Such a fun and unique restaurant concept. Dominican and Italian food somehow work perfectly together here. The atmosphere is beautiful with moody lighting, colorful decor, and a gorgeous bar area. Loved the Italian-style shrimp with tostones, cheesy eggplant parm, four formaggi pizza, and squid ink pasta with shrimp. The Jungle Bird cocktail was great, and it was my first time trying an orange spritz which I highly recommend. Also don't skip dessert -- the warm bread pudding with chocolate ice cream was so good. Definitely one of the more unique spots I've tried in upper Manhattan. read more

This is one of those places in the Dyckman area that surprises you. The food is amazing and you can always tell from their sandwiches and the Italian sandwich I had was sublime. The bread is made in Josie by their chef and it was literally an English muffin. Despite the neighborhood, people who have a palate for good Italian food steps in there and their bartender is one of the best I've seen. I can't wait to go back and try their Chicken Sandwic read more

Came here for Happy Hour with a large group of friends, and we took over the place. The space was small and cozy with colorful, cheerful decor with royal blue and yellow color schemes, and books all around. I ordered the Italian Sandwich from the Happy Hour menu, which was $12. This also came with fries, which was a nice surprise. The Italian sandwich consisted of salame piccante, bresaola, mortadella, prosciutto cotto, tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, as well as olive oil. The bread was nice and soft, while the ingredients were well seasoned and came together beautifully. Fries were thick cut and satisfyingly crunchy, full of potato goodness. Service was good, but a little slow. There was only 1 person taking orders and he was very friendly and was able to provide separate checks, which was impressive. Prices were reasonable as well, even on the regular menu. I would definitely return to try the Steak, Branzino Del Meditarraneo, and the El Tanque Platter (to be shared with 3-4 people). read more

Great service.Michael was very attentive and the food very tasty. I will recommend the restaurant

Astonishing food, service and setting! El Tanque Trattoria is a find! We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered and seated at a cozy table with a window view. This sweetly decorated, intimate, unassuming spot, exudes tons of charm and serves up perfectly prepared food. I ordered a pizza, which was delicious, and paired perfectly with a skillfully prepared, Dirty Martini. Mr. Wonderful had a hamburger with hot, crisp fries and a draft beer. We also shared a house salad with two delectable dressings. Note: Check out the books on the ceiling and the secret bookcase door to the restroom = charming! El Tanque Trattoria has a place in our hearts and a spot on our "favorites place" list, for when we return. read more

Michael and Renny were great hosts. This place has amazing food and the service was good even though we had a very large group reservation. The drinks were on point - my favorite was the Mezcal Negroni. The decor was warm with intimate lighting. They feature the coolest bathroom in all of Dyckman. Highly recommended for all occasions. read more

I don't always experience great food and great service and decor in the same place so wanted to share this hidden gem in the hopes they do well. But not toooo well I want to be able to get in. El Tanque is located in Inwood and has mainly italian food with a Dominican twist. They do weekday happy hour till 7pm in restaurant, 9pm in the bar on food and drink. I had two pizzas which were light and delicious and a sangria and limoncello spritz I will make sure to order again. While the bartender wasn't aware of our 16-person reservation, he let on no surprise or annoyance. Instead, he jumped into action and came up with a plan even if it meant him having to juggle 16 people's orders on his own. He was never rude or let on any kind of attitude. He was patient as people reviewed the menu and truly made us all feel taken care of. We ended up staying long past happy hour. He knew what each person had and even let us all pay separately! Unheard of! I have sent friends since then and they all have commented on how hard the staff works and how much they clearly want to please. My friend is librarian and fell in love with the decor. There are so many small touches you can tell the owners took their time to make this neighborhood restaurant just right. It is one of my new favorites and I can't wait to go back! Michael at the bar was also our server and did a great job handling my group. THANK YOU, Michael and the other staff that later came to help! read more

This place is easy to miss when walking by, but such a gem in Inwood! The food is soooooo good and the portions are generous. Their food happy hour is $9 which is perfect for stopping by when i'm too lazy to cook, haha. From the super cute books on the ceiling to the awesome bartender Michael which makes the vibe even more chill, this place is a must! It's a perfect, fancy enough for a sexy date and relaxed enough for a casual pop in. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Michael made our night with his amazing service and top-notch drinks--he really knows how to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The chef is just as impressive--the food is absolutely delicious, with a perfect blend of Italian and Dominican flavors that's hard to find anywhere else. Their happy hour is a gem in the neighborhood: not only are the drinks affordable, but they also have a great variety of food options (which is rare around here!). It's one of those spots where you can come for the specials and stay because everything--from the atmosphere to the service--is just that good. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Literally stumbled across this place and beyond happy that I did! I was in the verge of being "HANGRY" ! I Was seated and served quickly. I also asked the the bartender Michael to whip me up something and it was mouth watering. I ordered a brushetta and a skirt steak and it didn't even NEED a steak knife. It was juicy and tender. Everything tasted fresh and cooked with good ingredients. I inhaled the food and drinks quickly so no pictures! This will definitely be my go place from now on!! GREAT to find a local chill spot with great quality food and service!!! Cheers to the owners!!! read more

I loved everything about our visit to El Tanque Trattoria Bar. From their food, the drinks and their amazing service, thank you to our host Adonis for that. I had their famous Spaghetti Carbonara and my husband had the Penne A La Vodka, both dishes were incredible. We both had "La Boheme" cocktail and let me tell you, it was superb . We also tried their Creme Brulee and it was perfect with just the right amount of sweetness to it. I will definitely return to try their Dominican Power Pizza that looks so delicious. I 100% recommend this restaurant. read more

Very nice small spot to go & friendly environment. The food is good and price affordable.

Found this jewel of restaurant on a Saturday night. Hostess and waitress seated us right away and took our drink orders. Ordered a pizza, Mexican hamburger and side mixed green salad. Food was delicious and served quickly. The restaurant was pleasant and not too busy at the time we were there on a Saturday night. Will return when back in the Inwood neighborhood. read more

I recently dined at "El Tanque", with a group of friends and the experience exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was inviting and the atmosphere was very intimate. The service was impeccable and not once we had to get our server's attention because he was always paying attention to our table and offering recommendations. I must say that my favorite part was the food. The presentation of the dishes were a truly feast for the eyes and portions were generous. Ps. Do not forget to try the "Spaghetti Carbonara" it was my favorite dish hands down!!! read more

I love to visit restaurants and share my opinion with the world. It was my first time visiting El Tanque, and I loved everything from the welcoming staff to the fantastic (hood portion) food. If you're looking for a place where you will get the best food and drinks, this is the place for you! I love going to places where they value the opinions and suggestions of the customer. The recommendations provided were also great. The waitress, Aimee, was AMAZING! She was very attentive and constantly checked in to make sure everyone was well. Lastly, I'll say that the ambiance was everything and more. If you don't mind enjoying great food, incredible drinks, and a reminder of Italy, you've got to visit! PS. Soon the owner will add books to allow those who live to escape with a good read. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you for the amazing service and hospitality! #SupportLocal #LationBusinessOwners read more

I went here for my birthday with my family. The food so good. The service needs some tweaking because I'm a vegetarian and my cousin a vegan. They didn't know what that was and kept offering us meats and other things like that. The ambiance is so cute and so a great place for those who love to take pictures for Instagram so ambiance is picture perfect. read more
