Drive to the Danforth for tourist-y food or find something up north. Not sure it is worth the drive to Pape to get meat on a stick - real tasty meat on a stick.
After scouring the web for souvlaki north of 7, Ithaca showed up on the radar.
Had decent reviews and it would save me the hassle of trying to park during dinner time off the Danforth strip.
Ithaca is located down restaurant row with limited parking for such a busy strip mall. The restaurant is flanked by Chinese and Pho restaurants. The Pho place is called "Pho Quinn" - yes, er...nice play on words.
The place reminds me of a Mr. Greek restaurant. You know, hand painted walls and a large menu served by older gentlemens. They had the standard fare and even "Italian" - go figure.
We had a variety of items and some good and some not so good.
The fried calamari was dark battered and was not crispy and light as other places I've been. The greek salad and the pikalia was good. The gyro was like all the others, and the various souvlaki was not a major standout either.
Basically, if you want a decent Greek meal and not make a long drive to get all the touristy ambiance with the food, Ithaca can be that place.
OPA!
