After having a very nice dinner, the staff basically ignored us. We we're trying to pay the bill but they walked past, made no eye contact and generally ignored us. The young waiter looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

After about 10 minutes, we lost the plot and my other half stamped up to the manager and complained.

Sadly, the experience ruined the meal for us and we didn't go back, which was a pity as the food was very nice.

  Yes, it isn't a top end expensive restaurant but it was the only one we returned to during our visit to Elounda!
This restaurant is great value but don't be put off by the fact that it is a pizzeria, it serves really tasty food, Greek and Italian/Greek obviously cooked well, seasoned well with great use of herbs. The friendly, generous service makes you feel at home and it has a great atmosphere appearing to be at least as popular with locals as tourists, something I regard as a good sign. It was the busiest restaurant in Elounda on the two end of season nights we visited, we weren't the only ones who appreciated it's charms. Great place to eat if you are on a budget but like good food.

  We have eaten here several times October 2019 and previously on other visits over the years. Standards have not dropped. We stay in 5 star hotel , but prefer their food
Service is great and food is superb. We have had various meals including octopus, steaks, pizza and breaded shrimps. Prices are good and the staff - Louise, Petros and Dimitri give a warm welcome. One of the best restaurants in Elounda and they make you feel like you have returned home. Everybody is treated the same and prices are very reasonable. Seafront location with clean amenities. Most of the food is homemade - sauces,pizza,pasta deserts etc.

  Really friendly staff and you can tell they take pride in there food. I’d recommend eating here as much as possible

  We have been to Elounda a good few times now, and this place always delivers! It has an excellent, comprehensive menu to suit all tastes, but I have to say the pizza/pasta options are absolutely gorgeous, probably the best you would eat anywhere (and I include in Italy in that)!. The staff are well recognised from previous visits here, and they are just lovely - you can expect a really warm welcome and to be totally looked after during your evening. They are informative and helpful, but also chatty and really good company, without being overbearing in any way. It is extremely reasonably priced, and well worth a visit. They do takeaways too, for those lazier evenings! I wish we had something like this in the UK, their service is second to none.

  We have been to Elounda a few times and always make time to eat in this restaurant. We shared the Meze starter and then had their fabulous Vizuvius (?) pizza. Prices are very reasonable.
Would recommend eating here anytime of day or night.

  Even though Elounda has a huge array of restaurants, we ate at Porto Rino three times during a 7 night stay because it served such fabulous food and was excellent value.

  Came here on our second day in elounda, the staff were very friendly and very attentive. Food was absolutely amazing, by far the best we’ve eaten here so far.
Will be heading back again tomorrow as it was so good!

  if you are craving a pizza this is the place to come. Friendly service, really great pizza with a wide selections of toppings. More than we were able to eat so they were happy to wrap it up for us to go

  We used this place whilst on holiday in Elounda. Staff were so nice and friendly. There was 3 of us. We ordered halloumi and garlic bread for us to share. Was very nice especially the halloumi. For mains we ordered a pizza(wow) and 2 pasta dishes. And a few drinks. Good value for money and would certainly recommend here when in elounda

  We visited this place while away and was not disappointed.
Fantastic location, comfortable seating. Great owner and staff.
Plenty of choices on the menu to suit all,
And prices much lower than expected.
Was even given a free round of drinks for our full table, will definitely visit again and recommended to all.
Thank you.

  Although we arrived into Elounda at 10pm these guys were so welcoming, It was our first night and we had a very tired couple of teens with us. But when the food arrived well that woke them up. The most amazing pasta that when asked where to go one night the kids insisted we went back! Each meal was just great. The little extras were spot on.

  Love their extensive menu, something for everyone. Their pizza and pasta dishes are excellent. As are the grilled food, in fact its all lovely. The only problem is what to choose. Friendly attentive staff, central location, who could ask for more

  This place was a really tasty pizza and homemade pasta. We enjoyed our dinner a lot as it has a kids menu too. Huge plus the super friendly staff. Will visit again for sure.

