Santorini Family Restaurant

Santorini's located at 3414 Harrison Avenue in Cheviot Ohio is a quaint mom and pop style restaurant that offers great food choices at very fair prices. The place is a bit dated but your willing to forgive all of that once you taste their delicious food. Food is brought to your table quickly just the way you like it with the hot food being served hot and ready to enjoy. They offer a friendly and accommodating staff that is eager to make sure you every request if filled to your satisfaction. They have one of the largest food selections especially for those looking for Greek style favorites that are hard to find as well as the typical American favorites. They offer a daily soup special with one of my favorites Potato soup Friday. The prices are more than fair with dinner for two under the $ 25.00 mark. Our only issue is that it is a bit chilly with management keeping the furnace limited to 65 degrees of which on those very cold days of 30 or below make it a bit uncomfortable for those trying to enjoy a meal. Overall, this is a great place to grab some delicious food in a friendly environment. We have not had a chance to grab breakfast but looking at the menu it will be on our list of food items to try. Check out the many photos below including their latest menu as of 01-2026. I can recommend this place for their delicious food at a great price.

My husband and I ate here for the first time last night while my car was getting tinted across the street. Food was great. Super cheap prices. Service was good. Good diner vibes. I tried my husbands ‘Greek fries’ and they were life changing. We will totally be going back.

Goodness gracious, what a gem! I was dragged here by majority vote (democracy at its finest, or tyranny of the majority), anyways I’m glad I lost that argument. Service? Phenomenal. Food? Out of this world. The omelets were solid, but the real MVPs were the Greek appetizers. I couldn’t pronounce half of them, and I definitely can’t remember their names… but trust me: JUST ORDER AN APPETIZER AND THANK ME LATER. The atmosphere? Odd, old, and beautiful—like your favorite eccentric uncle’s living room but with way better food. It had character, and I loved it. Our server Dori was AMAZING—like the Beyoncé of waitstaff. The coffee was good too, which is a miracle because usually coffee tastes like burnt sadness.

Really a perfect spot to get a filling meal anytime of day. The food is abundant with vibrant Greek flavors and the veggies were nice and fresh.

I just ate the most delicious Greek Pizza I’ve ever had! Service was excellent, very friendly staff and the food came out super fast. Dessert was exquisite, I can’t wait to come back again!

I stopped in this establishment to get a gyro not my first time, but this time the meat was dry and disgusting as if they gave me the meat that had been laying there it was not hot and fresh. The pita bread hadn’t been placed on the grill. I’m very disappointed in this place. Won’t be coming back again. Should’ve just gone to Zorbas which was my first thought but this place was on my to my destination.

Good food and Great Friendly Service. The Greek Pastries are to DIE for! Busy on Sundays until about one. They have a very diverse menu. Pizza, Cincinnati Style Chili, Goetta, Burgers and more. If you have a crew that agrees or cannot agree on what they want this is a great place to start. They now carry their Seasoning and Dressing.

Prices online are not nearly reflective of their prices in the restaurant. Staff said it's because they don't want to pay to change the online prices, but they apparently had no problem raising all their prices on the customers and profiting. Extremely misleading.

Ok for a very casual lunch, Burgers are good. Ham and cheese is good. Fries are good. Don't eat breakfast here. It was not good. Service is spotty...

Parking is bad.You have to go up to the corner for parking. They're food is okay , but I would not say they have dinners very disappointed about that

Stopped for lunch and was treated to brunch!! Family diner atmosphere with family style service and smiles. The gyro meat was EXCELLENT.

I've been here years ago and was in the area so I decided to stop in for lunch. I had a gyro which was good and the pita bread was crunchy. Not in a bad way but more than I am used to. The tzatziki sauce was good and the fries were good. The fries were on the larger side. Service was awesome and the decor is the typical Greek restaurant. I saw an article on the wall about their chili so I ordered a cheese coney to try it. I have to say the chili is good. I may have to do a 4 way next time.

