  • engagement party, party of 60
    Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of hosting my engagement party at Parcelle Chinatown, and it was truly an incredible experience. The downstairs private space is intimate and perfectly suited for a cocktail-style event of up to 60 guests. From the very beginning, Art was extremely responsive and attentive and honestly, he’s the reason I chose this venue. Finding a great space in NYC is one thing, but finding someone who manages events with this level of care and professionalism is rare. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered and that the evening unfolded exactly as I envisioned. The entire team was exceptional. The bartenders were quick and consistent, and the service overall was seamless. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the hospitality and the food. I’m so grateful to Art and the whole team for such a smooth, beautiful, and unforgettable night. Everything was executed flawlessly!
  • post-elopement dinner, party of 12
    Parcelle hosted our party size of 12 for some post-elopement dinner celebrations in their downstairs dining area. It was a perfect evening!! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect!! 10/10 will come back and would recommend this wine bar for drinks/dinner
  • birthday dinner, party of 10
    Very cute wine bar. Had a group of 10 friends for my birthday but would also be a great spot for date night! I loved the orange wine and all of the little bites were delicious!
  • birthday dinner
    I picked this place for my birthday and i did the correct thing. Right when you walk in, you instantly fell in love with the atmosphere, design, lighting and everything that you’re eyes can see. We had olivas, and ricotta to start and then the pork sandwich with provolone and the chicken with mushrooms. Every single dish, delicious except for the dessert, was just 2 simple cookies from the bodega. Our server and the rest of the staff were very attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back.
