Greek Fine Dining

Since opening its doors in April 2018, TAVERNA has become a cherished gem in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. Situated on a quaint neighborhood corner, this charming restaurant invites you to embark on a delightful culinary journey through Greece.

Founded by two longtime friends, Thanasis Pashalidis and Hakan Bala, TAVERNA beautifully blends rustic origins with modern refinement. Their passion for authentic Greek cuisine shines through in every dish, crafted with both care and creativity.
