The Best of the Mediterranean at Vlora

Embrace the flavors of the Mediterranean at Vlora, the funky Back Bay restaurant that presents a fusion of Greek, Albanian, and Southern Italian cuisine. Chef Aldo Velaj has created a menu inspired by his hometown in Albania, as well as the tastes of the wider Mediterranean—and the results are fantastic. From appetizers to desserts the menu offers a range of tastes and spices, from the Watermelon and Feta tidbit—a surprising combination of flavors and textures that works beautifully—to the Arancini Siciliani, Italian rice balls stuffed with feta and served in a tomato and mint sauce. Dessert is a must, especially The Kompekai, an Albanian style bread pudding chock full of pistachios and walnuts and topped with a wonderful crème anglaise. All of the ingredients are fresh, the service is friendly, and atmosphere is as laid back and inviting as the sunny Mediterranean.
