Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately struck by the enchanting atmosphere. The decor is meticulously designed, creating a warm and inviting environment that’s visually perfect even when the place is bustling with diners. However, timing is crucial if you plan to dine here, especially for dinner, as you might find yourself waiting in a long queue to get a table—this in itself speaks volumes about the restaurant's popularity. Once seated, we were greeted by an incredibly polite and professional staff. They were consistently smiling and attentive, ensuring that we felt welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. It's hard to find such impeccable service these days, and the staff here truly set the bar high for hospitality. Unfortunately, despite the stellar ambiance and service, the food did not live up to expectations. The pizza with multiple cheeses—or as the Italians might call it, Quattro Formaggi—was a major letdown. Lacking flavor, it felt like a bland imitation of what should have been a rich, cheesy delight. Moreover, about 30% of the pizza, specifically the outer crust, was nearly inedible due to its extreme dryness. We were disappointed to leave so much of it untouched on our plates. The macaroni with tuna also failed to impress. While it was edible, it was far from memorable—certainly not the kind of dish you would expect to linger in your memory long after the meal. Considering the restaurant's pricing, which leans towards the higher end, the underwhelming taste of these dishes was even more disappointing. Adding to the mixed experience, this was the most expensive dinner we have had on the island. To top it off, it was the only restaurant where we were explicitly asked for a tip, which felt a bit out of place given the overall quality of the food. In conclusion, this restaurant excels in atmosphere and service—truly a beautiful setting with an outstanding team. However, the food leaves much to be desired, especially considering the high prices. If you're looking for a place with great vibes and excellent service, this might be worth a visit, but be prepared for a potentially underwhelming culinary experience.

We recently visited Il Borgo restaurant in Rhodes, and our experience was simply outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel instantly comfortable. The restaurant’s ambiance is elegant and inviting, with excellent decor that blends traditional and modern elements. The menu was rich and varied, focusing on traditional Italian flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients. We tried several dishes, and they were all exceptional. The pasta was fresh and well-cooked, with authentic sauces that highlighted the flavors. The pizza, in particular, impressed us with its perfect baking and excellent toppings. The wine list was superb, with many choices from Italy and local producers. The staff was attentive and well-informed, always ready to suggest the right wine to accompany our meal. The dessert was the perfect finish to an extraordinary culinary experience. We had the sweet calzone, and it was simply delightful, with the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Overall, Il Borgo is one of the best restaurants we have visited in Rhodes. We highly recommend it if you want to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine in a wonderful setting with superb service.

The boss, AKA my wife wanted this restaurant. Just to put it aside, amazing genuine Italian pizza. We had a red and white pizza. That was the good part. “Homepage” is a link to FaceBook. Not interested. So we couldn’t reserve a table to my knowledge. Came to the restaurant around, or before peak hour, around 19:00. Met with a friendly face and got seated after only waiting 5 ish minutes. Then the fun begins: QR code to see the menu. No instructions neither from the waiter, nor from the “APP” on how to order as we had no table number. After a few minutes, we got hold of a waiter, and could order drinks. Got the drinks quickly and ordered the food. The waiter(s) got lost in space. And when the young couple next to us, who were seated after we were seated, finished their dinner before our meal came to our table, I requested the waiter to check our order. He came back quite quickly; “4 minutes”. 15-20 min later, our Pizza’s arrived. Clearly someone made a mistake. No apologies. Check and “complimentary” drinks were brought to the table before we finished our meal. We didn’t even as for the bill. “The manager” stopped by and asked how we experienced the food and service. We told him the above. “Shake hands and all good” I don’t expect much from a restaurant in Rhodes city. But sorry, this is poor service and poor management. When a customer present an experience like this, you bend over and apologize. You even “throw a bone” to the customer. Food excellent, service and management “0”

What an amazing Italian restaurant located in the old town of Rhodes. What makes it even better are the old streets with old Decoration, what gives you the feeling you are dining in Italy. It makes the 5 stars worth with the amazing food you get there. We had a starter bruschetta caprese and as main course tagliatelle Alfredo and a white pizza pancetta with pistacchio cream. White pizza's are very popular now a days in Italy and they taste even better then the originals in my opinion. The waiters are super kind, people where you can have a good chat with. I want to give Ilias some Credits who helped us that night. I recommend to do a reservation 1-2 days before. The restaurant is always full and we didnt made a reservation what causes we hat to wait almost an hour in front of the restaurant. Not to blaim the restaurant because its very good food and atmosphere. We will be there soon again with reservation 😬! Greatings Lorenzo & Angela from the Netherlands.

