Delicious, unique food. Each dish has a potent combination of flavors and textures. It's a festive room and the staff is very friendly. I love sitting at the bar while people watching or meeting fellow diners. It's a fantastic restaurant.
The best Spanish Basque spot in the city. Highly recommend this place

This is a review of the even by Tasting Collective that we attended. It was a 10 course Traditional Basque Feast. This restaurant is owned and operated by husband and wife chef team. They have a few other restaurants in NYC. I always enjoy Basque style food, Spanish cuisine and tapas, so I was excited for this event.
The interior is heavy with wood, making it cozy and warm atmosphere that is so inviting. They have two rooms, one with a bar and small amount of seating, and another room with many more table seating.
We were pretty crammed in the second room, barely fitting the table, sitting over the edge… And since there were no space to put everyone’s coats and bags, the seating was really, REALLY tight.
At this event, we got to try Marijuli, Croqueta de Bakalo, Pimientos de Gernika, Mondatio Tutera, Pulpo de Roca, Gulas del Monte, Bakalo Andra Mari, Pochas, Cochinillo, and Txakoli Poached Pear. Even though this was a tasting event, the amount of food we received was very small. They were all tasty, high quality, and some dishes were even creative and very interesting. I wish if we had a bit more portion so that we could fully appreciate the flavor of each dish. The best thing fro the 10 course was Pulpo de Roca and the dessert.
We had a nice dinner here. Each dish was very tasty and high quality. I liked the uniqueness of the dishes and creativity that came with it. It was not as comfortable, as we were over the edge of the table, and the portion received was small…but we were still happy to attend this event. Chef Alex was great, provided us with loads of interesting information and very personable.
This was a phenomenal dinner, my photos below only represent a small selection of what we actually ate. Warm, charming and lovely, Txikito is the perfect place to go with a group and share several selections. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is lovely. The trout with Serrano ham was probably my favorite, however everything was very tasty. The deviled crab was also a favorite. We also tried two lovely riojas which paired wonderfully with the food. This is also a great entry point for folks who are not too familiar with Spanish cuisine. The pulpo (pictured below) is nothing like the traditional plating, and could be more approachable for people who are intimidated by a tentacle. Same goes for the tongue, I thought it was delicious, but my husband and father-in-law said it didn't taste anything like tongue! Whatever you choose to order, be sure to enjoy it in good company with good wine.
Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious. Bartender was helpful and informed me about the menu. We went with most of his suggestion. Tx!!
Just as good as El Quinto Pino 😍
I was the only one left sitting at the bar (late reservation on a Sunday night) eating amazing dish after amazing dish.
Láminas de Setas was seriously off the chain. Unbelievable 🔥🔥🔥
I forget the server and bartender's names (Sorry guys) but they were spectacular.
And I've had that cookbook in my Amazon cart for over a year... Now I have a signed edition!
Distinct flavors and dishes like the Pulpo Octopus Carpaccio or the Arraultza Chorizo are definitely some of the reasons to visit this cozy West Side restaurant.
Thos place is amazing. Walk there and enjoy Chelea. Everything we ate was great. Their wine selection was fabuloud as well.
