Because I am a wine drinker I am constantly seeking out places that have good wine with good value. Life is just too short to drink bad wine and so I often find myself at Barcibo on 69th and Broadway.
Not only do they have a fantastic list of Italian wines, but they also have a staff that is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly so they can help guide you through the list to make sure you get a glass of wine that you will like. Italian wines can feel overwhelming if you aren’t familiar with all their grape varietals, and there are a lot! They have over 100 wines by the bottle and over 40 by the glass. They also have a full bar for the non-wine drinkers out there.
Though Barcibo is very popular amongst those who know about it, it is still a bit of a secret. It is one of the bigger wine bars out there. They have an upper and a lower section as well as outdoor seating in the summer. The food there is also fantastic. We shared a few things. One of my favorites is the crostini. We got the crostini with prosciutto and bufala Mozzarella and the burrata with tomato.

The prosciutto is so delicious it almost melts in your mouth. We also had the cheese and meat plate as well as the risotto.

The risotto is really spectacular there. We had the risotto with the sweet Italian sausage, peas and corn. Wow! I have also had the mushroom risotto as well and I can say that it is one of the best I have had.
The atmosphere is warm and sophisticated. The staff is great and the prices are very reasonable. This is one of my favorite spots on the upper west side. Wine bars are all the rage, but not all are created equal. This one, however, is top notch.
