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...

superb dining experience 10/15/2006

My dinner experience last Thursday at Pipa was memorable, and still lingers in my palate and mind thanks to the succulent tapas and the outstanding service provided by our server that night, an extremely professional and affable Spaniard. Pineapple mojitos to startoff, and a delightful Ribera to match the myriad of tapas that we ordered. The server and helpers seemed to be in perfect sync, and their sense of hospitality ( sadly, a rarity in NYC ) did create an overall cordial and festive atmosphere. Scallops, dates, croquettes and Paella were truly delicious. Pros: service, location, food Cons: make a reservation! gets really crowded!! more

Pretty Chandeliers & Great Food 7/2/2006

Pipa has some real old world charm that you don't really notice from the outside. It's dark, and dimly lit with candles and chandeliers, kind of like being inside an old castle and kind of romantic. The food is amazing and during times when it's slow, you are also able to order from sister restaurant Lucy's Kitchen. The duck breast was amazing and they have a great, extensive wine list. more

Great food + ambiance, below average service 6/2/2006

The food and ambiance is great in this restaurant that I have now been to a few times. However, each time I am surprised by the slowness of the initial service to the extreme fast pace of the food to come out... When you initially sit down, the waiter takes quite some time to make it to your table. However, once you order, all the food comes in an incredible speed making your conversations concentrate at the beginning and end of the dinner. If only this could be improved... Pros: ambiance, food Cons: service more

Great space - poor value 5/4/2006

I really want to love this place b/c it's in such a fantastic, magical space, but I need a much better value. I ordered assorted olives which consisted of two kinds, the majority were tiny caper-size kind that are all pit and no meat. Next the bacon-wrapped almond-stuffed dates were delicious but with only 4 dates on your plate, I felt jipped. Lastly, I had patatas bravas...better than what I had in Barcelona...but lets get real! All they are is home fries with aioli! Finally the sangria was expensive grape juice. Maybe Im a lush, but I expect sangria to have a little kick esp. after 5 glasses! Lastly, the bartender didnt give me detailed bill, just my credit card receipt to sign. I asked for it, but he shrugged me off and since it was a birthday I didnt want to make a fuss in front of everyone. Pros: great space Cons: poor value more

Fried Calamari 3/29/2006

Simple the best I've ever had in my life. I been here several time & the tappas are excellent. The main dishes are decent, you probably won't be able to finish both plates. Also very happy with the service Pros: Calamari 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.
