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...

I wouldn't comment the prices, that is not the problem with this restaurant. One is people that work here, another is the food itself. Feta cheese which is one of my favorite, here is very bitter, not only my opinion. When I said that to the waiter, another one from Serbia came ( I am a Serb also) and asked very rude what is wrong...leaning towards us with both hands on the table. Later, he came once more telling that cheese is fine, not even an excuse not even a spot of kind behavior. We felt very very awful here because this restaurant is nothing but the middle food restaurant here in Crete. For example, two days ago in Giomo I left a tip of 25 € just because of delicious food and nice people, but here I did not tip them at all. These people have to realize that the customer should be respected especially if they can some day save those people lifes for example....cause I am an anesthesiologist and looking every of my patients equally and with great respect....you...

We stayed at the nearby Autograph Collection and walked about 10 minutes to Giovanni’s Restaurant. We ordered four dishes and drinks — seafood risotto, seafood pasta, grilled octopus, and the Giovanni salad. Everything was delicious, including the beer and fresh juice! The total was around €110, which was very reasonable for the quality and quantity. It was perfect for our family of two adults and two kids.

After the meal, they kindly offered us complimentary cake and watermelon. The staff even fed leftover bread to the fish in the sea, which our kids absolutely loved watching! They also had baby chairs, which made dining with little ones very comfortable.

The view was stunning — we even saw a rainbow over the sea. 🌈 The staff were incredibly friendly and made our children smile throughout the meal. Highly recommend this place for families and anyone looking for a memorable seaside...
