Mario Restaurant

A respected island restaurant now based in Parikia, combining seasonal Cycladic ingredients, assured seafood cooking and a more composed evening than a casual port taverna.

Our take

Contemporary Parian cooking in Parikia

Mario built its reputation in Naousa but now welcomes diners in Parikia, an important detail when working from older recommendations. The cooking remains rooted in Parian and wider Cycladic produce while using a contemporary, precise style. Expect vegetables, local cheeses and seafood to receive as much attention as the main proteins.

This is a destination dinner rather than a spontaneous snack between ferries. Book ahead in high season, mention dietary needs when reserving and leave enough time for the kitchen’s pace. Consult the restaurant’s own website for its present address and seasonal opening rather than relying on legacy map listings.

Paros, Read from the Inside Out

Go beyond Naousa’s harbour to follow marble, footpaths, working villages and a protected peninsula across one of the Cyclades’ most varied islands.
