About this spot
Pylos recreates the taverna experience with rustic Greek cooking that emphasizes proper charcoal grilling and traditional preparations over the typical Greek-American standards. Their grilled octopus arrives properly charred with just olive oil and lemon, while the lamb chops showcase the kind of simplicity that lets quality ingredients shine. The terracotta pot-hung ceiling creates an atmosphere that transports you straight to the Cyclades.
