    Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day 2025 dinner at Prasino. The snowy Chicago weather meant it wasn’t overly crowded, making for a cozy and intimate experience. The ambiance was excellent, and while the entrée selection was somewhat limited, every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend for a date night or a business dinner!

    Great food and very good service. While other reviews said that the prices were high, we found them reasonable based on the serving sizes. We had dinner for two nights. The alcohol pours could be a little more substantial but we were there for the authentic Greek experience. We will continue to make Mana our go to for Greek food.
