One of the best-kept secrets in the area! Quiet, vibey spot for people who appreciate good drinks, quality bar snacks at a fantastic value ($25 for five meats/cheeses of your choice at grocery prices?!) And comfy seating. Perfect for heart-to-heart catch up sessions, chill birthday celebrations and friend get-togethers for people who value connection over hype. Theres never a wait, and theres a semi-private area thats even quieter for larger gatherings or a more intimate setting. The vibe is like a cozy living room or library you can eat and drink in. You cant go wrong with any of the options on the menu, and the staff are all so kind without hovering.

Felt like we flew to Italy for the night - the owner greeted us and gave us a brief history of the Dipalo family in NYC and their cheese production. Great prices, house wines $9 and 4 pieces of crostini for $6, made with their freshly produced cheeses. They also offered an off menu pizza if you wanted something more substantial but you definitely won’t leave hungry! Can’t wait to come back again and again.

The best charcuterie board you can find in the city! The waiter gave great recommendations for wine and meats and cheese. We had a great wine they selected for us from Calabria and a cheese we would have never picked out that we loved. Will absolutely be back!!

The most underestimated spot in NYC for amazing aperitivo. Best cold cuts, cheeses and Italian wines selection. Not too pricy and totally worth it. Finally a place where you can find amazing quality food and wines and not get overcharged. Super recommended !!!

NYC downtown native here - this place is an absolute gem. Family run Di Palos fine foods family also runs this elegant wine bar where both glasses of wines we had were fabulously paired with chaucaterie board options of prosicutto, soppresata, aged cow and sheep cheeses, airy sliced beef. We didnt think the experience could get even better until our classic prosciutto panini came out- flakey, perfectly crisp and easily shareable for 4 people. The owners are honest and kind. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful date night here in such an underrated place and will be back and spread the word!

Family owned business. Great recommendations and prices were very fair! Make sure you visit this cute place before it gets too popular! (Because it will)

The best burrata of our lives. Family owned and operated. A hidden gem in the heart of little Italy!

Review 12 (2020-01-23 - Rating: 5)
Great staff, fantastic wines and the food is fabulous. The crostini with ricotta and honey was light, slightly sweet and absolutely delicious. The meats and cheeses are fresh cut while you wait. Amazing addition to Little Italy. I highly recommend this little gem.

Speck, prosciutto, and hot soppresata (top to bottom). All sliced perfectly thin into long ribbons

In the quieter corner of Little Italy, NYC, lies a hidden gem that subtly beckons to the wine and cheese aficionado. Its a wine bar that is an offshoot of the famed Di Palo Italian grocery store, and it quietly upholds the heritage and standards set by its parent establishment.At this wine bar, the first thing that captures your attention is the extraordinary assortment of fine Italian cheeses. They have the classics like Parmigiano Reggiano, Burrata, and Mozzarella, but also an exciting range of regional Pecorinos that are worth exploring. Each cheese is sourced with care, boasting of authenticity and a deep, delightful flavor profile that lingers.Their charcuterie board is another standout. It is a great value for money, offering a variety of fine meats that pair perfectly with their cheese selection. Its an inviting platter that encourages you to slow down, sip your wine, and savor each bite.And speaking of bites, the panini sandwiches here deserve a special mention. The Classic and the Traditionale, in particular, are must-tries. The focaccia bread has an exceptional crust that gives way to a generous layer of meats and fillings, evoking memories of famous sandwich shops nestled in the narrow lanes of Florence.The wine list is a well-curated ode to Italys rich wine heritage. From Northern Barbarescos and Central Italian Chiantis to more experimental natural wines from the coastal plains of Mount Etna in Southern Italy, the selection is vast and inviting. Each wine has been carefully chosen, a testament to the owners commitment to offering an authentic Italian wine experience.The Di Palo wine bar is an underappreciated treasure in Little Italy. It offers a warm and intimate setting, a welcome reprieve from the bustling city streets. Here, youre encouraged to take your time, to delve into the rich variety of Italian wines and cheeses, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of good food and drink.If youre seeking a slice of Italy amidst the skyscrapers of NYC, the Di Palo wine bar is a must-visit. Its a place where tradition meets sophistication, creating a dining experience that is as comforting as it is refined. So next time youre in Little Italy, dont just pass by. Step in, grab a glass of wine, and savor the Italian tradition in every bite and sip.

