Stella Dikos keeps trying to retire but each time she discovers that it just isn’t her thing. Now on her third restaurant, the latest Stella’s may have a 21st-century, rustic-modern feel, but the menu is filled with her deftly executed Greek classics. For the uninitiated, the wine list offers more than retsina, and ouza is meant to be accompanied by small bites. Across the street, you can pick up your favorite dishes to-go at Stella’s Grocery to feast on in your pajamas. And if you happen to make a trip to Charleston, South Carolina, you’ll feel right at home in Stella’s second location.
