The salad and Greek Paella were excellent. I really enjoyed the coziness of sitting in the bar area. Steve, our waiter, was personable and professional. I loved his recommendation for dessert: "The harder it is to pronounce, the better it tastes."
This was our first visit to the new Ithaki since they moved to Peabody several years ago. Early Sunday afternoon. The menu has expanded to include a larger variety of dishes (eg. Fried chicken and fish and chips) in addition to the Greek/Mediterranean items. The food was excellent. Really excellent Large portions as well. Hot bread with dip. We went for Greek "small plates". Only three small plates were a feast, along with a small greek style salad. We took half of the food home. Fresh, healthy food. Compliments to the chef and the cooks. Nice wine list, reasonably priced. A few bargains. The restaurant is very large now, informal. brightly lit. They were a little short staffed, but everything came quickly. The waiter and hostess were personable. I think half the people in the restaurant knew each other. My only problem is the parking lot. It is difficult to get back onto the highway, and the fast moving traffic can be a bit of a challenge. There may be a better way but the exit signs don't work.
Excellent service and ambiance. They food was perfectly cooked. Not my first visit and we will be returning.
Such a great experience, the food was delicious and the staff attentive. Not loud at all with nice background music. Relaxing and comfortable.
It was a beautiful restaurant! Jazz music playing in the background and delicious food. Nice/classy atmosphere. We sat at the bar and service was excellent! It was a bit pricey but for a nice restaurant it was to be expected.
Outstanding Mediterranean fare with attentive service and a modern, comfortable ambience. Plenty of free parking, easy access from 128 and route 1, and a menu that has something for everyone. One of our favorite dinner spots for larger family get-togethers.
We saw a mouse here on 11/23 at about 530pm. The staff kept trying to grab the mouse which never works. We notified the front desk and promptly left. We will never return. A mouse in the dining room is the worst thing you can see. Food was excellent last time and staff was great.
Mussels were tasty. Salmon was wild caught not farm raised!!!! Great that the noise level accommodated conversation with out screaming. Were seated immediately at reservation time.
Authentic!

We had a party of 7 to celebrate my son's and daughter's birthdays, including my 90 year old dad born in Kalamata. We started with a delicious and varied assortment of mezes. All were great and complemented by a very nice vintage Greek sparkling wine. We then ordered main dishes which included 2 fish entrees, 3 lamb entrees, spanakopita, and mousaka. Everyone was more than satisfied. We had a really nice Greek white wine, a malagousia, and some red wine as well. The service was very good throughout. The server was very good with our large group. Each of our two flights of food came all together to the table. They really did a great job taking care of us.

The sauce had good flavor.
A lovely, busy Greek restaurant. I started my meal with a nice expresso martini; my friend enjoyed the Persephone. I needed a light meal, so I chose the egg lemon soup and mussels. The waiter was right, there was enough for two. My friend had the cod. My only disappointments were the afterdinner masticha drink - a very light and aromatic drink. I think I did not care for their brand. Also the galatoboreko was over saturated with overly sweet syrup and needed more custard. Otherwise, a wonderful meal.
