Diogenes Cafe — Restaurant in Municipality of Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades

We arrived in Naxos a bit bedraggled, and I violated one of my travel rules about grabbing a meal at the first place we saw close to a port/town square/tourist attraction. But Diogenes Cafe, for all its excellent location and well-priced cocktails is so much more than meets the eye. First, not only the best pizza on Naxos, but one that nearly brought tears to my eyes as it recalled the pizza of my New York childhood (hard to find anything close to it in the States, even in NYC!) But what won our hearts was the staff. Denisa, who served us breakfast one morning, greeted us by name on our next visit, several days later.

My boyfriend and I stopped in for 2 drinks in the evening the short dark haired server was nice and accommodating at first however while we wanted to order a 3rd the three staff members were all on the street trying to pull more people in so after trying to get their attention after 15 mins we asked for the bill.
