While visiting Crete for 1 week, we looked for a nice local restaurant for dinner in the old town of Rethymno. Reviews were good for this one, so we decided to give it a try. We went there (without making reservation) with two more couples with children, totaling to 13 people. The staff were very kind, and quickly arranged a... More

We took several chances with the tourist trap restaurants in Rethymnon & then caved into checking TA given our disappointment. We specifically liked the reviews for Castelvecchio, but mostly we liked the owner's response to a critical reviewer. We can confirm that Castelvecchio stood out far above the other restaurants which we visited. Very much a generational family run restaurant... More

The views from the patio dining area are fabulous. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is cozy, relaxed, and very Mediterranean. We were part of a large group with advance reservations, so the staff was prepared for us and the service was excellent in all respects.

A very nice place, generous portions of food, very friendly service. Definitely will go there again.

Very traditional, family run restaurant. Beautiful location overlooking the whole town from the base of the fort. We were lucky to get in as it closed the day after (12th October).

We went to all of the top rated restaurants in Rethymnon and this was the best. The food is excellent. From the bread to the starters to the different main courses: it is all very good. Strong flavors and nicely cooked. Wines are pretty good given that they only serve Greek wines (as everywhere else). The only thing we didn't... More

Based on the favourable reviews chose to dine on a Sunday evening. Interesting menu and lots to choose from. However the food disappointing - lacking in balance and flavour. Service cordial, but overall stilted
