Aiolos Tavern

We ended up at this restaurant by pure chance, just looking for a place to eat in Nafplio, and it turned out to be one of the best surprises of our trip. We were a group of 7 (4 adults and 3 teenagers), and the staff welcomed us warmly, arranging everything for us within minutes. For many of us, it became one of the best dinners of our long Greek holiday. We started with excellent Greek salads, fresh and flavorful, followed by well-cooked, tasty meat dishes served in generous portions. The large cheese platters are also worth trying, especially at the end of the meal. Another highlight was the house wine — a lovely rosé, very pleasant to drink and only €12 per bottle, which was a real bargain. In the end, the bill was more than reasonable, averaging around €20 per person including wine and plenty of food. A truly authentic and friendly spot with great value for money. If you are in Nafplio, this tavern is highly recommended.

The food was really good—fresh and flavorful. What was frustrating, though, was the wait time. We ended up waiting 45 minutes for our order, while other tables who arrived after us were served and even finished before we got our food. It definitely took away from the experience.

We had a solid meal here during our visit to Nafplio. Everything we had was enjoyable and service was efficient. The flavours felt unique compared to other things we had enjoyed thus far on our trip. They were accommodating about us moving tables, as the smoke in the patio became hard on my lungs and we opted to move inside. The apples with honey for dessert was a lovely end to the meal.

We had dinner at Aiolos Tavern for 2 people. Ordered: Lolita salad (the vegetables were fresh and the dressing was well-balanced. However, there were too many croutons, and unfortunately, they weren’t very crispy.) Raw artichoke (overly sour and didn’t quite work for our palate.) Grilled sausage (flavourful overall, though one piece was overcooked - almost burnt, while the other was nicely done.) Alkioni (from the specialties section - It was a generous portion, around 350gr.) Wine (Palivos and Aivalis - One of the highlights was their impressive wine list. Enjoyed both great character and perfectly paired with the food.) Pricing-wise: We expected it to be a bit more affordable than Athens, especially since the high season hasn’t fully started. But prices were comparable to top spots in the capital. We paid €63 in total. Service: The most disappointing part. It was hard to get the attention of the staff, making eye contact to place an order took effort. They even declined to toast the bread, saying they were too busy, which didn’t leave the best impression. Atmosphere: We sat outside on a charming little side street, which offered a pleasant and authentic atmosphere.

Fantastic Beef Stifado best we have eaten so far. My husband ordered Spaghetti Bolognaise which was fine but he had major food envy over the Beef Stifado. Also ordered Horta but as it didn’t come out with the Beef we cancelled it as the meal servings were large. Whole dinner cost 40€ and that included Beer, x2 glasses of Rose and a cocoa cola Also complimentary cake and fruit at the end of the meal. Very good value for money I agree with other reviewers the staff lacked a bit of personality seemed to be on auto pilot but no one was rude. Would definitely go back. The wine list was extensive catered for everyone’s taste and budget lots of local wines.

Well, it was my turn to try to find a place to eat and this is a place I stumbled upon. We got there at 7:30 as a place started to fill up. It’s in an alley between two locations. One side of the road is the wine bar and the other side is the restaurant, they share the same space. we were immediately greeted at our table and given our menus and they helped us out with their very large variety of wines they have in stock. My wife is able to sample one of the bottles which is the one we chose. We ordered a couple of appetizers, the octopus and the sausage. After the food arrived, they gave us plenty of time to enjoy it and they were both extremely good. On their menu, they have a very good variety of items to choose from. We chose the souvlaki, garlic, shrimp, and the roasted lamb. When the food arrived, we couldn’t wait to dig in. We were not disappointed, each dish on its own was great. Service here was very friendly, atmosphere fantastic and the food a reason to go back for. If we had more time here, we would probably go back for another dinner.

The best ever. Excellent food. Superb service! Christos and Jo the owners are fantastic. Don’t miss the opportunity for a great dinner experience

Been here with family and ordered mutton, lamb, calamari and saganaky shrimps. Food was decent, not extraordinary, far from what some reviewers are saying. Instead the Nafplio pie was excellent! It's a nice place but service can be improved a lot - they have a superior look like this job is above them. Beacuse of this, we will not coming back...
