Full Review: Z-Pita - Port Jefferson/ Overall Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars

Mrs. Guido Says: ***1/2

Food: falafel wrap, greek salad, eggplant parmigiana over penne. Falafel was your standard falafel, not particularly memorable, but still very well prepared. Tzaziki sauce was good without being too spicy. Greek salad was standard, feta wasn't too strong, and vinaigrette was more oil than vinegar. Eggplant parm over penne was a huge portion, and consequently got 3 meals out of it. The menu offers a wide variety of choices, from greek to Italian to American. Given the port jeff locale, it is a busy atmosphere, but you can tell they're trying to please everyone rather than just sticking to greek cuisine. In both visits together, we were given the same table. It's nice to have your "own table" at a restaurant.

Mr. Guido Says: *** 1/2

Food: Pastitsio, Chicken Souvlaki, Avgolemono soup. Avgolemono soup was served in a huge bowl, and was very lemony and frothy. Pastitsio was a massive serving- was good, but a little heavy on the bechemel sauce. Chicken souvlaki was also a massive serving, and was pretty good, though about average compared to others I've had. Restaurant is very very busy, and also serves a variety of american and italian dishes, instead of serving an extensive list of purely greek food. A competent restaurant overall, although not the best choice on the island (see our other reviews) if you're looking for authentic greek food.
