The grilled octopus was the best thing I've ever put into my mouth. All the dishes tasted great and beyond expectations. The service was also A+. I dropped by trying to get a table earlier than my reservation time. The lady kindly remembered my name and face and managed to get a table for us. Our waiter was also very friendly and patient. Last but not least, the wines were amazing!! My husband was skeptical of Greek wines but turned out to be amazed. read more

I've been to Krasi multiple times and have to say BRAVO to this phenomenal Greek restaurant. Krasi is incredibly authentic and features a range of Greek dishes and ingredients you may be familiar with, as well as those you may not know. The menu changes seasonally but some highlights for me have been the Jerusalem artichokes (AMAZING), the make it yourself tzatziki (super fun), the prawns, osso bucco...and let's be honest just about everything else. The staff are friendly, welcoming, attentive and downright delightful. My one issue is with the wine menu. Don't get me wrong -- the wine list is phenomenal and has a HUGE selection of Greek wines. The problem is that unless you're an expert on Greek wines (which I'm willing to bet most of us are not), you have no idea what you're looking at. I think it would be hugely helpful to add a few tasting notes next to each of the wines (yes I realize this would make the 10-page menu even longer). It doesn't have to be much, just a few key things for you to know about the wine -- would make it much friendlier and less intimidating for guests. Go to Krasi. Just do it. read more

I went to this place the other night with a friend and we had a great experience. Although it was busy, it was still great service. The food we got was outstanding, and though we aren't big drinkers - drinks were great too. Can't wait to go back! read more

My partner and I went to Krasi for NYE. First of all, due to an emergency, we had to change the reservation 3 hours before, so I just assumed we would just lose our spot. However, Demetri was incredible and got us in anyway which was so kind. When we got to the restaurant, it was immaculately set up. They have large barriers for social distancing between booths. We were seated immediately and served at once. For food, we had the tiropita rolls (5/5), htipiti dip (incredible, spicy, 5/5), the politiki - butternut squash salad (5/5), the xtapodi - octupus (5/5, and one of the best dishes i've ever had in Boston), the giovetsi (lamb, 5/5 and the sofrito (veal 5/5) (both stellar). For dessert, we had kormos with the koufeto ice cream (5/5) which I loved. Basically, every single dish was incredible, with good portions, and healthy. I can't say enough good things about the staff, service, and food at Krasi. Will be back as soon as possible. read more

LOVE this place. Great atmosphere, great food. So fresh. We got some charcuterie and the tzatziki. The tzatziki is a must get, you make it yourself! So fun. We got the short rib and the pork which was the daily Greek rotisserie for the day. The pork needed a sauce, paired well with the tzatziki! The wine was great too. Hard to get a reservation though- we had to sit at the bar this time. read more

The service was great, but the food and ambiance left much to be desired. There seem to be some kinks that need worked out. For instance, we ordered a halloumi bread starter and received four rolls but the table next to us ordered the same and got three rolls. The beet salad was sad looking with about 6 tiny beet cubes. The best dish was the sea bass crisp and the greens with feta. The atmosphere was extremely loud for the tiny space. The music was loud; the lights were bright. The ambiance wasn't warm and inviting. The reason I gave this three stars instead of two is because the service was phenomenal. The staff was very attentive and thoroughly explained everything. Sadly, we probably won't be back for a while or recommend it to friends at this time. read more

Where to start! From the ambience to the service to the delicious food, this place hit the mark! Our group of 6 ordered the Feast of the Gods and it was 1000% worth it and so much delicious food. One of our friends is pregnant and vegetarian and our server was very accommodating which was much appreciated. The plates of food just kept coming and literally every dish was incredible and authentic. Highly recommend this restaurant for groups or a date night! Can't wait to dine here again! read more

Insanely good food and ambience! Probably my favorite restaurant in Boston. Continue coming back!

I came here for dinner with a friend around 8:30, and the place was still pretty packed around that time on a Tuesday night. Inside is dark and music plays loudly, so it would be great for a date night with a significant other, probably wouldn't recommend it as a first or second date though just because it might be hard to hear each other talk. The dishes are tapas style, so they're smaller plates meant for sharing. The waiter recommended 3-5 plates for a party of 2. My friend and I ordered the beets, octopus, scallops, wild mushroom, and lobster dip dishes and boy we were so stuffed by the end of the night. We didn't expect each tapa to have as much food as it did, so we actually had some leftovers to bring home as well. Keep in mind, it was just me and my friend sharing the dishes. Both me and my friend loved the scallops and lobster dip and those two dishes were both of our top 2 for the night. Everything tasted really good though. don't think you could go wrong with anything that is chosen. read more

I think I go to Boston specially to eat here! Cannot say enough about the food, drink and ambiance. Favorite every time I am in the hood!

