So easy and delicious. The food is always fresh and perfectly portioned. Wine list is daunting but great.

The service was the worst we've ever experienced in NY. The glass of red wine had an enormous amount of sediment. The waiter excused it as normal, even if you order by glass. After talking to the Manager, he would insult us as "incredible difficult". I'm surprised they call themself Accademia, were you should know, that if you pour wine into a glass, you shouldn't pour the sediment with it. Don't go there!

Accademia di Vino, or the Academy of Wine, brings you nothing short of what is expected from its title. Walk down into the cellar-like decor just around the block from the prestigious Midtown Center on 64th St and feel the ambiance of an Italian setting. This is definitely a place where you would indulge in multiple entrees and spend a good, relaxing amount of time as you stuff yourself full of the originally tailored dishes and read through the journal full of wine. While I may not know the names of everything I ate, I can tell you that the meat was juicy, tender, and flavorful both inside and out. The pastas did not present anything new, but the Asiatic influence of using Kobe beef and sashimi in the mix livened the palette. To conclude the night, the mix of dessert items were fabulous. The nutella pizza was a great complement to the various fruit items. Unfortunately, panna cotta, while delicious, was nothing out of the ordinary. Accademia di Vino is certainly worth a visit, especially for the wine lovers!

Loved the atmosphere- it's so much bigger than it looks from the outside! The menu was extensive and interesting we almost couldn't choose what to order- but everything we decided on was delicious. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable and I have never seen a larger or better organized wine list. Would definitely go again.

One of the worst experiences with service I have had. The wine was brought after the appetizers, I was brought the wrong entree, and by the time the right one was brought out my wife had finished hers, and to top it all off the waiter referred to me as "champ" in his embarrassing attempt at an apology. I was not the only one dissatisfied as there were numerous disgruntled faces around the dining room. The food was OK at best.
