    The food is exceptional and the service was excellent. It was not over crowded and I think that may have been because of the cold, but this is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in the area.

    Thassos never ceases to amaze! How refreshing to find a restaurant that understands the importance of good service. Did I mention the food? I tried the meatballs with red sauce for the first time (I make a point to try something new every time I go to Thassos) and my goodness what flavor! I always recommend this place to my friends and family, and I plan to be a returning customer for a long time!

    Went for Christmas Eve. First time ever dining there. Menu was great. Appetizers were excellent. Great baked clams and the best fried calamari and shrimp with spectacular cocktail sauce. Margarita pizza was perfect. Strongly recommend the Zuppa do pesce. Sauce a bit of the thicker side than what I’m used to. But great flavor and generous amount of seafood. Excellent cannoli and gelato too. Our server was very attentive. Can’t wait to go back to try more entrees.
