Mateo Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Rhodes

Nestled in the heart of old town, Mateo restaurant is a charming, family-owned restaurant that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted like old friends, making us feel right at home. The cozy decor, complete with quaint, rustic touches, added to the intimate, homely vibe that’s perfect for a relaxing meal with loved ones.

There are not enough words to describe how this was probably threat Greek food we had while in Greece!

Location is nice on a side street.

Other tables seemed more pleased with food so perhaps we were unlucky...
