We came in for a late night dinner so we missed out on the view. We can, however, vouch for the food & service. As recommended by a previous reviewer, the Pilgouri (appetizer) and the Meatballs (main course) were great. We also ordered the fried tomatoes, they were okay. In Santorini most places will charge you €1 or so for... More

Scala was our first stop in Santorini and we were not disappointed. Their fava was particularly lovely as was everything else we had. Great staff, service and view.

Great menu, with selection of some different Santorini food, we really enjoyed the Pilgouri - cracked wheat, with fresh vegetables, marinated in wine, and accompanied by yoghurt. Also tried and can recommend the baked feta, octopus in vinsanto, and the soutzoukakia (cumin flavoured meatballs)

On a plaza overlooking the Aegean, the Skala is a wonderful place to eat. We started with bread and olive oil, a fava bean dish that resembled hummus but tasted like yellow lentils, we had fried cheese with olives and greek salad as well as a green salad. The main dishes were lamb with potatoes and carrots or veal with... More

The hotel recommended to try out Skala for dinner. We did, and it did not disappoint. The food was authentic, and good value. We asked the waiter to recommend some dishes. He basically said not to worry about it and chose our appetizers, entrees. Everything we got was so flavourful. To end the night, we had baklava. SO good. If... More

Fabulous views, great food, good service and overall a very pleasant visit. We had read about this place prior to visiting Oia off our cruise ship and were not disappointed. The portions were quite good and prices too were not bad considering we were in Greece and the fantastic views! I would recommend this place.

The view is nice over the caldeira. The food was great, original dishes and good wines. The waiter was helpful and talkative. We liked it.

Since the early 1990s, we are visiting Santorini every summer from NYC. Needless to say we have a short list of our favorite hotels, restaurants and bars that we hang out every year. Skala has been on top of our list all these years, offering: - Best view of the caldera, from all other Oia restaurants. - Delicious, traditional, home-made... More

We had a lovely meal here. Very nice traditional Greek food, great views overlooking the water. It was a bit hard to get the waiters attention and quite a few things on the menu were unavailable. We went on a Wednesday and apparently they are closed on a Monday so they don't order until the next week. Didn't make sense... More
