Their chocolates defy expectations finding imaginative chocolate pairings. Using nuts, fruits and spices, Xocolatti makes you rethink chocolates compatibility with a whole host of flavors. Of their great selection of chocolate, we chose our favorite 3 slates and 2 clusters for the dessert menu. You can try a single one or get the full experience and try all 5.

See the new dessert menu!

Slates

Xocolatti’s slates show you that every bite in a chocolate bar should be exciting and make you enjoy chocolate in deeper ways.

Mango Paprika

Both chocolate and paprika, a spice of ground pepper, have roots in Central and South America. Not surprisingly, they make a excellent balance of sweet and spicy. The paprika provide the punch for smooth white chocolate while the mango adds a tropical lushness.

Rose Hip Pistachios

The rose petals makes this slate an experience with your nose as much as your tongue. The rose petal fragrance compliments the chocolate and Italian pistachios, allowing you to access subtilties you wouldn’t have noticed. The two layers of chocolate, one white and one dark, to bring the pistachios to life.

Orange Hazelnut

You cannot top milk chocolate and roasted hazelnut. The orange oil counters the robustness of the hazelnuts while the adding of rice puffs makes it have a satisfying crunch.

Clusters

The chocolate clusters of Xocolatti show their exceptional workmanship. These dramatic shapes let you see how the chocolate integrates with the other flavors.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut and milk chocolate is a no-brainer and it never grows old. This one is the perfect marriage of crunchy and creamy.

Pomegranate Woodbury

Mixed in with bittersweet dark chocolate, pomegranate and Woodbury jelly inject a tangy and fruity taste to make an unforgettable taste.

Who would turn down going to Spain this Spring or Summer, renting a car and touring the vineyards of Rioja and Ribera del Duero? Spain has several special regions that produce incredible fine wines. Nowhere else will you find the ruby-colored tempranillo, or the “noble grape,” so revered.  It is a real shame most of us can’t go, but at least, we can get a taste and let our imaginations go wild.

In that spirit, we have a Spanish Wine Tasting on Sunday May 27th 3pm-4pm to reinvigorate your love of Spanish Wines or introduce to you to the most under-appreciated Old World wine. You will get to try a Spanish Rose, A Rioja Reserva, Xocolina as well as a few others.

We are already selling tickets for the tasting.

Our brunch menu is now a breeze. You still have a wide variety of choices, but you don’t have to think too hard when deciding what to get for brunch. Besides, the food is supposed to wake you up, not figuring out the menu.

The prix fixe brunch menu makes your weekend brunch a comfortable routine, where you can find something new at the same reasonable price each week. Like you, we are strong believers that a good deal and a good meal is what weekend brunch is all about.

Partnered with a leisurely stroll in the Village, our brunch is a great way to put a spring in your step as you begin a day of relaxation and fun.

One Free Shot

of St. Patrick’s Emerald Essence

 - Green Chocolate Cocktail -

Available Only Upon Verbal Request

@ AYZA Midtown & West Village

In Ireland, chocolate is green (don’t quote me on that). As a result, AYZA is offering one free shot of our special chocolate cocktail called St. Patrick’s Emerald Essence on St. Patrick’s Day March 17th, this Saturday.

On Saturday, it is time to wear that green sweater you always neglect. It is a time to absorb up enough luck to hold you over to the next St. Patrick’s Day. It is also your chance to celebrate Irish culture both in Ireland and the U.S.

This is your one-day opportunity to taste St. Patrick’s Emerald Essence. This cocktail is nearly as rare as a four-leaf clover.

Complimentary Fondue Offer

(see details below)

In celebration of Chocolate Week, AYZA is offering complimentary chocolate fondue for qualifying AYZA customers. The promotion runs from Feb. 15th to Feb. 19th. It is not available on Feb. 13th & Feb. 14th.

Small parties (1 or 2 customers) share an individual order of chocolate fondue. For larger groups, we will adjust for how many customers are dining together.

So all you chocolate fondue-lovers, don’t miss your chance to celebrate Chocolate Week at AYZA! (and remember the fondue is flowing only from Feb. 15th to 19th)
