Takis Greek/Italian Restaurant

Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

Here is place we often forget about next to Lowe’s on 441 Takis.  I love their slogan “A little bit of Mediterranean here in Florida” and if you visit their website www.TakisGreekItalian.com you will understand why.  From their website:

Welcome to Takis!

Takis offers authentic Greek and Italian food in the heart of The Villages, Florida. Drawing our inspiration from the food we grew up on, we tempt the palate with innovative takes on classic dishes, using the freshest and finest ingredients. Takis is a full service restaurant that provides a comprehensive wine list, a full bar, delicious food, and friendly service.

The History of Takis:

The heat rising up from a flaming Saganaki! Steve Tsolakis, proprietor of Takis, has been feeling that warmth for most of his life. "Takis" is the first name of Mr. Takis Tsolakis, the patriarch of the Tsolakis family. The Tsolakis family has been serving excellent Greek and Italian cuisine in Lake and Sumter counties for over 30 years, first in Leesburg, and now at their location here in The Villages. Steve Tsolakis grew up working in his family's restaurant in Springfield Massachusetts and, by 1980 when his family moved to Florida to open a restaurant here, he was really old enough to be put to work. Working with family recipes and classic techniques, Steve has learned the art of making delicious food that accurately represents the cuisine of the countries it came from.

You know I had to look at the menu! Unfortunately their "full menu" link just says Menu Coming Soon. I'd have to check it out if I were in the area though - I do love both Greek and Italian food!
