Ambience was nice but restaurant does not have variety of food options. And the menu was not even properly categorized. But drinks were amazing..i have ordered summer breeze and i really like its freshness..
We visited the restaurant during 2021 Christmas. This was one of the few restaurants open in Pyrgos. The owners (father and son) were very gracious in accommodating our dietary needs. Their menu was limited to what was in season. They cooked up a couple of salads and hearty dishes from their pantry (off menu dishes) and they were all delicious. They also asked us to call ahead of our return back to the area the following day so they could make a pasta dish and have it warm and ready for us! Absolutely will return if I am ever back in the area and highly recommend the restaurant.
Snagged some more saganaki while waiting near the bus stop across the street. Impossible to fake it, this place hasn’t stop producing. Hard to say what to get, but moussaka won’t disappoint. Also the tomatoes are a national treasure due to the volcanic soil.
Portions are huge and meat is delicious. Prices are kinda high but I think it doesn’t differ from other restaurants
Five star at least…
we came for dinner, lunch and again dinner and couldn’t be happier to eat the best lambchop ever, not mentioning the moussaka daily prepared by chef and dad Nectarios… we loved the tender and juicy chicken souvlaki, the Santorini salad… products are fresh, tasty and cooked with love. We definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back to Santorini to enjoy the pleasure of eating here at Kallisti Taverna