Like it's namesake Island in the Aegean, Santorini Family Restaurant is painted with vibrant blue and bright white walls. We came for late lunch and it was an excellent decision. While we didn't coordinate it, we both followed a basic Greek, or at least Americanized Greek approach. My wife had a classic gyro omelet and I had a classic gyro. Both were served quickly and tasted delicious. The omelet came with toast and I ordered pickled beets as a side for my gyro. Toast is toast. The beets were reminiscent of family picnics when I was in my single digits. The food was great, the service was great, and the value was unreal. AND. We had dessert. Something we don't usually do at lunch. Baklava and pineapple upside-down cake. Yum. Bottom line, if you find yourself in Cheviot, Santorini Family Restaurant is a no brainer.

Excited to try Santorini for lunch before an appointment. Ordered a hamburger and my friend ordered tuna melt which she received quickly. My hamburger was served to me just as my friend finished her lunch. Ridiculous. Took it to go and had to eat it in the car on the way to the appt. Could not believe they charged me ($10.95!) for this poor service. Sometimes an apology is not enough. Will never eat there again. BTW hamburger nothing special.

Lots and lots of food options. Best diner all around. Breakfast all day if you like but all food is excellent. Portions are generous and servers are friendly.

Good food! Prepared fresh and reasonably priced! Love some Greek! The girls working are always very friendly and welcoming!

Santorini is one of my favorite spots to get breakfast in the area. Combining greek dishes with breakfast classics is a brilliant idea. I HIGHLY recommend the gyro omelet. I'm also a big fan of their hotcakes, which is saying something because I usually don't like pancakes. They are fluffy perfection. One thing I'm not personally a fan of are the home fries: they usually come under salted and aren't shredded like I would prefer. My boyfriend enjoys them though, so it might just be me! The staff is always super friendly, even during a rush. If you like greek food and diner vibes, this is the spot for you! Haven't had the privilege of trying their non-breakfast food, but I'm sure it's just as good.

Love Santorini. Food is great. Service is amazing. Especially like the Greek pizza. And Dori always takes great care of us

I love this place!! If I am ever considering fast food, I go here instead. The food is fresh and good, the prices are reasonable and I try something new nearly each time I visit. Chicken gyros, Greek pizza, and veggie omelet are some of my faves so far. But the coney and chocolate chip pancakes are nothing to sneeze at! This is a small, family establishment, so don't expect lightning-fast interactions. Like most of our families, some members are quicker than others. You can park at Kastoria Fur on Olivette, at metered parking out front, or on residential streets. Seriously good food here!!

Service & food was good, staff is friendly. B&G could use a bit more flavor, pancakes were good. Bar area looked cool!

Spanakopita was greasy and tasteless, with barely any filling. The gyros were small and although the meat was excellent, the tzatziki was runny and awful. Prices are good, but you get what you pay for.

They have a very good selection of Greek and American food. Their service is always great. They take good care of their customers. The murals on the walls make you feel like you're there. Good food, good prices, and great service. Who could ask for more! You won't be disappointed!

Have you ever tried to venture out to a new restaurant, something only frequented by people from the area? In a different city you simply can't eat at the chain restaurants. But there is a hesitation sometimes, at least for me. I'm from the Caribbean (Trinidad) and sometimes I never know if it's the right fit. Santorini Family Restaurant greeted me like I was a regular patron the moment the woman at the register made eye contact with me. And at the same time she was attending to two customers waiting to pay. I was off to a great start. Santorini hit a home run (even though I prefer soccer) from the get go! My omelette, which was loaded and tasty, was on par with the service and attentiveness they provided. And it wasn't just me. I sat at their diner bar and an older gentleman next to me in his cool yellow measuring tape patterned suspenders also received the royal attention. There's more.... I had just checked out of a very nice Hilton and thought breakfast was included. They said: "For the rate you got we cannot give you a complimentary breakfast." Although I was disappointed at the time, the 25 minute drive to find Santorini Family Restaurant was certainly worth it. So, if you are in the Cincinnati area and looking for hometown excellence, visit Santorini Family Restaurant.

