Greek Taverna - Greek restaurant in Sarasota - 4105, 5755 S Beneva Rd, USA

We had dinner at the Greek Taverna last night and enjoyed not only the food but the courteous service we received. We got there quite late, around 7:30, but we receive great attention and our food was served hot and all the choices we made were great. Thanks for the nice evening we had.

Truly wonderful Greek food. The best Moussaka that I’ve had In years. Could actually taste all the intricate flavors of the dish. Also, had a wonderful sauce over the cooked octopus appetizer. Salad was tasty and fresh. Loved eating the authentic homemade dishes with the Greek music playing in the background.

I found the Greek Taverna when I first moved to the area and was homesick missing my Greek family’s cooking. I was so happy to have found this place, it made me feel like I was right back at home. The food is amazing and authentic coming from a Greek. I will be back again soon!

Quaint little restaurant with very delicious Greek food. Service was prompt and courteous. (I believe the waiter was the owner) Only two other tables were occupied at the time we arrived. (Sunday evening). I chose the Octopus and Pasta and my wife ordered the Greek Giouvetsi. The octopus was cooked to perfection. (Not rubbery). This dish was FLAVORFUL. The roasted chunks lamb my wife ordered said it was very tender/tasty. All the Greek restaurants I have dined, this is one that I will return for dinner. For a small business, this place packs a punch when to comes to Greek dining. Give it a try, I believe you will not be disappointed.

We were the only diners on a Friday night, which i will never understand. The food was absolutely delicious—one of the best spinach pies I’ve had in my life. The house salad was fresh and had great flavors and presentation. The server was friendly and attentive. Clean, welcoming, and super yummy! We will definitely return!

Maybe other dishes are good but skip the carbonara. It was overcooked, swimming in sauce, with no panchetta or scallions. When I said I didn't like it no attempt at making it better was offered. Thankful that the salad and wine was good. Will try again but will stick to the Greek dishes.

We had dinner at the Greek Taverna tonight and it was awesome! We had traditional Greek food from Greek Country bread to moussaka, spanakopita and for dessert a decadent piece of Galaktoboureko. It was warm right from the oven. It is made of phyllo dough, a creamy custard filling, and an unbelievable syrup, made with sugar, water, honey, cinnamon, and lemon zest. We will definitely be back.

Absolute hidden gem, delicious food! Tastes homemade, very filling and flavorful!! The waiter that was there was lovely, excellent service. Will be back if we come back to Sarasota!
