A Culinary Delight with a View: Saffron Pasta Paradise I recently had the pleasure of dining at the charming restaurant that serves the best saffron pasta in town, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that set the tone for the entire evening. The star of the show was undoubtedly the saffron pasta - a dish that was as delicious as it was beautifully presented. The delicate strands of pasta were perfectly cooked and infused with the rich, aromatic flavors of saffron, creating a taste sensation that left me craving more with each bite. The portion size was just right, allowing me to savor every mouthful without feeling overly full. But it wasn't just the food that impressed me; the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. From recommending the perfect wine pairing to accommodating my dietary preferences, they truly went the extra mile to make me feel welcome and valued. And let's not forget the views! The restaurant's picturesque setting offered stunning vistas that provided the perfect backdrop to an already delightful meal. As I enjoyed my saffron pasta, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility and contentment as I gazed out at the breathtaking scenery. In conclusion, if you're looking for a culinary experience that combines excellent food, great customer service, and amazing views, look no further than this gem of a restaurant. Whether you're a foodie looking to indulge in a gastronomic adventure or simply seeking a memorable dining experience, this place has it all. I left with a full belly, a happy heart, and a new favorite dish - the saffron pasta. I can't recommend it highly enough!

The best meal we had whilst in Crete. We sat on the restaurant side on one of the sofa/benches. The waiter said it was his favourite seat and he preferred it to sitting on the ocean side because you can watch the people and still enjoy the sea and sunshine. Usually we would opt for a seat on the decking side so we can enjoy the ocean view, but we took his guidance and he couldn’t have been more hospitable. There was a lovely buzz around the restaurant with people coming and going, and food coming out of the kitchen regularly. Our meal was delicious. We had the sardines, salad, prawns and bread with a few beers and it was simply perfect in every way. If you are ever in the area, this is the restaurant to visit for a delicious lunch.

We wanted to try a local restaurant outside our hotel and one night ended up at this place, overlooking the ocean and mostly enjoyed it. The spreads, appetizers and salad were delicious, the main courses were just ok. We shared the squid risotto which was decent and a local fish that was ok. I wanted to add shrimps, which was no problem, but luckily my partner asked about the size of those…and after hearing “giant” we decided to only order two (instead of four). The waiter should have said something…they were gigantic indeed, more like small lobsters and four would have been too much. And…the price was 42 EUR per shrimp! My fault for not asking, but they should be a bit more forward with pricing.

Giovanni's offers not only an exceptional culinary experience but also a spectacular view of Spinalonga Island. Dining here provides a front-row seat to this breathtaking scenery, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. And the food, oh my! We were absolutely shocked by how amazing it was. Each dish was a revelation, and we couldn't believe how incredibly delicious everything tasted. It was truly a dining experience like no other, and I can confidently say I've never eaten so well. Combined with Giovanni's warm hospitality, a visit to Giovanni's is an unforgettable culinary journey.

We came to this restaurant on the recommendation from the hotel staff. The setting is nice at sea side. Plaka is quieter than Elounda and there is no traffic near the restaurant section. The food is very good. No complaint. The price is a bit higher than at Elounda for the same type of food. I guess setting has some value in this regard. I think there is more value and more selection at Elounda. But if you do not have transportation or do not have the time, then this place is good. The lady further down at another table is more enjoyable than the food....

I had dinner here on my birthday and it was an amazing experience. The attention of the staff is unique and the products are fresh and exquisite. We had the shrimps with garlic sauce and grilled mushrooms to start with and then the sea bass in salt and grilled red snappers. Everything was absolutely divine.The tavern has the unique view to Spinalonga. At the end of the evening I received, on top of the complimentary lemon sorbet and fruit, a big ice-cream cup with a candle for my birthday. We will definitely go back when we are in Greece.
