Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Please ignore bad reviews!! Clearly just very wet ridiculous people who don’t understand how the Greek have a good time!! We came for a week holiday one the 10th October, this restaurant was bang outside our hotel, on our first night after travel we didn’t...want to go far, the children liked the look of it and so did we, the 2 guys that were serving were just incredible, they had a laugh, looked after us and just made our evening, it was so good we decided to go again for our 2nd to last night, the food is just insane! They are so friendly and funny they make u want to go back, the food is Very fresh, price very good and such a lovely atmosphere, the one young guy however made our evening, he invited my son to make me a cocktail with him and my son and daughter got to see behind the scenes, he also set up a dance and we had plate smashing, a dance around the water feature, it made our evening as the holiday was coming to an end and feeling all depressed they pulled out the stops for finishing off a season that they soon would be, it was my first visit to Zante, I will be back and I will definitely be coming back to eat here, we loved you all and thankyou so much!

We thought we would give this place a go, we had a lovely takeaway lunch, gyros in a tray absolute beautiful and cheap, so we decided to go in there for a meal, what a bad mistake this was, one of the waiters was very...chatty and approachable, however very flirty with all ladies that entered, the older man, I'm assuming the boss, smacked my partners back multiple times were he was clearly sunburned and laughed at this, upon ordering dinner my partner was happy with his souvlaki, I ordered the ribs and it was 99.9% bone, I must of eaten about 5 little bits out of it, atmosphere was uncomfortable and slightly sleezy, would never return here again.More

We were last here in 2018, and this was our "go to " then, and still is. When we arrived, we were welcomed back with open arms. Carissimo is one of the special places in Alykanas. Not just for their superb food, but the service...is outstanding. We opted for a selection of starters. The Bruschetta was delicious - it ALL was. Fillet Steak in Garlic Sauce (they didn't skimp on the garlic) and cooked to perfection !! Chicken in Lemon Sauce, Vegetarian Spaghetti and Chicken in Garlic Sauce - all out of this world. Desserts are delicious, as always. Kataifi and Apple Pie are amazing. They really DO go out of their way to make you feel welcome. One of our party was in a wheelchair, and they made sure to get him up the ramp, and seated comfortably. You will not be disappointed. 10/10. I am so glad to see that Covid hasn't affected this place too much. They definitely have the charisma in CarissimoMore

We visited this restaurant several times having been initially attracted by their advertised Gluten Free menu. My son was able to enjoy tzatziki as a starter with us as they even had GF bread. He enjoyed the best pizza and it looked so good I...had to double check it was GF. There is a large menu with all if the Greek favourites all cooked well. The team really make you feel welcome and take time to chat, joke and check you have everything you need. They also do Greek dancing every night during which you have the opportunity to smash plates too - a really fun touch. We really enjoyed our dining experience at Carissimo and recommend them without hesitation. Special call out to Andreas whose conversation was engaging and customer service some of the best I’ve experienced.More

Food was disgusting. Pizza came out burnt and was unable to bite into it at all due to it being rock solid. Garlic prawns again rock solid and kids food was 🤢🤢🤮 Would never recommend going to this place . Owner also kept hitting me...on the back , if I wasn't out with the family would have sorted him right out .More

I’m not sure why people eat here as they keep birds caged in tiny cages on both sides of the entrances, the birds are clearly stressed as they are plucking at their feathers, and when pointed out to staff they were completely dismissive, absolutely cruel...and very sadMore

The service here was very friendly, attentive staff that make you feel welcome. I had the best pizza of my trip here. I could tell the dough was hand stretched and the ingredients fresh. My friend had the swordfish and said it was very flavourful....Would recommend going here for an evening out.More

Whilst staying all inclusive at a local hotel we decided to come here to break up the monotony of buffet food one evening. As one of the only restaurants we could see that had a varied vegetarian offering, we opted to come here - a...good choice! Between us we had hummus (so smooth and citrusy), halloumi (perfectly grilled) and pitta to share to start. Followed by pizza (one of the best pizza doughs I have ever tasted!) grilled salmon (a huge portion!) and pastichio (a Greek classic, well done). With a carafe of wine, additional drinks and a children's meal deal the menu didn't come to more than €80. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant itself clean and well kept. With no complaints, we will be popping back again before our plane home 😊More
