Stepping into OPA is akin to stepping into Greece. The restaurant offers a large selection of Greek dishes. My wife had a delicious traditional Greek salad. I had the rack of lamb. Both dishes were "five star" (actually even more if it was possible). While we were eating, the restaurant owner, his wife, and sister in law arrived to dine as well. Ricardo Arriole, owner, is an amazing host. He is warm and welcoming, bringing an ambiance, an aura, few restaurants can, if any, can match. His presence topped off a wonderful dining experience. Without any doubt, we will surely return to OPA next year. We highly recommend OPA. Try not to miss it when you are in PV.
Amazing little place! Great Greek food with reasonable prices. They only have a few tables so be prepared to wait if you go on a busy night, but it's worth the wait! Portions are not massive, so it's an great opportunity to try a few different dishes. The owner is very attentive and takes the time to talk to each guest. Highly recommended and I'll be going there often!
OPA Greek Bistro is an absolute gem! The food was vibrant, authentic, and bursting with flavor—every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious.

The cozy and inviting atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy great Greek cuisine with family or friends. With an impressive menu offering a variety of mouthwatering options, every bite felt like a celebration of authentic flavors. I highly recommend OPA Greek Bistro and can’t wait to return!
I'm not a big Greek foodie but do love Gyros. The gyros here are the best I ever tasted. The pita bread was soft and fresh. The lamb/beef combo was extremely tender.
Everything was amazing!! Perfectly grilled meats and vegetables. We had the octopus, lamb skewer, and Mykonos style fish. Made my Birthday so special with wonderful flavored meal and family feeling. Thank you all!
Deliscious and amazing service. This place is very very clean and everyone who works there really works hard to make your experience grand. The chef came out and said he would gladly replace anything we did not like. We liked it all. The fish, chicken and lamb were all very flavourful and well prepared. The dog desert was like nothing I had before. If you are in pv and feel like Greek... give this place a shot.
Very tasty meal. Loved the hummus. Will be back for sure.
This place is super cute and has lovely ambience but we always get take away or delivery because we live nearby. It’s always consistently yummy and a good option for when we have family & friends over for a meal. I could eat hummus everyday
