The food is this place is delicious. Tastiest burger I've had. Friendly staff and quick service. The dessert my partner ordered was massive would probably be for sharing. We also sat at a table overlooking the ocean and other islands. Lovely setting.

Excellent atmosphere! Excellent food!! Excellent service!!! Highly recommend Petrosia when you’re in Oia! We tried three dishes. My favorite of all was the cauliflower but all three were truly delicious! The staff is so kind and gracious. Truly a wonderful experience!

Excellent food. This restaurant came highly recommended from a friend and the food didn’t disappoint. The Greek salad is out of this world and the fish we had wasn’t what we expected but it was delicious too. We are going back again for sure!!!!

Fantastic Restaurant: Exceptional Service and Food We ordered pita bread with spreads, grilled cauliflower, bucatini with seafood, and lamb chops. The pita and spreads, piping hot and fluffy, wafted the alluring scent of grill marks, providing an impeccable start to our evening. The cauliflower, with its beautiful, straightforward plating, emitted a grilled, smoky scent that assured a slightly crispy texture. Enhanced with lemon zest, salt, and parsley, the meaty texture of the cauliflower was emphasized in this well-executed dish. The bucatini with seafood was the highlight among the dishes. A piping hot plate with visible steam released a subtle umami hint mixed with the sourness of the tomato-based sauce. The al dente pasta and a slight crunch from the cuttlefish furnished the perfect texture for the dish, embodying the vibrancy of the sea on a plate. Unquestionably one of the best pasta dishes I've experienced, I couldn’t stop indulging. The umami flavor took center stage in this melody, with sourness and sweetness composing a stunning flavor profile. I highly recommend this dish with a 5/5 star rating. The lamb chop was satisfactory. While grill marks were present, the slices were too thin to preserve any of the lamb’s juice, making it difficult to slice. The mustard sauce leaned toward the sweet side, offering a slightly neutral flavor that complemented the gaminess of the lamb well. Overall flavors are ok and textures on point. Rating: 3.5/5 stars. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our evening!

Incredible views, comfortable atmosphere. The Greek salad is the best we've had in our two weeks in greece so far. Shrimp risotto was incredible. Highly recommend!

Loved our food here!! I have given 4 stars as the staff let it down. We didn’t get checked up on and We ordered a dessert at the end which never came. The waitress seemed quite salty when we didn’t give a tip.

Great location and views. Food and cocktails were very good. One of our favorite dinner spots while here in Santorini!

Stopped by for some refreshing white wine to take a break from the sun. The views are also quite nice from the seating area!

Overall very pleasant breakfast experience. Breakfast was nice and refreshing with a great mix of flavors. The service was great and staff were professional considering the fast paced touristy area they are situated in. This is a casual yet stylish and professional cafe/restaurant. If you enjoy good service and great food this is for you.

Wow! Alexios is a true gem of a restaurant! The food was excellent ( we had the smoked shrimp salad with lemon dressing) the location and view were stunning, and we cannot speak more highly of the exemplary staff and service. They were amazing and tended to our every need. A huge shout out to Bevy who set the tone when we arrived and made our experience extra special. We look forward to our return visit!

The food wasn't bad, however I was deeply disgusted by the service particularly I was deeply appalled by the waitress with long curly hair. She was the MOST rude and unmannered server I have ever seen. Her attitude and language have unreservedly exhibited her lack of proper education and training. She has no basic respect to her customers, more importantly SHE HAS DIFFERENT ATTITUDES TO DIFFERENTS CUSTOMERS WHO COME FROM DIFFERENT RACES. Drama: -My mum moved to the empty table next to us for a pic since that table was at the corner with a better view. -In the middle of the photo, this disgusting waitress came with a condescending attitude saying that my mum cannot sit there taking photo. Her attitude was like she's the boss, I'm her employer, she was lecturing me or commending me. - I then asked why? - Guess what, she replied bcz other customers will probably come to this table taking picture bcz they see we have taken pic. This is the most absurd reasoning I have ever heard. -Worth noting, minutes ago before my mum's photo, one caucasian lady took dozens of pictures at the same spot, but this waitress didn't interrupt her. - This waitress ugly double standard is nothing but purely discrimination. But sorry, I'm not the easy one who can be easily bullied. - As a customer who spent hundreds $$$ on ur food cannot even take a pic from your restaurant ? The view was perfect, however this waitress ruined the whole face of this restaurant. They experience to me was utterly negative, damaging and unpleasant. The owner urgently needs to properly hire and train staffs otherwise this will just ruin the reputation and sales of your restaurant. Santorini has so many good restaurants with perfect views, you are not the only one, if you really want to stand out luring more customers, you have to provide a much better guest experiences otherwise you have nothing to compete with your competitors.

