"Various members of my family have eaten at Katarina's before, but today was my first time and let me tell you, it won't be my last. There were 6 of us and all went away feeling very sated. My aunt and one of my cousins had the chicken kabob platter. My aunt had fries with her's while my cousin had horta (boiled dandelions) - picture 1. My sister and my other cousin had grilled calamari (picture 2) with Greek oven potatoes and avgolemono soup. I had fried calamari (picture 3) French fries and a house salad (Greek). The teenager had a pork gyro with fries (picture 4). Four of us had Greek coffee which was smooth and sweet. I brought home a serving of Galaktoboureko (picture 5) for my spouse who wasted no time scarfing it down. Everyone was very happy with their food. A loud and boisterous crowd when we are not eating, it got downright quiet as we consumed our food. The service was great (thank you Nikki) and our hats off to the chef - Nick. If you haven't had the pleasure of eating at Katarina's, you're missing out. And like I said earlier, we'll be back."

"A return visit did not disappoint! Excellent array of traditional Greek specialties in a small but cozy restaurant with a large outdoor patio area on the way to the Tarpon Springs sponge docks. Had a delicious baked grouper Plaki dish with tomatoes, onions, olive oil & Greek seasonings and rice to sip up all that deliciousness and clean the plate. I sent back the empty plate to the chef to show him how much I liked it! Big tip is to order the perfectly cooked gyro meat as a side order which brings a large pile of gyro meat big enough to share around the table. Very good Greek salad and Without question order the Greek beer called FIX - crisp clean lager better than other better known Greek breweries Friendly attentive service."

"Great family restaurant! We come here whenever we are visiting family in Tarpon Springs over the last 5+ years. Our recent dinner during the holidays included a family of 16, consisting of 13 adults and 3 young kids. We ordered A LOT of FOOD! And it was REALLY GOOD - HOT & FRESH. Plus, the service is great every time we visit."