The best place to sip great wine and eat delicious cheese!

Review 16 (2024-09-10 - Rating: 5)
The best of the best. No need to go to Italy. If you are looking for a true authentic Italian eatery. Di Palo’s will over deliver on the quality of cured meats and cheeses that will satisfy your tastebuds! Absolutely amazing!

Hidden gem in NY! If you enjoy amazing Italian food and great wine, stop in here. Swanky open floor plan, good bar area and incredible staff. Once youve filed up on their procuitto & panini definately get some of your italian meat and cheeses from the market next door.

This place is an absolute “must go” spot in NYC. Put it on your list now and go!! (And I almost guarantee you will become a regular, just like we will.)Wonderful ambiance - just the right balance of sophistication with warmth, authenticity, and charm.Unbelievably delicious food and great opportunity to try a wonderful variety of Italian wines. Beautifully created and presented paninis from Sal that were the tip top of deliciousness. Pricing is excellent, great value for the money.Leave an extra generous tip as a “thank you for being here and making our lives better”!

The home of hospitality - this is a family owned and run spot in Little Italy! Very well loved and an amazing selection of wines for anyone who is a local or visitorMy favorites the balsamic Negroni and il Lombardo. For the espresso martini lover, these guys make the best one in town

This place is one of my favorite spots for wine and a quick bite. They have a great selection and the prices are really reasonable too. The bar also has a super chill vibe and I love taking my friends there. I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem!

Five star everything. Wine recommendation on point. Bathrooms super clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. Charcuterie was so amazing. The atmosphere complemented the food to a T. There are really not enough superlatives for this place. (Also super value for $$). Bring a large group or just a date or sit by yourself at the bar it will be an amazing experience.We were visiting friends/family and are from Canada can’t wait to go back.

Review 31 (2024-06-30 - Rating: 5)
The roasted peppers on the panino classico might be one of the secrets of the universe. ✨Glass of wine, sandwich, cherry dessert, and an amaro was $60 inc t/t. Music was a touch loud, but the food was as excellent as youd expect from a latteria!Theyre only open for weekend evenings at the moment, but if theyre open when youre in the neighborhood, definitely come through.

Review 32 (2022-05-24 - Rating: 5)
Great wine bar in the hearth of Little Italy!l. Visited with friends for an event and will definitely go back.

Review 33 (2024-04-28 - Rating: 5)
So so so good! This has an updated remodel with cool chill music to match but the service is super old school with the original owner family going back generations and still work here. The food is incredibly authentic and their recommendations are totally on point. This might be my new favorite spot.

Went next door first and the owners told us about this Wine Bar. Amazing vibes, amazing food. The paninis were SPECTACULAR! Ordered Classic with peppers and my memories took me to my grandma’s kitchen. The cheese and prosciutto were super fresh and from italy. As an Italian family member I can say it was worth every second. Rene was our server and the server for the whole bar and he is so sweet and nice!!! Definitely coming back again

This is a great place to enjoy and discover italian wines, cured meats, and cheese. The paninos are delicious and they come with a tasty arugula salad.

Review 41 (2021-05-25 - Rating: 5)
5th generation cheese-makers. Great food and good wine selection. The mozzarella is daily made. Ask for the “testu” cheese from Umbria. They totally should put a few tables on the sidewalk - easy to miss if you’re just walking by.

Italian-American owner, a place to enjoy an Italian style aperitif: cocktails, wine and beers with excellent cheese platters, and absolutely excellent cold cuts platters. Then sandwiches or various appetizers. Its not a restaurant but its worth the trip.
