Vasili's Greek Cuisine — Restaurant in Akron

This evening I had dinner for the first - but definitely not the last - time at Vasili's Greek Cuisine. It was really an enjoyable experience.

I started with a Mediterranean salad. It was fine, and certainly very generous, but not out of the ordinary. If you're planning on having a dinner entrée with a side as well, I don't recommend adding on one of their large salads. They're very large, and even I, with a Santa-sized appetite, ended up with more than I needed.

From there on, everything was glorious. The lemon-based chicken soup was creamy and really delicious, and very filling in its own right. Served nice and hot, I should add. Not tepid, as too often happens in some restaurants.

Then the masterpiece: pastitsio. Imagine the best lasagna you've ever had, and then add a few extra flavors, just to make it really intriguing. I ate it slowly, in part because the large salad and rich soup had already filled me, but mostly because I wanted to linger over and enjoy every bite. A real masterpiece.

Add to that friendly but not obtrusive service, and you have one very enjoyable dining experience.

Go! You'll...

Vasili's, a taste of the old country!

This is one of my favorite little greek restaurants in the Akron area. Prices here are very reasonable ($6-9 for an entree) and their menu has plenty of choices for even the most picky of eaters.

The restaurant is located down in the valley and is easily accessible for wheelchairs if necessary. Vasili's looks like your standard diner, but with a hint of Greece. The decor is not fancy, nor are the clients, so no need to put on your Sunday finest to feel at home here. The staff are friendly and Vasili makes everything from scratch and can usually be seen running around the kitchen, although sometimes he serves as well! He always is cheerful and friendly!

Their spanikopita is fantastic, but their home made lentil soup is the best around....I could eat this stuff every day! I love to get their greek chicken salad which has a TON of thinly sliced and well seasoned chicken on it! it doesn't look like a lot on the plate, but you will definitely be full when you leave Vasili's!

Oh! and don't forget to save room for desert! their Baklava...

This place is a diamond in the rough! You pull into the parking lot and you see a restaurant that looks like a small dinner that says Vasili's Greek restaurant! You walk in a the place looks like your tipical American restaurant,then you see this redheaded Guy in back cooking,ok I'm still looking for this Greek restaurant 😂 so we sit down and the menu has Greek food on it!
