Taking a break for Oysters….Virgola

Pause! And why not? Especially if it involves a decadent plate of oysters and a beautiful bottle of wine. Virgola, which means “comma” in Italian, is not just a new oyster and wine bar in the West Village. It’s a reason to stop, sit down, and enjoy the small pleasures in life, particularly the ones that come in a shell.

Among all of the restaurants and bars on the bustling Greenwich Street in New York City, Virgola occupies a quaint narrow space. One that was previously an alleyway, dating back to industrial 19th century Manhattan. Transformed into a six foot wide restaurant, it still harbors the original ground floors and a little sense of history. The wine bar has all of the aphrodisiac elements of intimacy, and we are not talking about the oysters. Dim lights, red leather banquettes, and an arch gated entrance that reveals exuberant towers of crustacean heaven.

The open kitchen in the back is uniquely built to produce the well orchestrated menu selection. We recommend starting with one of their platters, or towers as they come served. Broken into three categories, depending on the level of one’s grandiose craving, it’s a great way to sample a variety of seafood. They also serve locally and imported charcutterie and formaggi, which pair well with the wine and beer selection.
And what better way to cut the brininess of those oysters then with a divine nutella toast for dessert.

For the month of February, TheOysterBlog is collaborating with Virgola and offering OysterBlog followers a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. All you have to do is mention TheOysterBlog when dining or making your reservation at Virgola.
5% of the proceeds generated from the collaboration will also go to Give a Kid a Dream foundation.
