My wife and I stopped here for lunch. Her vegetarian Greek pizza was most excellent. My Greek Hashish brunch mix was not quite as good but on the whole we enjoyed our meal here and would recommend this as a casual cafe stop.

as critics always say, u _must_ try the polenta fries! yes, they r great! some sandwiches come w/ a side of polenta fries. the putanesca is good here, yes. it's a li'l bit of an underrated berkeley place. it isn't all that old of an establishment, i s'ppose. it's on the side of campus that isn't visited all that much. yah, the restaurant part of this place is more to talk 'bout than the cafe. the sandwiches n' salads r great.

really good mediterrean fud for under $10. this restaurant's also a cafe. i realized that the restaurant part of the place is much better than the cafe part. their espresso drink is expensive compared to the cafes nearby like espresso experience and yali's. their polenta fries were very good. i had the puttanesca linguine, which i found to be more delicious than the one from venezia (also in berkeley).

This is an excellent place to eat some very good food in a casutting. It is a great place to go and just unwind. The pasta dishes are quite good and the portions are fairly large. They have a portabella mushroom sandwich which is both unusual and delicious. They always have 4-5 tapas of the day which are good snacks or appetizers. Try the polenta fries. The wine list is small but they are all available by the glass.They stay open pretty late too.

Odyssia is owned and operated by the same people who run Caffe Nefeli on Euclid. Like Nefeli, this looks like a European-style Cafe, although it's a lot more polished and roomy. Same fantastic capuccinos, without question the best in the East Bay. Same friendly but slightly disorganized service. Same great desserts, especially the tiramisu. It is more expensive than other Cafes in Berkeley, but it's definitely worth it. Be sure to check out the map of Greece on the restroom floor.

This is a Cafe with a full lunch and dinner menu. It's kind of expensive compared with most Cafes, but it's very good. The antipasto-like plate has many tasty items including marinated eggplant, stuffed artichoke, and polenta and cilantro fritters. Vegetarians can substitute something for the smoked fish. The Roman gnocchi didn't look anything like the gnocchi I'm used to (it looked more like a wedge of polenta), but it was delicious. The desserts are good, too. The service is nice in a sort of charmingly disorganized way.
