PYLOS honors the breadth of traditional Greek cuisine by bringing fresh, wholesome cooking from all regions of Greece to an elegant, contemporary and comfortable setting in the East Village.

Our Name

Among the ruins of ancient Greece were items such as clay pots that revealed many clues to daily Hellenic life. PYLOS (pronounced Pee-'los) - the root word that includes things of clay - celebrates these prosaic artifacts we now recognize as great art.

*Pylos Restaurant now offers outdoor dining that is covered and heated.

Superb dining experience. I had a moussaka entree that was as good as any I've tasted before. As a party of four, all of us were very pleased with our meals. The presentation was terrific. The only con was the noise level. It was a Saturday night reservation at 6:30 pm so I would guess it would be tamer any other night of the week.

Staff was friendly, welcoming and most gracious. They made sure that the meal I ordered met my expectations, and that I was thoroughly satisfied with how it tasted. I enjoyed the moussaka I ordered very much. It is my goto comfort dish there, and never disappoints!
