Authentic Greek food simple and amazing
by bostonian30something at Citysearch
Desfina does not come off as any place fancy, it looks rather small town family like and that is how it is run. Its location on Third street probably keeps diners away who go by sighting places and easy to access locations. Though parking is ample in the area, I believe people most likely are not aware of that. I also believe that if anyone ate here, they would suffer bad parking to come again and again. I say thta because I have been back now quite a few times and I see familiar faces there - true fans of genuine Greek food. This menu needs to be sampled to be understood, its excellence come not from complicated expensive ingredients but highly fresh Greek staples. The chicken kabob for example is just green and red peppers, onions and chicken - yet it is basted in an amazing healthy low salt sauce that leaves nothing to be desired. The chef uses only the freshest ingreients and the preparation is fine dining level. The staff are extremely friendly and the restaurant itself is spacious, clean and comfortable. If you like Greek food stop by and if you don't... stop by and learn to.
- Pros: Genuine Greek Food, inexpensive and superb
- Cons: Location

Delicious, authentic Greek food
by lilkel8267 at Citysearch
While weekend nights can be a bit crowded and noisy (a band may be playing), you can still get a seat promptly, and the food is wonderful. The tzatziki is the best I've ever had, and the pastichio is also great. While not high-brow, the atmosphere is comfortable and conducive to enjoying a good meal.
- Pros: Can't miss entrees and appetizers
- Cons: A bit off the beaten path
