avli inspired greek
Greek House is excited to partner with Avli, a restaurant group led by Louie Alexakis and Lou Canellis, who share our passion for authentic Greek hospitality and innovative dining experiences. Their commitment to honoring tradition while bringing contemporary Greek cuisine to new audiences aligns perfectly with our mission. Together, we look forward to expanding the reach of Greek culture, cuisine, and community.
Four years, three Chicago concepts, and one Milwaukee restaurant later, the group is excited to continue expanding their vision of contemporary Greek.
“We're always going to put our heart and soul in it, and the growth is just a natural progression of that."
