This is a lovely wine bar in the West Village. We stopped in on an early Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some wine and an amazing cheese plate. The service was prompt and kind. They have a large selection of Greek wine and plenty of food too. We sat facing the windows and enjoyed the nice autumn breeze. You can pay your bill through the QR code on the table - just be aware that the default tip option is 30%...so you can adjust it if you'd like read more

Found this place by accident. They specialize in Greek wines. They have happy hour every day from 4 - 7 including weekends where they feature $9 glasses of wine. Choice of white, red, rose (I think), and orange (yes, orange) wine. The white was really good and I liked the red too. We got a cheese board which turned out to be a lot of food. Worth checking out. read more

Stopped in for a glass of wine and a snack after a movie with a few friends. We were drawn in by the wonderfully cozy ambiance, and very glad we were. The servers were very friendly, the wine was perfect, and the olives and sheep's cheese were delicious. Would go back! read more

We had a great pop in at happy hour! Vibe was great- food was good! Wine was crisp on the patio and service was attentive!

Been wanting to check this place out for a while. Beautiful day in the city today, windows open, figured we'd walk over and have some wine and a charcuterie board. While talking to the hostess to get a table, my fiancé went to use the bathroom. This is when an extremely rude bar back or something dropped everything he was doing, chased her and yelled at her, "you must be seated to use the restroom!" When she pointed at me with the hostess to get a table, he said "that's not seated." He was extremely rude and unprofessional about the whole situation, it was upsetting as we were literally about to sit. We left and found another place. Consider other places where the restaurant values its guests instead of chasing them away. read more

The wine is great, ambiance is so pleasant, however this is the "bruschetta." We got two pieces of toast, with a thin slice of cheese, and one cherry tomato cut between the two pieces. Also the wine pour was up to a designated line printed onto the glass which i thought was cheap. It was also my partner and I's anniversary, and they tried to charge us full price despite it being happy hour. No special treatment whatsoever. read more

This place is fantastic. The servers were friendly and gave great recommendations. My friend and I got the wine flights which were delicious. The overall atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. Highly recommend for a girls night or date night! read more

Great spot to try unique Greek wines! Lots of options for by the glass selection. Also recommend the dips, we loved the spicy feta. Cute vibes, fast efficient service. read more

I stumbled on this gem while waiting for a friend. Ambience is very charming and they have $12 happy hour (3pm-7pm) Drink: French 75, heavy on the champagne *cheers to that I'll definitely be back! read more

I was obsessed with this place! We decided to go to Stafili on a whim because we had just been traveling and needed something before we actually went to dinner. So I looked up happy hour and this place popped up! I don't think there is any happy hour, but they have a very long selection of wines and a smaller list of appetizers which was enough for me! My mom loved orange wine so of course we had to try the orange wine tasting. It was amazing! Absolutely loved the wines. The meet and cheese plate was also fantastic. Sometimes you get one or two bad tasting cheeses or the meat is just fine, but genuinely, it was all amazing. 10/10! The service was super quick and our waitress answered all our questions about the wine. Which was super helpful considering we wanted to learn a little bit about what we were tasting! As for the vibes--inside is super cute and very quaint. We sat outside though because the weather wasn't bad! They have little tables sectioned around the whole exterior and they look out into the street (very French style if you know what I mean). We had little candles. It was definitely really nice! read more

The place is always busy, make sure you made reservation. Even with reservation you cannot hang out/stay as long as you want, there is a limit how long you can stay. We found out when we were handed out the bill while we still want to eat/drink. It was five of us and were given one small table, with the amount of food that we ordered/ wanted to order, the table was too small, making us so uncomfortable while trying to enjoy the food. read more

Truly horrible service. I normally love to support local wine bars. Sad because the wine bar itself is cute and bus boys are very attentive to fill water. I went in at 3 o'clock on a Tuesday and there were maybe five other patrons already in the establishment. I got asked three times in two minutes for what I wanted. I said I was looking for an orange wine, the server did not give any suggestions but rather wanted me to just order. I then find out there is a 10 dollar wine happy hour and was never even informed. The server told me I should have asked. I would not go back to this location again. read more

We recently got into wine and this was our first time visiting a wine bar and had a blast! We had an early evening weekend reservation and were seated right away on arrival. Service was great - the lady who was helping us was very informative and quick. Everything we had was quite good too. We enjoyed a wine flight and a charcuterie board. All of which were really great. The best part above all was the atmosphere. Super cute and cozy place with an all around good energy. From the other reviews it looks like it can get busier but the day we went, it was more on the quieter side. Great time and definitely recommended! read more

Love this neighborhood wine bar! Extensive menu, if you're lucky to get an indoor window seat - take it! Outdoor seating is fab, too. Service was the right amount of attention and helpful when deciding on a wine. Ordered the beef tartare, buttery, light with a creamy mustard sauce. Yum! read more

