    Delicious and authentic Greek dishes. Lovely tzatziki. Great service, thanks Rachael!

    Grilled Octopus, lunch platter, and their amazing Sangria

    Every single time we pass through Plattsburgh we make it a point to come here! We love the great food, sit outside, sangrias, octopus, gyro...you name it, we love it every time. Wish we had you in our town!!

    Gyro platter entree
    Hairy S.

    This is $41 at Alekas. To be fair , the 2 pitas and 2 Tzatziki sauce cups are not pictured. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions which used to be included. the Tzatziki sauce was more like runny sour cream with garlic and no cucumber. The waitstaff was rude even though I left a larger than required tip for takeout to support them. Won't be doing that again. Alekas used to be a real good restaurant with really good food. I'm suspecting new management or owner? Maybe Bidenomics ? Either way I would have gotten a better gyro platter and way cheaper at any county fair and without the waitstaff's attitude. Not sure what happened inside but it was dark , in disarray and uninviting. I've been eating here with my coworkers for over 10 years. Disappointed, yeah. Will I recommend them, no. Will I go back, probably not. It's really sad after reading other reviews to see a Plattsburgh food staple fall from grace. (10 days and no response from owner says all you need to know)

    Apple pie Sangria. It sounds it would be sweet but was not. Very good!

    This place was hopping busy. We had spanakopita pie, fried calamari, & cheese pizza & added gyro meat. The pizza was amazing. The calamari was a little tough and chewy. The service was great in spite of how busy it was. Come & Enjoy!

    Greek fries!!! Delicious
    Renee H.

    We had delicious food. Our service was wonderful. We had a really great lunch today. Even the desserts were fantastic. The hummus really was splendid. Our favorite part was the Greek fries.

    The food was delicious, could have been 5 stars, but the food came very slow! Just for the 4 of us we had to wait almost for half an hour after we ordered our food, for that I subtracted a star.

    Was in town for an event. Was one of the few places still open. The decor is a little lacking, but the falafel sandwiches were good.

    Little Italian American establishment in the Plattsburgh Plaza strip mall that had more closed…read morestorefronts than opened ones. But the place was nice and the food was ample and very tasty. We ordered a large salad that came with bread and butter. Very soft fluffy Italian bread. The spaghetti with meat sauce ease was quite a lot of meat sauce. Very generous with meat and sausage meat. One of us ordered a side of meatballs and those were quite large. The chicken parmigiana was tender. And also smoke. Everything was reasonably priced and we all needed a doggy gag. Service was friendly and prompt. We will need to come back again.

    The Yelp reviews for Nonna Lisa's Kitchen were a main factor in deciding to come here for dinner…read more(we live in MI and were on vacation). I was excited to try this place with the reviews but was a little apprehensive when we pulled up - small strip mall that has seen better days but we were hungry and figured we would give it a shot. The interior is cute -- but small. Not many tables but thankfully we were on the early side for dinner so only one other table was occupied when we arrived. We quickly decided what we wanted to eat and placed our order. Our salads came out fast and they were very delicious. I am a sucker for black olives so was thrilled to see them on the salad. I noticed that the other table (a couple) were still waiting for their meal and it showed up a short time later. A few more tables were seated and we were still waiting for our meal. It became evident that there was one server and one cook. When our meal showed up, we were not disappointed. The sauce on my chicken parm was savory with just a hint of sweetness. And it had chunks of tomatoes in it - huge plus for this tomato loving gal! I don't know where they got this chicken breast but it was huge! It was very well seasoned and probably one of the best chicken parms I've ever had in my life! For dessert, my hubby decided to get the cannoli dip. I'm bummed that I cannot eat dairy cuz that dessert was massive! My husband barely put a dent in it and took the rest home for a snack later on that evening. We would definitely come back again if we are in the area!

The only thing that's changed in the last 50 years is that Arnie passed away 3 years ago; his son now carries on the tradition. Lotsa nostalgia here; that's what continues to draws us back when we are in the area.

They have been in business for 60 years and claim their customers are pretty close to being family. Arnie's upstairs dining room almost feels like a relative's formal dining room. coming to food which was the worst part. * Gingerbread: I am not an expert on Expert on Italian food, but gingerbread was never like this. they just kept it in a toaster and cheese slice and that's it... see the photo. I felt like I was eating a big cheese piece on normal bread - 0/5. * Shrimp Scampi- so they just brought boiled spaghetti with shrimp... IMO, it was not cooked at all, they might have tossed it in a wok, but nope, it was not edible at all. Upon asking, all we heard was - we make it like that. We returned it. * Hot Turkey Sandwich: considering all the food we got, I guess I am satisfied with the sandwich... Server (fat lady, I am not judging folks)- she was good though, sweet and patient with us. It's just food was not at all good, and we did not have a nice experience here.
