Translated, Sottocasa means “under the house” and like its first location in Brooklyn, this Harlem restaurant is just steps down from Lenox Avenue on the ground floor of a townhouse. Once inside you are transported to an authentic Italian trattoria replete with a wood burning pizza oven. The wood floors and painted brick walls provide the perfect atmosphere to dive into their antipasti e pizze menus. Italian wines and Italian micro brewed beers on tap will send you oltre la Luna, “over the moon”!

The rebirth of the Harlem wine bar sits on the corner of W 119th St. like the bow of a grey steamship. A modern sustainably built restaurant, Vinateria offers small, medium and large seasonal plates and curated wines and spirits from small craft producers. Whether Italy or Spain is your culinary port of call, the S.S. Vinateria is taking passengers!
