Ovio

Ovio spreads across a ground-floor room, a smaller upper level and a street terrace on Apollonos. Panos Ioannidis runs it as an Italian restaurant for mixed groups: polished enough for dinner, loose enough for children and a pizza order.

Our take

Wood-fired pizza without the red-check tablecloths

Ovio spreads across a ground-floor room, a smaller upper level and a street terrace on Apollonos. Panos Ioannidis runs it as an Italian restaurant for mixed groups: polished enough for dinner, loose enough for children and a pizza order.

Homemade pasta, wood-fired pizza and meat dishes share the menu, backed by Italian and Greek bottles. It serves continuously from lunch into late evening; book the terrace for a group, and expect the broad menu to work better as shared courses than a rushed single plate.

What visitors say
