Despite local family members dining here a while ago, and recommending this place, I wonder if they had a change of hands or a different chef now. We all went for the seafood options, I'm still trying to round down what exactly gave me the upset stomach but all evidence points to the octopus carpaccio, which upon tasting was quite tough to chew (even though it was thinly sliced), and I noticed a lot more fishy than I expected it to be, as I've had this dish many a time back in London. I'm far too British and polite to leave food so I tried to siphon them off to my partner (who also had mild stomach aches waking him up at 6am but it wasn't as bed as me, whoopsie). The main was squid ink seafood linguine, which I was really looking forward to. The portion size was pretty big, lots of seafood too, however the taste was pretty mediocre, the chilli was overpowering and there was a slight sour undertone which I couldn't quite track the origin of. I had two giant calamari rings in mine and I have to say they were pretty stringy again making me wonder if they were using the freshest seafood that they reassured us with. My partner ordered truffle burger but he wasn't sure why it was called truffle, as he was met with a giant slab of mozzarella on top of a slightly dry burger patty. Considering they didn't ask for his burger temperature I guess this could be expected. Before you complain about me keyboard warrioring behind a laptop (it's actually my phone) as I've seen the response you've given another scathing review, it's not in my nature to make a scene about the food at a small Italian in the middle of no where when eating with my family in case they're actually enjoying the meal. But in this case I was actually encouraged to leave this review by them. The prices were similar to mainstream branches, Bella Italia/Prezzo, if not more expensive so I was definitely expecting better or on par at least. Kinda disappointing, my elderly mum who's a local might be by again if you prefer to be given feedback face to face. She was pretty upset we were ill on the day we fly back...

We come regularly with the whole family. In my opinion one of the best places in Paphos. Great service. It was always delicious. The portions are large. The hosts are friendly. In the evening there was live music. We had a great time. I recommend it to everyone. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
