A vintage restaurant serving traditional Greek and Santorini cuisine. The service is friendly and relaxed. The food is fresh and well made. Worth an experience! Bookings are recommended.
It's a nice well known restaurant. As soon as you enter to the best point of view of Firostefani you will be attire to look at the restaurant. It's a nice Cosy place with more than 100 years of history. We order the fried feta, Moussaka and Shrimps pasta. Good quality of the products and good taste in overall plates. Only advice, the pasta Shrimps was a little oily. The service was good. Nice place to go if you are in the zone.
The location is untoppable. The attention is kinda bad, to be honest. The way some waiters talk to the customers sounds a bit aggressive. They also need to check more often on the tables, as it took some time for us to be able to call the waiter just to order. The food was amazing. For starters we had the bread with eggplant dip and it was so fresh and flavorful. We got the pasta with mushrooms and truffle and the tomato and cappers pasta. Both amazing. The house wine was very good. The orange cake was good but a bit too sweet for my taste, had honey. Overall a place with a super view, but the service can improve. They take cards.
The restaurant is very well situated and the food was delicious: pictured are veal with eggplant purée, mushroom pasta, smoked mackerel and lentil salad and cheese-feta eggplant rolls (which we particularly recommend!). I would go there again ;)
