Pidalio Tavern

Run, don’t walk, to this place! All dishes were superb and good value. Eggplant puree in the breaded octopus is to die for - Grape beans salad: generous sharing portions. The cream cheese and yogurt mix + honey made the mouthfeel luxurious while not being overly rich - Grilled veg: the veggies were grilled nicely, and it was accompanied by a slightly fruity, mustard sauce which was nice. My only con was that the portions could be larger - Breaded octopus with eggplant puree and caramelized onion puree: oh my gosh I could eat this dish all day. The octopus was meaty and tender. Both purées were excellent. But the eggplant puree was slightly sweet and smoky without being overpowering. It went well with everything - Grilled meat platter (small): this came with four types of meat, a lemony sauce, and mustard. The beef patty was my favourite as it was well seasoned and had sweet onion bits inside. The sausage was also delicious. The pork had a great char flavour. The chicken was very large portion but could be slightly more moist - House white wine: aromatic like a Riesling. Perfectly drinking Kormos was the complimentary dessert per person. The biscuits were nice and crunchy, contrasting from the richer surroundings. Not too sweet Total came to €65 for 4 people

Amazing food. A really surprising standard from quite an assuming taverna on a main road. They had a page of specialties and the slow cooked lamb came presented as if it were a Michelin restaurant. The garlic foam was so punchy but it worked really well to eat together with the lamb and smoked aubergine. The desert was similarly complex and clever. Big portions and perhaps a bit rich overall, but so good.

One of the most delicious meals I’ve had and really enjoyed everything we had. We tried the grilled octopus, the Giosa with slow cooked lamb, eggplant saganaki. The fish of the day (sea bream) was so fresh and tasty and more than enough for 2 people. The cocktail was unique.

This is a wonderful restaurant with a consistently high standard of food and service. ​For our meal, we enjoyed a Greek salad, tsatziki, and fresh bread, followed by three main courses of fish and seafood. We paired this with two glasses of Iris red wine. ​The service was very professional, yet friendly and genuinely helpful. ​A complimentary dessert was provided — it was simple but very tasty and perfectly complemented our dinner. ​The prices are not cheap, but they are more than reasonable for the quality. ​I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

Based on reviews I should have enjoyed it more. tempura cod was dry and not fresh as purported with all their fish. Service - I think they all liked their phones better than their jobs.

My favourite meal from my two weeks in Greece. The octopus was cooked well, and the eggplant was a nice pairing. The horta tasted like something my grandma would make - comforting and tasty. Ended with a complimentary drink and dessert, which was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Markedly delicious signature salad, a top-notch picanha, delicious loaded mushrooms and cheeseballs that pack a strong punch. All that accompanied by friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere ideal for both small and large groups of people. Absolutely give them a try if you're nearby. They're well worth their award!

Amazing quality food and good prices. One of the absolute best in Nafplio in our experience. Highly recommend. It's a bit farther from the touristy old town, but delicious food makes up for a slight lack of scenery tenfold. You get the scenery in your plate. Seriously, just go there, you won't regret it.
