Great place for a celebratory luncheon
There are much better Greek restaurants I'd go back to. Food was ok.
First time going to Ithaki we didn’t have reservations. There was a little hiccup at first due to the amount of people at the bar. However, decided to still give it a try. The owner, Effy/Hostess (I think that’s how you spell her name!) and server Angela could not have done more to go out of their way to make things right! The food was amazing, and their attention to the customers and our needs were above and beyond. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing experience!
This is becoming my favorite neighborhood place. On Tuesday nights you can get dollar oysters and a few apps and be totally satisfied. They have a great selection of gluten free items (I had the falafel, sweet & spicy cauliflower, and baba ghanoush) and the GF bread is surprisingly delicious too. My only complaint is the amount of items with arugula. I just find that lettuce so frustrating to eat but that's just me. Donna the bartender is the hardest working woman in the business!
Ithaki is always a perfect place for our family get togethers. From the beginning, the hostess was very friendly, the server (I can't remember her name but young, friendly, professional) was simply perfect! She is very accommodating in a natural way, you can tell she enjoys her work and people! The buses were also very good. We had tuna and calamari for apps, veal, greek salad, and salmon for meals. Everything was cooked to perfection. Love this place. Glad to see the Holiday Inn has quieted down a bit and Ithaki what signs for their parking and customers. Great job everyone!
I always order the rare tuna with Moroccan lentils: always perfect. the location is a bit odd, but the interior is upscale and has a pleasant ambiance. The food of my fellow diners is also always excellent...highly recommend.
A huge thank you to Petros for the incredible hospitality and outstanding food at our Rotary Club of Peabody dinner! Everything was absolutely perfect—from the tender steak skewers and crisp, fresh salad to the delicious desserts. The service was exceptional—our servers were attentive, friendly, and made the evening flow seamlessly. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you again for a memorable night!
Absolutely delicious! Food is fresh and delicious, you can order small plates and share or order entrees. So yummy.
Chicken Souvlaki is not just grill chicken. It is a perfect balance of flavors.
Really fabulous food in a festive setting with attentive and professional staff. 80% of the menu is Gluten Free or has a GF option. Terrific because I need to eat GF. My wife does not and she had the mushroom parpadelle and loved it. We've been several times and have always enjoyed. If you are on Rt. 1 North and looking for a great meal - give Ithaki a try. You'll be glad you did.

My partner and I celebrated the anniversary of our first date at Ithaki on May 28, 2024. In every return visit, we have marveled at the variety of the menu and we have never had the same meal twice. Tonight, we started with a dozen oysters (sadly we missed dollar oyster night on Tuesday), and they were excellent, large, and nicely shucked. Our server, Shkamb318, was gracious and attentive. We shared a special wine, a rosé from Greece that was a steal at $35/bottle: Costa Lazaridi Single Vineyard Rosé 2023 which usually retails for $23.59 and was thus an awesome deal. Ithaki often features high value and quality in their wine specials. Our dinner was 3 small plates: Mushrooms in truffle oil, lamb lollipops, and an amazing cheese saganaki (served flambé with ouzo, and very delicious. When ordering the cheese, eat it first and when it is most hot. For dessert, we shared the Ekmek and the Limoncello cake, both excellent. We try to eat at Ithaki every six weeks or so, and we are never disappointed. We will be back soon to continue the culinary adventure.
You can't go wrong at Ithaki. The service is always friendly and prompt. The food is always creative and delicious. Last night we particularly enjoyed the seafood. The Blackened Salmon was excellent. The Fluke was a delicious surprise. And we also really enjoyed the Short Rib Pappardelle. As for the desserts-- we indulged in the limoncello cake (heavenly) and our all time favorite galactobouriko (which I will dream about for weeks to come). Treat yourself.
We had such a nice Mother's Day breakfast. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I loved the cinnamon they put on their raisin toast. It was different than other restaurants. The place was bright & clean and the service was fantastic. Look forward to our next meal here.
We had 7:45 PM reservations and were surprised to discover that the kitchen closes at 8:30. We were intending to spend an hour and a half or so ordering small plates as we went, but had to order all the food at once. it was frankly a lousy experience. Being rushed at a restaurant is by far the worst part of dining out. Open Table and Ithaki need to get together and correct an issue that exacerbates this, mainly that on the Open Table site it looks like you can make reservations for 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 etc. leading one to think that the kitchen is still active then.
The food at Ithaki is always good and today's server couldn't have been more pleasant, efficient and accommodating. We sat in the patio, which was lovely despite the whizzing cars on Route 1 nearby.
