Don’t be afraid to try out the Italian menu, just because of the restaurants name! I have NEVER had such a good pesto pasta in my entire life! A friend who went to Cornell just shy of a DECADE ago still remembers this restaurant and actually recommended it.Go for the angel hair pasta or a long pasta in general, it complements the pesto sauce.Also amazing options included the chicken souvlaki platter, it was flavorful but not over salted like many other restaurants.
We did not get what we ordered, and they are not answering the phone. We are staying at a remote hotel w/o dinner options, and so we ordered enough food for two hungry people. They delivered, to the front desk, something completely different from our order - and only enough food for one person. Never mind that we *way overpaid* for what was delivered, it was only enough for one, and we are two. Two hungry people. And they are not answering the phone.Do not order food from these clowns.
One of the best restaurants in Ithaca not only does it have great food but it has a great owner I would recommend 10/10
Fantastic Greek food. I have now came to Cornell for business trips a total of 4 times. Every time I have gotten food from Souvlaki House, and every time it has been absolutely fantastic. I lived right outside "Greek Town" in Baltimore for 5+ years, and adore Greek food. They do it right here. The dolmades, the souvlaki, the gyro, the salad, the bread, everything is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Fresh, traditional Greek dishes prepared authentically. Also a wide selection of pasta and pizza. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous.
Generous portions of delicious food! Eggplant, veal, ravioli and spanakopita were beautifully prepared and piping hot. Staff and owner-amazing hospitality-filotimo.
What a great find. Charming little place with a huge menu of Greek and Italian food. Giant bowl of salad and breadsticks for the table to share. Everything made in house, including the baklava. Fast and oh so friendly service. The whole family loved it, including the kids. We can’t wait to go back.
Every time I went with my buddies in a small group, I've consistently had a B+ experience with solid/good food and usually solid service (although wait times can be long). However, the times I've come with a big party, the food that we've been served was not even mediocre in quality - the meatballs tasted unfresh, the chicken parm was average, and the pasta + marinara sauce felt microwaved. I'll give Souvlaki credit with their breadsticks, however; they're great.In addition, I feel like their menu is too expansive. It's overwhelming for customers and probably the chefs too and I feel like everyone would benefit from a smaller menu.
Great Greek / Italian menu. Enjoyed the falafel and Souvlaki. Pleasant prompt service. My only problem: too much food! (A good problem :)Update: I'm always on the lookout to re-experience Mykonos 1970 - a few drachma for Souvlaki (served out of a hole in the wall) - about a quarter size of the one experienced here! And easier to handle :-)
Ok so I read the reviews before going and almost didn't go. We ordered the Hummos, Souvlaki platter and Gyro platter. Portion were very generous.As others have said the gyro was a little unsalted but I liked it. Some places make it very salty. I just added a little more salt and pepper with the Tatziki sauce it was yummy.The staff are very friendly and served us on time. It was a clean atmosphere. I will definitely return.
