Very cute and quiet lunch spot. The food was fresh and the wine was delicious. Ethan the bartender was very friendly.
This wine bar is my favorite go-to in the summer and fall months. They offer a genuine selection of Greek wines and some finger food to go with them. But what I come here for most is the atmosphere. Cozy and quaint vibes you can get lost in for a while and forget you’re in one of the busiest cities on Earth. Go relax, bring with you a friend. Or a good book.
We went mid-week and it was the best decision ever. My friend and I decided to do a catch up and meet at a cafe/bar. Unfortunately by the time we got there they weren’t doing Iced Coffee (which was what my friend wanted), but we each got a glass of wine. Their selection is all Greek wines, very earthy, but delicious! Definitely check them out. The food was delicious! Definitely try the hummus and the bruschetta, the cherry glaze was insanely good Great place to talk, chill and enjoy a beautiful afternoon/sunset.
I love Stafili! Every time I come here, the experience is amazing. I’m a huge cheese girl, so I always get a cheese board and love to see what they have for me to try each time. This past visit, they had a variety of sheep’s milk cheeses that were all AMAZING. I had to fight myself not to finish the whole thing while my friend spilled the tea on her dating life haha!
What makes this wine bar truly exceptional in the bohemian and charming West Village is its combination of premium Greek wines and unique cuisine. Owned by Christos, a passionate wine connoisseur, the bar consistently delights even the most discerning palates. The staff is friendly, cheerful, and eager to assist, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the ambiance, with the wine cork ceiling being a particularly striking feature. As for the wines, my friend and I enjoyed two glasses—Zakynthino and Cabernet Franc—which were absolutely perfect. The food was equally delightful. We savored a spicy feta cheese spread, a selection of Greek olives, and the Stafili plate, which featured the chef’s selection of cured meats and many cheeses, paired with honeycomb. Another standout was the Stafili salad—a delicious mix of arugula, goat cheese, cranberries, roasted red peppers, walnuts, and a homemade Stafili vinaigrette. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and can’t wait to return to explore more dishes.
Very cozy, welcoming ambience, a few blocks from the Whitney and 14th Street /Mest Packing district. Excellent finger food with decent portions, and very good prices. The spicy feta cheese spread is not be missed, and the charcuterie boards are all you need to have a fabulous time. Excellent wine selection - be mindful that they're mostly from Greece, but be adventurous! There's something for everyone.
My wife and I are frequent visitors here, and every time we walk in, we’re welcomed like family. Karol’s service is top-notch—from the warm greeting to remembering our favorite table and drink orders, along with engaging, friendly conversation. To top it all off, the wine and spritz is excellent!
