The stunning restaurant, which is first of its kind in Philadelphia, will transport guests to the Greek Islands with an atmosphere reminiscent of an inviting Mediterranean home & a menu of authentic specialties, simply prepared, that represent the best of Greek cuisine. The restaurant specializes in whole grilled fish which are flown in from the Greek Islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia, & Portugal. Guests are able to choose from Estia’s expansive display & watch chefs cook their fish to perfection over a charcoal grill in the sparkling open kitchen.
With a commitment to the freshest and best quality ingredients, Black Olive offers a dining experience based on the simplicity and sincerity of the Mediterranean diet. The restaurant's airy, elegant setting is reminiscent of the true Greek cuisine. Founder and chef Penny Delimaris has crafted the menu to reflect a meal you would eat if you were to stumble upon a Greek tavern in the country side. Our specialty is for sure our hand made Pites and Desserts. Black Olive Greek Cuisine is a place offering traditional Greek food in a Family Friendly Atmosphere. The newly renovated dining room and the updated menu, will give you a truly delicious Greek Cuisine experience.
