I saw this location had some good seating to have 10 of us as a send off. The staff was incredibly friendly, and even offered extra chairs and help move tables if needed. What We Ordered: - German Potato Salad: My cousin ordered and really liked it. I'm not a fan of German potato salad, so I didn't enjoy the flavor. I'll stick to my potato salad. - Potato Salad: Pretty decent for a potato salad, but nothing standout for me. - Meatball Sub: My cousin and his son split this, and they said it was quite large. They wished it had more sauce, but still overall a decent meatball sub. - Caesar Salad + Chicken: I couldn't snap a photo before my cousin's girlfriend and his daughter tore into this. They seemed very pleased with the salad and at a glance, it looked pretty delicious. - Philly Cheesesteak: My dad said it was very good and ate the whole thing! - Roasted Veggie Wrap: My mom said it was nice, and veggies are refreshing on a hot summer day. It was wrapped well, and enjoyed the umami of the mushrooms and balsamic glaze. - Pastrami Reuben: I loved this sandwich! The pastrami was delicious, and I'm excited to have leftovers which is saying something. I'm not usually one to look forward to leftovers. - Turkey & Swiss Wrap: My auntie throughly enjoyed this, and said it was the perfect last meal in America before heading back to England. - Chef Salad: My auntie and I split this to have a bit of veg. Lovely salad with lots of ingredients that complimented each other well. - The American (Reuben-style): My cousin really enjoyed this sandwich and said it was quite large. Next time, she could easily split with me or her fiancée. - Cuban: My cousin's fiancée ordered this and said it's the best Cuban sandwich he's ever had! Quite high remarks. Honestly, I'm not sure I could pick a better place. Very friendly, quick service, and great eats. Definitely return to this location when in the area, and will recommend to family and friends.

Honestly, we've had better calamari and would prefer a marinara sauce versus what tasted like French fry sauce. The lasagna was delicious and the serving of such a size we happily brought some home. My partner ordered South Africa Dark chocolate and Reese's gelato whilst I ordered Madagascar vanilla and key lime gelato. Whilst Dolce Vita is a restaurant it felt and tasted as if we were eating at someone's home. The young staff were super attentive and very knowledgeable about all on offer. I highly recommend you give Dolce Vita a go!

I got #13 Italian Mikes Way (which has the oil and vinegar) and it automatically gets soggy quick because of the juices!

Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable experience at The Greek Spot, located at 2824 N Power Rd Suite 102, Mesa, AZ 85215, in the Bashas Shopping Center at McDowell & Power! This family-owned gem is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, mouth-watering Greek cuisine made with love and tradition. The Greek Spot is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite, and it's easy to see why! Under the warm and dedicated leadership of Joe, the owner, and his incredibly kind niece Emily, The Greek Spot delivers an exceptional dining experience that combines outstanding food with heartfelt hospitality. Joe's passion for sharing his family's recipes shines through in every dish, while Emily's welcoming smile and attentive service make every visit feel like coming home. Together, they've created a cozy, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the bold, fresh flavors on the menu. The Gyro Pita is a standout--generously stuffed with tender, perfectly seasoned gyro meat, fresh onions, tomatoes, and their house-made tzatziki sauce, which bursts with flavor and ties the dish together beautifully. The pitas are soft, fresh, and the perfect vessel for this hearty, satisfying sandwich. Pair it with their Greek Fries, crispy and golden, for a side that's impossible to resist. And for dessert? The Baklava is pure bliss--sweet, flaky, and dripping with honey, it's the ideal way to cap off your meal. This new Greek restaurant is a true treasure in Mesa, offering incredible value and portions that leave you satisfied. The Greek Spot's commitment to quality, from their fresh ingredients to their warm service, makes it a standout in the Basha's Shopping Center. Joe and Emily pour their hearts into this family business, and it shows in every bite and every interaction. I'm thrilled to have this gem in our neighborhood and can't wait to return for more of their delicious offerings! Wishing Joe, Emily, and the entire Greek Spot team all the success they deserve--keep shining, and Mesa will keep coming back! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a meal that's as heartwarming as it is delicious. Five stars all the way! read more

