Εcπέρια — Restaurant in Municipality of Kalamata

A memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. We were recommended to go there (by my parents of all people who had visited years ago) for some nice pizza. It was summer Saturday night kind of busy (very)but in all fairness it is potentially a good location with a nice sea view on another time/day. It goes south from here I m afraid as service was atrocious. Worst I have experienced in recent years, and certainly in Greece. 20min wait for the menu to arrive. Which was literally One physical menu to be shared between our party of 7. Order was taken another 15min later by a guy who was on the verge of a panic attack. Waiting staff running around like headless chickens, asking clients if the tray they are carrying contains anything they could have possibly ordered. Pure comedy show. 30min after the order, the wine arrived, only to be the wrong bottle, chap offering his next best after the one we had ordered.. for the same price. No wine glasses to be seen, a pair arrived 3 min later, and when we eventually got another chap to bring some more, he brought a tray full of glasses saying “in case you break them”. This is at Faulty Towers levels now. We are now 1hr5’ after we have sat down, and we are getting main dishes one by one, but no pizzas. On enquiry, our “Manuel” is telling us that the oven is too small for the orders, and that they have an ingenious queuing method, which means our pizzas will be arriving shortly. 10min later, while others had finished with their meal, 3 god awful deep pan base fried pizzas arrive. There were some adorable kittens running around the place, and we all agreed that was the best part...

I visited it during August for my sister’s birthday. The restaurant was full when we arrived at 23:00. We waited for 10’ and the waiters prepared a table for 6 of us. we ordered the big mixed platter which was fair amount of mixed fish and meat food. The food was fresh and tasty and we really enjoyed the beautiful environment by the sea. The staff was helpful and kind. The price was fair for the amount of food. We also ordered bifteki stuffed with feta cheese which was huge and delicious. We are definitely visiting this one again. It was worth every minute we waited to be seated. Thank you and...

The food was not bad but it was not good either. We ordered a pizza, a burger and french fries. The pizza was okay especially for the price but the burger was absolutely disgusting. The cheese had not melted, the bread was not fresh and the meat was not tasteful. The french fries needed more seasoning and they were neither crunchy nor crispy instead they were soggy and floppy. The service was kinda slow even though the restaurant was not busy. We had to ask for the menus and for paper towels. The place was mainly surrounded by older people and music was not playing as a result...
