Romeo

Frommer's Review

Though under siege by tourists, many locals gladly frequent the Romeo, as there is a good deal that's authentic within its walls. (For one thing, the walls themselves are roughly 500 years old.) More important, besides the predictable taverna fare, are the number of local dishes on offer -- including vegetarian options. Two house specialties are the mixed fish grill and the stuffed souvlaki. For the grill, you select your own fish from a generous array of fresh deep-sea options -- the tender grilled octopus is especially good. The finely cut grilled souvlaki stuffed with melted cheese and tomatoes is a regional dish from the north end of the island. The very reasonably priced dry house wines go quite nicely with each entree. Set back in a quiet enclave, just off and out of the crush of Sokratous, Romeo offers both courtyard and roof-garden seating, as well as tasteful live traditional Greek music and song. If you're keen on a smoke-free environment, the air on the breezy roof garden is particularly fresh.
