The Scene – While many Greektown restaurants encourage a boisterous atmosphere, Costa's is peaceful and sophisticated. Close tables fill two dining rooms, and Greek disco music plays in the background. Service is polite, but not ebullient--for example, saganaki (flaming fried Greek cheese) is served quietly, with no shouts of "Opa!" to be heard. – – The Food – Large portions of Greek specialties start with outstanding appetizers: Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) are huge and tasty, while stuffed, grilled calamari features a terrific presentation of two large calamari…

Amazing Greek Food!!! Wonderful Service! Elegant Atmosphere!

by jamesmason37

Costa's is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Everything I have ever ordered here has been delicious. The service is wonderful: really old-fashioned, non-invasive but entertaining, the waiters look out for your best interests. One of the best things I've eaten here was the stuffed chicken breasts, but I also love the Athenian chicken and the Moussaka. Absolutely DO NOT LEAVE COSTA'S WITHOUT THE CHOCOLATE BAKLAVA. They bring out a beautiful dessert tray, but if you choose the chocolate baklava the waiter will give you a little nod indicating that you made the right choice. The atmosphere is very elegant. This is a nice place to go on a special occasion or a date. At busy times, you will have to wait for a table, even though this place is expansive. The food here is not cheap, but it is justified by the quality. I am usually tempted to try some of the other restaurants in Greek town, but I always return to Costa's and I never regret it. This is where all my Greek friends eat as well.

  • Pros: Authentic and Traditional, Great Food, Service
  • Cons: Pricey
