Cozy Greek taverna by the Martesana canal serving classic mezze, grills, and baked dishes; book ahead, expect lively rooms, good flavors, and mixed service with occasional reservation hiccups.
Taverna Greca Mykonos delivers solid neighborhood dining with well-prepared Greek classics and a charming canal-side setting that guests genuinely enjoy. However, quality variation across visits and service strain during peak hours—compounded by occasional reservation and billing mishaps—prevent it from reaching higher territory. It's a reliable choice for casual Greek comfort food in a lively atmosphere, competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants.
Tucked along the Martesana canal, this spot feels like a neighborhood taverna that gets packed early, the kind where warm decor and busy rooms set a convivial tone. Guests talk about shareable mezze and grills, and one summed it up as, "a cozy canal-side escape with hearty plates." Expect lively chatter and, at peak times, a very full house. The cooking sticks to Greek comfort staples rather than chef-y spins: moussaka, stuffed eggplant, haloumi, and the Mykonos mixed grill with tzatziki or yogurt. Most describe well-seasoned, satisfying food at fair Milan prices, though a few call some dips muted. Service is generally kind but can be stretched when every table is taken, and reservation lapses have frustrated a minority. For families, the menu works: kids often go for pita with sauces, yogurt, fries, haloumi, grilled chicken skewers, and rice. There is no explicit kids menu, but plenty of approachable choices. If you have serious allergies, communicate clearly and confirm plating, since one diner reported poor handling of a fava bean sensitivity.