Krasi is a gem-- feels like a neighborhood favorite already. Exceptional service that is seamless, polished and genuinely friendly. The wine recommendations are excellent and the food itself is fabulous and a little playful. This is my favorite restaurant in Boston. read more

best greek food in boston they serve a delightfully modern take on Greek classics that doesn't stray from authenticity. it feels like honest cooking - for the sake of flavor, experience, history, and honoring tradition. to the eye this food is fancy, to the taste it evokes greek taverna nostalgia. the menu is ever changing & seasonal making it a place you can go back to time and time again and never get tired of it. the wine list is unparalleled. ouzo on the rocks is never a miss. bring your yiayia here for her birthday - she'll never forget it. read more

They were fast to answer my questions even they are not open yet:) I need 2 tables for 8 people today at 5...now I've got one...can u help me to reserve the one for outdoor? Thx we're Great from California!! My Hubby is Greek 2..I just learned that u don't take reservations for outside seating..it's okay we'll go there early..thx for being a great owner - Krasi/Demetris:) read more

Delicious food, great service and wine recommendations. The lamb osso bucco and orzo was packed with flavor. We loved the homemade bread with tzatziki and potatoes with lemon sauce. My favorite was the "portokalopia" orange cake for dessert. Will definitely return the next time we are in Boston. read more

We walked in without a reservation but were able to grab a spot at the bar and had a fantastic meal Alexandra as our bartender/server. Great Greek wines paired perfectly with some of the best ultra-fresh food we've ever had. We will absolutely be back! read more

Got the Feast of God which is a great deal for a large party 5+ as you get to taste everything on the menu except for charcuterie. We had 9 people (mostly girls) in ours and we regretted ordering extra plates. It's literally a FEAST like you've never experienced. There was not a single plate of food that wasn't good. If I had to pick highlights - tzatziki - you mix ingredients into the yogurt at the spot - htipiti - the chicken skin!! So savory with great texture, like a meaty potato chip Garden- would recommend ordering the salata (had shaved summer squash and other veg) or heirloom tomato salad to lighten the meal. - pantzaria - I don't even like beets but they were so plump and the sauce with it was so roasty-nutty but a flavor profile I never experienced - papoutsakia - baked eggplants with mushrooms and bechamel and cheese on top. You can kind of imagine the rich texture just from the description. If you love eggplants, just get it. If you don't, it might change your mind about it but it is on the mushier side for people who can't stand that texture. Seafood- Tsipoura - A whole grilled sea bream. The presentation is a killer. And skin has some sweet-tangy sauce glazed on top then grilled so got the nice charred taste. Everything on the seafood section was good and fish were all very fresh. On a chilly day, order bourdeto which seems lk a Greek Cioppino w tomato broth and fennel! Meat- Sofrito - veal, so soft, I thought it was chicken thigh! On the more unctuous side. Skioufikta - the pasta was perfect al dente and seemed homemade, and the sauce was creamy and nutty but not in a typical cream pasta way! Plus the pork and pistachio? Too perfect to be true. Giouvarlakia - a filet mignon steak tartare with a Greek and Asian twist? The cracker used is a thin rice cracker. The tartare was very refreshing in flavor and the meat was super fresh and not chewy at all. If you are a fan of steak tartare, you'll def enjoy. Souvla - we had grilled chicken and so simple but so well seasoned and nicely charred Ugh and get wine. The semi sparkling Orange wine. It went well w everything! Sorry wish I took pics but everyone was busy eating... but every presentation comes out beautifully so you can order anything randomly and they will all come out looking like a star dish! read more

Wonderful food, wine, and service! We ordered the braised octopus, lamb osso buco, whipped feta, loukaniko, and octopus mortadella. Everything was delicious. Try the "Hoof & Lur" wine. You'll love it. read more

Such a beautiful atmosphere and the service was excellent! The food is so good, from the appetizers to the main course. Elegant touches to the venue and the menu. Had the rolls, hummus, side salad, patates, and the lamb. 10/10 recommend and would go again! read more

Visited Krasi on the opening day and it did not disappoint! They nailed it from the atmosphere, the vibe, the food, the drinks to the service... we will definitely be back! We started with the honey butter bread and table side tzatziki. The bread Tiropita was warm, flavorful and soft - perfect with the spread. Tzatziki was fun to watch them make and tailored to your taste. It was fresh and tasty- note that the portion is big and more than enough for 4 or more people. Must try - Midia fried mussels are so tasty and unique! We also enjoyed little shoes eggplants and braised octopus (very flavorful though a little bit salty). Service was great - our waiter Andrew was attentive, knowledgeable and fun. Manager Chris also made us felt welcome. Can't wait to try other things on the menu next time! read more

