Best moussaka I've had in my entire life.
Fantastic service.
This place knows what they are doing, we accidentally stumbled upon them and everything was great.

We had a phenomenal experience celebrating our anniversary over the summer. It was one of the best dining experiences we've had. The attention to detail in the preparation and seasoning of our dishes was amazing. We can’t wait to go back!

A Taste of Culinary Heaven

If ever there were a gateway to culinary heaven, surely it would be through the doors of this extraordinary restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in a warm, cozy atmosphere that feels like a gentle embrace — intimate yet elegant, familiar yet refined.

The service is nothing short of five-star perfection. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff elevate hospitality to an art form, anticipating your needs with grace and precision. Every detail, from the ambient lighting to the thoughtfully curated amenities, speaks of a place where comfort and sophistication coexist in harmony.

And then, the food. Oh, the food. Each dish is a masterpiece — a symphony of flavor, texture, and presentation that dazzles the senses and stirs the soul. Whether you’re savoring a delicate appetizer or indulging in a decadent dessert, you’ll find yourself pausing, eyes closed, in reverent appreciation of the culinary artistry before you.

This isn’t just a meal. It’s a ritual. A celebration. A moment of transcendence. Dining here is not merely an experience — it’s a memory etched in flavor, a story told in taste, and a journey you’ll want to relive again and again.

I was not extremely impressed with this place. It was nice enough but the food was very very expensive for what it was. There was not a very big menu either which puts limitations on folks who may have special diets. My son in law has celiacs and he was told the fries would be fine but then the girl came and told him the fryer was not clean so he shouldn’t get them. That was very nice that she came and told him so he didn’t get sick. I really appreciated that.

We went to Polizzi's for the first time and it won't be our last! The service along with our appitizers, main meal and desert was exceptional! The baklava and ice cream was like no other! Definitely homemade.
The food was spot on and everything was outstanding!

Always enjoyable, and food has been superb each time. On my most recent visit, I brought two cousins here. One had never tried moussaka and was delighted with her dish. The other said his steak was the best he’d ever eaten. My mushroom risotto was delicious, with real savor of wild mushrooms.

Also, walking up to the place at dusk on a warm autumn evening through the delightful Village Gate courtyard added to the ambiance of the occasion.

Food was absolutely amazing. Lots of variety of choices. Love thier cod meal and my husband had lamb. Both were very good. Their service was amazing as well. We celebrate our 19 years of marriage and I'm glad we choose this place. It was popping for a Tues evening.

We had appetizers and drinks at the bar. Service was excellent! Food was good & my only critique Is that the beets on the salad were a vinegar bomb. Less vinegar and maybe some honey in the pickling juice? Thank you for a pleasant visit

Despite the hospitality of how i was provided our dinner, my wife & weren't pleased with the taste — which is why we'll sample dine in for never before eaten meals

Although, i am certain that with considerable effort, the preparation was time-consuming, our tastbuds weren't satisfied; there was much more lemon within the seasoning than necessary & the shrimp was bland & undercooked (which i initially failed to mention)—i don't eat seafood). While the rice only included saffron, the shrimp seemed covered in lemon

the Tuscan chicken would've been modified to exclude the peas entirely, & the beans—or to either have on the side (had i known the flavor wouldn't agree with me)

the baked bread would've been requested to have precut, with another during a dine in, aforementioned (never had it, so i hadn't a clue of the taste)

Nonetheless, appreciated, yet not as anticipated in the experience in regards of taste

we may have to dine in our next time out to sample a different selection

i am not @ liberty to share the atmospheric experience 'til i actually dine in

Parking: pay attention to where the restaurant is located — by designated complexes within the Plaza
