   From start to finish, our experience at Philia Restaurant in East Meadow was absolutely unforgettable! My friends and I (two couples) decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day here, and we were blown away by the incredible food, atmosphere, and top-notch service. The owners, Luis & Diego, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening special. We kicked off our meal by sharing an incredible variety of appetizers: Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Salad, Oysters, and Huge Shrimp Cocktails. Each dish was better than the last—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dinner, we shared the Lamb Chops, Steak, Sole, and Seafood Pasta, and it was all absolutely delicious. The Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked and tender, and the Seafood Pasta had a rich, flavorful sauce that was to die for. To finish the night off, we had the Cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal—smooth, creamy, and a perfect balance of sweetness. I can’t recommend Philia Restaurant enough! The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. We will definitely be back for another amazing dining experience. Luis & Diego truly make this place shine!

   Everything was absolutely delicious! My husband‘s lamb chops and my Bronzino were cooked perfectly. The white staff was attentive and very, very polite. 10 out of 10 experience! We will definitely be back.

   Delicious Greek dishes, including fresh seafood & meat dishes. The Bronzini was prepared perfectly grilled & filleted with a well paired butter & wine sauce with capers. The octopus appetizer was seasoned perfectly & tender. The linguini in the mixed seafood pasta dish was cooked al dente and not mushy. An elegant ambience & top service makes it a new favorite in the neighborhood!! Will definitely be back.
