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.

We have been to Pylos several times over the last several years. It is permanently on our list of restaurants to revisit when in New York. The food and the service have uniformly been excellent. I cannot say enough good things about them.

From the atmosphere, the quality of food and service, all amazing. It’s a fairly intimate space, so not a ton of people walking past your table or creating excess noise. Great place to enjoy delicious Greek dishes and easily connect with the people at your table.

Once again, Pylos exceeded our expectations. Great food and service. We opted for no entrees and just sides, and they didn't skip a beat in delivering top notch service throughout each dish. Food was tasty and warm.

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.
