Ithaka has great food at reasonable prices. I usually order the chicken souvlaki and I get a ton of food that's always cooked well. They have very basic Mediterranean fare, so something for everyone. The only downside is the small restaurant size leading to cramped tables and loud background noise. Not recommended for an intimate conversation!

Upper East Side Greek taverna that caters to its neighborhood clientele with traditional dishes in a relaxed, but upscale setting.

This place won "Most Romantic" in Village Voice's Best of New York, well I dont know about romantic, but it sure was filling! I had the chicken kebab and I loved it, my boyfriend is a very picky eater he hardly ever eats out and he had the baby lamb and was very satisfied. Their service surprised me the most, it is very rarely that a restaurant in New York is as hospitable and attentive as Ithaka. I will definately return. My only gripe is that they are a bit expensive but it is well worth it!

  • Pros: service, food, atmosphere
  • Cons: pricey

They have done it AGAIN!!

The Greek team of Sam & Harry have successfully transported Ithaka from their Village location to the Upper East side. Most importantly, they have not lost their touch -- the authentic Greek dishes combined with the fresh fish and a little slice of the home country make this a great evening.

A little Greek oasis in Manhattan! The authentic dishes, fresh catch-of-the-day seafood selection, warm homemade bread, excellent prices, and relaxed friendly atmosphere temporarily transported us from NYC to a small tarverna on a Greek island.

  • Pros: great prices, authentic Greek dish, fresh, healthy food