Amazing Greek wine bar with a large variety of assyrtikos! Great for a quick bite or a night out with friends. Love that they have outdoor seating as well, perfect for a summers day/ a nice happy hour. Ordered the Greek salad, the olives and the tzatziki-- all phenomenal. Honestly order olives everywhere but these were exceptionally great. Will be back to try some other cool bottles for sure! read more

Look, I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I think I've found my happy place. The outdoor seating here is literally the best around When it's nice out (which means I'm here twice a week like clockwork), there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Inside is equally fire though. The whole ceiling is covered in corks and it's giving major "I peaked in my wine knowledge" energy in the best way possible. But here's the real tea: $7 glasses of legitimately GREAT wine during happy hour. I genuinely think this is the best happy hour in the city. Like, I've done the math (I'm fun at parties, I swear), and the value-to-quality ratio is unmatched. The wine selection goes hard. Also can we talk about the staff? Every single person working here is amazing. They're cool, they know their stuff, and they don't make you feel dumb when you can't pronounce assyrtiko. This place just hits different. It's my bi-weekly pilgrimage when the weather cooperates. Worth every visit. read more

We went in lured by thes "Happy Hour" -- $8 Spritz! $12 cocktails. What a time to be alive. We ordered two Aperol Spritzes. The bill arrives: $34 - $17 each. Apparently, our drinks attended a private Ivy League university before reaching the table. When we asked about it, the waitress informed us that only the "Vermouth Spritz" is $7. Plot twist: there is no Spritz section on the menu. No Spritz of any kind listed. So unless you arrive with psychic powers or a Sommelier certification, you're just supposed to guess correctly. Also, in what universe is an Aperol Spritz -- arguably the most basic, three-ingredient -- priced higher than every cocktail on the menu? Is the bleeding Aperol hand-massaged? When we politely pointed out that we were charged more than any other cocktail listed, the response was a heartfelt, customer-centric: "Yeah I know, but it is what it is." Also, not sure why other reviews warn about needing reservations. The place was so empty we briefly considered checking if we had accidentally walked in before opening hours. It was us, another couple at the bar, and the faint echo of overpriced alcohol. If you enjoy surprise pricing, interpretive menus, and existential shrugs with your drinks -- this is your spot. For everyone else: run. read more

Obsessed with this wine bar! Cutest vibe and roomier than most wine bars in the WV area. Staff is super kind and easy going. Great selection of Mediterranean wines, introduced me to wine types that I have never tried before. Grab yourself a seat by the windows while the weather is still nice out and have a great time. I'll keep coming here! read more

I really like coming to Stafili. I usually have really good service. This last time, they seated me before happy hour ended, I asked if they can send a server over. 15 minutes later, someone comes by and I can't order a HH drink anymore. I didn't feel like fighting it, but it's very evident there's a bottleneck between seating someone and a server coming over because this isn't the first time it happened. Albeit lateness, I did get recommended a good red wine and I ordered charcuterie and cheese board. It's a nice place with a romantic ambiance if you get there before the house is packed. read more

The owner, Chris, is awesome-- he stepped in and helped resolve an unfortunate issue with empathy and grace.

Awwww. If you can't make it to actual Greece, this cozy little nook of a Greek wine bar will give you some of the same warm, fuzzy vibe (esp. since at least one of the servers is Greek). They sadly do not have retsina anymore, but the aged orange wine is almost as unique. Super friendly service too. Will be back for more. read more

Really nice wine bar in west village, with a focus on Greek wines in particular. For me, the draw was the space itself. I'm not a discerning wine drinker, but I really liked the charming cafe feel, and the more laid back vibe overall. Service was very prompt, though some were a bit snooty if I'm being honest. Still, I could certainly see myself coming back here for a low key small gathering over drinks. read more

Gets quite loud sometimes but romantic / dim lit ambiance with friendly service. The food options are limited but good - cheese and meat options are good and taste complementary to wine. It's a great neighborhood wine bar with good, mainly Mediterranean wine options. Nice for a date or friendly catch up. read more

A charming, cozy but modern wine bar with a great selection of wines! They also have small bites (cheese / charcuterie board), and wine flights - really would like to try one of the flights next time I come. They have happy hour from 3-6pm I believe! read more

The cutest spot nestled in WV for date night! The wine selection is extensive, and the waiter was very attentive and friendly. Great service! For food, my boyfriend and I got the charcuterie board (*recommend!*) but I don't recommend the panini unfortunately (very dry, 80% bread and not a lot of items/toppings inside). However, I said it was my boyfriend's birthday at midnight, and they gave us a crepe on the house! It was unexpected and very kind. I'd definitely want to come back here and I will be recommending others to check out this wine cafe, too! Thanks! read more

Fabulous wine list. I don't live in the city and appreciate the intense Greek wine list. You can't get it anywhere else! Phenomenal food. 10/10 read more

