This white-tablecloth Greek restaurant (in the wide-open space formerly occupied by Courtyards of Plaka) is modeled after a Mediterranean villa. Spacious white-washed and terra-cotta tiled dining rooms evoke Greece at its sunniest. Regional specialties include garlicky appetizers, saganaki (of course), lamb dishes, seafood, kebabs and vegetarian moussaka. Very good cooking and extremely friendly service characterize the city and suburban Costa's. Generous portions prove this a great place to take the clan.
