Talk a walk off the beaten track (actually on the way to Akri), and stop at Il Destino. They are new to Skala this year and if they continue the way they have started, you won't be able to get a table here. Small teething problem sorted out (chips are not roasted potatoes), and we were away. I have a... More

We went here 3 times in 2 weeks alone and with friends and EVERY time had a great meal. Service was excellent, waitresses and head MD lady were always lovely would spend time explaining exactly what was in the dishes and what was the dish of the day. After our first visit she remembered what we and our friends had... More

So, let's ignore the stench of decaying sewage that drifts up from the sewage under the restraunt. let's ignore the fact it's overpriced and the fact that we had to ask for glasses to go with the bottle of water we ordered. We have tried this restaurant several times over the last few years and on every occasion Ben disappointed... More

Agree with last post, the restaurant has the potential to be very good but is let down by the really bad level of customer care. We waited about twenty minutes before they took our order and then waited over an hour between starter and main course. The starter, parmasan and parma ham was really good, table wine was fine too.... More

food was wonderful- so fresh and tasty- really excellent. But and this is the massive but, the first time service was shakey- left for long time, [even when working on greek times] things forgotton. We gave it another go as the food was so good. Maybe it was a bad night, but the service was awful- people had walked out,... More

What a super Italian restaurant. We decided to try something a bit different this evening as we love italian food. Avery modern restaurant, clean and lovely decor. We got a table straight away. We had a nice Greek white wine, delicous brushcetta as a starter and a winderful chix pasta dish, and the staff were very friendly and attentitive. Prices... More

We had eaten here before and were therefore happy to re-visit. What a shock. Initially they were not very busy so we were amazed to have to wait 40 minutes for our food - we only wanted a main course. Our garlic bread - ordered to arrive WITH our main pasta dishes, arrived early but was sent back to be... More

We have been going to Skala for the last 9 years, and the last 4 or 5 years we have been to Il Destino. This year we were very disappointed with the food. It used to be very high quality - but this year was stodgy and unappetising. One of us had spagetti with bolognese - which had virtually no... More

Lovely food and restaurant. woukd recommened! waitresses work very hard. My only critisism was that I found the owner to be a bit distracting watching very carefully what the waiters do, made me feel nervous for them!

This is a spacious restaurant with very comfy seating and chandeliers! I would say it's an Italian with Greek influences rather than an authentic Italian restaurant, for example there's no prosecco on the wine list. That said, the portions are large and the food is bursting with flavour, although my pizza was disappointing. Prices are on a par with most... More
