"Boston’s had major growth in its Greek food scene over the last decade, including openings like Kava Neo-Taverna, which debuted in 2016. The restaurant has built a cult following in the South End with dishes like fried zucchini chips, keftedes, and oktapodi. In-the-know diners will save room for the honey-drizzled Greek yogurt dessert at this date-night spot. Know before you go: The restaurant releases reservations online one day in advance at 10 a.m., and tables go fast. You’ll need to set an alarm to snag a coveted Friday or Saturday night table." - Erika Adams
