| Bar Veloce opened its doors in
March, 2000 in
Manhattan's East Village. Fusing an Italian-style paninoteca (Panini bar) with a modern wine bar, its goal was to deliver
exciting, reasonably priced Italian wine and food to discerning New
Yorkers. That being said, the focus never strayed from the fact that Bar
Veloce is a BAR, not a café, lounge or restaurant. European-styled and
modeled as a "fast bar", a pit-stop. Owner and visionaire Frederick E.
Twomey found great inspiration for Bar Veloce during his time spent in
Europe, finding himself drawn to the counters of casual bars for
refreshment while en route. He designed Bar Veloce to serve as a
watering, feeding, and meeting point where people gather for a quick
glass of wine and a superior bite to eat, simultaneously enjoying a
sophisticated, comfortable space with attentive and professional
service. In spirit of being a “fast bar,” food and wine at Veloce is delivered with precision at the original communal table – the bar – giving customers the freedom to set their own pace for their experience. Prices are reasonable in an effort to both encourage the enjoyable union of wine and food, and to enable customers to make multiple visits a week, all the while promoting a healthier sense of alcohol. The wines are more unique, more sought after than at your average bar and represent the diverse spectrum of Italy's terroir. The food, though not hyper gourmet, is made from the finest Italian products and is barely manipulated in order to bring forth the freshest of flavor. Enjoy... |
