For mains we got Gnocchi Caprese, Milanese Pork, meatballs Cavatelli Angus Beef, and linguine with shrimp . All were good and the kitchen cooperated on customizing our meal. (Swapping cheeses and gluten free pasta for one diner). Service was good. For dessert we got Tiramisu, Affogato, and butterscotch Budino which were all good. Normally the Budino is chocolate but they were out and subbed in butterscotch which I love. That butterscotch should be on the menu all the time. Espresso was good as were cappuccinos. Plenty of parking available. Hadn't been here in a long time but they always satisfy.

There was only one waitress and a kid who was her assistant. It felt stressful just watching them try to take care of the entire dining room. We waited a while for everything- water, bread, food. At first the mains came out before the appetizers and we had to send them back-not sure if those sat under the heat lamps. I wish they had more staff and presented a calmer, more enjoyable vibe. But I will be back bc the main event is always the food and it was good.

We ordered a…read moreplain slice of pizza, mild buffalo wings, a chicken Caesar wrap with fries, and a gyro platter. Every single thing was a 10/10--fresh, well-seasoned, hot, delicious, and reasonably priced. The best part? All of that, plus two sodas, came to just $40. I love finding places with good food at great prices! The only small disappointment was that we asked for all flats on the wings and were willing to pay the upcharge, but they wouldn't accommodate the request for some reason. We decided to dine in, and the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. They offer both dine-in and takeout and accept cash and all major credit cards. My biggest regret? Not trying one of the desserts! They had a great selection on display, and they looked amazing. I've been in this area many times and somehow never noticed this place. I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The menu is huge, so there's truly something for everyone. You really can't go wrong here. Absolutely delicious--I will definitely be back!

The menu pulls from a wide range of recipes from the Dodecanese and other Greek islands, and it shows in the flavors. We started with olives and beets served with warm pita bread. For mains, we had the Gyro (beef & lamb) with hand‑cut fries, tzatziki, salad, and more pita. Everything was fresh and well‑seasoned. The spanakopitakia -- handmade phyllo with spinach, leeks, and feta -- was another standout. We finished with their Baklava Cheesecake, which layers freshly baked phyllo, nuts, cinnamon, and honey syrup over homemade cheesecake. Rich, sweet, and worth saving room for. Great service, excellent food, and a menu that feels genuinely rooted in the islands. We'll be back.

Grecian Cave caught my eye because I have a soft spot for hole in the wall diners. They have a…read morecharm that sometimes acts almost like a time machine to another era of culinary experiences. And at first, that's what Grecian Cave offered. It has bar seating at a counter that runs along the length of the restaurant's seating area with some tables on the side. The menu on the wall has plastic letters fitted into slots. No LCD here! From a pure "setting" perspective this place has old charm to spare. That's about where the charm ends. Wanting to get something healthy, I ordered the Greek Salad with grilled chicken. A lady took my order and at first all seemed fine. She was masked and seemed to be cleaning/organizing the area behind the counter. Then the (guy who I presume to be) the cook came out from the back. Dude had a mask on, which was comfortably wrapped around his chin. She told him my order and he set out to rinse his hands...for about 10 seconds. Then he moved on to begin making my salad: with his bare hands. He pulled out a quarter head of lettuce and began rough chopping it, seemingly ensuring to make sure his hands got on as much of the lettuce as possible. I stopped him and asked him if he could put on gloves. He muttered something to the lady and gave me a look of disgust. He searched for gloves (which in itself was disturbing) and reluctantly put a pair on. I asked him to dispose of the lettuce he had chopped and I sat closer to watch him work. It was at that moment I heard him muttering something about me in Spanish to the lady (I may not be fluent, but the word "Chino" and his grumbling attitude didn't require Masters in Romance Languages to understand). Eventually the salad was put together, but honestly I was so grossed out at that point I didn't even eat it. I paid, took it to go and tossed it. I would strongly recommend against visiting this place. There are plenty of other eateries in the area.

This is a cute little house on the northern cusp of Madison's strip of businesses. It is a small…read morerestaurant with seating for ~40 or so diners. Think about beverages before you go. I was traveling with a group for business and none of us are from the area. We were surprised that the restaurant was BYOB! So, be sure to bring your own bottle of wine for the adults who imbibe and/or sippie cups of juice for the little ones. The beverage options appeared to be tea, coffee, soda, sparkling or still water. The service was friendly and attentive. We tried a variety of appetizers including the large combo platter of dips that were a crowd pleaser. They were served alongside dense, warm, fresh rounds of yeasted bread. They used sliced carrots as little barricades between the dips on the large combo platter which worked very well (We would have loved an option to have a platter of fresh veggies like cucumbers and carrots to scoop up the dips. The bread was much more dense than pitas and flatbreads we'd had before but, it was delicious nonetheless) We ordered an array of kebabs for dinner. Everything was delicious and juicy. The crispy shaved lamb was the best thing on the table but the beef and chicken dishes were also delicious. The rice is very moist and cooked with caramelized onions. There were some delicious roasted vegetables and tzatziki served with the meats that further enhanced everyone's enjoyment. We wrapped it up with baklava that was served warm and perfectly cut into Shareable squares. This is a great Mediterranean spot and we all would return again if we find ourselves in the area.
