New restaurant so it hasn't been established yet. We read that it was managed by two famous chefs and decided to try it. It ended up being one of the best meals we ever had. Fresh, delicious , nicely presented. The pasta with the beets was exceptional.!!
Also not very expensive. A must try!!

We came to this restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel, as Koukoumavlos was booked up and Assyrtiko was co-created by the chef from Koukoumavlos.

We had a reservation at 8pm as to catch the sunset which happened around 8:15pm. The view is good, though the view towards Oia is partially occluded by other restaurants in front. The view towards the sunset and the islands though was unobstructed and a great view overall. Even with an 8pm reservation, we were one of the first tables being seated, though the place started hopping by 8:45 or so.

The food was overall excellent. The grilled vegetables and fava bean starters were great. My entree of lamb shoulder was marvelous, both tender and having excellent flavor. To wrap up we had two desserts - panna cotta with cherry tomatoes and mint, and a chocolate mousse wafer cake with mango-jasmine ice cream. Both were excellent.

If I were in Fira again, I'd definitely be heading back or trying the sister restaurant Koukoumavlos.

The Asirtico restaurant was recommended to us by locals and we spent our last evening there after coming back from a sunset cruise. The owner and his family are very nice and friendly and have an outstanding service attitude. The food was absolutely delicious, the octopus risotto for instance was outstanding.
All in all a fantastic rather upscale place, where you definitely will not be disappointed!

We only visited Fira for one day during our 4 nights in Santorini, but oh boy, was I pleased to find this restaurant !!!

Truly fantastic.

The waiter was awesome, friendly and welcoming. We sat on the open terrace / balcony with views out over the sea, and it was in the shade which was fantastic because it was a HOT day.

The food was just wonderful. We had a selection of meze starters only - mackeral with ouzu, bean dip with homemade bread, and meatballs. The presentation was equivalent to what I would expect from a 5* London hotel, and the final bill didn't make me fall off my chair either as it was worth every euro / cent.

We asked our waiter to recommend a dry white wine, and he recommended a wine that was just spot on.

Definately seek this place out - I am just sorry that I was not able to come here for a dinner, as I think it would have been out of this world.