  Went to this restaurant with my family had the large pizza which was stone baked and was large enough to feed 4, sharing plates were provided and the pizza was excellent.
Highly recommend this restaurant a great selection of home cooked foods with the staff were very friendly

  Great place to eat. All the food was exceptional quality and huge portions. Feta from the oven was gorgeous. The bread was fresh and one of the best we’ve tasted. My husband had the fillet of sole, which was extremely fresh and was outstanding. I had the carbonara, which again tasted fab. My daughter had pizza -outstanding. Good service, friendly staff, would definitely recommend dining here.

  Very friendly staff, free appetisers and desert with Raki or Peach Schnapps. Large portions of excellent food from either menu, the Dorade fillet was my favourite - such fresh fish. €50 for 4 mains with beer, water, wine and soft drinks included.

  Great place to eat. We shared a salad and a large pizza- big portions so definitely enough for two. Friendly service and great value for money.

  Called here on our first night in Elounda as couldn’t decide were to go, the staff were really friendly and the food was good so no complaints

  Fantastic pizza and pasta, large and varied menu. They can cater for lots of dietary requirements. Consistently good.

  A great restaurant with always a warm welcome from Louise and the staff. The pizzas are the best in their mixed mezze starter is superb. The portions are very generous. A restaurant not to miss

  The food is fantastic here, there are both Italian and Greek options - the pasta is homemade and fresh and you can customise dishes to your taste by adding / removing ingredients etc. It’s always busy but that’s just because everyone likes eating here. Any meal can be done as a kids option and the staff are super helpful especially Louise, who is wonderful. We will be back.

  Visited numerous times, food is always great. The staff are exceptional. Caters for everyone. Worth a visit.

  We visited the restaurant twice based on TripAdvisor reviews and would highly recommend. The pizzas are cooked to perfection, my partner had the special both times and said it was the best pizza he had eaten in a long time and he eats a lot of pizzas!!! Staff are very friendly and went above and beyond to get ibuprofen for myself. We recommended to friends at the hotel and they all agreed too.
Definitely a place to check out in Elounda.

  Ate at this restaurant three times during our two week holiday and had excellent food and service each time.
Really good selection of toppings for your pizza and also a wide choice of types of pasta/sauce. My favourite pizza is the Village which has sausage and feta cheese as the main ingredients. For pasta I go for the fettuccini with salmon. In addition the pizza/pasta they have a good selection of salads and traditional Greek dishes as well as great starters.
Something for everyone here and you can choose between three sizes of pizza to ensure that you get the right portion size for each person. Well located down by the harbour and near bars for a drink afterwards.
Good for couples, small and large groups and families with quick friendly service.

  Best place ate here three out of 7 night kids found it great with all the food they like great food kind hearted staff

  We visited with family. We always had a very warm welcome and found the food to be be really good and very reasonable. So much so, we went back again and again.
I recommend a visit!

  Me and my partner stopped here whilst staying in an apartment nearby. We each had a different pasta dish and tried each other’s, both were delicious. The lady serving us was a great help as very friendly, advising me about dairy, meat and egg free dishes and recommended drinks.
The ‘simply fruit’ range from what I have tried is so refreshing in the Cretan heat and had a great taste.
Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Crete and have dietary requirements

  Have eat here many times before and have always had a good meal. Louise and her Staff are very friendly and efficient. A lovely setting for an evening a meal

  We've been going to Porto Rino for more than twenty years and it never fails to disappoint. The staff remember their customers personally which makes for a wonderful experience.

Famed for its pizza oven, it's a well-known family run business in the town where you're always guaranteed a good welcome and an excellent. Don't, however, be put off if you don't like pizza. The seafood is also particularly good.

Despite its central location and lovely view, the prices at Porto Rino are VERY reasonable making it a great spot for a delicious family meal. We went back to eat there three times in two weeks.
