Pidalio Restaurant

Name: Pidalio Restaurant
Price range: €€€

Pidalio sits in Nafplio's newer quarter, away from the harbour promenade, with generous indoor spacing and pavement tables. Diners who want Greek ideas without old-town repetition find stuffed mushrooms, giant-bean salad, vegetable pie, shrimp, sea bass and a deconstructed pata negra gyros.

Our take

Gyros leaves the old town

The plating looks formal, but portions run modest and prices sit in the middle of Nafplio's range. Reserve inside on hot evenings, arrive by car for easier parking and share three starters before mains; the 2026 menu marks ingredients and supports deliberate ordering.

What visitors say

Pidalio holds 4.7 from roughly 2,370 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice award; 2026 diners praise original Greek plates and professional service while noting smaller portions.

Restaurant

Aiolos Tavern

Aiolos fills a narrow old-town lane with closely set tables and a steady queue of families, tour groups and return visitors. The kitchen stays recognisably Greek—smoked aubergine dip, meatballs, lamb, fish and cooked vegetables—without leaning on the harbour view to sell dinner.

Restaurant

Wild Duck - Eat & Drink

Wild Duck faces the yachts on Bouboulinas Street, coupling a modern dining room with outdoor harbour tables. Date-night diners order crayfish orzo, duck with carrot purée and berries, the daily beef cut and pistachio crème brûlée alongside a serious Greek wine list.
