Mediterraneo Original Italian Food (former Astacos Family Restaurant) — Restaurant in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

THE REVIEWS WERE RIGHT - DO NOT GO

The worst meal I’ve had in years – avoid this place at all costs.

Staff weren't wearing correct hygiene PPE, on phones more than checking with customers. Staff were very rude and the price is MASSIVELY over what it should be, way more than normal. Go to the hotel down the road and get their €5 gyro, it's well worth it.

We ordered bruschetta, a pizza, and a pasta carbonara. What arrived bore no resemblance to what was described on the menu. Our mains even accidently came out before our starter did, with our pasta main being left out on the side getting cold. Staff were undressing in the restaurant, taking clothes off. It was an absolute mess. I've never seen so many customers so unhappy with their orders.

The “bruschetta” was literally TWO slices of plain bread with melted cheese and a dab of garlic – nothing like actual bruschetta. (We actually added the cheese ourselves)

The “spicy pizza” was the blandest, most flavourless pizza I’ve ever eaten. Soggy, cheap ingredients, no spice whatsoever.

The carbonara was an oily mess, swimming in grease, completely inedible.

When we raised these issues at the end of the meal, the staff admitted fault by offering us a free dessert and coffee – which we declined because the mains were so poor. We asked for the bill to be adjusted (a reasonable request since both mains were awful), but they flat-out refused and still charged us the full €49.

When I explained that this was “the worst food I’ve had in a very long time,” the waiter became defensive and upset that I hadn’t complained “mid-meal” – yet at no point did anyone check in to ask if the food was okay, which we tried to call over staff but were told to wait. Another table waited over 10 minutes for salt to arrive.

This was a total tourist trap: overpriced, terrible quality, and arrogant service. Corfu has so many wonderful restaurants – this is not one of them. Save your money, your time, and your stomach – go...

• AVOID * Poor service through out. Food took ages to arrive, the waiter was often on his phone or in the kitchen away from customers. Took a silly amount of time to get him to attend our table. Food was absolutely awful. It didn’t match anything as described on the menu. The food was tasteless, the garlic was was clearly from a jar & nothing tasted fresh. The carbonara didn’t have ANY sauce and was caked in oil & pepper. I asked for Parmesan and was charged €2. They initially had none available and had to ‘find’ it. This means there wasn’t any in the dish either. Upon complaining we were told to pay the full amount. The waiter was dismissive and said the price would not change. The open kitchen enabled me to see a male staff member with his top off. A female with her hair down. It didn’t appear hygienic. I noticed other people faces of disappointment when their food came. It’s massively over priced for very poor cheap ingredients. Nothing authentic about this Italian. It was extremely disappointing and from a number of previous reviews the owner is completely incapable of recognising the need for change &...

This Mediterranean restaurant has an amazing location.

Parking is the area is plentiful and easy. The place has multiple steps and is not wheelchair accessible. Payment can be completed cash or card.

I hope this review will change company policy and educate the people in question to master the skill to prepare a dish and treat the guests like restaurant guests should be treated.

The menu looks nice but does not live up to the words they print. The prices are normal to low but for what you get the prices are quite high.

When I ordered a olive starter they give us only one stick. When i asked information twice about the toilet the lady didn’t even look up from her phone.

The dishes we ordered took a normal amount of time to prepare and where quite unpleasant to finish. The pasta with mussels was very salty probably to mask the fact that is was not fresh and the calzone pizza I ordered was a joke and was decorated with extremely dry and sharp oregano which was completely unnecessary since the terrace is very windy.

I wouldn’t...
