Reviews for Anassa Taverna in New York, NY
We started with drinks at the bar. Our bartender Christian was excellent! I had a Maria Callas and this cocktail is deserving of... the name, it was crisp and yet mellow, sweet but not overly so, and elegant to the extreme. For dinner our party of four sharedthe octopus, meatballs, Greek salad, and bread with hummus, they were all excellent especially the octopus. I had the salmon formy entre was perfection! Read more
Best Greek food in the United States. Yes, the United States. Best food, atmosphere, service and company. Their octopus and... lobster ravioli are the best, in addition to everything else on the menu! Top notch restaurant! Read more
Delicious food and cocktails. The restaurant is nestled in a quaint location. Servers are polite and attentive. We got to this... place after a short walk from the financial district. I recommend trying their octopus and their cocktails. Would definitelyrecommend when visiting the lower Manhattan / financial district / One World Trade Center Read more

Really enjoyed this Anassa Taverna! The octopus was tender, the Greek salad is a big portion, they gave complimentary hummus &... bread for the table (their hummus is delicious and more lemony than others) and the drinks were delicious. I don’t usually gofor meatballs when I dine out but theirs had amazing flavor. Honestly we typically expect more kinks when a restaurant is so newbut our waiter really knew the menu and was professional. Our food came out very quickly and as we requested…overall a perfectexperience. The only thing to look out for is that if you dine outdoors, there were a lot of little flies that kept flying ontoour table! So sit inside if that would bother you. I’m sure they’ll find a way to take care of that issue or maybe it’sjust the time of year. We were well overdue for a nice restaurant to fill this space and so happy it’s a Greek place withdelicious food! Read more

Oh my oh my what a delicious meal and outstanding service. The pita bread was great, lamb skewers and meatballs well seasoned,... the fried cheese was absolutely delicious, and snapper and veggies on top of it was wonderful. I had a fig cocktail and it wasfestive and delicious. Highly highly recommend! We were a group of 5 and shared 2 mains, 2 sides, and 2 apps and we walked awaypretty stuffed! Some of us had cocktails and shared a bottle of Greek wine and our bill ended up being about $62 (excluding tip)per person! Read more
