I recently dined at Alkioni expecting an authentic Italian experience, but unfortunately, it was anything but that. The service was extremely disappointing from the start. When I asked the waitress about the menu, she had no idea what was available. I ordered pasta with zucchini, but what arrived was pasta with pesto. When I pointed this out to the waitress, she seemed clueless and had to ask the chef.
I then spoke with the chef, who explained that he added zucchini cream to the pesto instead of actual zucchini pieces, claiming that some customers prefer it that way. However, this wasn’t what I ordered, and the substitution was never communicated to me or on the menu.

Absolutely disgraceful customer service, they shouldn't allowed to run a business in such a hot spot or they should employ people that they actually work instead of...
Read moreOverall, a really good place, but let’s take a closer look:
The scenery is amazing with all those trees 🌲 making a shade and creating a cool environment for us to eat even when the sun is up and hot 🥵.
The view, depending on the hour of the day, is magical and I’m sure sunset is the best spectacle to see (see photos).
Now, about the food, we had a special pizza and a beetroot’s salad.
The salad was mouthwatering, though a bit more savory than my usual taste. Special pizza 🍕 was fair enough but nothing extraordinary.
Service was fair enough (even though salad came a bit after pizza arrived)!
Prices are almost normal for an everyday...
