Spanish soul

Bartolo (West Village)

RESTAURANTS • First Word

The Skinny: At the end of July, Bartolo, the long-anticipated follow-up to Lower East Side hit Basque canteen Ernesto’s, finally landed. Chef Ryan Bartlow’s compact West Village restaurant is an homage to the soulful, old-world tabernas of Madrid, serving simply plated Spanish classics and a sherry-forward wine list in an impeccably chic space.
