Master Critic Review
Stafili Wine Cafe
7.6
A Greek-leaning wine cafe that’s more about bottles, small bites, and a linger-friendly nightcap rhythm than a full dinner production. Come for a glass (or a flight), pick a couple shareables, and treat it like a Tribeca living room with a Greek cellar.

Greek wine by the glass, Cheese board, Small-plates spreads

What makes it special: A Greek wine-first hangout with a small-bites backbone.
Who should go: Wine drinkers who want a low-pressure night out
When to visit: Happy hour for the best value window
What to order: Greek wines, one board, one or two small plates
Insider tip: Aim for an early seat—small rooms feel fuller fast.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability in TriBeCa, especially after 6pm. Rideshare or walking is easiest.
Dress code: Smart casual—jeans are fine, but lean polished if coming for a night date or girls’ night.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy to converse early, louder once the room fills.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak evening hours without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several mezze, spreads, and boards work well for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly vegetable-based small plates and dips; best to scan the menu first.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free small plates available, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—especially for drinks. The wine focus, small plates, and cozy energy make it low-pressure and conversational.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes earlier in the evening or on weeknights. Peak weekend hours are tighter, but bar seating helps.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—it’s best suited for adults. There’s no kid-focused menu or setup, and the vibe skews evening social.
Best For
Better for: Greek wine discovery, relaxed date nights, and casual meet-ups that don’t require a full dinner commitment.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full, traditional Greek dinner or a quiet, family-oriented meal.
