General Info
The ultimate Artopolis creation is the “artopita,” a flaky pastry served with your choice of ingredients such as portabella mushrooms or Emmenthal cheese. Order a Capricciozo for $6.25. This is an unforgettable sandwich made of plum tomato, Kasseri cheese, fresh basil, garlic olive tapinade all on cheese foccacia. For $6.75 try a Kotosalata, a chicken salad with Mesclun greens, celery, pesto, and granny smith apple on a walnut baguette. A list of wood-fired pizzas is worth checking out for dinner. The Olympian with spiced lamb and garlic, and the Neptune with shrimp and pesto are delicious pizzas you may never have tasted before - at $12.00 and $13.00, they are filling.
Relax with a great cup of coffee and enjoy dessert. They are proud of their Papagallos, or Greek coffee for $2.00. Ice cream on top of ice frappe is $5.00 and breads and desserts are irresistible. Hazelnut saboyon, mango yogurt mousse, walnut tart, lemon tart, and baklava are all less than $5.00. This may be your new favorite place for dessert!
