My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience here. We have eaten at some awesome places in Cyprus but this was up there as our absolute favourite! The food and service were both fantastic! The seafood risotto and truffle pasta were both incredible - you could tell the ingredients were of high quality with care and effort put into the food. A lovely tiramisu topped off a really great dinner! Our waiter, Ciprian, was very nice and helpful - recommending our wine and pasta as we can be very indecisive! Definitely visit here!! 🙌🏼

We ate here on 3 occasions during our stay. The food is excellent and surprisingly for an Italian the chef wasn't shy in using fresh chillies in some of his dishes which were very enjoyable. A free starter of lightly battered vegetable and a complimentary drink at the end of your meal also added to the ambiance.

Having dined in the restaurant twice on our last visit to Paphos in 2014 we headed back on our first night of a weeks holiday. The restaurant was busy for a Wednesday evening around 8pm and we were offered a table at the front. Service during our visit was excellent as was the food. My wife and I both had starters and a main course - I had Spaghetti Carbonara with my wife having ricotta filled tortellini both dishes were excellent. We had a bottle of water a large Keo beer and a bottle of Pinot Grigot for €82 which is around £70 and similar to back home in Scotland. The owner not long after we arrived introduced himself and thanked us for coming along and was very attentive to all customers. On finishing our food and drinks he had a further chat with us and offered us a complimentary drink each….excellent. Whilst only in Paphos for 7 nights we will probably go back and we’ll worth it for the food and service….. cannot understand the recent negative reviews

The service was lovely and the owner seems to be a very welcoming gentleman. One point to mention as we work in hospitality: white wine was poored too much in the glass, for this hot weather you should poor less as it gets warm very quickly. We tried to stop the waiter when pooring and he could not understand the reason why. We chose to have as starter cozze which were exquisite, however our main courses (pasta carbonara and pasta con tartufo) were both overcooked, we could not finish the portions as the flavours were poorly combined (to much of everything). Pasta con tartufo was the most expensive and costs €18.50 which we expected to be absolutely good, however a big disappointment, is overpriced for the taste and quality, the taste was rather bitter due to too much truffle used. Pasta carbonara seems to be prepared with no eggs at all. Spent €73 and left dissatisfied. (€23 was the wine, which was good, but €50 for pasta which we didn't eat seems to be a lot.)

Travelled as a foursome (with friends) staying locally. We ate here week 1 and the food and service was great . Friendly staff and very tasty food. Sadly our second visit wasn’t such a great experience and despite the friendly staff our starters and main courses took ages . We waited nearly 45 minutes for our starters and by the time the main course was served it was gone 10pm and we’d lost our appetite. The staff kept telling us they sorry but I can’t help thinking they were lacking in staff in the kitchen as they appeared to have no idea how long things were taking and were unable to manage our expectations. Sad as the first visit was so good

The ambiance and staff were nice but the food was a bit disappointing. The bruschetta wasn’t very appetising, being more like melted cheese on a soft baguette, with little if any fresh tomatoes. Main course was Salmon which was huge but again not that tasty. It came with a skewer of oven cooked vegetables and sliced roast potatoes, which didn’t taste fresh. House wine was good but overall meal was lacking.

This restaurant is always a must when we visit Paphos, and after a 2 year gap in our visits due to Covid, it was so good to walk in to a very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. We ate here twice during our week long stay, and loved as always, the selection of food on the menu, and the quality of what Kiriakos and his staff serve. As well as beautiful meals, we were kindly offered complementary tempura vegetables as a starter, and a free shot at the end of the meal - lovely generous gestures.
Would recommend the Pollo Sorpresa, though my husband always swears by the many varied pizzas, and an Affogato as dessert adds a luxurious end to the meal

Staff were nice and inviting, service started out well. We were virtually the only customers, but our order of a pizza and a spicy chicken breast took over half an hour to be served. The food was nice, but it was a good job to my wife needed help with the pizza as the chicken wouldn’t have fed a hungry child. Expensive for what you get.

Thank you for your review.
Personally, a firm believer that there is something to gain from all type of reviews.
Would only, in all due respect quote that the fact of a quality restaurant is the "lazy flow" of the dishes. As mentioned you was the only guests at the time and we could serve and complete very quickly but considered that you would like to have a relaxing dinner after all a chicken takes so much less time and the chicken breast is very typically sized in all establishments.
Thank you for your time to allocate a review

After looking for a good Italian restaurant & reading the reviews on here we are so glad we tried this restaurant.
Waiters are friendly & helpful when helping you choose, both our main courses were lovely, my other half does an amazing home made lasagne so always feel disappointed when I order it from a restaurant but not this time and even he admitted he was beaten by this one.
Lovely complimentary Bailey to finish the meal was a nice touch
Great meal in a lovely atmosphere, would recommend a visit

This is my 3rd trip to Cyprus and without a doubt the best parts of my trip have been times spent enjoying the super fresh seafood risotto and pasta dishes as well as the fantastic atmosphere here at this genuinely Italian privately owned restaurant.
The warmth of the welcome
The quality of the food
The complimentary snacks and drinks
The reasonable prices
Easy to park nearby
All reasons why I visit at least 2 or 3 times every time I visit.
Once I have had my evening meal here I am set for the evening.
Thank you to all of the staff.
I am in the restaurant now and already looking forward to my next visit and future trips to Cyprus with friends so that I can impress them.
All of the customers including families look delighted as they leave and are thanked by staff.