Not a fan of this place. Seemed like they were bias to who could sit where as we were told the table we wanted was reserved and then an older couple came in and they asked them if they would like a few tables including that one. 🤔 drinks were expensive, took forever and didn't taste good. Had planned to order a bottle of champagne but left instead after the waiter sort of agreed on the seating issue.

Excellent service, location, and view. Very friendly, warm, and quick service. The food is unique and tasteful with excellent presentations. The ahi tuna is "seared" to your exact taste right before your eyes! This restaurant is a "must" when you visited Santorini and deserves a 5 star rating.

Very few places can match this place in terms of view and quality of food. They are pricey, though, but this time I will not complain about it due to the fact that the food was astoundingly good. I ordered fillet steak and oven cooked lamb. Both dishes were fantastic and the view could not be better, I think. Service was also to be praised. There was always someone close by to assist.

2023.10.6. I went to have dinner while watching the sunset view. I thought dinner was over 50€, but the rooftop was 70€. So I ordered a variety of foods and they all tasted good. Above all, the sunset view during this season was fantastic. If you come in a different season, the sunset may be slightly obscured by the building in front. Also, since it is a temporary building, it does not have a luxurious atmosphere, but is highly cost-effective. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and my husband and I had a fantastic evening here.

The food here was delicious and the service was great but what was TRULY exceptional was the sunset view. Holy the view was perfect here. Our hotel concierge recommended that I come here and my god she was right. The best sunset view of Oia that I've ever seen. However come early because it fills up very quickly.

Great restaurant if you want beautiful sunset views of Oia. Definitely make a reservation. We made ours the morning of without any issue (off season September). Ask your hotel to call. Make sure you look up the sunset time to plan accordingly. Food was good. Expensive, but no different than any restaurant in Santorini. They have two prime tables facing sunset but 70 euro/pp minimum spend (a lot of restaurants in Santorini will do this). You have limited sunsets so need to plan where you want to spend them. Restaurant is nice, romantic, but don’t have perfect view of Oia. We did a catamaran cruise next day which was beautiful. Can also watch sunset from rocky outcrop in Oi, and grab dinner after, only downside is it will be dark.

Just walked in looking for a place for lunch - couldn’t tell that they had spectacular views when standing at their entrance, but if you make the effort to mount the first set of stairs, you’re in for a treat! Restaurant has 2 decks: lower terrace that’s fully covered where we sat, and the upper terrace that’s partially covered. Both have stunning views over the Aegean Sea, and the famous white-washed buildings clinging onto the side of Oia’s cliff face. Food and prices are what you’d expect from a good restaurant on the mainland - EUR35 for a grilled fish; could say it’s steep (no pun intended) given fish are plentiful, but it’s also 100% geared to tourists, so you’ve got to expect a tourist premium. Deco’s contemporary, minimalist, and all white (in keeping with the island’s unspoken rule), and the staff were courteous; the restaurant was pretty busy so they weren’t stopping for much of a chat. But the views. Oh those views. THAT’S the reason to come here. I can’t compare with views from other restaurants since we only ate here, but we were not disappointed!

Great restaurant, great service and great food. Everything we ate was no less than any magic for our taste buds. And the person serving us was so good, he would take feedback and was making sure that we were having a wonderful time. Places like these deserves to be recommended. Good luck to the whole team.

