Always a pleasant encounter. Delicious bites, friendly and polite service, cozy intimate ambiance. Enoteca has always delivered. Whether it's summer in the back patio or winter in main dining, any everything in between. Can't wait to go again. read more

A friend and I dropped in for after work drinks. We were on the bar side, the decor was cute and the service was great. Funny enough, we didn't know anything about this location beforehand but followed a couple of other women inside, turns out it was a gin bar and gin is my favorite. My friend ordered the sangria and I went with my fave, a French 75. We ordered the croquettes and patatas bravas. Overall, I loved the drinks, the tapas were ok. The price point is a bit high but I feel it was worth it. read more

Came for dinner and will absolutely be back. The waiters were very kind and had thorough recommendations when we asked. We started with the chicken croquetas. Nice exterior crunch and solid flavor on the filling. My only note is it could have used a touch of salt but I'd definitely order again. Ordered the skirt steak for my main and WOW. Everything on the plate was excellent. Salad was fresh with a delicious balsamic dressing. Potatoes were the perfect combination of crunchy and creamy - the accompanying sauce was flavorful with a hint of spice. Steak was a textbook medium - absolutely delicious. Super impressed by this spot. Highly recommend. read more

10/10! Hidden gem in the neighborhood for sure. The menu is vast and I wanted to try so many things but decided on the paella vegetariania. Amazing as expected. I love that they have so many vegetarian options. I sat in the bar area and the bartender Lucas was amazing! So friendly and so warm the whole time. Also let me sample some new drinks they were adding to the menu that night. I had a gin and tonic on the happy hour menu and some new drinks. All were great. The drinks are so pretty too. I met the owner Marco who is equally as amazing and kind. It was my first time here, but I was treated like a regular, just like family. One of the nicest restaurants in the area. I will certainly become a regular after today. read more

I came here on a first date and I was honestly really not disappointed. I ordered an orange wine and we got the Charcuterie Board to share, which was made with the traditional meat and cheese options. Our waiter behind the bar was really kind and helpful when I asked for a recommendation. I don't normally enjoy alcoholic beverages of any kind so I didn't know anything about what paired nicely with meat or cheese or what cocktails were good for someone who is a serious lightweight. It was recommended that I try the orange wine to go with our food. Until that night I had no idea that Orange wine was even a thing. It was a double surprise to me when I learned that Orange wine wasn't even made with oranges. I don't remember what he ordered but I can say that it looked pretty good. I don't see myself going back to this neighborhood if I'm going to be realistic but I can say that I'm glad that I came and would recommend it to others. read more

Wonderful establishment, great service and the tapas were to die for. Cute, little quaint. It's spot not the best for large groups, but great for an intimate dinner or with a friend. Or if you just want to hang out at the bar. Came on a Saturday night no reservations. I think we got lucky because it was raining. But we ordered a ton of tapas from the patatas bravas, the shrimp with garlic sauce, the crab toast, salad, bacalao croquetas, and octopus. The drinks were nice and strong. It was a great Saturday night. read more

Fantastic upscale Spanish cuisine tucked in small sliver of a lot in Harlem.  We ordered family-style and I would personally recommend about 2-ish dishes per person depending on what you get. Our night came out to around $100 per person after tax, tip, and drinks. My personal favorite was the pulpo (octopus) and the mushroom croquette.  If I came back again, I would order the paella since its so shareable and just makes the table look appetizing.  Food aside, the service was absolutely amazing. The waitstaff hit the perfect balance of attentiveness without being overbearing and whenever we would need something (ie. dropping a fork and needing a new one) they would arrive with what we needed before we could even turn around to ask.  Fun fact: We learned that our server's mother created the recipe for the mushroom croquette (happened to be our favorite one!) So though I am unsure whether or not it is family owned per se, it seems like a tight-knit team with a lot of personality and passion. read more

It's like a vacation in Spain. Authentic. Excellent food and service. Charming atmosphere. Beyond cool.

Delicious tapas and cocktails. The place is a little deceiving as it's a narrow and long restaurant and when we arrived, there was no one inside. But as you walked to the back patio, it's adorable with a cool vibe and great lighting and quickly got filled up! The service is friendly and helpful. The octopus was the top seller as every table ordered it (as did we). It's a not to be missed tapa. We also ordered the patata bravas (piping hot and creamy) and pepper dish (see photo). we split the basque cream cheese and it was tremendous. SAVE ROOM for dessert. Good reminder to not judge a book by it's cover and so glad we went inside to enjoy the ambiance, company and food! Bravo! read more

This is one of my favorite bars. The best staff and such a pretty space. Their wallpaper is amazing. They have over 200 gins. I never drink gin outside of this bar. They also have a really good wine and vermouth selection. They have food and drinks HH on weekdays until 7pm. When the weather is nicer, their back patio is also open and they offer a creme brulee that's amazing. read more