W went at seven o'clock on a Monday evening and the place was already almost full. Menus delivered quickly and drinks order taken ^& delivered quickly, Bit of a wait until our order was taken and then came the wait. Ninety minutes infact before our mains arrived.
My partner's seafood linguine was a gelatinous mess while my cannelloni was quite tasteless. Despite not being able to deal with their seated clientele, they were still taking people in as we were leaving.

What a wonderful meal we enjoyed at this restaurant. The fact that every table was full speaks volumes, the food and service was top notch. I ordered penne pasta with tomatoes, pepperoni and italian ham,it also included chillies which gave the dish a spicy kick...it was probably the best pasta dish i have ever eaten. The local wine, liquer coffee and complimentary glass of brandy topped off a great evening. A word for the owner/manager also, what a friendly and engaging man, he was very pro-active in ensuring everybody enjoyed their visit. Thank you.

Over the years we have walked along this restaurant thinking it looks nice but we didn’t really fancy Italian and unfortunately for that reason we carried on walking. However having wanting a change from local cuisine and the usual restaurants along the harbour we decided To go somewhere different. We fancied a change, And what a change it was!!!
Fantastic service from start to finish, the food on all levels was exceptional from my house recommended pizza of which was stunning with the added green chillis to the seafood squid ink pasta.
Overall the experience, food and the professionalism from the whole team was fantastic it was one if not the best meal we’ve eaten in Paphos for the many years we’ve been coming. Such a shame that we hadn’t found it before!
It always goes to show that the restaurants that you sometimes walk past and think maybe 🤔 are in fact the hidden gems.
Faultless!

This is a casual, cosy restaurant with very pleasant staff and good, well priced wine. But if you want authentic Italian cuisine this is not the place to come.
The bruschetta, a simple Italian classic, bore no resemblance at all. It was just heavy bread rolls with two chunks of tomato on top, lost in a blob of cheese.
My ‘deep fried’ Camembert ( a very Italian cheese!) was bland, tasteless and did not appear to have seen a deep fat frier. The outsides were soft and flaccid and not at all crispy. Much was made of the homemade raspberry couli, which was very nice, leading me to wonder how homemade the uniformly perfectly shaped cheese triangles actually were.
Many of the mains are served in a creamy sauce or smothered in mozzarella- or both. I found a chicken in sweet chilli sauce, which was nice, but in no way memorable. The vegetables were cooked well, as were the deep fried vegetables served as a chef’s treat. They were crisp and delicious, only confirming my suspicion of what deep fried food actually tastes like.
My husband had tortellini which again was pleasant but no more than that. He wasn’t expecting it to be smothered in mozzarella and oven baked, which made the consistency rather heavy,
The service was very good, as the staff are very friendly and helpful. The portions are generous so you won’t leave hungry, but if you’re after really good authentic Italian flavours, go elsewhere.

We went to this restaurant as a family of 6 adults for dinner as we got recommended by a couple who were eating in there as we walked past them the night before. They said they had visited Cyprus for 15 years and had been to the restaurant every time.
When we arrived we were asked nicely to pop back in 20 minutes by the manager so they could prepare the table, which we did.
We sat down and was told that there would be a wait for the mains as it was really busy, which we thought was reasonable and actually we weren’t in any rush.
Our drinks were ordered quite quickly, however we waited about 30 minutes for them to come to order our meals. We then waited about 45 minutes before the starter arrived and by this time the ‘reasonable’ wait was no longer reasonable. We then waited another 45 minutes after eating our starters for our main meals to arrive and that was after I had asked them where our meals were.
When our meals eventually came, the waiter looked at one of our guests in the most dirty way when she tried to be helpful and take her dinner from him. Three of us ordered lasagne, which was very poorly presented and I can only describe it as basic. It was a small slice on a large plate and accompanied by a very small serving of basic salad, which consisted of iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato. The lasagne wasn’t cheap at €17 and taste wise it was no more than average. I would say it wasn’t worth more than £8, it was that bad and I’ve had better ready meals. The other meals were again no more than basic and way over priced.
All in all it was very overpriced, staff (bar the manager who was nice) didn’t seem very interested and the food taste was below average. Every place has an off day and this was definitely an off! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

First of all, when you learn to tell the truth! you changed the order 2 times! because your daughter wasn't feeling well you canceled 2 meals and then you told me you wanted them! I really should have looked at what you canceled! but because you were a family and I wanted you all to eat together, I ordered them again! and that took the longest! I told you that the food would be a little late because the restaurant was full and you said that it doesn't matter! we have 2 big menus outside the restaurant, everyone can see the prices and then come inside for dinner! I don't know if in your country the products have not become more expensive here! anyway! thanks to people who understand what i mean!
