Taverna Axiotissa

Great tavern with lots of authentic Greek food. Come with an appetite as large portions and lots you will want to try. Even the bread and butter was best in Greece. Lamb leg and rabbit delicious! Some good craft beer options as well. Reservations are a must. Can do these online

What a place!! Fantastic good, all super tasty and fresh! I also got a great book with recipes. I would keep coming back!

The food at this place is truly excellent, offering a delightful culinary experience. I highly recommend it. The pricing is comparable to restaurants offering more sophisticated cuisine, which is the reason for the four-star rating.

Overall - disappointed with the experience. We tried to call 3-4 times before we got there and no one answered. Once we got there, they were able to give us a table in the garden, even though we did not have reservations. That was kind of them. However, the interaction with the host was not very professional. I did mention that we called and showed him the number and he said that we had the right number but that they didn't hear it. At the same time, the phone rang and he handed it to someone to answer it so it seemed that the phone was working okay. Also, he had the reservations written on a notebook and he was flipping around and did not have a clear understanding of whether they had openings or not - his notes were all over the place and it was quite surprising. The waitress was not very friendly and did not check on us and how we were doing enough. We had to reach out to the waiter from the section next to ours to express concerns. The Naxos salad was great. The rose ice cream was also great. The lamb and steak were quite disappointing. They were bland and not cooked properly. The lamb was so dry and not tasty at all. They did replace the dish and it wasn't that much better. The beef was chewy and not special at all The menu makes the dishes sound special and super flavorful with a flare but the actual main dishes did not meet those descriptions. The bread was cold and hard. It was also barely any bread for 2 people. The dip served with the bread was quite good. It seemed that there was no real effort to form a connection with us as customers. The service was not warm and we did not feel part of the family like we usually do in small restaurants in small towns. The garden was beautiful and the view was great.

The outdoor garden is beautiful. The Greek salad is good. The meat dishes are terrible especially the lamb; extremely dry and hard. We got the dish and tried it and expressed our concern. They changed it and it was just the same. Some waiters are friendly, others not at all. Unfortunately very disappointing. Never again and I do not recommend this place. There are other excellent tavernas in the area with perfectly cooked local lamb and beautiful local dishes with excellent presentation and impeccable service. Go elsewhere.

We decided to take a break from our beach day for a quick lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised by both the ambience and the quality of the food. The atmosphere was inviting, and every dish we tried was delicious. Highly recommended!

A well deserved 5 stars for: - Excellent quality of ingredients - Delicious starters and main courses (a rare thing I’ve found in Greece) - Friendly knowledgeable service by all the staff and owners. - Fantastic menu of locally sourced dishes with ingredients that you don’t tend to see on others menus Pics taken at night don’t do the food justice.. Definitely a favourite find of ours!

My favorite place in the island. You want to have launch or dinner with fresh and super tasty dishes come here. Locals and tourists come here. The place is super nice and the staff is kind and attentive. We came here twice just because we wanted to try other places but I would have eaten every day here.