This is one of my favorite new discoveries as of late. This was one of those epicurean evenings where everything from the food to the ambience to the attentive attention from the owner and staff was absolutely and utterly flawless. The photos of our unbelievable and mouthwatering dishes tells the story ... this goes beyond tapas. It's gourmet tapas and then some, with each dish even more delicious than the one before. Wonderful from start to finish. And what a lovely place too boot. Whether you want to sit at the window at the front and people watch as you dine or sit on the inviting, romantic (or perfect for a group of friends who want to have a nice evening out) and perfectly lit area in the back, there's something for everyone and every occasion. read more

Went here on a weekend! They were not busy but I do recommend a reservation. Upon entry, we were greeted by the waiter. He was extremely nice and asked us if we prefer inside or outside seating. The place is spacious and definitely on a hot day, I recommend sitting outside. We sat down and ordered their bottomless sangrias, potato's braves, and steak and egg dishes. It took about 20 minutes after ordering to receive our first round of sangrias and a bit longer than that before our first appetizers. The food was a bit underwhelming. There was a general lack in salt and also the steak did not come with the sides listed on the menu. I think they really struggled with having too many servers helping one table. Things got confusing and the food was delayed. All in all I got lit off the sangria portions. read more

Quite by accident, we had brunch here, and now we can't wait to return. We were looking for someplace else, but the friendly manager, Ibia, (we are probably not remembering his name correctly. Sorry.) drew us in with his smile.The eggplant dish was fantastic. The baby squid was fantastic. The authentic Spanish cheesecake was fantastic. The jambon crochets were fantastic. The chicken wrapped in bacon was fantastic. Our host let me try a few wines and I settled on a Crianza that was bright and flavorful. My husband loved the mocktail he created! We don't get to Harlem often but this place will bring us back soon. PS: When a Yelp Elite reviewer simply uses the word "fantastic", it probably means that he doesn't have time to tell you each aspect of what he enjoyed. In short, I like distinctive food with strong personality. I like friendly staff and alluring ambience. I got all that here. read more

We made reservations for brunch after Easter Sunday. It's a really cute bougie spot. The ambiance is intimate. There were 6 of us and 1 toddler. Three different couples. The menu was a bit overwhelming since we didn't know what half of it was but we ordered a few items I saw that were good from other reviews. The portions are pretty small but super yummy. They did have a brunch menu which included some sandwiches. The waiters didn't speak fluent English but they were sweet! Overall, it was great but would maybe come with only my husband and one couple. read more

I'm not a New Yorker, but I like cozy, ambiance, good service, and good food. Enoteca Harlem was within walking distance of the hotel, and I needed a nice spot to meet a colleague. Spanish sounded good for us both, and it did not disappoint. My partner had paella, and I had the black paella. By Midwestern standards, this appeared to be a small portion with just a few bits of seafood. Then we had our first bites... sometimes, just sometimes, a first bite of food forces you to slow down and savor... to relish in the deep intensity of flavors. Suddenly, there was no rush and the plate very slowly disappeared. It was plenty. I have no complaints about the service, although we were early and there were few other patrons. I hope to be back. read more

Was excited to try Enoteca but unfortunately left disappointed. I showed up around 4pm yesterday and the indoor dining area was practically empty. There were some folks seated outside but all in all not very full for a Sunday afternoon. I was greeted right away and decided to sit inside in the beautiful dining area. Pretty immediately I ordered the bottomless sangria and the patatas bravas as an appetizer. Despite being practically empty, it took almost 15 minutes to get my first drink. The patatas bravas took about the same amount of time. As the appetizer came out I ordered my entree which was the skirt steak and eggs with a side salad. When it came out though I noticed that there were no eggs included and potatoes had been substituted instead. Flavor-wise, I thought the food was decent but nothing to write home about. Almost every item was lacking in salt which really made the food lackluster. The highlight of the meal would have to be the sangria- not too sweet and definitely wine forward! I also felt that the servers were friendly and kind. read more

Quaint, long restaurant with twinkle lights, and really good sangría! The wine list has a bunch of wines from both Spain and Chile and the menu is based on northern Spain's San Sebastian region, which is in the Basque country, and known for its culinary excellence. My friend and I split las croquetas mixtas-all very tasty! My favorite was the shrimp croqueta which had coconut milk and slight Thai flair to it. We also split the octopus which was delicious. Friendly service! Enoteca will definitely become a regular spot. ¡Buen provecho! read more

We had high expectations. The food was great but not outstanding. Crab on crostini (2) appetizer, $14. I forget the Spanish name. It was tasty but had a little too much paprika atop. I was expecting a lot more creativity for this dish. We followed with the mixed croquettas, 8 balls of loveliness. all different flavors and just the right size for a middle course. These were delicious. Finally, Black Paella, ($35) this was the weak link in the meal, it tasted ok but nothing stood out. One piece of squid, 6 shrimp and 2 mussels. The service was outstanding, I think our server was Mario. He went above and beyond in making sure we were pleased. We tasted the white and red sangrias but settled on a pina colada ish cocktail which was a special as cocktails are a Sunday thing only. The ambiance was cool and cozy - beautifully decorated. It's a small space with small tables and unfortunately the man behind us had a foghorn voice which carried and made it impossible for us to relax. There is a no phone policy but the single diner by us was on her phone the whole time she was eating and Mr. Foghorn had his phone out showing his companion this and that. In a nutshell, just not as creative or polished as we expected. read more

