Among the ruins of ancient Greece were items such as clay pots that revealed many clues to daily Hellenic life. PYLOS (pronounced Pee-‘los) – the root word that includes things of clay – celebrates these prosaic artifacts we now recognize as great art.

Proprietor, Christos Valtzoglou

Christos, a native of Athens, Greece, has enjoyed great success managing trendy New York restaurants, including a three-star restaurant, since the 70s.

At PYLOS, Christos brings the time-honored traditional foods and wines of Greece into the modern era in a contemporary setting. His goal has been to launch a restaurant that respects the traditions, styles and breadth of the foods of his native country, in a comfortable atmosphere and at reasonable prices – this he accomplishes with PYLOS.

“We maintain the wonderful taste of Greek dishes, at affordable prices, and bring them to the level of what people prefer today – wholesome, lighter fare and variety.” – Christos
