WHAT:
Italian wine bar and kitchen.
WHY:
Casual enoteca with a delicious and affordable small plate menu, filled with fresh ingredients using quality meats, cheeses, olive oil, and breads.
Just a stone's throw from Chelsea Market, the High Line, and the Maritime Hotel, is a neighborhood cafe that’s starting to show up on everyone’s radar.
Long and narrow, Barocco resembles a typical enoteca you'd find in Milan or Rome, with a menu consisting of antipasto selections like proscuitto di Parma, sopressata, speck, mortadella, a large selection of Italian cheeses, and a caprese salad with the tastiest tomatoes you'll find in New York City.
They also serve pasta, fish, and steak. Fava puree with fresh peas, potatoes, broccoli rabe and a toasty garlic crostini is a stand-out favorite. The premise for Barocco is small plate dishes and a great wine list, with no bottle topping the one hundred dollar mark.
Barocco is the kind of place you can drop by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Stop by in the morning for OJ, a cappuccino and fresh fruit and eggs, come back for soup and salad at lunch and return late in the day to snack on arancini (fried arborio rice croquette with taleggio in a tomato basil sauce), sip a glass of crisp, refreshing Italian white wine, and watch the weird mixture of people strutting down Ninth Avenue.
