Fantastic food, brilliant service, terrific atmosphere and drinks. Meze was just perfect. Such a long standing restaurant that’s always busy at the weekends. Definitely worth a visit. We have been numerous times over the years which is the best recommendation anyone can make.

Absolutely lovely meal. Service excellent. We were visiting Liverpool for 3 days and spent our last night here. Was concerned as its been about 15 years since we last ate here but the standard was still amazing. Will be returning when we visit again

What a cracking place this is. Been a few times over the years, the food is great, atmosphere a wee slice of Greece, staff are exceptional. The Greek Meze is great value for money!

Visited this restaurant a couple of times over the years, but it's been a few years since our last visit. I'd almost forgotten just how lovely it is. Cosy setting with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The food was just superb! We had the 5 course Meze, and it is tremendous value for money. I can't wait to go back!

We’ve been regular visitors over the years but this was our first since Lockdown. It was a welcome return. It’s still as cosy and comfortable as we remembered. We brought some out of town friends and they were delighted. We had Humous (2), Keftedes, Dolmades, Pistachio, Afelia, Moussaka and Stifado. We were all pleased with our orders. With drinks the total bill was just over £90, which we thought was reasonable. Great service from the Mother and Daughter team and I’m sure we won’t leave it as long next time.

Our first visit. Food was hot and home made. All very fresh and not processed. The real chips were amazing! The waitress was lovely with our son and even the chef came out of the kitchen and made a fuss of him. The spicy prawns were amazing. We will definitely return. Don’t be put off by the authentic Greek decor. It’s slightly dated by todays standards but has a lovely feel about it and is spotlessly clean. We went on a Thursday night and hadn’t booked, unlike every other table. We were lucky to get a table, it seems very popular.

We love this restaurant, which is only a couple of hundred yards from our house. The staff are so welcoming and it has a really cosy, friendly atmosphere. The decor is Greek, with Greek background music. The food can only be described as amazing! We loved everything we had and can’t wait to go back again!

This is a lovely , family run restaurant. I have been here a few times and never been disappointed. The staff are all lovely and very attentive to your needs. There is a standard menu where you can have two or three courses from the menu for a set price but in all fairness the prices are reasonable so we ordered off the main menu. Two starts, mains and drinks under £50.00. Food excellent. Ambience of the restaurant perfect. Would highly recommend.

We were a table of 6 visiting on a last minute decision and Retsina were very accommodating. The staff were lovely and friendly and nothing too much trouble. Food was very nice and was reasonably priced at £9.95 for a two course. Only negative thing is it was quite chilly in there and could have done with a some kind of heating on.

Went with friends last night had a terrific meal, a very clean resting, pleasant efficient staff with open kitchen, we had fixed price menu this had extensive varied choice, I had meatballs to start and mixed grill, good quality food and a nice wine choice. I had to bring some home, as portion size is good. My friend had chicken retsina I did try some, I will have that next time. Very reasonable prices, can’t wait to come back.

Con la situación actual de bloqueo, decidimos pedir la opción de comida para llevar de este restaurante para nuestro regalo de fin de semana de Pascua el sábado por la noche. Menú de 2 platos para 11. 99. Estuve esperando esto toda la semana, pero luego muy decepcionado con la comida, los champiñones con ajo para empezar eran insípidos y muy aguados, el plato principal era kebab de pollo picante y picante, el pollo estaba desafortunadamente muy seco y no era agradable comer, no había salsa, nuevamente insípido. También pedimos dos porciones de papas fritas que se anunciaban como caseras, lamento decir que no eran caseras, sino congeladas y no agradables, de hecho, mi esposa terminó haciendo nuestras propias papas fritas caseras para acompañar las comidas. Así que, en general, muy decepcionado y no lo recomendaría, una pérdida de más de 30 por comida de mala calidad, no volveremos

I have never been to a Greek restaurant before, and Retsina did not disappoint. Lovely cosy restaurant and friendly staff. We shared a garlic bread starter and I opted for a mixed kebab for the main - it certainly wasn't like the grisly takeaway kebabs I am familiar with. The restaurant wasn't too busy either on a Sunday evening which made for a relaxing dining experience.

