Great food, great service. Not you ususally touristy place. A little hard to find, but worth it. We were given directions to the place but still had to stop and ask around. We went three times during our 8 day stay!

It isn't hard to find.Very nice ambience, best pasta I've ever had.House wine was really good.Salad dressed perfectly.Roka Was recommended to us by our wine tour host as best in Oia. It was very busy, people couldn't get in, and this is early season! Advise booking if possible. No view, is like dining in someone's garden, in a very good... More

It was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and good value for money. The service was very friendly and we even had some dessert on the house. This restaurant is frequented by locals and we had a genuine greek experience. We ate there twice and tried a good range of dishes. Good wine list! This was the best place we... More

This is a wonderful place with excellent authentic food. We went twice and ate loads of Mezedhes. The service is friendly and helpful with a good wine list. It is not on the Main Street but behind off a back street (there is a sign). It's not hard to find though. There's a terrace but it was too cold and... More

It was our first day on the island after arriving in the afternoon. We took the bus up to Oia and decided to try and find Roka after it had been recommended to us. Lovely local food and wine at a great price! Couldn't fault it! Nicely hidden away but with lovely views on the balcony, inside, or from the... More

If you're tired of paying high prices for a caldera view which, at night, is just a black hole, visit this place. Good food, good price and a warm atmosphere.

Excellent quality , warm service delightful portions. A little bit pricy but its worth it . It is placed in one of the traditional small paths of Oia. Easy to find and very close to the bus/taxi station

Roka was recommended to us, what a beautiful, rustic place, great food and service. We tried Mediterranean salad with lentils, feta, olives, cherry tomatoes, and coriander; Mushrooms in sweet wine; Sausage spetzofai with peppers and tomato ; Shrimp saganaki and Greek potatoes. Everything had wonderful flavours, especially the mushrooms - a must!

Delicious food where it was obvious locals came. A bit hard finding this place (not many tourists headed this way) but so glad we found it. Sit outside and the backdrop are some old homes, and it feels very local here. They have the best veal pasta--some of the best Ive had in my life. I would go back just... More
