Authentic Greek cuisine is on the menu at this popular restaurant in the downtown Pittsburgh cultural district. Restaurant owner Christos Melacrinos, once personal chef to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, has decorated the place with personal mementos and family photos.
This small restaurant is popular with downtown workers looking for a quick lunch or a bite after work, as well as for a dinner or light snack before or after a show. Outside dining is available, weather permitting.
The Food:
The food here is generally delicious, but filling and inexpensive. Expect to find soups, Greek salads, homemade hummus, roast lamb, moussaka, spanakopita, baklava, and other traditional Greek fare. Try the Jackie O cake, a vanilla cake topped with custard, honey, cinnamon, and whipped cream.

The Scene:
The restaurant is a little old and small. No frills. The old photos and mementos give you plenty to look at, however. Service is average, and can be a little slow at peak times. Very convenient to the Benedum, Heinz Hall, and other Cultural District locations.