Πρώτη φορά στο Il Borgo. Κάναμε κράτηση γιατί χωρίς κράτηση δεν βρίσκεις. Έριξε μια ωραία βροχούλα όσο καθόμασταν και έκανε την ατμόσφαιρα αρκετά ειδυλλιακή, την ευχαριστηθήκαμε. Στα συν: Πολύ ωραίος χώρος, ειδικά το κομμάτι πάνω από τον δρόμο. Οι βοκαμβίλιες στην οροφή έδιναν πολύ στην ατμόσφαιρα. Οι σερβιτόροι πολύ εξυπηρετικοί. Ίσως επιτηδευμένα ευγενικοί, γιατί τέτοιες εντολές έχουν, αλλά δεν είμαστε παράλογοι να παραπονεθούμε για υπερβολική ευγένεια. Ίσως ένα τσακ πιο χαλαροί να είναι, φαίνονται πιεσμένοι. Στα πλην: Ωραίο φαγητό μεν, πήραμε τα ravioli funghi Al Tartufo, τα Tagliatelle Pollo e Camberi, μια green σαλάτα, μια κοκα κολα και μια μπυρα. Για αυτά, δώσαμε σχεδόν 60€. Ήταν ωραία; Αρκετά. Άξιζαν 30€ το κεφάλι; Όχι. Παρόλο που είχαμε κράτηση και υπήρχαν 5 τραπέζια άδεια, μας έδωσαν ένα από τα δυο που ήταν ακριβώς μπροστά στην κουζίνα και προφανώς ζητήσαμε να αλλάξουμε γιατί είχε πολύ φασαρία και διερχόμενους (καλό θα ήταν να μην υπάρχουν καν αυτά τα τραπέζια εκεί). Τα τραπέζια γενικά ήταν αρκετά στριμωγμένα, αν απλώσεις το χέρι χαϊδεύεις την κοιλιά του διπλανού. Δεν είχαν οι σερβιτόροι pos για να πληρώσεις στο τραπέζι και έπρεπε να πας μέσα στο μαγαζί, στην άλλη άκρη (στα παγωτά) για να πληρώσεις με κάρτα. Όταν είσαι μαγαζί με όνομα και έχεις τιμοκατάλογο με μέσο όρο το κεφάλι 30-45€, δεν στέλνεις τον πελάτη να πληρώσει μέσα λες και είναι σε σουβλατζίδικο. Ο διαβολος κρύβεται στις λεπτομέρειες. Φοβερή παραφωνία στην πολύ καλή συμπεριφορά όλων των παιδιών που δούλευαν στην βάρδια, ήταν η κοπέλα στο ταμείο που έπρεπε να πάμε για να πληρώσουμε με κάρτα. Εξελίσσεται ο εξής διάλογος: Σερβιτόρος: «Οι κύριοι είναι από το Νο. 8, για να πληρώσουν» Κοπέλα στο ταμείο: «δεν πειράζει, θα περιμένουν» Εντάξει, σε καταλαβαίνω. Έχετε πολύ κόσμο, μόλις έβρεξε, είστε σε μια σύγχυση όλοι. Έχει πολλή δουλειά. Δεν μιλήσαμε καν όταν ήρθαμε σε σένα, προφανώς και θα περιμέναμε να τελειώσεις με τους πελάτες που είχες μπροστά σου. Εσυ, χωρίς να ξέρεις αν είμαστε Έλληνες ή όχι, γυρνάς στο συνάδελφο σου, δυνατά, και του λες με ύφος «θα περιμένουν» ; Πιο πολύ διασκεδάσαμε όταν το ακούσαμε, γιατί δεν θέλαμε να κάνουμε θέμα και να χαλάσουμε το βράδυ μας. Παραμένει όμως άκομψο, ερασιτεχνικό σαν συμπεριφορά και δεν ταιριάζει στο ύφος του μαγαζιού, και σε κανένα μαγαζί εδώ που τα λέμε, ειδικά αν ο πελάτης δεν σου έχει δημιουργήσει πρόβλημα. Γενικά ένα 3/5 στο μαγαζί, μπορεί να πείτε «κλασικός Έλληνας που κατέβηκε από το χωριό του και κάνει και κριτική» αλλά α) δεν είμαστε όλοι κλασικοί που πίνουμε ένα φρεντακι για 4 ώρες κρατώντας το τραπέζι και β) και κάτι να κρατήσετε από τα παραπάνω, καλό θα είναι.

I was going to buy bubble tea at this shop, when I was trying to choose the flavor I noticed that the store staff was staring at me so after I have already decided what to order I approached him and as I was going to talk to him he just looked away. That was really weird store service for me and so I just left the store and bought me a drink somewhere else. I think he was probably a queer and he got shy when I was going to talk to him or probably he does not want to sell to a xeno like me but it was really a terrible service coming from him. If you have a restaurant / shop then you definitely need to sell something otherwise you go broke. It was a shame that their shop is at the very entrance of Rhodes Old Town but I suggest that you just walk past this restaurant / shop because there is still a lot of stores / restaurant inside Rhodes Old Town to choose from.