Tuve una comida aquí esta noche, y aunque el servicio fue A 1 y mi entrante de ensalada griega muy agradable, las gambas que tuve fue diferente a todo lo que he probado antes. Sin sabor alguno, y una consistencia muy extraña, más como papilla. Los productos de pescado en Google y aparentemente inferiores se pueden utilizar picados con una cantidad mínima de cigalas. No me impresionó esto ya que no era barato. También esperaba algunos buenos chips gruesos pero estaban pálidos y delgados.

Visitamos Retsina anoche y tuvimos el meze. Pedimos solo para 2 personas ya que nuestras niñas no comen mucho, me alegro de no haber pedido para ellas, así como había una gran cantidad de comida, no pudimos terminar el último curso. Todo muy bien cocinado y delicioso, nuestras chicas realmente disfrutaron el curso de pescado. El servicio fue excelente, muy amable y relajado. En general, una noche encantadora, gracias a todo el personal por hacerla una.

We booked in for the second sitting at Retzina on New Year's Eve. We received a warm and friendly greeting from the owner and the two young servers who were also super friendly.A family of three we orderered cold mixed dips to start which were all delicious especially the Tzatsiki! There was plenty to go around.For mains we ordered the retzina chicken the Greek mixed grill and the hot starters with rice and chips. The chips were home made and the best of any Greek restaurant, the rice was also very good and clearly very fresh.The Greek salad was lovely. And the staff were happy to make changes! The feta was absolutely delicious! The grill and hot starters were excellent all of the meat was very tender and well cooked and everything we ate was perfect.The chicken retzina was lovely in a really good sauce and the server's recommendation for this was perfect.Overall we had a great time the food was brilliant and all of the staff were lovely and friendly total cost for the bill was extremely reasonable we will definitely be back thank you Retzina!!!

Escuché en la vid que Retsina hizo un Meze para dos personas a un precio razonable. Fuimos el domingo por la noche y nos recibió el dueño, que nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. Puso una mesa más grande para poder poner los platos de Meze sin hacinamiento. Pedimos una botella de vino que era muy razonable y deliciosa y realmente combinaba con la comida.Los cursos seguían llegando y todas eran porciones increíbles y muy sabrosas.La comida terminó con chuletas a la parrilla y carnes con papas fritas, que con toda honestidad no pudimos terminar ya que estábamos llenos.En general, la comida tardó dos horas y media porque queríamos tiempo para disfrutar de cada plato. El propietario y el "esposo" somos muy agradables y el ambiente era muy relajado. Hemos decidido llevar a nuestra familia allí en un futuro cercano.

Fuimos con amigos el viernes por la noche. El menú es bastante extenso, y hay un menú fijo con 2 platos para 9. 95, 3 cursos para 11. 95) Muy buen valor, pensamos. El arroz, las papas fritas y la ensalada son adicionales, pero a 2 para arroz o papas fritas, y 1. 80 para la ensalada, sigue siendo muy buena relación calidad-precio. Dos de nosotros comimos taramasalata para empezar, uno tenía champiñones y otro morrallas. Los entrantes fueron servidos con pan, que estaba incluido en el precio. Todos disfrutamos nuestros entrantes.

Reservé una mesa para dos anoche. La posición de la mesa era muy buena, la comida era absolutamente excelente! Mi esposa tenía aceitunas y yo tenía una sabrosa salchicha y ensalada de ajo caliente. El vino que tuvimos fue un magnífico blanco griego que complementa la comida. Los platos principales fueron cordero y con arroz con azafrán y las raciones eran muy generosas. El servicio fue realmente bueno y el ambiente cálido, amigable con un murmullo de conversación entre los muchos comensales.