Great food and service. They have been in Cheviot a long time and have made it through the Himalayan virus and Biden administration. Will return soon.

Best Greek restaurant out here in Cincinnati love the atmosphere of the service very caring, an the feta cheese here is so good.. also for breakfast

My buddy, Jimmy T, suggested this Westside Restaurant for our weekly creative "Meetup" we do every Saturday mornin. I'm happy to report that: Food: some of the best goetta I've had in a restaurant. Service: very attentive wait staff, with insider info like which parking meter out front was broken and that besides, it was too cold for the "meter maid" to be checking them! Ambiance: think small-town diner in Falmouth, KY or Northside's "Blue Jay."

I had been craving a gyro, and my first instinct was to drive a few miles away from my home to another Greek restaurant. Why would I do that when Santorini Restaurant is less than 5 minutes away? Because the last time I was there, they only accepted cash payments, and I didn't want to/ have time to stop at the bank. Imagine my delight when I found out that they now accept credit cards! Not only that, but they asked when did I want my order to be ready? I was able to conveniently satisfy my craving, and get to work on time!

Great service! Great food! Great prices. Going to try the pizza next time. Just a laid back place that has been there for a long time. Love the bar stools.

As a small Greek family restaurant offering a wide variety of fine meals & great friendly service, that's hard to beat.

The gyro omelette with feta cheese is my all time favorite omelette. Sooo yummy. Fast food and great service.

Great family owned business. Excellent value and service. Food is fantastic, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Awesome killer lunch at Santorini. Family friendly neighborhood dining at its best. This is a gem in Cheviot. I look forward to becoming more of a regular!!!

Excellent food, service and prices! I had Greek while my dad had breakfast. His omelet was huge and cheesy! My spanakopita, pita w/hummus and dolmas were tasty! Delicious choice!

Consistently good food! They work hard to provide top notch service. The menu is huge!

Despite the fact that it was rather skimpy on meat, the chicken gyro was tasty. However I'm not sure what cheese that was on the greek salad--it tasted like blue cheese! Definitely wasn't feta. BTW I've been to the original Santorini twice.

Awesome little local greasy spoon style family diner. Don't skip out on the Greek gyro omelette!

My son kept going here with his girlfriend and talked me into trying it.. gotta say... VERY GOOD!!

Great food for the little place it is. The staff is always awesome and the prices are beyond reasonable. I'm in walking distance and try to get down there as often as I can. Especially when I have friends staying from out of town.

I've been meaning to write about Santorini's excellent breakfast for a long time. The goetta/cheese omelette is delicious and both their waffles and pancakes are fantastic. They even have legit coffee which is often rare in small mom/pop restaurants. A lot of good food for more than fair prices. Yet another quality diner from one of the Westside's beloved Greek families.

I really enjoy small diners; and this modest, family-oriented restaurant was probably one of the best I've been to! The small details here surprised me. The apple juice was higher quality than average; the whipped topping tasted homemade, and the menu offers traditional and unique options. I enjoyed the gyro omelette and my husband enjoyed this giant sandwich (pictured) who's name I can't remember. The blueberries in the pancakes tasted like they'd just been picked. The restaurant was really family-friendly. I asked for some crackers to entertain my toddler until her food was ready, and the staff offered me coloring books and crayons along with our crackers. Santorini has delicious food, great service, and a nice quiet atmosphere.

The Gyro Omelet was different In a good way. Never expected the flavors would blend together so we'll but it did. The staff is always nice and make you feel like your at home. It has that classic restaurant feel and the classic Greek restaurant atmosphere.

Love this place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Old school , friendly, fast. Westside gem

Always great food and service with a small diner vibe. The gyro omelette is my go to for breakfast. The gyro is my lunch go to.

