![]() It was my first time visiting, and we stayed at the Kyramai hotel. ![]() When Kleio was two months old, I took her and Ania to my grandfather’s hometown, Gerolimenas. I spend time in Greece every year, meeting suppliers and getting inspiration for my restaurants. While we were walking our dogs, I pulled her father aside and asked for her hand in marriage. After she gave birth, her parents came to visit from Vancouver. I made the decision to propose in September 2018, while Ania was pregnant with Kleio. I felt like it was the right time for me-and Ania was the right partner-to start building a family. After a year together, we got pregnant with our daughter, Kleio. For my birthday, in December, she bought me our now seven-year-old dog, Stella. Thanos: After we’d been seeing each other for about three months, I gave Ania a key to my loft, and she moved in. There was no one else I would have rather been with. We had so much fun no matter what we were doing. From that night on, we never left each other’s side.Īnia: We just loved spending time together. Then we went out for drinks on Dundas West. We went there to pick up food and had a picnic in the park. Thanos: I’d just opened Agora across the street from Trinity Bellwoods. So Thanos borrowed a friend’s dog and asked me to go to the park with him. I left my dog with my parents in Vancouver when I moved to Toronto in 2016, and I really missed her. But then she finally came back to Toronto and agreed to go on a date.Īnia: Thanos was very thoughtful about planning our first date. Thanos: Ania was travelling for work, and every time I reached out to her, she was out of town. I spent the next six months-maybe longer-trying to convince her to go out with me.Īnia: Thanos and I became friends after that first meeting. Thanos: We met when Ania came into Mamakas Taverna with a friend for dinner. They got engaged in September 2018, and four years later, their loved ones gathered on the Greek island of Sifnos for a chic, laid-back wedding celebration with Mediterranean flair. The couple first crossed paths in May 2016, when Ania dined at one of Thanos’s restaurants. With their nuptials delayed three times-twice by Covid and once by a pregnancy-the fourth time was the charm for Ania Taubenfligel, co-founder of Triarchy Denim, and Thanos Tripi, the owner of Mamakas Food Group, which operates Mamakas Taverna, Souvla by Mamakas, Bar Koukla and Agora in Toronto.
