The service was excellent and the food so good we went back the following night. Great atmosphere although a little loud at times. Not the fault of the manager but the customers! If I’m ever back in Buxton I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Ithaca.

The staff were all extremely friendly and the menu was so good that it was difficult to decide what to order. The food was delicious and tasted authentic. I would highly recommend dining here.

We were so happy to have discovered it because it's really good. The interior has nice tables and seating areas, and the food is of high quality and well presented with attention to detail. We started with delicious garlic mushrooms, followed by mixed kebabs with the most delicious crispy roast potatoes. The staff is friendly and the prices for food and wine are reasonable given the current economy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant, even for those with discerning tastes. We will definitely be back. - Edward and Christina McAlpine.

We started with bruschetta and stuffed vine leaves, both very tasty. For our main courses, we had sea bass and a mixed kebab with chips and salad, which were both very good. There weren't many dessert options available as we were given the wrong menu, but the service and food were still excellent despite this minor issue. Overall, a great dining experience.

The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the Greek food was delicious—each dish was just the right amount and full of flavor. We were grateful we made a reservation, as many people were turned away, and the restaurant quickly became packed. I highly recommend it, and when we're back in Buxton, we'll definitely return for dinner. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I've only ordered main courses from the specials board; the braised ox cheek was excellent, but the hake I had on my latest visit was even better. The staff are friendly, and it feels like a genuine restaurant. Price per person: £40–50. Food: 4/5, Service: 4/5, Atmosphere: 4/5.

I would recommend this place to everyone, and I will go back next time in buxton.
