    Food was super mediocre and for the price it didn’t add up. Didn’t feel like stuff was Homeade.

    Our first time. Very pleased all around. Menu might be a bit limited for frequent repeat visits, but everything was delicious, and a variety of plate sizes facilitates a mosaic of options perhaps not immediately apparent with only 3 regular large plates. Some daily specials, too. Cozy ambience, friendly, low-key, attentive service. Definitely going back!

    Our second visit didn’t disappoint! The atmosphere is comfortable, casual and relaxing. We both ordered large plate dinners, lamb bolognese with polenta and the chicken with Brussels sprouts and rice. Portions are good, food was served warm (good on a cold winter night) leaving us satisfied but not too full. The staff are attentive and polite. We recommend Magissa for an evening out.

    Delicious NYE dinner! We enjoyed our first visit and look forward to another soon. Lovely place, a bit loud but definitely worth a visit.

    We had a corner table with banquette seating in the lovely space. Mezze and small plates were good, chicken good and the lamb gyro very good. Nice to have a Greek restaurant option in Portland after Emilitsa’s untimely closure