During my visit to Thassia Restaurant, I was treated to an exceptional dining experience that showcased the very best of Greek cuisine. Nestled in a charming corner of Thassia island, this restaurant captivated me with its warm ambiance, attentive service, and delectable flavors. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine sense of hospitality. The staff was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, taking the time to explain each dish and offer insightful recommendations. Their attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience. The menu at Thassia Restaurant showcased a wonderful array of traditional Greek dishes, crafted with care and using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each bite was a celebration of authentic flavors, beautifully presented with an artistic touch. From the meze platters to the fresh seafood and the succulent grilled meats, every dish was a delight to the senses.

Stopped by for a quick coffee break but as it started to rain, we decided to try something off the starter and salad. Ordered the fried squid and mozzarella salad for snacking. And let me tell you this did not disappoint. Given how fresh the food was, especially the salad, we ended up ordering brownie with hazelnut and ice cream and to top it off got double cappuccinos too. From seating till leaving, everything was well catered for and the waiter was very good even when the restaurant was extremely busy.

A nice restaurant in Santorini that’s open a bit later than most places which is a nice option to have. Wasn’t super hungry so just got a couple of dishes, but the sea bass ceviche was a clear winner. Everything about it was delicious. The mousakka rolls were really good too, which was their take on the classic dish. The food was a bit expensive, and the waiter didn’t bring back the 2 euros in change I was due. Maybe it’s because it was closing time but still not cool. Regardless, the food is excellent and the staff was nice.

Great food, great view. Had a great time there. Grilled fish and seafood pasta and risotto is highly recommended!! You can’t book a table beforehand so I will suggest you to go earlier to get a balcony seat!

All the food and coffee in this area of the island come at a price. But this was such a lovely breakfast. The freddo cappuccino was tasty. I know it sounds silly, but the yogurt with honey and fruit was phenomenal. The best yogurt combo I’ve ever tasted

Great place to have lunch,especially if you get the window seats. Food is amazing as well is the service. Pork in clay pot is really delicious! Mix of tourists and locals at this place.

This place is a gem! Food is delicious and the view, oh my! We went for lunch and had a blast - no reservation was required but worth doing it. We lucky got a place near the window and the view was stunning! Besides that, we’ve got some traditional Greek food and shrimps - both great!
Felipe Tinoco
We spent 4 days in Oia, and tried to enjoy other restaurants in the area after our first meal at Lotza, but we found ourselves coming back to this little gem. Apart from the beautiful views, delicious well presented meals, and magnificent staff, the husband and wife co- owners/ hosts warmed our hearts. If l ever returned to Oia, I would definitely return to Lotza without any hesitation.

Absolutely loved the food. Very well presented and utterly delicious. The servers were incredibly nice and we had a visitor (kitten) that was kind enough to enjoy some of our Kalamari. The restaurant has a wonderful view for the sunset, but I’d recommend going and grabbing a table early because the entire area gets crowded with people looking to catch a glimpse of the sunset.

Tips for taking photos of the Sunset: 1. Staff are nice. They will help you take pictures. 2.The best spot to take photos is on the sidewalk outside of the west end of the seating area. During the last moment of the sunset, till the end of the sunset, the staff will STOP anyone from taking photos there, to make sure all customers can enjoy the view. So plan ahead if you want to take photos on the sidewalk.

Reserved a table for a 50th birthday sunset dinner and I was not disappointed. The service was a little slower than what I’m used to but it worked out. The food was good. The view of the sunset was unforgettable. Overall a nice experience. Tons of steps to get there, I recommend flat shoes.

Kastro is perched on the side of the hill offering a picturesque view of the Santorini sunset for your photos. This is the the primary reason to dine at this restaurant. However, the experience was marred by the rude servers!! One of whom is captured in one of the photographs below. The food is decent but pricey. The restaurant required a €75 minimum per person.
John Liang
Perfect location to watch the sunset in Santorini with a great atmosphere! The food was good however you definitely pay a premium for the amazing view. The highlight was the Greek Risotto and Moussaka croquettes. Worth the visit if you are wanting to see the sunset in Oia, however worth noting that we booked more than a month ahead of our visit.
