On the second night of our holiday we had looked up the reviews for Il Mare and decided to go here for our evening meal. We were welcomed and seated very quickly, with menus for a range of different foods and drinks. We had gotten the bottle of Chardonnay for €25, which we thoroughly enjoyed. My partner and I ordered starters (Calamari and Stuffed Vine Leaves) and two mains (spinach and ricotta ravioli and sautéed shrimp in ouzo sauce + rice). There are no words to describe how delicious and flavourful the food is. Every dish was made to perfection and the portion sizes were very good. The calamari was accompanied with a delicious saffron sauce which completed the dish. The stuffed vine leaves were tasty and had Greek yogurt which made the dish even more fulfilling! The mains, similar to the starters, were phenomenal. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and the ouzo sauce was divine. There really are no words that can describe how well this restaurant can cook their food. Both my partner and I agreed that it was one of the best, if not the best, meal we have ever had. Thank you to the whole team for making the night and for the wholesome atmosphere. We will be back here soon!
