Izabela, located at 36 Anapafseos in Drapetsona, Greece, is a culinary establishment that goes beyond being just a restaurant; it embodies history, family, and love through its authentic Armenian cuisine. Founded by Izabela Boghosian, who draws inspiration from her roots in Cilicia, the eatery showcases recipes that were passed down from her grandmothers. With the help of her husband Stelios Kopanakis, who traditionally works as a jeweler and takes on the role of grill master in the evenings, and their son Agop, they enrich the dining experience with personal stories and traditions.

The establishment began in 2017 after the loss of Izabela's mother, prompting her to find solace in the recipes cherished by the Armenian community. Initially starting with small appetizers in Stelios's souvlaki shop in Rentis, where they operated under the name 'Tsikudoantamoma', they transitioned to their own space in 2022-2023. Over the past three years, their commitment to providing an authentic dining experience has garnered significant affection from the local community in Piraeus, justifiably earning its reputation as a beloved neighborhood treasure.

By embracing her heritage through cooking, Izabela has created a warm and welcoming environment that invites patrons not only to enjoy a meal but also to partake in the shared stories and cultural exchanges that accompany it. This strong connection to her roots, combined with the support of her family, has allowed Izabela's eatery to thrive within the Piraeus neighborhood, highlighting the importance of food as a medium for storytelling and community building.
