  Excellent food and service. The lamb skewer and octopus gave us a taste of Greece in Peabody. Mariana at the front helped set the tone for a great night with her kindness and enthusiasm!

  Celebrating New Year’s Eve at Ithaki Mediterranean Restaurant was nothing short of a five-star dining experience. We had an 8:00 PM reservation, and despite the restaurant being lively with couples and families ringing in the new year, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance—festive and energetic, yet still comfortable enough to hold a conversation. From start to finish, the service was truly top tier. Even on such a busy holiday night, the pacing never felt rushed. Drinks, appetizers, entrées, and dessert flowed seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy each course at just the right rhythm. The staff was professional, warm, and genuinely welcoming, making it clear that choosing to dine with them was appreciated. A special touch that stood out was the hostess making rounds throughout the dining room, personally checking in with guests to ensure everything tasted great and that no one needed a thing—an attention to detail that elevated the entire experience. We started with the Octopus Carpaccio (GF), served with jalapeño and sweet peppers, pickled onion pearls, lemon zest, olive oil, and fried capers. The octopus was cooked perfectly—tender, delicate, and never rubbery. It was lightly seasoned, allowing the natural flavors and freshness of the seafood to shine, while the bright acidity and subtle heat enhanced every bite without overpowering it. The presentation was elegant and restrained—just enough to showcase the dish before diving in. For entrées, we enjoyed the Rack of Lamb (GF) accompanied by potatoes, eggplant, and zucchini ratatouille-style. The lamb was cooked flawlessly—juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful without being over-seasoned. Ithaki clearly trusts the quality of their ingredients, letting the natural juices and richness of the meat speak for themselves. Each bite was balanced and comforting, with vegetables that complemented rather than competed with the star of the plate. The Wagyu was equally impressive, served with whipped potatoes, asparagus, wild mushrooms, and a silky demi-glace. The meat was cooked to perfection—rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Again, restraint was key here: no heavy seasoning, just thoughtful execution that allowed the natural depth of the Wagyu to truly light up the taste buds. The presentation was refined but not overdone, highlighting the food itself rather than distracting from it. What truly sets Ithaki apart is the value behind the menu. For the price point, you are getting exceptionally high-quality, fresh ingredients prepared by someone who clearly understands and respects Greek cuisine. Every dish reflects experience, intention, and authenticity—food cooked by a kitchen that knows exactly what it’s doing. Overall, Ithaki delivered an exceptional New Year’s Eve dining experience—from the atmosphere and service to the impeccable execution of every dish. We loved celebrating such a special night here and absolutely can’t wait to return for another memorable occasion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Ithaki is an upgraded version of what I call the “corporate hotel restaurant”. It has a bit of mediterranean flair though maybe isnt quite a real mediterranean restaurant. The menu items are mixed in quality. The trio of dips were quite good and came with tons of pita chips, which in combination with the bread was a huge appetizer course. Greek salad was standard. The chicken and lamb entrees were had were decent, id mainly recommend the salmon. We ordered a number of the mocktails- I enjoyed the quite spicy jalapeno flavor with grapefruit juice. We came on a very busy night with no reservations and got seats at the bar, and the servers were friendly.

  Ithaki Greek Restaurant in Peabody is an absolute gem and a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Greek cuisine done right. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. I began with the lamb lollipops, and they were perfection—tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly as they should be. Easily one of the best starters I’ve had in a long time. For my entrée, I ordered the rack of lamb, and it completely exceeded expectations. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with rich Mediterranean flavor—this dish alone is reason enough to come back. The Greek salad was fresh, crisp, and beautifully balanced, a perfect complement to the meal. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, I finished with the baklava—sweet, flaky, and indulgent without being overpowering. The perfect ending. The food, atmosphere, and attention to detail all reflect true pride in Greek culinary tradition. Ithaki delivers an elevated dining experience that feels both comforting and special. Highly recommend—this is Greek food at its finest. 🇬🇷🍽️
