Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Carnegie Hill

Café Vincotto is the kind of place that keeps raising the bar, even when you think they can’t possibly get any better, they do. Every visit is a new experience, with thoughtful details, flawless service, and dishes that somehow manage to outdo the last. The staff sets the gold standard for hospitality, making you feel like a cherished guest rather than just another table. It’s rare to find a restaurant that surprises you every time, but Café Vincotto does exactly that.

Zeugma grill never disappoints. The food is excellent, as is the service. I come here every time I am in town.

Literally, our favorite place to eat and bring friends on the upper east side. Consistently excellent food, service and good wine/drinks! I want you to know we cab it to this restaurant as it’s not around the corner, it’s that good! Go and enjoy. You’ll become a regular like us!

Overall, it was decent, not exceptional. Service was great. Good timing between apps & main course, which is always nice. Calamari was a little tough & no legs (a favorite) Ceasar salad was nice (big) short rib ravioli was bland, sauce was too sweet. Bari (rigatoni with shrimp,mushrooms & spinach was delicious (all loved it) even brought some home. Gnocchi was delicious as well. Good spot, byob. Oh yeah focaccia w/ pesto was fantastic. Worth the experience. And a return visit.

One of the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. Staff was phenomenal and the chef and team were soo nice. Highly recommend
