Danny Meyer’s recent collection of new Italian joints – including Caffé Marchio and Martina Pizzeria – has seen another addition, this time a Roman-style aperitivi bar inside the Redbury Hotel.

Vini e Fritti is a 50-seat bar that celebrates the marriage of bubbles and antipasti in an atmosphere that evokes the easy accessibility and rustic comfort of a Roman wine bar.

The kitchen is headed up by Executive Chef Joe Tarasco (ex Gramercy Tavern), whose concise menu includes casual and unfussy small plates like fritto misto, housemade straciatella, and marinated vegetables. 

To drink, the bar offers a sprawling list of value-driven Champagnes rounded out by a focused selection of Italian reds and whites, craft beers, refreshing spritzes, and other traditional cocktails.