I absolutely loved Enoteca! Last night was my first time checking it out, based on a coworker's recommendation and I am so glad that I dined here. Enoteca is a tapas and wine restaurant, which means that the food comes out on small plates that are meant to be shared with your party. This is my favorite dinner style because I get to order and eat a bunch of different dishes. The restaurant offers a good variety of wines from Spain and Chile. My girlfriend ordered a glass of Chilean Syrah, which was pretty good and had a hint of sweetness. I ordered the Kalimocho, which is a cocktail made from red wine, cola, and lemon sorbet. The Kalimocho is similar to a sangria, however, the Kalimocho is sweeter and has more body to it. It was my first time ordering one and I absolutely enjoyed it! To start we ordered olives. We were given olives of different sizes and of different colors. My favorite ones were the small green ones and the large green ones. The large ones were pretty juicy. The Croquetas de jamón were pretty decent. There were small pieces of ham in them that added to the flavor of the croquettes, however, the creaminess of the inside definitely dominated the interior of the dish. I did love how well-seasoned the crispy shell of the Croquetas were. The lobster claw tapas were phenomenal!!! This must be the restaurant's take on a warm lobster roll. The large lobster claws were placed on top of a bed of lobster meat, that was layered onto a buttery crostini. The whole dish came together really well and I highly considered ordering seconds of the plate. The octopus was decent, but not as good as many of the other dishes that we ordered. The octopus pieces were placed on top of a bed of herbed-potato and were drizzled with olive oil. The potatoes were missing something (maybe more herbs?) and the octopus pieces could have been cooked just a bit more and then the plate would have been great. Lastly, we ended the night with a salad with fried goat cheese. The salad itself consisted of greens, red onions, beets, and some seeds. The salad's dressing was on the sweeter side and tasted great. The fried goat cheese balls were definitely the star of the plate, though. The cheese balls were crispy, but the goat cheese inside was creamy. It all tied in really well with each other. Overall, Enoteca is a great restaurant and I will definitely love to come back. I will recommend this restaurant to people that I know that are coming to town. I want to try some of the desserts here, as well. read more

I was so late to the party. I live only 4 blocks away and only visited Enoteca after the pandemic, years (?) after it opened. But all is well that ends well. Now that I know, I know.... I absolutely love Enoteca!. It's well-appointed, pretty and cozy. The staff is super nice, warm and accommodating. I have been here for dinner three times (once, outside and twice, in) and each time, the vibe, food and staff were consistent. I love the personal touch of customers writing their experience in a journal. And reading people's stories. Only recently realized that they have a gin bar. All the better for my Negronis. I intend to try all 149 options! And I intend to make up for lost time and visit as much as possible. I'll see you tonight! Xoxo #ChiChi read more

Enoteca Harlem - Pulpo - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Fair? Food was excellent, the service on the other hand was not. We suspected the waiter forgot to put our paella order in after he came to ask us if we were going to order anything else after only a couple of tapas and then, when we said we were waiting for our paella, proceeded to tell us that the paella would "take some time". He then actively ignored us for over an hour after repeatedly trying to get his attention to fill our empty wine and water glasses. When he finally came back around he said his colleague had mistakenly given our paella to another table and he was annoyed at him. Not quite an apology. To his credit he offered a comped dessert, but honestly too little too late. Not sure if this is the norm here, but it's a real tragedy considering it was one of the better paella's I've had in the city. One expects more at this high price point. I likely won't be back. read more

I have to come back here and try the wines. My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place. The couple of things we did get were really good. The restaurant itself is really cute, it was a pretty hot the day we went and we couldn't feel a fan or AC. Otherwise, we would have probably stayed longer but instead we got a few tapas. The service was great, the staff was very nice, and the food was really good. I definitely have to pop back in to try more things. read more

Nice ambiance. Reasonably priced. But, the food was disappointing. I hope it was just the product of a Sunday night and the main chef was off. Paella rice and mashed potato were both unpleasantly gummy. The seafood universally did not seem fresh - The Langistino was overcooked and fell apart. The octopus lacked char and flavor. The flank steak was, again, just ok, but probably the best thing we had. Too much marinade. read more

Enoteca is our favorite neighborhood bar & restaurant. Everyone there is always welcoming and positive. The menu is fantastic & authentic and the wine list is well-selected & varied. If you're a gin drinker, this is the place to be! We have never seen such a vast array of gins. We wish Marco (the amazing, funny, warm & talented proprietor) would offer gin flights! Perfect with charcuterie and pate! One of the best things about it is the music. Always dining room appropriate; recognizable but not pounding; not too loud. You can have a conversation. It's a great option for date-night. read more

High level customer care and positive energy here. Very appreciated! Food was good, too!
