Family owned local Greek cuisine. Serving delicious food with homemade recipes, in a small cozy atmosphere. Hard to find amazing Greek wines that will surprise you. Shrimp Santorini, Mediterranean Grill, grilled octopus, are just some of the amazing dishes we server. Voted 2nd must try restaurant in the Marblehead, Salem, Swampscott area. "Neighborhood Gem"

    My friend and I both thought our meals were delicious. She had the eggplant dish and I had salmon. We were able to converse and hear each other easily. The server was attentive. He checked if our meals were to our satisfaction and he kept refilling our water glasses, which was appreciated.  This is my third time dining here and every time has been outstanding.

    Before the show at Marblehead Little Theater, we had dinner at Elia Taverna. We enjoyed great bread, good cocktails, and delicious food.

    From the service to the quality of the food, this place is authentic Greek and a top 4 restaurant in Marblehead. I take my wife here for her birthday every year and we always come away pleased. The inside is cozy and clean. We have never ordered something we didn’t like. Hats off for an overall well ran establishment.
