Beloved neighborhood Greek taverna offering tasty grills and seafood at very low prices with friendly, fast service; expect simple decor, occasional smoke, and weekend crowds.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Argo earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like stuffed squid and grilled liver, paired with fast, friendly service that keeps diners returning. Outstanding value with generous portions at minimal cost reinforces its appeal as a neighborhood favorite, though modest ambiance and basic decor prevent it from reaching grade A territory where distinctive dining experiences typically reside.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling, a true neighborhood hangout where locals pile in for grills and seafood. Servers are friendly and fast, offering simple advice like trying the stuffed squid. One diner noted, "Full and happy for about ten euros." The cooking leans straightforward Greek taverna: pork skewers, honest burgers, perfect liver, village salad, and that feta-tomato stuffed squid that keeps getting shout-outs. Expect big portions at tiny prices and flavor-forward simplicity over presentation; occasional misses on fried items or seasoning do pop up. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like burgers, skewers, fries, and salads. Vegetarians can assemble a meal from baked feta, salads, and potatoes, but the menu skews meaty, so plan accordingly.
