Ballarò

Ballarò is the best Italian wine and tapas bar in the East Village. The erstwhile café and music venue rose in popularity in April 2013, when the cozy place was converted into a comfortable space to hang out, relax, unwind, and enjoy delicious wines and fresh Italian food designed and prepared by authentic Italians.

Much more than an average restaurant, Ballarò is a true Italian tapas and wine bar with singularly affordable prices. Offering 15 appetizers at $7 each, $6 glasses of red, white, and rose wine at nightly Happy Hours during the week, and a robust brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays – among other incredible wine and meal deals – this charming bar-restaurant is the ideal spot for a date night, after-work gathering, or a few drinks with good friends.

Ballarò features intimate tables, seating at the expansive bar, and a full outdoor patio to enjoy the lovely seasonal weather. It also hosts art exhibitions that rotate an average of once a month, both supporting national artists and promoting appreciation of local talent. Stop by seven days a week to sample the most mouthwatering Italian basics in the East Village! For more information on Ballarò, call the Italian wine and tapas bar at (212) 228-2969. Buon appetito!
