Krasi

Modern Greek Dining in the Heart of Back Bay

Located on Gloucester Street in Boston’s chic Back Bay, Krasi is a stylish taverna-style restaurant that brings a fresh, modern twist to traditional Greek dining. Just a short walk from major concert venues like Fenway Park and the House of Blues, Krasi offers a cozy yet energetic setting with rustic décor and warm hospitality.

The name 'Krasi' means ‘wine’ in Greek, and true to its name, the restaurant boasts one of the largest all-Greek wine lists in the U.S. The menu focuses on mezze-style dishes meant for sharing, with bold flavors and artful presentation. Whether you're sampling house-made breads or indulging in a plate of lamb souvlaki, Krasi delivers an authentic Mediterranean experience with a modern Boston twist.
