About the restaurant

Pizzeria, a synonym for home, a soul place. The place where everything started. Where our life story exists and lives. Where ancient techniques and traditions are strictly adopted. Where the best food products we can get strengthen their flavors, aromas and colors of our dishes. Where when the working hours are over we gather around the table with the desire and happiness to share dinner. Where the pizzeria becomes a creativity lab so as to offer unique combinations of flawless quality and taste. Where everything is the result of a great team effort. Where we enjoy the pleasure of cooking for others and make them happy. Where Crosta comes to life!

Always like the food and service. The music is just way too loud for a family restaurant. Not a very good playlist either. Might not come back for a while as it’s difficult to have a conversation.

PSARAKI

Greek

Williamsburg

About the restaurant

Psaraki, meaning “little fish” in Greek, is the creation of longtime hospitality veteran James Paloumbis.

The restaurant evokes the charm of seaside tavernas found along the shores of Greece. It offers spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, and the Williamsburg Bridge, juxtaposing the tranquility of its serene ambiance with the vibrant energy of nearby Manhattan. Psaraki is a place to unwind, enjoy a perfect cocktail, and savor traditional homemade Greek dishes meant for sharing while escaping NYC's hustle and bustle.

Psaraki’s menu is inspired by James’ culinary philosophy, which he terms “homemade”, where each dish is a testament to the authenticity and connection of family recipes, traditionally prepared and presented as if one was a visitor in James’s seaside home. Guests can enjoy a sampling of classic Greek dishes and a selection of Greek island favorites.

Portions are small for what you pay for but absolutely delicious. The chairs are extremely uncomfortable. The metal back piece of the chairs dig into your back. Definitely will go back because everything else was great!
