I Fratelli - Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Chersonissos

A Slice of Italy in the Heart of Malia

When it comes to authentic Italian pizza and pasta, this restaurant is a must-visit in Malia. The cuisine is so genuine, it's easy to forget you're in Greece and not on a bustling street in Rome or Naples.

The pizza, with its crisp edge and beautifully fluffy center, is topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients that create a delightful harmony of flavors. The pasta is cooked to perfect al dente and is accompanied by homemade sauces that spread an enticing aroma and are a treat to the palate.

The bill came to no more than €55 and I was pleasantly shocked and confused because I would of paid 3 times that price without being surprised in the slightest. I highly highly recommend visiting this place. Anyone around the Heraklion-Sisi area in Crete should definitely go to Malia just...

This is a MUST visit if you’re in or around Malia. We found this restaurant on our first night and have been back for either a full three course meal or just drinks and dessert for 8 days straight. The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly, with fans keeping you cool. The decor of the whole place, including the toilets is brilliant. The food is very generous portions and fantastic value for money. The staff...where do I start... George & Marlyn aswell as the owners and all other staff are excellent at what they do, they are the BEST hosts, they all speak very good English and understand the English “banter”. Their local knowledge has been very helpful and has made our holiday ten times easier. The staff have made our holiday. We thank you so much. We will be...