We went as our fave Greek cypriana was closed, the guy who owns it is south African I believe and is lovely and the chef is from zorbas originally I'm sure..but not for us, food was bland and tasteless, the halloumi was burnt and the meat was dry and overcooked, chips where frozen and done in a deep fat fryer and greasebound, the Greek mixed grill was like a brick, n looked like it had been left on way 2 long and the retsina chicken was bland and uninteresting no presentation skills ..crap lettuce and huge slices of cucumber on the side???...plus if u want rice..u pay extra..and annoying Greek guitarist who is on repeat on a TV serves as the background music, with low level lighting also and a dated decor just made the whole experience terrible...the Keo was nice and the desserts but other than that...awful, I'd say go and get a cooking lesson from cypriana as they are packed all the time ...shame as literally 15 mins away from us.

This restaurant is local for me - only up the top of my road and I have visited many times, not sure if the owners have changed as the menu was slightly different than normal, ordered the lamb kleftico which was beautifully cooked and fell from the bone, however the veg that came with it had hardly seen any boiled water and where very hard therefore left uneaten, the roast potato (juts the one) that came with the meal was an Aunt Bessie potato - proper Kleftico has the potato cooked with it and should have that lovely lamb flavour and the jacket potato was cooked in the microwave - I know this as the kitchen is open and I saw them remove it from the microwave, this is supposed to be a home cooked food restaurant and I unfortunately was very disappointed on what is normally very good food, it may be a while before I retrun

Visité Retsina por primera vez en más de 5 años, me mudé del área y sigue siendo exactamente como lo recuerdo. La comida es muy buena y el servicio excelente. Cuando llegamos, solo había una persona esperando en las mesas, sirviendo en el bar y clasificando las facturas de las personas, pero nunca tuvimos que esperar demasiado para ser atendidos a pesar de estar relativamente ocupados. La cocina está en vistas abiertas del restaurante, que siempre creo que es agradable ver la comida producida. Teníamos el menú fijo de 2 platos con kebabs, estos venían con ensalada, patatas fritas eran extra sin embargo, una porción era suficiente para dos de nosotros. T 4 los dos entrantes que tuvimos fueron encantadores, en particular el "humum asado" que mi esposa dijo que era INCREÍBLE.

Reservé la Retsina para mí y para 3 miembros de la familia, ya que los demás tenían que trabajar el día de Navidad. Vivimos localmente y vamos regularmente, así que sabíamos que sería bueno. Tengo que decir que superó nuestras expectativas! La comida era deliciosa y abundante. No podíamos comerlo todo. El pavo se servía como dos bistecs gruesos en salsa así que era bueno y jugoso. Los entrantes y los postres eran enormes y había toneladas de gambas en mi cóctel de gambas. Eran tan acogedores y seguían viniendo para preguntar si estaba bien. El servicio fue fabuloso y realmente disfrutamos de nosotros mismos. Gracias Retsina, volveremos pronto!

I feel extremely disappointed with my new local. Having recently moved into the area, me and my partner have been trying various restaurants. I had high hopes in this restaurant due to their good reviews and partner’s old memory of the place from years back. Our starters (garlic bread and lentil and lamb soup) were flavourless and underwhelming. Our mains were very poor. The chicken and pork were so tough and tasted as though they were microwaved from frozen and then thrown onto a grill. The sausage was inedible. It was such cheap quality meat. The sauce was nice and I liked their homemade chips. Their rice was very unpleasant however. Again, it tasted microwaved - it was so dry and flavourless. The only taste was due to the hideous tasting spice sprinkled on the top of it. I would give this restaurant 1 star for the food but the waiter was so accommodating and genuinely concerned about our experience. I felt very sorry for him having to serve such woeful dishes. Without asking the waiter also knocked off a supplement charge as he knew we were not pleased with our food.

As soon as we walked into the restaurant we felt like we were in Greece. Lovely atmosphere, friendly welcome from the family. Food was cooked to perfection. Calamari starter was tender and tasty. Taramasalata was the real thing not this supermarket stuff. 4 (yes 4!) perfectly cooked lamb chops and chicken in white wine later and we were impressed. Thank you to the whole family for a fabulous night.

