I really can 't rate Ithaka any higher than a 2*. While the service was just fine, the price and food was not acceptable. Despite this, I note that even on a weekday, the restaurant was quite busy, and so many seem to be just fine with what is offered. As the location is just out of the core, it did look like it was mostly locals, not cruise ship visitors. I did go over the ratings prior to going there (as I usually do when selecting a restaurant, as TA rarely steers me wrong . In this case, I have to disagree with the overall rating. My issues started with our seating location, which I heard the front manager direct the hostess to place us in the family section. So rather than being in the...
We were comparing Ithaca to the restaurant preceding it. Service was great but we were disappointed with our food. We had the moussaka. It was barely warm and the potato topping was not fluffy and light but appeared like plaster. It was tasty but not great. Every other thing on the plate was stone cold (vegetables and rice). Veggies should be crunchy but not hard as rocks. Creme caramel was very nice but the way it was served could be more appealing. We had coffee lattes which were terrible. The coffee was so bitter we did not finish our cups and would not order coffee there again. The chef and cooking staff need to pay more attention to the temperature of the food.

Ithaka and specifically our server, Dave provided us with an absolutely exquisite dining experience. Amazing food, extensive wine list, super friendly and helpful staff, and a terrific atmosphere that really reminded us of the fun and boisterous but not out of control places at which we dined in Greece. We were actually sad when we finally had to leave and get some rest for our busy following day. If you're staying at one of the local hotels, definitely make sure you enjoy a meal at Ithaka.
The food at Ithaka is plentiful and delicious. If you have a large enough party be sure to try the tree dips offered with pita bread. Especially the olive dip. The shoulder of pork on mashed potatoes with seasonal vegetables was moist, tender and very filling. The service provided by Caitlyn was superb. Her knowledge of the food, drinks, and possible pairings made the dinner lovely.
