Half the tables are set on a tiled floor under a white canopy awning; the rest sit in sand and are shaded by bright orange umbrellas.

The quaint charm that fills the air is as tangible as the extra-virgin Greek olive oil that fills the vials placed on each table. Mandolin’s straightforward cooking is embodied in a sweet, tender curlicue of […]
This snug, 52-seat eatery dishes home-cooked Greek taverna fare free of contemporary tweaking. And that’s it. Although Maria’s recipes are not likely to inspire Homeric verse, they aren’t meant to. Our favorite starters here are the smooth, lemon-garlic-ticked hummus, scooped up via soft, warm, wheaty pita circles; and spinach-feta spanakopita, whose baked phyllo cap is […]
