Beautiful restaurant situated on the black beach with expansive views of the beautiful water. Service was very quick and the food was excellent. We shared an order of tzatziki, fava bean, the Mario special salad, and spanakopita. Paired beautifully with a glass of white wine and the traditional Moussaka (Greek lasagna)
Nothing more to say great prices excellent food if you want fresh fish and you want your pick this is a very must. I cannot express enough how nice they were and how great the food is. We were here for four nights and we ate there for two of them. If you like calamari it's not enough for a dinner but it made it a great appetizer unbelievably fresh..
Restaurant was almost empty as we ate an early lunch. Our table overlooked he beach and ocean. Beautiful position and lovely venue. Greek and seafood menu with an ice covered fresh fish table on entry and a selection offered with excellent explanation of options and prices. We chose scorpion, red mullet and snapper. Fresh fish grilled was delicious. Octopus was best I think I've eaten. Greek salad was a good size, excellent quality ingredients and really well dressed with a beautiful green olive oil. Service was attentive however we did have to ask for things that should've been managed better like an empty glass being filled or another drink ordered. A definite go to for anyone visiting Thira.
Me and my friends have had dinner here. We was welcomed by Ianis an fantastic waiter, very helpful and nice. He responded to all our questions and demands prompt and with a smile on his face. He made very nice food recommendation and wine seasoning. The fresh code fish was very tasty and fresh, the appetisers very flavoured and the salads amazing! Please don't visit Santorini without dining here! 💕
