The spaghetti meatballs here are proper old-school taverna stuff. Sauce has that slow-cooked taste, not rushed. Place feels like it&#39;s been here forever, in a good way. Service was quick, no fuss. Just solid Greek comfort food when you need it.

The garden seating is so nice in summer&mdash;shaded and quiet. Had a relaxed lunch with fresh, filling food. Service was quick too. 🌿

The octopus special and seabass passionfruit ceviche were spot on fresh. Staff saved us a table after a short wait, which I really appreciated.

The fried zucchini balls were the real deal. Crunchy outside, soft inside, and not greasy at all. Price was fair for what you got. Street parking was easy too. I&rsquo;d come back just for those.

The carbonara was really good&mdash;they finish it tableside with a big cheese wheel, which I loved. Pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce creamy but not heavy. I could taste the quality of the ingredients, especially the guanciale. Only thing, the portion felt a bit small for the price. But honestly, the flavors stayed with me after I left.

The menu&rsquo;s got a good mix, tried a few things and they all landed fine. Place sits up near the castle in Kyparissia, easy to find. Nothing blew me away but solid enough for a casual stop. Maybe a bit quiet when I went, but that worked for me.

Loved the bay view from our table &mdash; that alone made it worth stopping. Tried a few dishes and they were all solid. Nothing fancy, just good food with a nice breeze.

The renovated historic building looks great inside, lots of seating too. Didn&#39;t try the food this time, just stopped for a quick coffee.

Stopped by for a late lunch near the marina&mdash;cozy little place, kinda old-school vibe. Waitress was super nice, checked on us without hovering. Had the grilled octopus, pretty solid. Nothing fancy, just a chill spot to eat and watch boats.

Loved the shaded spot under the olive trees, beach right there. Moussaka was a solid portion and pretty tasty for the price.

The view over the bay is honestly the main reason to come here. Grilled fish was fresh, no complaints. Service friendly enough. Just a nice spot to sit and watch the water.

Been coming here for years and the chicken souvlaki never disappoints. Still fresh, still tasty, and the Greek salad holds up every single time. Simple spot, but that&rsquo;s exactly why I keep going back.

Came here for dinner with a couple of friends and honestly we just stayed for drinks after. The spot on the renovated square is super nice, perfect for hanging out. Staff were chill and actually helped us figure out what to order. Only thing is it got a bit loud later, but we were having fun anyway 😊

The fillet steak was cooked just right, and the veggies were fresh. House ros&eacute; paired nicely. Service was good too. A solid Christmas dinner spot.

Came here on a busy evening, grabbed a table without much wait. Pizza was huge, definitely enough for two. Wine list is basic but cheap, which works. Staff were friendly, not fake polite. Place is simple, nothing fancy, but it&#39;s got that local vibe. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Grilled chicken and cheese salad were fresh and light, exactly what I needed. They even made a simple pasta for my daughter without fuss. Clean spot, open all year which is rare around here.

We came for the grilled octopus and it was really fresh, not chewy at all. I liked that they kept the seasoning light so you could taste the sea. Portion was decent for the price. Only thing, the salad felt a bit wilted on the side. Still, I&#39;d order the octopus again.

The choco lava pizza pancake was the highlight, seriously good. Retro spot with a fun vibe. Gets busy, so beat the lunch rush if you can.

Came for a late afternoon drink, staff was friendly and got us seated fast. Sea was flat calm in the morning, by 4pm it got choppy. Just sat there with a cold beer watching it change. Good spot to kill a couple hours if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

Stopped by again for the spaghetti&mdash;still homemade and solid. Nothing fancy, but the beachside spot keeps me coming back. Good for a quick bite.

We came back a second time and they actually remembered us. Chicken souvlaki was solid, the mussels were good, but honestly the fried cheese with that jam was the thing I kept thinking about. They sent out a little dessert on our second night which was a nice touch. I had a glass of their house red with the souvlaki and it worked fine. Place gets busy, so don&#39;t expect rushed service.

Stopped by late and the guy behind the counter was still super friendly. Didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. Food was decent for the price, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Place has a bit of a canteen vibe but it&#39;s clean and welcoming. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and want a no-fuss meal.

Came for the fresh fish and calamari, both were solid. The saganaki with honey was the highlight though, salty and sweet just right. Staff were friendly without hovering. Place was busy but we got a table quick. Prices fair for what you get. Would eat here again if I&#39;m back in the area.

Came for lunch and dinner on two separate days. The front area with plants and open windows is nice, but we sat further inside where it&#39;s darker. Food was fresh and tasty both times.

Nice spot right on the harbour. Fish fillet was cooked well, Greek salad fresh. Even saw a turtle swimming by while we ate. Pretty chill place. 🐢
