Contessina Restaurant — Restaurant in Sami Municipality

Pizzeria „Contessina“, located in the charming heart of Sami on the island of Kefalonia, is an absolute hidden gem for pizza lovers! I had the great pleasure of enjoying an unbelievably delicious pizza here, which impressed me both in taste and price.

The pizza was simply perfect – with a crispy crust filled with delicious cheese. I have never experienced such a combination of crispy texture and melted cheese before!

Every ingredient was fresh and of the highest quality, and the cheese-filled crust was the ultimate highlight, making the pizza a truly unique experience.

The atmosphere is just as fantastic as the food: You sit right by the sea with a stunning view of the harbor of Sami.

The relaxed atmosphere, the sound of the waves, and the beautiful view make visiting Contessina an unforgettable experience.

For anyone visiting Kefalonia, a trip to this pizzeria is an absolute must.

Highly recommended – everything here is just...

The fact that anyone leaves positive reviews here is beyond me, the food is simply not edible. Even the fries tasted spoiled. And also there are a lot of flies and wasps everywhere. The worst...

It's a pretty restaurant on the main street with a nice view of the water. I came for a late lunch and the place was less than half full. The waiter told me to take any table and then vanished. Rather, he kept his attention focused on the diners at the outdoor section. It got to a point I had to step up to the counter and ask that my order be taken. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all. Once my order was taken the gentleman vanished once more. I declined to drink anything along with my meal but no water was provided. Other restaurants on the island had provided a glass of water. Disappointing waitstaff. Coming to the food. It was excellent. I had the beef stifado and it was beautifully cooked tender and just falling apart. I would return here to collect an order,...
