The Santorini Family Restaurant in Cheviot, Ohio, near Cincinnati – is aptly named because customers are treated like family and they’ve responded by coming for decades for everything from gyros to pizzas and omelets and comfort food.

Add food reviewer Katrina Eresman to the list of fans after she sat down to eat there and was satisfied too, writing plaudits in City Beat about the food and atmosphere of the classic diner, with counter service.

“Nothing disappoints, but the standouts for me were the gyro meat and the spanakopita. Ordering classic Greek dishes in the comfort of a neighborhood diner is a pleasure not to be taken for granted,” she said

Her waitress, Dorie Hill, said it’s been owned and operated by her extended family since the 1970s, her parents George and Gina Denas taking it over 20 years ago. “I basically live here,” she said.

“Diners become third places to a lot of people – that place that feels like home but isn’t,” said the review. This is.
