One traditional Greek restaurant is hoping to see more people soon to keep business going.

Going to Tarpon Springs is like stepping into Greece with old traditions and, of course, the food.

Hellas Bakery is a greek resturant with all the favorites like greek cannolis, baklava, tiramisu, napoleons and more.

Today it’s using 20 of its 70 tables but hopes that number will rise to 50 percent soon, and maybe even a full house by the end of summer.

Hellas Bakery General Manager Manny Psomas told 8 On Your Side’s Lila Gross he is focusing on social distancing, sanitizing and keeping everyone safe.