Pasado este restaurante muchas veces sin pagar una visita, que cambió en la última noche y nos sentimos nunca llamado antes. Retsina es un restaurante familiar donde te hacen sentir bienvenido en cuanto entras por la puerta. La comida era excelente, elegimos una selección de entrantes y tenía la berenjena y kleftiko psiton y la carne de cordero se cayó del hueso. Costo de la comida y las bebidas eran muy razonables y la comida terminamos con una copa de ouzo, que nos hicieron sentir que estábamos de vuelta en Grecia en vacaciones la única tragedia griega aquí es si no regreso por unos segundos.

Not been here for a while after a very poor visit some time ago. This visit however was very different. Service was very good and food very tasty and plentiful. Just two points of contention - menu states that the chips are homemade and although the chips are quite tasty I am sure they are frozen supermarket type also dropping the children's menu is a big mistake.

I went here on Friday for my birthday. food was lovely but we were overcharged nearly £15. i queried the bill as we had been charged for 5 3 course set menus but there were only 4 i was told it was the cheapest way to do it (as another had a meal from main menu) . We left because we had other places to go to but i wasn't convinced so when i got home i did a quick total up of what we actually had and we had definitely been over charged. Unfortunately nothing I could dio about it now as we had left the bill and cash on the table. SO I SAY CHECK YOUR BILL CAREFULLY

This is the greatest Greek restaurant in the whole of Merseyside. My wife and I ordered the Meze - our usual order in Greek restaurants - and we both agreed that this is the finest of the lot. Everything from the salad and dips, right through to the kebab and chips at the end is the finest we have ever tasted. The owner spent a lot of time with us, explaining how he makes the dishes and what it is that makes them so different from other restaurants. What a lovely man - nothing was too much trouble for him and what was clear was his passion for good food and his determination to provide the best food possible. A warm welcome, great food, a wonderful atmosphere (even though it was a fairly quiet night) - I'm never going to another Greek restaurant and will only go to Retsina in the future!

excellent food, which also caters for kids. Nice compact restaurant with an almost open plan kitchen (well you can see the chef busy at work). service was fantastic too.

Lovely atmosphere, the best lamb I've tasted literally fell off the bone.This place has the feeling like you have just walked in to a traditional Greek home and you are being served straight from the kitchen. Very homely.

I have driven past several times and always wanted to try this place as it looks lovely from the outside.We had the most amazing food the staff were so helpful and helped me with the menu as i am allergic to cheese. We chose the tapas option which they made to suit my allergy requirement. If you go early and pay cash its an anazing discount. Cant wait to go again

After a long period of absence (due to a number of reasons) my partner and I had the most delicious meze supported by the most attentive staff as this authentic Greek restaurant. The price of our meal and wine were perfectly reasonable and we shall be returning very soon. Don't miss out on this lovely inner city gem.

I had driven past this restaurant on many occasions but was always a bit hesitant to try here as doesn't really look to be anything special from the outside. However I was really impressed with the food here. Went for the mid week special which was really reasonable. Very friendly staff too.

My whole family love retsina but as we have young kids we can't go often enough. I recently found out they do takeaways and they don't disappoint. If you want a lovely fresh takeaway meal without the guilt of a greasy chippy I can't recommend it enough. Lovely staff and great food every time we've been, what more can you ask for?

We have visited and had takeaway from here several time's, as I wasn't feeling 100% we decided to order takeaway.Really wish we hadn't bothered.We ordered the hot & cold starters and a mixed kebab with chips.All the cold starters looked the same grey colour with loads of paprika on top, it was very hard to tell which was the hummus or tahina. And I've never had grey taramasalata and I'm still not convinced it was? The Greek salad was chunks of cucumber, tomatoes with limp brown lettuce and NO feta drowning in vinegar!The hot starters were a lot better but as it was supposed to be for 2 people having only 1 of each item ment we had to cut everything in half ?As for the mixed kebab of chicken & lamb, all I can say is the lamb was inedible and I gave up after 2 mouthfull of the chicken.We won't be going back and next time we fancy a takeaway kebab will go the local pizza place for a quarter of the price.

