Description

IGTM showcases the meat-bearing cuisine of the Greek mainland-specifically the eastern region of Thessaly, on the Aegean Sea, and partly reflects Turkish culinary influences. There's a sage-inflected gyro, zucchini balls called kolokithokeftedes, large cheap salads, and a sumptuous pork souvlaki, available in a pita sandwich or on a platter. The informal space is windmill-decorated and comfortable, but perhaps too well lit. For dessert, don't miss the homemade yogurt swimming in wildflower honey and topped with candied walnuts.

    The interior of It's Greek to Me recalls the island of Mykonos: A wood-and-canvas windmill built right into the wall flaps slightly as the front door opens, but never quite rotates. A red tile roof shades the grill area, while the dining room in f... More »
