KOSTAS Taverna sits right in Messonghi’s center. It’s not just a restaurant thing, really. Walk through the door and they treat you like family right away. Place has this vibe going on. Stylish but not trying too hard, you know. Evenings get that romantic feel with some low-key tunes playing around you. Decor’s got that warm, put-together look. Probably the nicest spot to eat around here, if we’re being honest about it.
The food there was something else. Wow. We tried a bunch of starters made with local stuff and that strong Greek olive oil they use everywhere.
Grilled octopus came out tender, really packed with flavor. Then there’s the linguine seafood dish. Honestly lands in my top three pastas ever had. And you gotta get the rooster pastitsada thing too.