Stafili is a super cute and casual spot! Came for a drink after a dinner and it was pretty good! Honestly not the most memorable, but the service was nice and they have a good selection. The interior was nice and felt cozy. Our group did feel a little rushed- not rlly sure why since it wasn't near closing, but they might've wrapped up early that night. They also have a minimum for the group to sit down, so that's something to keep in mind if someone is the group didn't want to order. I've heard their happy hour prices are really good, so might need to go back to try that. read more

Glad I stumbled on this place. It is a small spot so sometimes not the easiest to get in. The seats against the window are tight but enjoyed our time. The greek wines were lovely and they even had one from cyprus. I also enjoyed the aestethic with corks lined on the ceiling. They also have small bites which I will try next time. read more

Adorable cozy spot ! Stopped in by chance and had a great time! Our server was so knowledgeable about all the Greek wines, also the food was amazing! We got a Greek salad with prosciutto and a tzatziki and a wine flight ! We will make this a regular spot read more

Hole in the wall Greek wine bar that looked better than it tasted. Charcuterie board had barely anything on it - extremely cheap portion size considering it was 25$ but tasted fine. Literally only put 2 baby pickles and 1 walnut! Like wtf... Atmosphere was fine but the waiter was very cold and didn't have the patience to answer questions. Wouldn't go back unless to try exquisite Greek wine. read more

This place was just ok. The inside feels cramped when it gets busy. We came here for a little celebration on a week night and ordered a bottle of champagne, the Greek panini and the arugula salad. Not my favorite wine bar but the staff are very nice and the place seems pretty popular. read more

Really enjoyed this place! It's cute and cozy and the servers are very nice. Met a friend here and we had a couple glasses of wine and the stafili charcuteries and cheese plate.

The server and the wine were fine. The male host was condescending and arrogant, and the entire reason I'm giving only two stars. Shame, because I did have a very positive first experience here when I came one year ago, and was looking forward to more of the same. Details: I didn't have a reservation so was seated at the bar to wait for a single seat to open up bc supposedly they were all reserved (many were available throughout the entire 90 minutes I waited- it was Mon night and the place was never more than half full) and upon putting myself on the wait list got a text saying it would be 15 minutes. An hour and a half later, after several inquiries with the snobby host boy, I gave up and went to Pastis...which even though EVERY table was full and there was a line out the door, managed to easily and courteously seat me at a lovely table within 15 minutes. Seems Greece has surpassed France, in the look-down-your-nose-at-your-patrons category. read more

A very cute Greek wine bar in the West Village. I tried the orange wine, which was OK. I wish I went with the Syrah Merlot Bland. Next time. It was full body and very good. The olives were excellent as was the hummus with the bread which was warm. Very enjoyable place to stop in for a drink. read more

I wanted so much to love it here as I've had it bookmarked since I moved to NYC. I walked out there from Chelsea in 90 degree temperatures and was met with the unpleasant surprise that there was no A/C. Although, I will say that it was fitting given the indoor/outdoor European vibe of the place. It is cozy and cute and has a great vibe here. It's not very large but there was a mix of people - young couples, old couples, large groups of girls, etc. I had the turkey crepe and a glass of the mavro\maratheftiko and have to say both were just okay. Maybe it was just poor ordering on my part. I would definitely come back again because the vibe is great, I would just order something else and not come when it's super hot out. read more

I was recommended to stop into Stafili from a coworker and really loved this spot. Coming from someone who grew up on a vineyard and is in the business, this place is a great change of pace for your typical wine bar. I love that they are not pressured into taking on big name labels and stay true to greek wines. While these greek styles may not be for everyone, it is always good to go out and try new things. The wait staff knew exactly what I wanted after describing a few tasting notes and cheeses were great as well. Wine is a bit pricey ($18) for people not from the area but that is pretty standard for West Village/ NYC. Staff was very welcoming and great place to get warm from the negative degree weather. read more

My friends and I were just walking down the street on a weekend afternoon when we saw the happy hour sign here and had to check it out! We were seated inside promptly and the staff was super welcoming! Their interior is full of wine bottles and an open kitchen counter where you can see your appetizers being made. My friends both got an aperol spritz while I decided to go for a rose- both options were great! The aperol spritzs were super refreshing so I'd recommend that on a warm day. We also got a charcuterie board and the cheese selection was great! Personally I'm a big fan of hard cheeses and the two options they provided were both really savory and smooth. They also refilled our bread for free! Overall: lowkey and unassuming corner spot but a great pick me up and happy hour deal! Would come again! read more

Great wine, amazing ambiance, and open late (till midnight as of May 3rd). Stafili is the perfect place to take a first (or fourth) date out to, to sit and get some work done, or to bring friends and enjoy many glasses of wine & cheese/crepes/paninis with friends. Lots of bar seating along the windows which is perfect for people watching on the weekends and great, great music. As I'm writing this -- Sidney Bechet is playing in the background. Just perfect! Like another reviewer said, it feels very special, *very* charming, and Chris is so welcoming and helpful. My partner has been here three times this week alone, and I definitely plan on returning whenever I'm in the city. read more
