Greek Fare with New York Flare.
Rather than focusing on coastal fare, Skara draws its inspiration from the mountainous countryside and heartland of Greece—where lamb, pork, and other land-sourced meats are seasoned simply, grilled to perfection, and served with heartfelt hospitality.
Every dish reflects the flavors of the villages, with an emphasis on authenticity, tradition, and the richness of Greece’s pastoral culinary heritage. Dino’s dedication to quality, atmosphere, and community is the heart of Skara Taverna.
It’s more than a restaurant—it’s an invitation to experience a taste of Greece right in the heart of Williston Park. As he embarks on this new chapter, Dino continues to build on a legacy rooted in hospitality, culture, and an unwavering love for the culinary traditions of his heritage.
