Contorno's is the passion project of the Impagliazzo family, who were looking to introduce NYC to the tastes and feel of their traditional Sunday Family Dinners; a time for family and friends to come together at the dinner table to talk, laugh, and share many small Italian tapas-style dishes of traditional, old world Italian food paired with fine Italian wines. Fellow guests and I enjoyed wine tastings as well as a selection of amazingly delicious "small plate" hors d'oeuvres from the menu developed by executive chef David Buico which included some of the following:
Hand Rolled Ricotta Gnocchi w/ Wild Boar Bolognese & Shaved Dry Ricotta, Gorgonzola and Fresh Honey Comb served on toasted Raisin Walnut Ciabatta, Old fashion Veal Meatballs w/ Chick Pea Puree, Shrimp Al Pancha w/ White Heirloom Beans, Homemade Fettuccine w/ Porcini Mushrooms, Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti, etc. Featured in the photo below are just a few of the must-have entrees available at Contorno's
Some of the wines, led by some of Contorno's favorite sommeliers, indulged guests with wines from around the world.
Dessert was heavenly, a wonderfully delicious way to end the savory and hearty meal we experienced at Contorno's, you must experience the below Milk Chocolate & Pistachio Tart and New York Cheese Cake
On February 28th, Contorno's introduced Wine Flight Tuesday's. Each week GM/Sommelier Marta Cisneros will lead customers in sampling a red or white wine flight from a different region, and help them learn about the wine and how to pair it with different dishes. Contorno's also recently introduced a late night bar menu as well as a weekly Happy Hour Special from 4:30pm-6:30pm— all house wine, well drinks and beer are just $5.00
