Elia Taverna Marblehead

We ordered some trays of keftedes(meatballs) and chicken Santorini for a holiday party. Everyone raved about the meatballs. One guest who is from Greece remarked that they were better than her own homemade meatballs. Both items were delicious. Highly recommend!

We reserved Elia Taverna for a surprise party for my mom’s 75th birthday in November and were so pleased with every step of the event! The owner Angelo was very helpful picking menu items and allowed us to bring decorations which complimented the beautiful restaurant. He was very attentive and seemed to be able to effortlessly pivot with any changes. Our guests are still remarking on how beautiful the dining room was, how helpful and friendly the staff was, and how delicious every dish was. The pastichio and moussaka are still making my mouth water. We love Greek food and love that we were able to stay local and eat 5 star quality food. No notes- it was a perfect evening!

I’ll be thinking about this meal for awhile! Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Great service. Only complaint was the serving sizes are huge! We wanted to sample a couple appetizers plus our mains, and we ended up with way more food than we could eat. The moussaka was delicious but an absolutely gigantic portion—great if you can take it to-go and eat for lunch the next day!

Elia Taverna is a Marblehead gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. (Skerdi is the best!!!) The food is delicious, can't wait to come back!

The food was good. Our server was not interested in us. My real complaint is not the server or the food but the noise level is extremely high. We thought the food was very good and would definitely take out from there in the future.

If you want an authentic greek meal, this is the place to go. The service is amazing - we had a group of 7 people and ordered drinks, a bunch of apps and a couple entrees, so we could try everything. It was phenomenal. There wasn't one item that we weren't going crazy over. It has a small, cozy, casual vibe, but very nice. You will not be disappointed if you go here!!!!

Needs more greek spices/flavor like it is in Detroit Greektown.

Everything was delicious! One of the best restaurants around ! Very authentic ... our friends just returned from Greece and they were delighted with every bite!

We called for take out, but the staff were friendly and the packaging was fab. Well done.

Located in the heart of Marblehead - our dinner was great! Seated promptly and greeted warmly. We had the octopus & arugula salad. The octopus was lightly, grilled, tender & flavorful served over a fresh favs bean purée - really good! I had the whole branzino - grilled & seasoned perfectly. My husband had the lamb shank over orzo and it fell off the bone & the sauce & orzo were the perfect accompaniment. For dessert- the best galtiborika (spelling)!!
