Μassa Ciao — Restaurant in Lemnos Municipality

We visited 2 days ago for dinner looking to taste the cuts in their menu. The atmoshere was very nice and we ordered black Angus sausage, the ewe tagliata, the Black Angus Tagliata, and when it came to the steat we took the owner's recomendation to order a 700 gr beef stake rather than the Tomahawk. He said this was Spanish Beef because local beef was not consistent in quality and quite often was very tough. All of them ordered medium rare. The sausage was nice though no one could say with confidence whether this was a black Angus one. The ewe tagliata tender and nice BUT it did not taste anything like ewe (???).

Finally, keftedakia were … burned. While most of the above can be subjective, the burned keftedakia case was factual. When it was mentioned to the owner he answered… “yes they are little more grilled but it is difficult to stop at the right...

We’ve been to this restaurant two years in a row the experience has stayed equally positive. Especially for any meat lovers out there it is a great place for a hearty meal. As we are a large group of people we’ve had almost every meat option in the menu and none of them have disappointed so far. The service is usually quick, the servers are knowledgeable and can give educated recommendations for the food. It can get quite noisy, due to the location but firstly 8 think that’s a great part of the place’s character and secondly we’ve never had trouble hearing each other or anything...