First off the food is amazing. I went in and ordered to-go. Small seating area and a few tables outside. Friendly service and the food was quick. Hot and fresh. I could smell it in the car so I had to try it. I got the Gyro and fries plus a side Greek salad. The gyro is so amazing. Tender, and lots of toppings. Great portions. Tzatziki sauce was soo good. I love crispy hot fries and they were salty and delicious. It's nice to have a small local spot that is cheaper than fast food these days. Will definitely be back. A must try. read more

The restaurant gives a fine dining feel that welcomes the casual. Bartender mixed my Negroni up nicely. I settled on the Rigatoni Salciccia E Ricotta. My meal came up quick and was steaming hot. The rigatoni was a perfect al dente, and the house-made sausage was plentiful and flavorful. The herb rigatoni was so good, I had to ask for an extra side of it. My bill was $51 after tax with a full entree and two craft cocktails. I'll definitely be back any time I'm in town.

We arrived around 6:30pm and immediately sat. The dining room was very quiet with a total of 3 other tables that dined while we were there for just over an hour. Our server was very friendly, and apologetic when we ordered two different things they ran out of. What We Ordered: - Negroni: My boyfriend said this wasn't very good and could only taste Campari. - Dirty Vodka Martini (Grey Goose): One of my usual drinks, but this was made with citrus notes which is very puzzling as a dirty vodka martini should have olive brine, not citrus. Olives and citrus do not belong together, but I drank it as I hate food waste. - Aperol Betty: I switched to this as it was listed as one of their cocktail specials, so hopefully it would be better than the last? Sadly, this was very bitter even for grapefruit. Again, I drank it as to avoid waste. - Short Rib ($42): My dish as it sounded delicious with a red wine reduction as I had one last month that was divine. The dish came out, and it appears it was made with a Marsala type sauce instead. Additionally, the short rib was very tough and more like a pot roast. It did have a decent flavor, but at a price point of $42 you'd expect more. And not served with a random bone. That truly was puzzling on why it was served like that. - Risotto al Tartufo e Gamberi ($38): This was my boyfriend's dish, which I almost ordered so he did. Sadly, it lacked both flavor and consistency. My boyfriend described it as tasting like grits that sat too long that coagulated. It also lacked any depth of flavor, and very one note. Both of us were also puzzled that a largely starch-based dish (risotto) was served with a side of toast. Lastly, there were only 5 shrimp for a dish that cost nearly $40. Overall, at the price point we paid, this was not worth it. The desserts looked more promising in the cafe, and reading some of the other reviews, perhaps that is what we should have stuck to.

Visiting, from California, some dear friends in Mesa, we ventured through the triple-digit heat for about 20 minutes to get there. Even they as locals had never heard of the place, hidden amidst miles of chain stores and strip malls. But it wasn't long before we were all singing its praises and vowing to return. Across the board, every dish was peak: ultra-creamy and subtly garlicky hummus; silken, appropriately smoky baba ghannouj; perfectly crisp, tender, not-doughy-inside falafel; and herby tabbouli, light (but not vanishingly so) on the bulgur in the Levantine style. These basics always make or break such a restaurant, and they were all outstanding. Add to this seldom-seen delights like foul medamas (fava-bean soup), four variants of ghallabah (grilled meats or seafood), chack-chouka/shakshuka (eggs poached in tomatoes and onions), and two types of pita baked on premises and served from the oven--all in generous portions and at reasonable prices--and it's worth the drive wherever you are in Phoenix and environs. I would eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I lived here. I will absolutely return on my next visit.

She said she'd bring out the pee-packaged pita bread and the fresh bread that we paid extra for. Then she never brought out the pee-packaged stuff like she said she was going to. The bread was ok, but they only gave us 3 pieces of pita bread which were about the size of a sand dollar. This was not enough bread for 2 people with 3 dips. Also, the fries were the kind of fries you get when it looks like they haven't cleaned the grease in a while. The babaganoush was really good. But everything else was pretty mediocre. I've been here 3 or 4 times and everytime I feel as though the service is bad and the food is overpriced. It's really sad, but I want to like this place, but I can't. Also, they have a rewards program but my waitress didn't try to get me to sign up. I asked when I saw it. It's a pet peeve of mine. But- I guess she doesn't really care or offer it because she probably doesn't think people will come back. My friend who joined me tonight is Muslim and she needed a place to pray, but this place didn't have one. I was surprised to learn that tonight as well. Spend your money elsewhere.
