Christos Mediterranean Grille

Christos Mediterranean Grille is a family-owned Greek restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh, serving authentic Greek and Mediterranean cuisine for more than 25 years. Founded in 1996 by Greek immigrant Christos Melacrinos, the restaurant was built on a passion for traditional recipes, warm hospitality, and the dream of sharing the flavors of Greece with the local community.

Inspired by the culinary traditions of Ikaria, Greece—one of the world's renowned Blue Zones—Christos Mediterranean Grille prepares classic Greek dishes using time-honored family recipes. Guests can enjoy favorites such as gyros, lamb specialties, Greek pies, Greek pizza, fresh spreads including tzatziki, hummus, and baba ganoush, as well as traditional desserts like baklava.

Today, the restaurant continues to be operated by three generations of the Melacrinos family, preserving the spirit of Greek philoxenia while welcoming locals, visitors, performers, athletes, and guests attending Pittsburgh's Cultural District. In addition to daily dining, Christos has become a popular destination for weddings, graduations, birthdays, and other special celebrations.

Dedicated to authentic cuisine, family traditions, and the Mediterranean lifestyle, Christos Mediterranean Grille continues to offer a genuine Greek dining experience that combines quality food, welcoming service, and the rich heritage of Greece.