Love Santorini. It is definitely a quintessential diner with quintessential diner food done well. We typically order take out - deluxe burger, onion rings, gyro, and pancakes for the kids. Always ready in 20 minutes and delicious. Perfect when you don't feel like making 8 PB&J sandwiches (or are nursing a hangover). Pizza is also great! Highly recommend.

The best Greek food in Cincinnati. I crave the gyros and the prices are so good. I love this place and the seasoned fries are bomb. I go here on a regular basis. Baklava and gyro with seasoned fries= best meal ever

Santorini, Santorini, Santorini: How is it that I just recently discovered you? And to think that if my father had not mistaken you for an Italian restaurant, I would have likely missed you altogether. So I called my dad to ask him where he wanted to celebrate our belated birthday dinner, and as I was silently thinking "Not Bob Evans, please," he mentioned two places in Cheviot. One was an Italian joint called Santorini. I thought it sounded Greek, but I did not say anything because I was not about to try the other option. I looked Santorini up on Yelp and confirmed it was Greek. When we pulled up and saw the blue and white, I thought he would figure it out, but the gods were with me that day. Even after we were seated and looking at the menu, my dad still did not have a clue. And unbelievably, the daily special was spaghetti and meatballs, so I let him keep on believing it was Italian until late in the meal. When I finally told him, he did not believe me until the server confirmed it. He thought the meatballs were "a little spicy," but he enjoyed them nonetheless. Santorini serves the best hummus and pita I have ever had. I have had hummus and pita in restaurants in NYC that are rumored to be the best, but they do not come close to Santorini. The fact that the pita is served warm makes a tremendous difference. They also serve a solid gyro, although I prefer to taste the cucumber in tzatziki sauce. Desserts are all over the place. My lemon meringue pie was very good, but my dad's cobbler had been made with canned pie filling. No thanks! Our server was incredibly friendly, but she was a bit too slow at times. I am looking forward to returning to Santorini in the near future.

Great food at a reasonable price, the gyro pizza is the best I've ever had. Friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious mouth watering food every time, great and friendly workers never miss a beat great all day round

It doesn't look like much when you pass by there restaurant but.... there service is awesome and their friendly. There food is the best and there very clean. This restaurant is my favorite place to eat with my family!

Great value great food great service. Neighborhood place. Have only been for breakfast and never have been disappointed.

Great little diner in Cheviot. Everything I've had there has been as expected. Sandwiches and pizza have been great!

This place was amazing!!! It is small and easy to miss, but so worth looking for!! We were here for breakfast, but we want to come back for Greek food for lunch sometime soon!!! We sat at the bar because it was packed, but it was great! We got to talk to the waitresses who were all over the top helpful and accommodating! The coffee refills were great, and everyone enjoyed all of their food! We ordered goetta, because we were on the west side of Cincinnati... and it was amazing! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!!

I love this place. So nice to have a local joint where people recognize you, and always have a smile. Good food, in good company. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Discovered this place a few years ago and have been a fairly regular ever since. For a while we did a weekly Sunday breakfast with Dad, but that hasn't been for a little while. None the less, I get here at least once a month, often more. They know me, for sure. The breakfast is good food, at a great price. While the selection seems superficially basic - eggs, meat, etc - there are some awesome combinations. I love muffin sandwiches, myself. Coffee cups are usually kept full, and while it can get a bit packed for breakfast, it's not usually to the point of being unable to find a seat or feeling like service is neglecting you. Dinner is good as well- again, reasonably priced, interesting options. I love the gyros myself, and they have good fries and onion rings. There is a bit of disparity in the quality of the food- at least one cook back there is /really/ good and everything is fantastic those nights, and another is only okay. Never bad enough to put me off coming back! Definitely a family owned business and a local favorite. Big fan.

Good cheese coneys. Really good. I would skip the three way however.... other food looks good. I will try it again.

Today I had the gyro pizza with feta added, and had to upgrade my rating from 4 stars. This thing is excellent. It comes with a small bowl of the best tzatziki sauce in town, too.
