The Village Diner — Restaurant in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

tl;dr: Unless you really need to eat pizza in Corfu, there's better options around.

We gave this one a try twice.

First time we wanted to grab a coffee and a snack outside of busy hours and check out the menu to drop by again for dinner in the evening. Waiter told us he doesn't serve coffee even though it's on the menu. Restaurant was completely empty, guess he didn't want our money. We went across the street instead.

We still went a second time and ordered pizza, since reviews indicated that's the best thing on the menu. Portion sizes are huge even for the "medium" size. Dough was decently crisp, with tons of cheese. Mushrooms were canned, which is a shame since there were like six of them on a 40cm pie. Removed one star since our table was swarming with ants when we arrived.

The menu is a gigantic melange of everything including Seafood, Pizza and Sweet and Sour/Curried Pork and BBQ Ribs - You could probably drop half of it without anybody noticing.

I guess all things considered it's fine on the way back from the beach, but if you are looking for the "authentic greek food and fresh seafood" experience there's plenty of better options along...

Never have I ever had a worse customer service experience. The Diner advertises takeaway chicken or pork gyros for 3.5€. I ordered a pork gyros takeaway and waited almost 20 minutes. Despite standing at the counter with cash, I wasn’t asked to pay until the end. When I went to pay, the owner charged me 10€ claiming I had ordered the gyros plate. I advised that I had ordered a pork gyros takeaway and did not ask for a plate. I had ordered gyros throughout Greece and never been given a plate instead. Clearly they either want to make more money or there was some type of communication misunderstanding but instead of handling it appropriately I was practically abused. The owner took the money and did not want to refund the rest, stormed off and took down the specials board and put them out of sight so I could not show where the confusion arose. He practically threw my money back at me and took the food back. I would not recommend eating here and never, in my 10+ years working in hospitality, have I witnessed a misunderstanding...

Visited last summer.

Great pizza to-go, sadly they seem to not want people to eat in if you aren't ordering a full course in a large company.

The larger companies seemed to recieve great service, but our waitress rolled her eyes at our order (20-25€ per person, no special requests, fast ordering) and we were not met with any warmth we saw the others getting.

We asked for bread with our meal and didn't get it in our hour long stay at the restaurant, even though they were handing out bread to every single other table. We did not have any issues at any other restaurant close by, so it was for sure a bit weird.

The food we ordered came fast though, and tasted great. And once again, the pizza to-go we tried later is great for bringing back to the hotel of choice, if the slightly more eastern european-style pizza is something you enjoy. Also a very...
