Wow. This might be one of my favorite bars! Open since 1890, it's full of rich history and has…read moreclearly been a neighborhood staple for generations. I'm so glad I got the chance to go. The energy was incredible--definitely the kind of local spot where people come to relax and hang out like it's their second home. The drinks were fantastic, and I loved that they offered such a wide variety. They even had regular hot tea if you wanted something non-alcoholic, plus a whole range of other NA options. The space itself is amazing and surprisingly spacious, with outdoor seating as well. I didn't get to catch the live music this time, but they have it every night! I'll definitely be back :) P.S. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM in the back.

I grabbed a wine that the bar was offering that day as a special and sat inside by myself. Where I tell you that it was great to just see people come in and out and the bar remain busy. The service was quick from the bartender and she was making sure people got their drinks and could funnel through the line. The empanada pop up was tasty and there were people lined up and waiting. The guy whose popup it was was from Mamacha Empanadas and he makes sure to recommend both of the salsas. I wish I had gotten at least 4 more, it was that good.

Well, I made the right choice and thank you to each individual who recommended the location. When I arrived, I checked out the tap list and was blown away by the offerings they had.

I got a few different pours, including one of my favorite Canadian breweries (Messorem really needs to get some beer down to Minnesota).

They do a great steak frites & fried chicken sando that I shared w/ three other people. It was great getting to taste everything. They had the orange wine which they loved. I ordered a gimlet, it wasn't the best. That's what happens when your at a wine bar. However, I will not be giving this spot up just b/c of that. I may have been an off night for the bartender.

Gersi is a neighborhood favorite. I've never had an issue with a walk in and the food never fails…read moreto disappoint. Upon arrival you're not able to ignore the carefully curated boutique & aristocratic Tuscan vibe. Small chandeliers hang from the ceiling with exposed brick and intricate detailing to keep you cozy no matter what season you visit. Gersi does comfort well. We started with our wine orders, montepulciano and Sauvignon Blancs and an order of bruschetta. They have a bruschetta section of their menu, and we opted for the garlic, chili, & olive oil with anchovies on the side. I didn't realize bruschetta had different variations outside of the classic chopped tomato and basil topping so this felt more like a variation of garlic bread to me. But still perfectly soft and crusty. For our mains, we ordered the spaghetti limone, linguine vagole, and chicken parm alla vodka. The spaghetti limone is a bright dish that captures the sun's rays onto a plate to brighten any day with its glossy lemon and butter finish. The linguine vangole seizes the tastes of the ocean with the saltwater clams cooked perfectly into al dente linguine for a comfort punched light dish (that I still packed home with leftovers). The genius of the chicken parm with substituted vodka sauce instead of marinara stole the show. It was a version of a spicy rigatoni with a perfect chicken cutlet that invited you back bite after bite. This is not on the menu so you specifically have to order it this way, but if you're in the know then you know. This wasn't my first, second, or third time to gersi and I'll continue to be coming back - winter, spring, summer, and fall.

The food is up to the exacting standard that New York demands of its Italian cuisine. Don't expect a Carbone or Torrisi rival, but don't expect the glittering, nauseating Instagram-fueled hype machine of those places either. This is uncomplicated, unglamorous comfort in the same way a favorite sweater or a long marriage is. Come with your partner, split a bottle of wine, have one of their eight or so nightly pasta specials, and end with the tiramisu. And hey, how lucky are you to live in a place where this kind of delicious joy is a quotidian experience?
