The Wrap: Emilitsa – eventually; Bethel to lose a favorite cafe
Taco Trio to move, and a new pastry program will aid immigrant women.

Emilitsa, the go-to spot in Portland for sophisticated Greek food since 2008, closed after the holidays because of the pandemic. The owners left an outgoing phone message making a vague promise that they would return to 547 Congress St. sometime in late spring. Then, crickets. Emilitsa’s social media hasn’t been updated in months, and that same farewell phone message is all you’ll get if you call the restaurant.
Well, I have mixed news for anxious Emilitsa fans. The good news is that brothers John and Demos Regas do, indeed, plan on reopening. The bad news is, you’ll have to wait until late summer, maybe longer.
