The wine cellar waits underground
Piato faces Ammoudi Beach from a garden terrace, using stone, lanterns and an underground wine cellar instead of the usual blue-chair taverna shorthand. The kitchen reshapes Cretan produce through octopus, seafood, slow meat, small composed plates and a list built around Greek vineyards.
Treat it as a full evening. Reserve the garden, ask to see the cellar after dinner and state a wine budget before staff start recommending bottles; prices sit above nearby grills and the menu works best as starters followed by one main each.
What visitors say
Piato rates about 4.7 across more than 1,000 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a Travelers' Choice award; octopus, Cretan ingredients, wine guidance and the garden anchor praise.
