Every single tapas dish that we had, from the octopus to the assorted meats and cheeses plate, to the absolutely delectable shrimp in white wine and butter sauce, was above perfec...

Food was fine, and the place is pretty cool, but the waitstaff was slow and pretty clueless. Worst of all was the rude bartender. Ordered a $9 rioja from the WInes by the Glass me...

Great Experience 10/24/2002

I had dinner here on a Tuesday night. The decor is very interesting, kind of sexy. The food was ok, I think my selections weren't the best ones. However, what would bring me back is the wonderful service. The waitress was very polite,sweet and helpful and the staff was all smiles....a great experience! more

Let down! 10/10/2002

What a let down... decor may cool and trendy...service was awful...our waiter kept pouring sangria to the rim trying to make us buy more and even took my first wine glass away when I wasnt even done... I still had a 1/4 glass.....as for food...yah, it's yummy but portions vs. prices are rather high. (5) small "piggy back dates" for $10.00 is a rip off. Pros: romantic, trendy, great decor Cons: service bad, pushy, snobby more

Unique, delicious dishes 10/9/2002

Went to Pipa for the 4th time last night and it was delicious as usual. Terrific red wine sangria and an amazing array of tasty, interesting dishes that you won't find anywhere else. Great vegetarian and meat dishes. Highly recommend the escalivada and any of the flatbread dishes. This is a perfect place to eat and share unique tastes. The service can be a little slow but not enough to be a big deal. Pros: Food, Menu Choices more

Sexy decor and tasty tapa... 10/7/2002

I went to Pipa on a Saturday night with a group of ten for a birthday party. We did have to wait about half an hour for our table, but the manager was very nice and at one point sent over a complimentary pitcher of their delicious sangria. The decor is beautiful and the food was excellent. Very good portions of tapas, and the flatbreads were all wonderful. I will definetly go back to Pipa. more

A stellar performance. 9/9/2002

Granted it's been a year, but my experience with Pipa was outstanding. We were originally seated (without a reservation) at a table that we didn't like. When we asked, we were immediately and politely moved to a much better one. Our waiter was immensely helpful and patient. We insisted on trying a selection that he said was not up to par; when we admitted later that he'd been correct, he removed the charge for that selection. The four of us drank two good bottles of wine, savored the food and enjoyed the atmosphere. We'll be back our next New York trip, and hope that our experience was the norm. Pros: Great Food, Helpful Staff, Pricey, but worth it more

Are you kidding? 8/8/2002

My dining experience at Pipa was less than memorable. After making a reservation for 2 for patio seating on a Tuesday night, they made us wait for 40 minutes. They claimed another party had seated themselves at our table so we ended up waiting until another table left. We ordered soup and 2 tapas for dinner. The soup took 20 minutes to get to our table and the tapas never came. The food wasn't even that good. I would not recommend. more

More than tapas 7/30/2002

The food was great and the sangria was even better, but the seating was a bit too crowded. It was cool how all the employees' names, even the busboys, were listed on the menu. I'd definitely go back for the shrimp... Pros: Great tapas, Special sangria Cons: Tight seating more

Owner Message

  • Pipa is Spanish slang for having a good time and the people of New York are doing just that at Pipa Tapas y Mas. Innovative tapas, flavorful sangria and specialty cocktails, a bustling bar scene, great music and countless chandeliers set the scene at this enchanting location.

Editorial

  • The Scene
    Inside, the restaurant feels almost tent-like. Entering the candle-filled space is like opening the doors on a gypsy hideaway.

    The Food
    The traditional and interpretive tapas throw a sharp focus on the definitive themes of Spanish cuisine. Few styles of cooking place such an importance on texture--baby eels in a sizzling slick of oil, for example, is nudged just a shade away from pasta by the crackle of tiny bones under your teeth. Garlic is another constant, with its fascinating range of application throughout a meal--from subtle background agent to aggressive palate-prickler.
