Anfora is a casual neighborhoody wine bar located on 8th avenue in the West Village, owned by the team behind Dell'Anima and L'Artusi. Opened in the Spring of 2010, it is named for the ancient clay urns utilized for wine transport in ancient Greco Roman times.
Anfora boasts a dynamic and diverse wine list, a nice selection of local and international beers, and an inventive cocktail menu. To go along with your beverages, there are cured meats, cheeses, salads, crostini, and sandwiches.
What cheese should you get with your wine?
Definitely their house made ricotta! Crafted in house with milk from Meadow Brooks Dairy in upstate New York, it is fresh, milky, creamy, and just the right sort of decadence to go with a glass of wine on a balmy summer evening. Served with crusty bread, honey, raisin chutney, and mustard, you can't go wrong here. The ricotta itself has a fantastic grassy lactic tang with a bright citrus-y finish and a roundness of flavor and mouth feel.
A warm and welcoming neighborhoody joint great for happy hour cocktails and/or wines with a group of friends; a glass of wine before dinner next door; a casual rendez-vous with that special someone; you name it.
