Politia M.

We stopped at Greenwich for a short visit and thoroughly enjoyed Mediterraneo. The pasta was fresh and silky and with such depth of flavors of fresh mozzarella, eggplant and fresh tomatoes. The burger was one of the best my kids had and the French fries were fresh and perfectly seasoned.

Well done parmesan crusted halibut, sauce on the side for dipping.
Jessica K.

Have been to this place several times and every time food is delicious. The only problem is that the parmesan crusted halibut is so good, I never get anything else! I can't get this anywhere near me, so whenever I make the trip to CT, halibut it is. So white, tender, flavorful. Place is relatively small in size, but they're able to fit quite a few people, tables by the open windows are best on nice days.

I just got a drink and some appetizers here. Food was very delicious. Solid service and good vibe. I like the outdoor patio a lot.

Savory carrots and yogurt
Karen S.

Super busy vibe for a Friday night! Filled with locals with laughs and hugs! Great energy! The service was attentive and helped with the menu! The carrot and yogurt appetizer is savory and delicous spaghetti and meatball entrée is delicious. The chicken is very tender and delicious. Go to meal .The meatballs are so good. The halibut was also so so so yummy and these tiny little bites so perfect. I strongly suggest to get that I feel like fish I'll be back.!

I've been here a few times now and each time the experience has been solid. I usually make a reservation on Resy to ensure that I'm seated promptly. I usually sit inside but once sat outside and it was nice but the service was a little slower. I had the virgin vanilla pineapple daiquiri and it was the perfect level of sweet. And bonus because it was a virgin. For an appetizer I had the lamb hummus which came with pita. The lamb was the perfect level of tenderness and the hummus was yummy. For dinner I had the lamb kebab and the kofte, with rice and tzatziki. The kebab was cooked a little over medium and the kofte was solid. I was so full I skipped dessert. Service was good and attentive. The biggest downfall is the lack of parking on Greenwich ave.

Halibut, signature dish
Andrew C.

I always love visiting Greenwich, CT during the early Spring. Walking Greenwich Avenue and window shopping is a common activity when visiting. But what we enjoy the most is dining at one of the popular restaurants on the Avenue that is new to us. We chose Mediterraneo because of the positive reviews we had read and the corner location that provides indoor and outdoor dining. The restaurant's recent renovation provided an upscale ambience with a Mediterranean flair. Inside the restaurant, one would find an elegant oak bar set aside with a comfortable cozy appealing dining room that expresses a contemporary Mediterranean premise. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our server made entrée recommendations that we thankfully chose. The Halibut was excellent along with the grilled Cauliflower appetizer. But the lemon meringue pie desert was superb. Overall, our dining experience was exceptional.

Fig pizza

Our favorite in Connecticut. Place is amazing, top notch service and decor as well. We love Nick the Maitre D, who is always so welcoming and kind. The must dish is the Amish Chicken, it is cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Pair it with a glass of their Antinori Supertuscan

Definitely appreciate the staff recommendations on portion sizes, plates to share for the table, and wine pairings. We enjoyed a little bit of everything: dips/salads, traditional grilled meats, roasted vegetables. It's hard to imagine not being able to find something for any type of diet/preference. Would come back again for sure, as they have an extensive list of options to try. Great spot within walking distance of downtown Stamford hotels.

Meanwhile some white diners came in, and they hurriedly ushered them smiling to a table. Didn't give us menus (but gave menus to all diners that came in after us) until I flagged someone down for them. I watched them give complimentary bread and sauce to every other table except ours. I had to interrupt one waiter to ask about it and he shrugged me off, not even stopping to look at me, and muttered he'd get it. He got us bread but not the sauce, I had to ask him if it comes with the bread he said no. Later I asked another diner if it was complimentary, he said yes. It's unbelievable, we spent more than 100$ here to be treated like beggars. I would suggest any POC stay away; we were made to feel incredibly unwelcome and uncomfortable. On the other hand, the food was barely mid. The veal was so tough it was like eating rubber. In the end we couldn't finish it because it just wasn't good. I am not even sure if perhaps on purpose they gave us expired food because afterwards my friend and I both got upset stomachs. If you must be in Stamford you should take your business elsewhere, perhaps dont support a racist establishment.

Must be under new ownership or at least new cooks in the kitchen, judging by the change in quality and taste of the food. The people in the kitchen seemed to be primarily Spanish-speaking. Ordered the chicken kebab wrap and schwafel. Chicken was very dry and drowned in sauce that tasted more like mayo than tahini. They were kind enough to make me a new one after seeing that I was picking at the wrap and the cook explained that chicken breast in the kebab is usually dry. Funny - it wasn't this dry the many times I've had it before. The kebab also lacked the flavor and spice that it had previously. The wrap itself was also thin, dry and unpleasant. They used to use a flour wrap which I think they changed to something akin to cardboard. The scwafel wrap was also very dry. The seating area is small but the workers are very nice and keep it relatively clean. Prices have crept up, as they have everywhere. Given the decline in taste and quality and increase in price, I cannot justify going back to Layla's. The end of an era. I wish they would bring the previous owners/or at least teach the new crew how to make a proper kebab.

Hospitality is a lot about how you treat your customers. Its the energy, the manners, the vibe, the…read morehuman connection. Sad to say, after being loyal customers, this place turned us off tonight permanently. I placed a large anniversary dinner order by phone, including tahdig ($12). During the call, I specifically asked if the rice came with tomato and onion and was told no it comes with the tahdig that I ordered. So yes it comes with the order. I was also asked whether I wanted the gheymeh on top or on the side of the tahdig. I chose on the side. When I got home, the order didn't match what was discussed: The tahdig wasn't traditional rice tahdig like me or my wife have had countless times. It was more like this brownish, sheet-like, crumble with a few flecks of rice on the crumble, but not crispy. Not Persian tahdig. The gheymeh was missing entirely, despite being discussed on the call. The tomato and onion that I was told were included were not there. The fesenjan had only a few pieces of chicken. The ghormeh sabzi was okay, but pretty underwhelming in flavor. I called politely to clarify about the missing tahdig (for next time) and was told someone would call me back. No one did. When I called again an hour later, the same person who took my original order responded in a dismissive and accusatory tone, unilaterally escalating her tone and voice immediately, almost angrily accusing me of daring to call, and told me that the tahdig does not come with gheymeh, and tomato and onion aren't included either. (This is the opposite of what I was told when ordering). She repeatedly interrupted me, talking over me, instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. We've been coming here since moving from Southern California a few years ago, whenever we felt homesick and wanted some Persian food. The food has always been....OK....nothing like Persian restaurants in Toronto or Southern California, but we continued ordering out of nostalgia and lack of other options. However, this experience today, incorrect information, missing items, no follow-up, and then, the way the situation was handled was our final turn off. Disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a special occasion. We won't be returning, nor will our visiting Persian family or friends.

Everything I tried was delicious and very fresh.

The recent expansion into the neighboring space really opened things up with plenty of seating without sacrificing energy. Noise level was balanced, lively but still easy to talk. Free parking lot with ample spaces makes it effortless. We started with a Horiatiki salad and their signature triangles of warm pita with Greek olives -- a simple touch they consistently get right. I ordered the Meraki Passion Platter, while my wife had the butterflied branzino with Patates Tiganites. The homemade round fries are addictive - thin fries with a crisp outside. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was polished and familiar; we've seen many of the same staff over the years, which says a lot. Dishes were cleared promptly and everything felt well-paced. Extremely clean throughout. This place continues to deliver. We highly recommended.
