Pil Pil

About

Pil Pil is a basque dish using Salted Cod, Garlic, Peppers, Olive Oil and a cavessa. We are an authentic Spanish Tapas bar. Typical of anything anywhere in Spain. Our Chef worked and trained in Spain for many years before coming to New York



"Pil Pil, named for a specific kind of sauce originating in the Basque region of Spain, fills an important role on the Upper East Side. It is a neighborhood watering hole, upscale and with enough ambience for a perfect date or friendly hangout, but still casual enough to lure locals back multiple times each week. I spoke with Nikola Romic, the owner and general manager, who explained that this is exactly the environment he wanted to create when he opened Pil Pil in 2010: a “homey atmosphere” where locals could have good food and wine."

The only reason I gave this restaurant 4* is because the restaurant was pretty empty and the host was insisting on sitting parties on top of each other, even though there were completely empty tables around. Other than that the food was great I recommend getting the bacon wrapped dates and the Lamb toast! Also, our waitress was amazing and so helpful!
Original Spanish cuisine with a slight American touch, to give credit to the sensitive locals’ taste buds. Perfect spot for both a weekday portion control and a weekend treat-yo-self kind a afternoon. Enjoy your spiced-up Sangria and croquetas con spinach and truffle : plus believe it or not- it all comes at highest quality from Spain directly! And it’s all with decent prices and much bigger than expected - tapas portions Such a fancy vibe, with an intimate atmosphere where even the chef comes to greet you himself Love these kind of places
The food was really good, just a bit pricey but somehow worth the cost. Staff was a bit pushy about getting drinks and sangria. But overall the service was good. Great atmosphere as well as cozy setup. Very cool digital menu. I recommend checking it out.
Great spot for Tapas! Love the vibe here. The sangrias were pretty good. We enjoyed everything. Great selection and save room for their dessert as well! Service was nice too!
Beautifully decorated restaurant serving fresh and relatively flavorful Spanish food. I found the spicy ketchup drizzled on the fries and potato bravas to be too sour and sweet. The portion sizes of the entrees were quite small. Service was ok.
Really great place to have a couple drinks with friends and hang out after a walk around Central Park. The tapas were good but not the best we’ve had. We ordered the mini-chorizo bites think pigs-in-a-blanket, the chicken in spicy sauce and some eggplant asparagus empanadas to round it off. The sangria was refreshing and the place had a good vibe. We’ll be back for a drink, maybe not for the tapas though.
We had so much fun in Pil Pil! Sangria was great and they have the tastiest tapas menu! I am coming back here for dates wrapped in bacon, empanadas, octopus!
The place and food were amazing. The chef and staff did a great job, in the professional and social fields. Brunch special tasted great with frozen Rose. Definitely recommend everyone to go and try the food!!
Omg, this has become my fav Spanish tapas restaurant! We ordered: Octopus: soft and tender. Well seasoned and malt in your mouth! 10/10 The spinach croquettes: really good! Cheesy but not too much, soft and scrumptious. 10/10 The grilled eggplant: pretty good can’t complain ! 7/10 The mushroom flatbread: must have! I am usually not a flat bread person. But the mushroom and truffle oil combination is the best in the world. 10/10
As a Spanish person myself I always go to spanish restaurants with a bit of fear... In regards to food, Pil Pil had a good variety of tapas, not just the main classic ones a lot of regional ones that ai was surprised to find. We had the Pulpo and it was pretty good. We mainly went there to enjoy the happy hour drinks, and the sangria was good, just didn't taste like sangria fully. But still, it is worth it for the happy hour prices. We also had the sparkling white sangria for a change and really liked. Overall a good choice for a Spanish experience in NYC.
