Alexis Michalakis: This place is delish! Home cooked Greek food in a fancier atmosphere. Lemon potatoes side dish is perfect, pitakia cheese pies are really tasty and keftedakia is great too.
Douglas Elliman: A cozy spot in the East Village. We find the authenticity of this rustic, home cooking styled menu very comforting. We recommend the octopus! It’s outstanding.
The Taste Sheriff: Best Greek food in NY. Closest to everyday Greek cuisine you can find outside of Greece. Save space for galaktoboureko for desert!
New York Habitat: Good ol' fashioned home cooking here, fresh, homemade Italian with very attentive service. We recommend the gnocchi al pesto or the classic spaghetti and meatballs.
Andrew DiSogra: Greatest food and service in all of the City. If you want Italian, this is the place.
Robert D: Good "traditional" food. Thought I might witness a mob hit but Vito Corleone never showed. Read more.