One of the most luxurious experiences in Boston! This place reminds me why I save my five stars for special occasions like this! From the amazing and most attentive service to some of the freshest and amazing food this place was absolutely incredible! I wasn't intending to get a glass of wine, but our waitress picked such a beautiful pairing I couldn't resist. I believe it was the XINOMAVRO Dalamara Naoussa, highly recommend. To start we had the TIROPITA rolls which were sinfully yummy! The secret star of the show was the HTIPITI with chicken skin crisps literally wanted like five more chicken crisps! The DAKOS garden salad was a beautiful tribute to tomatoes and tasted to fresh! My favorite entree of the evening was definitely the MAKARONADA or lobster pasta and was incredible, there are no words to describe besides go order this. To finish it off we got the lamb SOUVLA which was very yummy but I would have killed for some sort of dipping sauce. Other than that fabulous experience, I highly recommend sitting at the bar to get to see your beautiful dinner made in front of you. Amazing service and food! Will definitely be back read more

Food was excellent (5/5), but giving 4 stars because they were PACKED at 100% capacity. We ordered the feast of the gods, which was every dish on the menu (turned out to be about 22 dishes). It was a HUGE amount of food, probably would've been good for 6 people but we were 4 so we left stuffed. Some standouts included the tzatziki, made with super fresh yogurt and cucumber/dill. They were great paired with the tiropita rolls, which were stuffed with cheese. The patates and papoutsakia stood out from the vegetable section. The potatoes were breaded with Panko and lightly fried to perfection, and had a great lemon flavor. The eggplant was charred with a delicious bechamel sauce. From the seafood section, the lavraki (sea bass crudo) and tsipoura were delicious. The crudo was fresh, flavorful, and cut thinly. The tsipoura was a whole fish cooked simply on the grill with fresh vegetables on the side. They were cooked simply to emphasize the natural flavors of the seafood. From the meats, the souvla chicken and giouvetsi (lamb osso bucco) were great. The souvla chicken may have been some of the best souvla chicken I've ever had. It was perfectly charred, juicy, and had just a hint of lemon. The lamb osso bucco was tender and flavored really well with some orzo underneath to soak up all the juices from the meat. It was a great meal and priced reasonably for the massive amount of food we got. Definitely would've been a 5/5 if not for the seating. read more

This place is amazing. Inventive and modern. My favorites were the cabbage and the eggplant.

Fantastic ambience, great food. Star of the night was the orange wine we got, Glinavos Paleokerisio, which tastes almost like kombucha, but better. I bought a bottle to go while we were there, and then I went to Bauer wine and bought a case of it. read more

The bread is unreal! Music is also great. Service wasn't the best but once she realized I was spending decent money it picked up.

Went out for the first time in Covid for our anniversary dinner. It is a perfect place for a date night with a beautiful Ambience. We felt safe with big plexi glases in between the tables. Food was delicious especially the lamb and orzo dish and Bourdeto. Their menu has variety of dishes for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. They made our night perfect by serving complementary Champagne and a dessert ( the Orange cake) . Do not miss it!! It was a perfect night. Will come back again to try other dishes for sure. read more

Incredible. We got the Noumboulo, Htipiti, TRAHANO KROKETES, GIOUVETSI, and PORTOKALOPITA. Would recomend all. Smaller dishes so I recommend sharing about four between two people. Incredible service and a great music selection. read more

Krasi's doing some tasty food. We ordered from them this weekend, and the standouts for us were the meats: their souvla (meat skewers) were perfectly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside, with the right amount of fat to meat ratio, and their loukaniko charcuterie was flavorful and well-balanced, both of which went very well with the tiropita (bread rolls filled with halloumi topped with whipped butter). We were also a fan of the gigantes beans, although they were a bit more toothsome than we're used to (maybe that's more traditional?). Their potato dish was unexpected, panko-crusted deep fried wedges with a mustardy dipping sauce, and they were tasty for what they were (although I actually did miss the more standard lemony roasted potatoes, which helps to cut through the richness of the other food and is something I think our meat-heavy meal would have benefited from). And their Greek pasta with pork and pistachios was good, but very creamy and rich which made it hard to eat more than just a few bites. Overall, a solid meal of approachable but upscale Greek cuisine. Would love to try their seafood at some point- was concerned it wouldn't travel well and would be best eaten fresh on-site (something to look forward to post-vaccine!), so we stuck to items that would be OK in transit. read more

So good. The best restaurant in Boston hands down. I have been there twice and everything on the menu has been phenomenal. Finally a restaurant in Boston with food that is worth the price read more

