If you're a lover of Italian small plates with distinctive flair and/or a curated wine list filled…read morewith exotic grapes and niche finds, you should definitely give El Vino Crudo a try. It's a cozy little restaurant that was perfect for our recent short stay in Old San Juan. I was impressed with the wine list, which featured sparkling, white, orange, rose, and red options by the glass and of course a more extensive list of bottles. I opted for two different sparkling options, a Pineau d'Aunis (rose) from the Loire Valley (strawberry notes) and a Verdeca (white) from Puglia (melon, white flowers). I drink a lot of wine and have never heard of these grapes at all, so they were fun to check out and delicious to boot. We also tried a number of different bites. They were all good, but these were the most memorable: Apio gnocchi - delightfully pillowy and nutty Dulce de papaya and prosciutto - lightly sweet and savory all at once. This might be an even better version of the more popular prosciutto and melon dish. Partamra olive oil cake - so lemony and moist Beet ice cream - this was wild! For sure my first time trying beet ice cream. It was barely sweet and had a very thick, almost custard-like texture. Special shout out to the staff, who were all so nice and chill and knowledgeable.

She looked like she was just a cleaner-waitress (not sure), but she did yell out something about "sh_t" to us, so we went to see the manager, who seemed not to be trained for this type of thing.

Ambiente: Como todo establecimiento en Suchville Plaza, puedes sentarte adentro o afuera. Decidimos adentro para tener aire acondicionado. Desafortunadamente hizo calor. O el aire está apagado/dañado o el calor de la cocina se apoderó del salón. Quizás afuera hubiese sido mejor. Lugar es agradable. Bueno para familias pero también un buen lugar para llevar un "date" aunque no sea tan íntimo. El lugar es pequeño. Tiene una cava. Servicio: excelente. Nuestro mesero muy simpático y atento. Contestó todas nuestras preguntas e hizo buenas recomendaciones. Bebidas: se llama Cien Vinos. Gran variedad de vinos, mayormente españoles. No pregunté por las opciones de cervezas. Nos fuimos con un vino tinto llamado El Hombre Bala. Una garnacha. Era livianita y agradable. Comida: El menú mayormente consiste de tapas, pero también tienen hamburguesas, pizzetas y platos principales. Decidimos comenzar con unas tapas: patatas bravas, pimientos piquillos y albóndigas. Todo muy bueno, pero las patatas estuvieron de show. Tienes la opción de añadirle serrano frito. Hazlo. Luego pedimos la Pizzeta Mediterránea. Muy rico. Si te gusta el balsámico te va a gustar. Para culminar pedimos la decadencia de chocolate de postre. Es como un molten. Muy bueno también. En fin, una buena experiencia. Podemos regresar.

Always a delicious meal at cien vinos! All the service is very attentive, you feel like family here.read more

Such a fun dining experience in Old San Juan--I'd highly recommend it! The space is very small and…read moreintimate, with a cool neon purple light adding to the vibe. The menu changes constantly and isn't written down, so I can't remember exactly what I had, but everything was absolutely delicious. The first course, which included a mini lobster roll and a tart, was my favorite. My friend loved the second course, a crudo, and said it was the best. Every dish was unique, creative, and full of flavor. We left completely stuffed. One thing to note: the cocktails are all premixed, so they can't adjust the sweetness or other preferences, which was a slight downside. Still, the overall experience was great--and the chef/owner was incredibly kind and personable!

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

Each entree that we ordered was nearly licked cleaned from how good it was. Our favorites of the night were the lobster ravioli and ribs.
