When asked, people repeatedly named Il Posto Accanto as one of their favorite wine bars in the neighborhood. “The food is authentic, and not only is the wine list lengthy, but the staff are extremely knowledgeable,” is how one gentleman phrased it. After sampling a classic and delicious Rigatoni Bolognese with a glass of red wine – both recommendations of the owner – the Manhattan Sideways team had to agree. The wine stock is exclusively Italian, and because they are open “until the last warm body leaves, usually around 3:00 am,” a late-night menu of small plates is available even after the kitchen closes.
