, was delightful to accidentally have drinks in the east village & meet John. Who also happens to be a Sommelier.I now leave my hood, Chelsea, come to the East Village only when John is working. He knows his wines. Friendly. Great humor. Excellent service.Wish all wine bars had John’s … I never go to the Chelsea Veloce anymore. Only East. I like hanging w/ oriented service people not ppl w/ severe mood swings.Take note Chelsea. We all stopped going there.John is TOP!
