This is my new favourite Greek restaurant. They have pretty much everything on their menu. Souvlaki (chicken, lamb and pork), Gyro, Lamb chops, Roasted Lamb and Rack of Lamb. I had the rack of lamb and it was amazing. Falling off the bone, juicy and full of flavour. It wasn't too strong of a lamb taste, which is a good thing. The meal came with fresh garlic bread for free. Yes for free lol. It wasn't the cheap stuff either. The Greek salad was one of the best I've had. Loaded with tons of veggies, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, and olives. I wasn't a big fan of the sides that the meal came with. Steamed veggies which tasted very plain. Also in the menu it mentioned the meal came with roasted potatoes Greek style, but they tasted more like plain boiled ones. The service is pretty good and prices were reasonable. They also have a delivery service and offer take out. Can't believe this place has been around for 15+ years and I just found out about it now. Much better than most places in Greek town.

We had dinner at Ithaca several years ago, and it was time for another visit. The restaurant was much less than half full. On a Saturday evening I thought it would have been busier. We were promptly seated at nice table for two, beside the front window.
We ordered our drinks with one server, and they were quickly brought by another server. They obviously use the team serving approach, which we have observed at other Greek restaurants. We ordered our meals, and while we waited, a couple of flaming cheese dishes were lit at other tables, with a resounding “OPA!”.
SWMBO picked the Chicken Souvlaki and mine dish was the Moussaka (which the waiter said was one of his favourites). While the main courses were being prepared, they brought our Garlic Bread and our Greek Salads. The bread and salads were fresh. The salad was just the right size as a starter.
SWMBO’ chicken had nice grill marks, and was tender and juicy, with just a little bit of seasoning. She said that her roasted potatoes were better than others she has had.
My moussaka was one of the better ones that I have had. The béchamel was creamy, but not runny, and it had some flavour. The ground beef and eggplant layers were also quite tasty. The whole thing was good.
I like the team approach. Service was very good.
I come from an area of Canada that has a large Greek community, and this some really amazing Greek cuisine. I have to say that Ithaca truly matches up well with any of these that I grew up with. They have the friendly service, the extreme generosity of portions (you should never leave a real Greek restarant without leftovers), and such a great authentic taste that is often lost to me here in Ontario. Hats off to to the owner who shares my name. He's gotten it right. Best Greek place I have been to in the twelve years I have been in Ontario. I will go back, and recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Greek food.
Best Greek food west of athens. We eat here and order for pickup all the time. You simply can't do better. Way better than anything on the dan forth. Very reasonable prices.
