Carissimo - (Restaurants in Argassi)

First impressions count, & with an attractive water feature at the front it looks appealing. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The "meeter & greeter" who drums up business at the door is very smarmy - so be wary if you are female & dining alone! Waiters seemed extremely rushed, took ages for food to arrive & then main course arrived before we had finished our starters. Not very professional & mediocre food. Try Picadilly if you want good good, excellent service & very professional staff (only restaurant where the poor waiters wear ties!). Ask for Thomas - the head waiter. Try Ilision for great Greek night.

An absolute must. Off the beaten track but free horse & carriage transport outside Dolfin Supermarket. Pretty setting & authentic feel. The Greek Night on Tuesday's is very good value & entertainment is lively (complete with plate smashing & fire-lighting!). Pedros & Nikos, the brothers who own it are also pretty dishy too, which may have swayed our opinion! As well as the Supermarket they also own Elana Grill Restaurant & Castaways which are all worth a try. Many thanks Pedros & Nikos - We hope the Alfa Romeo Spider continues to draw admirers & sorry we could not come to see Carretta, Carretta!! Perhaps next time?(Tracey & Heather, near Birmingham)

This is a fairly new restaurant & appears to be having some teething troubles. Service not particularly good & although menu was most cosmipolitan we came across (English, Mexican,Chinese,Greek,Italian, etc) the food didn't live up to expectations. Probably one of the most trendy in resort also with roof-top location & chrome furniture (ala Habitat). The owner, Pedros, also owns 2 other restaurants close by (Ilision & Elena)- which we thought were more traditional & far better. I'm sure Pedros will make Castaways equally successful with time.

Fantastic restaurant - cannot be beaten. Lovely water fountain to tempt you in & you won't be disappointed. Excellent food, fantastic service by the most professional waiters in resort(the only ones to wear ties despite the heat!). A big thank-you to Thomas, the head waiter & the owner was friendly too. It's people & places like this which will make your holiday. (We will send you a copy of the photos Thomas - Best Wishes, Tracey & Heather)
