Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Itasca

First off, our waiter was one of the best I've ever had. I'm sorry that I don't know how to spell his name but it started with Pan. Panagoitis? So sorry! He was AWESOME! Friendly, helpful, quick and made great recommendations. Second, the ambiance was lovely. We were in the "outdoor" portion of the restaurant that is closed to the elements for winter but it is an adorable space (think Euro cafe) that was toasty with heaters. The building itself is old, brick, historic and probably architecturally significant. It really lends to the ambiance of the restaurant. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, the food was out of this world! We tried the tasting board (three dips with pita), all of which were fantastic. Boyfriend loved the classic hummus, I loved the eggplant spread. Then we shared spanakopita which I could have eaten all by myself. Our entrees were a special - think moussaka with pasta instead of eggplant and a Diane salad with grilled shrimp. For desert we had a filo dough (LOVE THAT STUFF!) pastry filled with cream with cherry syrup on top and an orange cake (think vanilla cake with a heavenly essence of orange that tickles your nose and tastebuds) with pistachio ice cream. Every item knocked it out of the park - 10 out of 10! We live pretty far away (1 hour plus) so we probably can't come here as often as we would if we were in the neighborhood but we would if we could. Seriously, check it out and wear stretchy pants!

Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The mushroom omelette was absolute perfection! And I do mean- perfect!! The service, the vibe, all of it - outstanding!!

Chris was a great waiter and the food was delicious. Great ambience.

Every dish was excellent. Very friendly service. Great for a quiet dinner on a Thursday night. Definitely will be coming back.

The food never fails to exceed expectations. They offered a pumpkin cheese cake which was so light it didn’t seem like the typical too dense cheesecake (which I liked)…it was simply delicious
