Stratos Pizzeria Restaurant — Restaurant in Antiparos Municipality

I visited this trattoria with a local friend during my first day in Antiparos. I was satisfied but I feel there was also room for improvement.

The restaurant is located in the center of the Antiparos town, occupying the best looking patio in the area. There is plenty of space and the atmosphere is really nice, with local flora decorating the walls and nice wooden furniture.

We tried the egg pizza, Caesar's salad and various bruschettes. The food was nice, the ingredients were fresh and the portions were large enough to satisfy both my friend and me.

The prices were a bit higher than I consider reasonable, since I frequent similarly good or better restaurants that charge less for similar plates.

The service was unreasonably slow, considering there wasn't much traffic in the restaurant. I was constantly checking the time. This will be a very anxiety-inducing experience for anyone who plans to catch a ferry afterwards.

At some point, a wandering paliazzo performer entered the restaurant and started playing the accordion. This was nice and I enjoyed it but I thought it appropriate to mention that street performers of all kinds could enter. Afterwards a beggar also entered the restaurant. This is not a common occurrence in Greece, this business in particular is just too lax on entrance control, probably due to being understaffed.

All in all I enjoyed my time there, though I found many faults in this business. I will probably not go back for more when I visit...

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Experience

We were really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it was a big letdown.

First, the pizza was advertised as having mozzarella di bufala, but it clearly wasn’t – the cheese was nothing like what was promised. On top of that, the Greek salad came with just a tiny triangle of feta, which felt stingy and unbalanced.

Service was also disappointing. Although our waitress was super polite, she never asked if we preferred to pay by card or cash and just assumed we’d be paying in cash. When we said we didn’t have any, instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner got involved and was surprisingly rude.

We left feeling frustrated and unwelcome. Definitely not a place we’d return to...

We had great pizza and good wine at Stratos. The pizza was really excellent. The service was fast but not very inviting: our waiter put a bottle of warm wine on the table and walked away without showing us the bottle in advance or serving it. We had to ask for an ice bucket to bring it to a good temperature. At least the price was democratic, something which is difficult to find on the main street...
