Complete your pallet by indulging in our selective wine list which takes you through a journey of the old to new world. This, coupled with warm and friendly service, and our inviting, cozy ambiance are what make up the ingredients of Amylos’ recipe for “philoxenia”.

Wonderful place with excellent food. Waiter made a mistake with one order that was quickly corrected. Moussaka balls appetizer was terrific as was the lemon chicken soup. The linguine with lobster had an amazing sauce, even if the lobster was a bit overcooked. But it was terrific otherwise, with a lot of pasta to take home. The cheesecake is a must!
