Sig. Enzo Aperitivo Bar review


READ MORE

The drinks list starts with a list of spritz and cocktails with five versions of negroni, including barrel-aged and an excellent dark, bitter style with rosso vermouth swapped out for Averna. There are also lists of grappa, amari, vermouth and whisky.


The cocktails are well made, without flash and dazzle but with good ice and glassware. The ubiquitous espresso martini gets a guernsey, as does the unjustly neglected cousin of the Manhattan, the Brooklyn. Maraschino fans will be pleased.


The one-page wine list is all Italian and tops out at $68 for a sangiovese-merlot blend from Montepulciano maker La Braccesca. It’s all easy-drinking stuff and the entire list is available by the glass on the first-come, first-served system pioneered locally in bars like Gerald’s, so what’s available changes throughout the night. Reasonable bottle prices make that path tempting.


There’s good snacking, too. Carnivores must not miss the meatballs, made with pork and beef mince and served in a tomato sauce with or without spaghetti. There are correctly stored and served cured meats and cheeses plus snacks like ‘nduja and ricotta crostini and ridiculously good “Italian fries” topped with grated pecorino and Sicilian oregano.


Dark negroni, from a list of five.
