Vivaro Wine Bar

Part wine bar/part restaurant, this hopping place is not just a meal, it's an experience. If you want to eat, reserve a table in advance, as it fills up. The owner/chef Gennaro is the star of the show, suggesting wines and bringing out plates to suit your palate. There is no menu; he'll offer what he's cooking that day, and you can choose if you want surf or turf or something of both.

There is a huge wine selection, and you can eat as little or as much as you want to go with it. Gennaro will bustle among tables and in-and-out of the kitchen like a choreographer and actor. Sit back and enjoy the show (and the eats!).
