"Tarpon Springs is an interesting place to visit. There 's an odd mix of tourists, locals, and out-of-towners that keeps the area feeling like a tourist trap, but still maintains a certain local charm. Being a settlement of the Greeks back in the day for sponge diving, there is certainly no shortage of Greek themed food establishments. Yeah, some famous named TV chef endorses this one restaurant, and some slightly famous food video blogger raves about another, blah blah. But there is a nice, slightly off the path gem called Costa 's right there in the center of town. First, the service. perfect every time. Nice, friendly, and prompt. Second, the prices are very reasonable. Third, the food is quite simply the best Greek/Mediterranean cuisine on the planet. Portions are more than sufficient to satisfy the largest appetites. Always start with the Saganaki (flaming cheese). We 've had so many wonderful dishes here. The Mousaka will blow your mind! The lamb shank can almost feed two. The Souvlaki (chicken or pork) is so juicy and tender and comes with a ton of garnishes. Their Greek salad is a work of art and comes with a dressing that nears a religious experience. Let 's talk Gyro meat for a second. There are so many variations and recipes for a good Gyro. But, Costa 's has the absolute best Gyro meat on the planet. The seasonings aren 't over bearing and the meat is always glistening with juices and so very tender. When in Tarpon Springs, get away from the dolphin cruise barkers and redundant tourist gift shops for a bit and sit your butt down at Costa 's for grub. You will NOT leave hungry, guaranteed. I would recommend doing a dolphin cruise, BEFORE eating though. There are no public facilities on Anclote Island and the accommodations on the dolphin cruises would be less than desirable for any such... needs ."

"Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: $1–10 Recommended Dishes: Chopped Greek Salad, Italian I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and had a fantastic experience. With a budget-friendly price range of just $1 to $10 per person, it offers great value for money. I highly recommend trying the Chopped Greek Salad; it was fresh and flavorful, perfectly balanced with all the classic ingredients. Additionally, the Italian dishes stand out, showcasing delicious flavors that will satisfy any palate. Overall, this place is a great choice for an enjoyable and affordable meal."

"The calamari. Oh. My. Goodness. I would leave it at that but there's so much more to love about this place. The ingredients are nothing short of the restaurant's name Fresh. My little one ordered pizza and they brought the dough out and allowed her toput the sauce and cheese on herself. She loved it so much, we have been eating imaginary pizzas she makes since then. Thefamily friendly environment and staff really topped off our experience, and the cheesecake helped with that too. I look forwardto Giovannis becoming a staple and favorite for me and so many others."

"Had a HORRIBLE experience here tonight. Disappointing would be understatement. Waited over an hour for our food and when it was still not at the table asked the waitress (actually had to find another waiter to find her) to just go ahead and cancel it as we had plans we had to go to. She showed up 5 minutes later and said the food was ready now. I said no thank you we really do have plans we have to get to now. Please bring the check. As we have now been at the table for over and hour and have had 1 beer and 1 wine and the stale bread they brought to the table. She comes back with my wine I ordered almost 30 minutes ago and I said AGAIN no we really need the check to leave. She then walks inside for ANOTHER at least 5 minutes and comes out takes another tables order, goes back in to place it, and comes back and says it 'll be another minute for the manager to take it off the bill. The same waiter I flagged to find her earlier comes back to the table and asks what 's up, because we are just about to walk out and I feel it was clear on our faces, and when I say I just need my bill to him magically it shows up. So I can leave un-fed over an hour and half in to this dinner . Finally got our $16 bill (for only 2 drinks that were subpar) and left. Would have LOVED to speak to the manager who comped our meal we didn 't eat. What a shame to charge so much for entrees and drinks and not deliver on service from the basic wait staff all the way up to management. Will never try here again and will highly discourage anyone I care about from going too."

"My wife ordered the Escargot appetizer, and despite my initial hesitation, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. The mushrooms and cream sauce complemented the escargot beautifully. While the main courses seemed a bit pricey, the portion sizes made them worth it. I had the osso bucco with grits, and the meat was cooked to perfection and impeccably seasoned—it practically fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. My only minor complaint was that the carrots were a tad salty, but that didn't matter much given how fantastic the meat was. My wife opted for the duck served with potatoes and corn. Her duck was also cooked perfectly—super tender with crispy, well-seasoned skin, and paired with a blackberry coulis that added just the right touch of sweetness to the rich duck. Her side dishes were delightful as well. The menu features so many other intriguing dishes that we're eager to try, and we can't wait to return!"
