"Guy Fieri knows a good restaurant when he sees one. Not only has he owned many eateries, but he's also written several food-focused books and been headlining Food Network's 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' for the past 20 years. So, when he came across Mykonos Kuzina in Naples, Florida, Fieri knew owners Alex Lekakis and Emily Martino had something special, choosing to feature the Greek restaurant on a March 2025 episode."
"For the uninitiated, dolmades are a traditional Mediterranean starter consisting of grape leaves stuffed with rice, herbs, spices, and sometimes meat, and served with lemon juice or sauce. At Mykonos Kuzina, dolmades are stuffed with ground beef, rice, and Greek seasonings. They are hand-rolled and arrive topped with lemonato sauce made with chicken stock, flour, butter, and fresh lemon juice."
"An appetizer portion, consisting of four dolmades, goes for $12. Or, for $10, you can opt for the venue's vegetarian option. Meanwhile, the dinner-sized 6-count costs $25 and comes with a side of roasted lemon oregano potatoes, rice, fries, couscous salad, or stewed green beans."
