Pylos Review

The perfect setting for a relaxed dinner or an intimate special occasion, this tastefully refined, light-filled East Village restaurant emphasizes rustic Greek cooking from all over Greece. There are delicious versions of hearty comfort food dishes like pastitsio and moussaka on the menu but the lighter dishes—especially fish—let the flavors shine through. There is an extensive selection of interesting hot and cold mezes—start with the traditional trio of tzatkziki (garlicky yogurt dip), taramosalata (lemony fish roe dip), and melitzanosalta (an eggplant-based dip) and explore from there. Accompany your meal with some vino from the all-Greek wine list; the light white Atlantis wine from the island of Santorini is particularly enjoyable—and affordable.
