Curio Wine Bistro is now open at 205 William Street, bringing full-service dining to the Curio experience. The European-inspired menu – with an American flair – was created by Chef Michelle for the way you want to enjoy an evening out. Stop in for wine and a few small plates, share several dishes around the table, or settle in for a complete dinner. Dishes are fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared to complement the wines you will discover at Curio.
Some of the best evenings begin with good wine and something delicious to share.
Start with the Warm Bread Basket, featuring focaccia and house-made naan with whipped butter and garlic confit. For a larger group, the Conservas “Tinned Fish” Board offers sardines, smoked trout dip, pickled onions, peppers, vegetables, baguette, and crackers.
You can also build your own table of small plates with Baked Oysters in champagne butter, Fried Artichokes with prosciutto and lemon aioli, Crispy Parmesan Polenta with Mushroom Fricassée, or our guest-favorite Chicken Caesar Croquettes.
Not sure which wine to choose? Ask our team. Helping you find a pairing you will love is part of the Curio experience.
Dinner for Every Kind of Evening
Looking for something fresh and light? Try the Blueberry Cucumber Salad, a warm Garden Farro Grain Bowl, or Lemon Ricotta Cavatelli Pasta with charred zucchini and blistered tomatoes.
For a complete dinner, choose from dishes such as Crispy-Skinned Branzino, Pan-Seared Salmon, Mediterranean Braised Chicken, or Flat Iron Steak Frites. If you are craving a classic, our Bistro Burger is topped with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish aioli, and arugula.
And because a memorable dinner deserves a memorable ending, save room for Pistachio Cheesecake or Chocolate Fondant Cake.
