The only thing in the dinner for 4 (1 pork, 1 chicken souvlaki, potatoes, rice, salad, tzatziki) that has gluten is the garlic bread, which does NOT touch the same grill as everything else. Excellent, home cooked Greek food. Will always return!

On a Saturday evening I thought it would have been busier. We were promptly seated at nice table for two, beside the front window. <br/ <br/ We ordered our drinks with one server, and they were quickly brought by another server. They obviously use the team serving approach, which we have observed at other Greek restaurants. We ordered our meals, and while we waited, a couple of flaming cheese dishes were lit at other tables, with a resounding “OPA!”.<br/ <br/ SWMBO picked the Chicken Souvlaki and mine dish was the Moussaka (which the waiter said was one of his favourites). While the main courses were being prepared, they brought our Garlic Bread and our Greek Salads. The bread and salads were fresh. The salad was just the right size as a starter. <br/ <br/ SWMBO’ chicken had nice grill marks, and was tender and juicy, with just a little bit of seasoning. She said that her roasted potatoes were better than others she has had. <br/ <br/ My moussaka was one of the better ones that I have had. The béchamel was creamy, but not runny, and it had some flavour. The ground beef and eggplant layers were also quite tasty. The whole thing was good. <br/ <br/ I like the team approach. Service was very good.

I have to say that Ithaca truly matches up well with any of these that I grew up with. They have the friendly service, the extreme generosity of portions (you should never leave a real Greek restarant without leftovers), and such a great authentic taste that is often lost to me here in Ontario. Hats off to to the owner who shares my name. He's gotten it right. Best Greek place I have been to in the twelve years I have been in Ontario. I will go back, and recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Greek food.

The rice was not sour, so that was great.Pork was kind of pinkish in some parts, and the salad had some old leaves as seen by the stains.Only the manager was working the ENTIRE floor on this Monday lunch hour. Manageable, but it was hard work. He was running everywhere. There was 1 big party and like 5 small parties. Because he was so busy, he didn't have the time to check in with us or else we would've spoken up about the salad and pork. Regardless, we just left those parts in the plate.The decor was amazing. It truly felt like we were in Greece. This is my mom's second time having Greek food. She loved it!

The chicken dish was exceptionally juicy and cooked to perfection. However, the fish and chips were a bit dry and appeared to be overcooked. The portion sizes were generous.

Of course you could come as a couple, but it's unique plus was how well they could manage a table of 15. That's harder to come by than a table for 2.So with that lens, our large family got a variety of different dishes that all arrived at the same time which I'm very impressed by. Each were well portioned, cooked properly, and delicious ?The only reduction in my star rating is because they seemed a little more polite and friendly to Greek individuals at the table, and ignored my requests (and I'm visibly mixed asian so I felt like they wrote me off). There were no comments to make me feel this way, it was just a lack of attention when I lifted my hand to get their attention, or when I asked for a refill of water, or when I needed extra napkins since my little cousin spilled water all over my side of the table..

Our server, Vasilis, was excellent and knew exactly what we needed. He was friendly and funny. The atmosphere and hospitality at this place reminded me of dining in Europe - no pretentiousness, just delicious food and honest service. The other server was also great and they all worked very hard. My boyfriend and I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Greek/Mediterranean cuisine. Thank you!

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. They went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable. The service was fast, and they had a smile on their faces the whole time. It really added to the overall positive atmosphere of the place. Can't wait to visit again! ??️?

He seated us and brought over 2 glasses of water. We ordered 2 chicken souvlaki’s $23.95. And it came with a salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the veggies and potatoes were also perfect. I love the Greek decor and the Greek music playing. Food and service was great.

Although the place appears a bit tired on the outside, do not let it fool you. Inside it is quaint and reminds you of the Greek islands. The service is attentive with a friendly greeter and regular check ins for refills of our water. I had the lamb souvlaki and it was cooked medium and was tender and tasty. Perfect. The potatoes were delicious as was the salad. Steamed vegetables were perfectly steamed and were of great quality. I appreciated that the meal was not drenched in oil. It was seasoned well and tender. The entrees were a bit pricey compared to what one may have been used to in past years for Greek food but when you taste the food and compare it to similar meals at other places, it is actually comparable and better food. I would highly recommend this place. Wine selection by the glass was limited for both white and red but they were reasonably good picks.

Portion sizes are good. After placing my online order, I put a note for pickup time and called as the online site stated that it would be ready in the next hour. Everyone I dealt with was very customer service oriented. Takeout was fast and efficient and was packaged and ready when I came for pickup. Will definitely order again.

We ordered pork and lamb souvlakis. They were awful, being virtually inedible.. I left half the lamb as it was so tough and rubbery that I could hardly cut it. I suspect it was a very old 'lamb' indeed. The pork was not much better. Oh well, the next time want Greek food we will have to go elsewhere. What a shame, as the ambience is good, although quite dated, and the octopus can sometimes be OK .

The bad first...rice and potatoes were pretty bland and not at all enjoyable, the pitas were tough as tree bark and tasted about as good. The random pieces of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot were flavourless. The good...the chicken tasted okay (just), the lamb chops were cooked nicely and were probably the best part of the meals. There was a large amount of food, too bad most of it ended up in the garbage.
