Alpino Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Municipality of Palaio Faliro

The tables outside were extremely dirty. I had to ask the waitress to clean my table after she had already set it and brought me water, bread and dips. The cloth she used had brown chunks of dirt on it after she cleaned the table, which by the way remained dirty. I had the octopus carpaccio which was mediocre at best, and a glass of the Ombre Rosė wine. When I asked for the bill, which I was going to pay for in cash, the waitress quoted the total without producing any type of receipt. I had to follow her inside the restaurant, where upon being asked again she went to get a cash register receipt. The total seemed a bit high according to my calculations, so I checked the receipt, where I discovered that I had been charged for bread setting for 2 people (€4) instead of one (€2) and €4 for a bottle of still water, which on the menu was €2. I brought the bread overcharge to yhe attention of the waitress,, who didn't even apologize, but just mumbled, "Oh, I must have rang it up wrong." She did refund me the difference for this. I didn't feel like getting the menu to show her the overcharge for the bottle of water at this point, so I just left it at that.

The past few years I have been extremely disappointed with restaurant service in Greece, as the practice of overcharging customers for things has become increasingly prevalent. It's usually small charges, so people don't notice, especially since itemized receipts are rarely given to customers. The customers who do notice often do not say anything, especially if they are Greek, because they feel embarrassed at making a fuss for a few euros. However, this is not ok, because tourists do notice and this is what gives Greece a bad name. This is not acceptable and restaurants should be called out on it. It's one of the times that I feel embarrassed to be Greek. I will not be returning to this restaurant and will also be telling others not...

19th of June 2021. A group of 4.

All of our choices (pasta, pizza 🍕 , stuffed 🍄, their own white wine) were really delicious. Every bite was tasty. Personnel was actually kind.

I will definitely come back soon to taste more of their dishes.

The garden has nice cool atmosphere under the trees, but we choose to seat inside the store, since it was a bit noisy from the cars at Poseidonos street.

Bonus ●It is really close to Marina Flisvos, so you can have a walk over there later. ●They have parking valet for your car.

It is mostly a local place where Greeks go for something different. We have had a second home in the area for many years but somehow we never went there so we were very happy to go on a warm summer evening this year. The positives are that the staff are delightful, we had a very good shared starter of beef carpacio and my husbands rigatoni pasta was very good, however, I ordered a chicken dish with fries, so I thought , ok I can maybe eat a few fries and enjoy the chicken. I was so shocked when a very nice sauce of chicken with peppers, came piled up on an mammoth plate of fries, literally piled on top, it was crude and vulgar beyond belief, something I have never experienced in even the worst Italian restaurants in London , who does that? It was something that a trucker would eat. I asked for another plate to separate the sauce from the fries. So many good things about this place, nice bread, lovely service, very good tasty sauces, refined in one regard but utterly terrible in another. I would advise stick to...
