"A really great wine cellar. Highly recommended. Beautiful choices of good wines, and excellent advice by the friendly staff. They try to help you and find the right match for your taste and needs, within your price range. In so many places they just try to sell you a more expensive bottle. Not here.."

"This store used to be a neighborhood gem. It's now a total wreck and it's such a loss. I moved to the neighborhood about 6 years ago and I have seen this store decline before me. In the last 2 or 3 months have been especially terrible. It used to be well staffed with friendly and knowledgeable people. I especially enjoyed Kim's recommendations. She and every female employee there were superstars! The delivery guys are also super friendly and you can tell they work hard. The owner though is a total fool. He never followed up with me about a Thanksgiving wine and I've witnessed him confuse people both in person and on the phone. You can tell he is a disorganized and overbearing boss. I've heard him and it makes me angry for the few employees he has left. It's no wonder his store is not staffed. I know customers who no longer shop there. It's very sad but spend your money in other great wine shops!!! This store will close soon- I made a bet with someone about it closing soon!"

"Love this place and the people who work there. Jim and Dave are gentlemen and the rest of the staff are great and knowledgeable too. They’ll go the extra mile for you and help you find a great bottle The photo is of the owner Jim showing us the history of the store from its original opening"

"Scotto’s will frequently have wine vendors come in and host wine tastings, I am so glad that I showed up for the De Grendel Sauvignon Blanc from the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. It paired deliciously with a blackened Mahi Mahi I prepared. The sommeliers at Scotto’s Wine Cellar are engaging, interested in what you are doing and are very knowledgeable. They make it easy for a gourmet to look like a trained chef who knows her wine."

"I was looking for a present for my father. He likes to drink whiskey and I wanted something special from Brooklyn. Here I was doubly find. They had Van Stained Stillhouse plus an own bottling "Rye", which can be bought only in this store in Brooklyn. World class!"