We have been so delighted to discover this Greek gem of a restaurant close to our home. We have been a few times now with our 2 year old son. The food is incredible - authentic and fresh - and we have felt very welcomed. We are looking forward to our next visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend :)

Visited with 3 young children EARLY evening. My 1 year old son was walking around the very empty upstairs area of the restaurant, a very rude waiter approached us and asked for us to stop our children from running around?? Apparently there were loud thuds downstairs, loud thuds from a child who weighs 24lb??? My friend just so happened to be sitting downstairs, i asked if the baby could be heard and she confirmed there were no noises whatsoever!! We were then told to stop putting the chef under pressure! Baffled as we had only just ordered our food 2 mins earlier (apparently we complained that our food wasn't quick enough) all lies from the owners son. Avoid if u have children, appalling all round!

we were staying in the Travelodge which is about a ten minute walk from here, and only found this restaurant through tripadvisor. so glad we did - we'd never have came across it otherwise as it's in a residential area. was myself, my boyfriend and my toddler. food was fantastic - all freshly made, full of favour. Greek lager - forget the name - was lovely. Very reasonable - £40 for 2 courses for the adults, lamb kebab and chips for my little girl, and 5 beers. Absolutely worth a visit.

The atmosphere makes this restaurant. It's cosy but good. The staff were superb if not very busy.Expect to spend a while here it's not a place to rush in and get out.We really enjoyed our meal.Food is of a good standard.I thought the prices were good not as expensive as other restaurants.

A family run traditional Greek restaurant. Good atmosphere, food and drinks. Reasonably priced. Fun for all. Staff very welcoming. Service excellent.

We had a meal with family here. we have been many times and always had a warm welcome. Food was lovely as usual and reasonably priced. It was quite busy and so service was a little slow but as we were too busy chatting we didn't mind. We were not hurried and were the last to leave. . The choice is good largely because you can have a cheaper menu or the main menu. House wines are fine too.

We found retsina last year and as we live local we go as often as we can now. The staff are really friendly and the food is lovely. We've never been disappointed with our meals and it isn't over priced either. If you've never been its definitely worth trying.

We hadn't booked for our meal and as a large party was due in an hour we were given seating as long as we didn't linger.Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was great and we had typical Greek starters including dips and that wonderful warm Greek style bread.We were finished within the hour and in bed watching TV a little later.Convenient, friendly, good food.

This review is so overdue , so apologies to the owners of this superb establishment. Ian & I (Laura) went here to celebrate my birthday on 9th September 2024 (our second visit to Liverpool). We wanted to find a family run authentic Greek restaurant, so we researched the best Greek restaurants in Liverpool & read the reviews. We had a wonderful experience from this lovey couple. The food was home made & we ate morsel of food on our plate; we had PSITO-KLEFTIKO Lamb on the bone slowly oven cooked in tomatoes & herbs & for dessert; Baklava. The Desserts are homemade via his wife, who gave me a slice of Bakewell Tart for my birthday to take with us. We also met a lovely couple who sat next to us; they were regulars , their nephew lived in Greece. Please send them our regards when they are in next. We shall definitely, be returning to this superb restaurant, upon our next visit to Liverpool.

The food was tasty, but cold. In fairness this was probably due to the time it took to arrive. The chips were cold and soggy and the meat a bit tough, which is a shame as the flavours were good. Perhaps a better place to eat in rather than have food delivered.

Superb experience here this evening (Saturday night), despite being very busy and not having a booked table they managed to accommodate us with great friendly service and some genuinely fantastic food. Very good quality and generous portions, we all left stuffed having spent a very modest amount. Thoroughly recommended!
