"Kava Neo-Taverna is one of Boston's hottest restaurants and having now dined there, I totally get why.The atmosphere, the extensive menu options, and the quality of the food and service made for a memorable dinner experience that I cannot recommend enough...assuming you can get a reservation. Even as we left at nearly 11PM on a Saturday, they were still slammed, both inside and on their patio.We split a variety of appetizers and each was just as good as the next. We kicked things off with Tirokafteri $8), a spicy feta dip, and it was superb. It was creamy and had the right level of spice. We wish they had served it with pita instead of rather average-at-best slices of bread but we still enjoyed the dip itself.Then came feta psiti $14) which is a filo pastry with feta inside, sprinkled with a few sesame seeds and drizzled with honey was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It was scrumptious and I cannot wait to order some again, next time, and I won't be sharing!The Gigantes $13) were giant Lima beans baked with some tomatoes and garlic and were both creamy, and tasty.The Kolokithakia $19) was a brilliant and stunning) yet simple dish of fried zucchini sliced. Each was perfectly breaded and fried crisp. Light and oh so tasty, and paired with some Tzatziki. It's one of their best selling dishes for a reason and is awesome.Lastly to round out our meal we also split a Horiatiki salad $16)which was also tasty. The capers were a nice touch.Service was friendly, attentive and shared great recommendations. I cannot wait to return to what is now one of my favorite restaurants in town.Prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food and they also have an extensive wine list and food options that will accommodate even the pickiest of eaters. Just keep in mind that the inside, when busy, can be a little crammed and that you would do best to get a reservation."
