We had the pork potstickers for an app and was really good. I had the roasted chicken, hubby had rigatoni and son has spaghetti bolognese. Everything was good. Best part was the bread with dipping oil. So yummy.

Krasi exceeded my expectations with its bold Greek flavors and incredible wine selection. The crispy chicken skin was a highlight, pairing perfectly with the htapiti. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and both the apaki and patates were flawlessly prepared. The wine menu is exceptional, offering an impressive variety of Greek and orange wines, making for a truly elevated dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone looking to explore Greek cuisine and wine at its finest. I’ll definitely be returning!