Chris was incredible, very welcoming, food was 10/10, would definitely be back. Recommend the marathokeftedes and the cheese bread

Hands down best restaurant in the Back Bay!! Couldn't ask for better food or staff! I have literally tried everything on the menu and never disappointed. read more

Just ... wow. This place has earned a spot in my top 10 restaurants list. We came here after having to leave another restaurant across the block due to terrible service. It was late, we were hungry, Krasi made it all worth it. Also very gluten-friendly, they have a menu dedicated to what a gluten-free guest should get. We sat at the bar, highly recommend that so you can watch the team prepare dishes. The music was great, the atmosphere is so pretty. Great wine list, lots of natural wines which is a super plus. Jimmy was phenomenal. Thank you from Miami!!! read more

Allie is the best- she's so kind, professional, and an all around great bartender. She picks and recommends the perfect wines- my boyfriend and I discovered our favorite orange wine and actually bought a case the last time we were in the restaurant. Service is impeccable and we look forward to sitting at the bar with Allie every time we are in the area. Chris the GM is amazing as well! Krasi is a must try. read more

The KrisI crew was great and respected all Covid protocols. Restaurant was clean, sleek, and food was fantastic. Dimitri was great, very professional and personable and made the experience even better. Definitely coming back A+ read more

Wonderful ambiance. Cool vibe. Open kitchen concept. Great wines to pair with small tapas styled dishes. Highly recommend.

Krasi is a very cool and modern restaurant specializing in Greek fare. I heard good things so I've been wanting to try it out. I came on a Friday night. The place was at full capacity. Luckily we had reservations. Our server was great! Very knowledgable and helped us pick our dishes for the night and the wine. Their wine selection was huge! Definitely a lot of Greek wines to pick from. Our server was awesome and actually let us sample a few styles. We ordered the chicken skins, uni dish, grilled sea bream, pork belly pasta, and the lamb. Out of all the dishes, the pork belly pasta was pretty awesome. The rest of the food we felt was pretty salty. I highly recommend getting the orange cake for dessert. That cake would be worth getting everytime. If they make a birthday sized one, I'd buy it for everyone's birthday. Unfortunately we were also rushed at the end due to the 90 min policy. Overall, we thought the food was A-Okay! Definitely a must try if you're wanting to try Greek food. read more

Had dinner at the bar for our anniversary. Alexandra, our bartender, went above and beyond, recommending wine and food to make the evening special. Standouts were the artichokes and the orange cake. Also, delicious orange wine and ouzo. Food was great and service was excellent! read more

On a cold crisp fall Sunday we dined here on the patio and loved every meal we ordered! I can't stop having more Mediterranean food and maybe I am biased :) but I can tell the food was delicious!! We very much appreciated the list of ouzos to choose from and what we tried was tasty. We will definitely be back. read more

I have been mulling over how to express my sheer delight in regards to the dinner I had at Krasi last night. Myself and a group of 6 others came to Krasi to celebrate my 29th birthday, and we were blown away by the quality and attention the staff put into every aspect of our meal. 5/7 of us have been in the service industry for 10+ years, myself included, so we've made it a goal to seek out some of the best places in Boston and beyond. Truly, Krasi has moved into the top 3 restaurants for me hands down. We chose to do the feast of the gods, an option that includes everything on the menu excluding the charcuterie and cheese (though we added a few cheeses for good measure- but my gods the feast is truly a feast). 4 bottles of wine and three courses later, we had to be wheeled out in a state of euphoria. Our server Alex was phenomenal, as were the back waiters and support staff. The made us all feel attended too and special without ever being overbearing, and their attention to detail was artful. Alex came through with two amazing orange wine recommendations, and sorted through our jumbled requests for a perfect light red. I can not sing my praises enough- I will be coming back again and again because what you all do here is inspiring. From the decor and table-wear (which is BEAUTIFUL) to the desserts and the espresso- I can not recommend Krasi enough. Do yourself a favor and reserve your next night out here thank you for a phenomenal birthday. read more

Krasi - The whole grouper was a hi-light- honestly wish I took photos of everything but we dug into everything it so quickly! - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Went on a Saturday for brunch because I always go to Select Oyster next door but have never been to Krasi. We ordered 3 different plates of food to try and I actually liked them all, especially the Chicken Souvla, which was grilled to perfection and very juicy. We also got the $20 carafes of wine, which complemented the food nicely. The only thing that I took off couple stars was because of the sitting and service. I made reservation for 3 people but was placed at a table that would better fit for 2 people. With food and drinks, we could easily knock over glasses if we were not careful. And our server was probably having a subpar day so the overall experience was just ok. read more
