In a devastating accident, I lost my food truck, White Fox Taverna, my livelihood and family's main income source. This unexpected event has left us in a financial crisis. White Fox Taverna was more than a job, it was my dream. Your generous contribution to this GoFundMe campaign will help us rebuild. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Please consider donating and sharing. Your kindness during this difficult time means the world to us. Thank you for being our beacon of hope. Together, we can overcome this obstacle.

To all of our beloved friends and guests, it’s with great sadness that we announce Emilitsa has closed the doors for the final time.

We are so appreciative of all your love and support over the last 15 years. What began as a passion project to serve our favorite Greek dishes quickly grew into a place that welcomed countless guests over the years. Many of whom arrived as strangers and left as friends. 💙 🤍

We are incredibly humbled that so many embraced Emilitsa and that we were able to succeed as long as we had.

If you need us, we’ll be fishing under the pines.

With love, your Emilitsa family.

Local, organic tomatoes (from our friends over at Snell Family Farm), cucumber, onion, garlic and cheese tossed in a homemade white balsamic vinaigrette. (Don’t worry, we also serve some freshly toasted bread so you can soak up all the leftover dressing 😍)

In Greek cuisine, “Saganaki” (σαγανάκι) refers to any dish that’s prepared in small, heavy bottomed frying pan - the most common being an appetizer of fried cheese.

Here at Emilitsa, we serve up the most delicious cheese saganaki you’ll ever have. We start with fresh, sheep’s milk kefalograviera cheese, dredge it in flour, and pan fry it to golden brown goodness!

Then we top it with our housemade balsamic-peppered Greek figs.

A perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Indulge in layers of flakey phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweet honey syrup, served with a scoop of homemade whipped cream. What’s not to love?!

Our two reds by the glass are Amethystos Rouge and Naoussa. 🍷

Amethystos Rouge - a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Agiorgitiko - is a well structured red wine with aromas of cherry jam, spices, and slight oakiness. It pairs perfectly with our loukaniko and fassolakia meh patates.

Naoussa - made with Xinomavro grapes - is a deep colored red wine with aromas of cedar, cinnamon, and ripe red fruit. Well-balanced with soft tannins, it offers layers of cocoa, berry, and vanilla. It pairs perfectly with our moussaka and paithakia galaktos tis skaras.

Lamb chops are being prepped for a guest-favorite entree: our paithakia galaktos tis skaras.

First, the Australian grass-fed lamb chops are marinated in our homemade recipe. Then, they’re grilled to perfection and served alongside sautéed spinach and feta-parsnip potato mash.

If you’re looking for a great way to complete your meal, this dish pairs perfectly with a glass of Boutari Naoussa. 🍷
