After two years of turning away practically pitch-fork-wielding mobs of souvlaki-starved customers they didn’t have room for, Kefi’s Michael Psilakis and Donatella Arpaia have traded up to a bigger space. Aside from 130 more seats, the new Kefi has much to offer that the old Kefi did not: namely a credit-card machine, a reservationist, brunch, lunch, and some kind of ouzo-dispensing contraption. The rustic Greek dinner menu remains intact, with the addition of several new items including a Kefi burger. And the prices remain shockingly low, with appetizers ranging from $8.50 to $12.25, and pastas and entrées from $12.25 to $21.95.
NoteAs good as the pastas and main courses are, it’s fun to make a meal out of several meze and sample the ouzo selection along the way.
Ideal MealR.P.: Spreads to share, meatball soup, pasta with braised rabbit, or pork souvlaki. R.R.: Warm Feta, crispy cod, walnut cake with walnut ice cream.
