I made reservations about 6 weeks ago for my friend’s birthday last night. Even with lots of open tables, we were sat at a table up against the wall outside the kitchen entrance. As if that should have told us us we were really going to feel welcome, the rate we were severed with each course coming out right on top of each other was the next sign. The next sign was that they urgently wanted to take away plates before we barely finished… in some cases we didn’t finish. The next sign was not being asked if we wanted more drinks when we were done with our first and only drinks. They did fill our water glasses and did ask if we wanted coffee. But we were so rushed and still trying to catch up when the bill came. They didn’t ask if we wanted anything else so we just paid it. When we didn’t leave apparently as quickly was the manager wanted us to, he stood there and glared at me with a cold staring look. When I tried finishing our conversation, he moved to a.different part of the restaurant and gave the same cold mean glare to my friend, who we were trying to celebrate her birthday. Needless to say, our fun night out was completely ruined by the rude rushed service and lack of hospitality especially by the manager!
I will never be going back and do not recommend anyone going here if you’re not already one of their favorite...

We really enjoyed the food and his impeccable service! ———— 10 Stars please! Thank you Naxos Greek restaurant for building your location in Itasca! The days of craving real authentic Greek food and the pain of driving 30+ miles to Greek town in Chicago are finally over for us!! The location has ample parking and is in a strip mall on Irving Park Rd. next to Dunkin’ Donuts. They have nice outdoor and indoor seating. The food is fresh, hot, made on the premise and is amazingly delicious! We tried 3 appetizers, 5 entrees and 2 deserts. Everything was served timely and there wasn’t any waiting even though the place was packed! Everything was so delicious. Whatever you order is going to be extra good here! Our waiter Spiros was impeccable the whole dinner. He was friendly, conversational and really added enjoyment to our family dinner. He provided super amazing service and I will definitely be asking to sit in his section whenever I go. I’d rate him 100 stars. No exaggeration- he’s the best at getting your table everything quickly, correct and...
Read moreNaxos in Itasca is a true gem for anyone who loves authentic Greek food. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like family. The restaurant has a beautiful, cozy Mediterranean vibe — elegant but comfortable. The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish tastes fresh and homemade, with flavors that transport you straight to Greece. The saganaki arrives flaming and perfectly crisp, the gyros are tender and full of flavor, and the lamb chops are some of the best I’ve ever had — juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Their Greek salad is vibrant and refreshing, and the tzatziki is creamy and full of that perfect garlicky kick. Don’t skip dessert — the baklava is flaky, rich, and just sweet enough. Pair it with a cup of Greek coffee and you’ll end the meal perfectly. Service is consistently excellent — friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what they serve. It’s clear that everyone here cares deeply about creating a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re coming for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a special night out, Naxos always delivers. It’s easily one of the best Greek restaurants in the Chicagoland area. Highly...
