The BEST Italian food we’ve had in Santorini by far! The waiter was attentive, polite and charming. The food was incredible! Better than any Italian food we’ve had in the states. We had the gnocchi with bacon and a soft egg in a cream sauce. It was to die for! we also had the tortellini and ricotta and spinach also in a cream sauce. The dishes had rich, dimensional flavor and had us dipping our bread in the sauces. Highly recommend those two dishes! You have to go to Character if you come to Fira.

Amazing food, lovely service, divine sunset view. We showed up super last minute after hiking over from Oia and they were super accommodating and able to give us a front row seat for the sunset. The salads were great, the lamb fell off the bone, and the blueberry Moscow mule was exactly what we needed after the long hike.

Oddly, the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Romantic views, great service. Truffle beef rigatoni in cream sauce was a brand new taste for me 😍 thank you to other reviewers for helping me choose this place

Best dinner experience in Santorini. The price was reasonable . We enjoyed the bruschetta which was okay and eggplant parmesan cheese as appetiser. Main course we had the risotto polpo and orzo with grilled gambero.

The best experience in Santorini! I highly suggest this restaurant for their amazing view, best customer service, and the best of you while you’re enjoying your meal and cocktails! A great atmosphere with great music playing quietly in the background as you look over Santorini. I highly suggest the lamb chops. And the owner is a great person, came by and gave us the best service ever!

Beautiful Italian spot overlooking the caldera, sunset views. Recommend booking in advance and asking for the sunset views. It seems quieter than some other sunset view places on the main paths, reasonably priced and great service!! (Worth noting they pull up their veranda 30 minutes before sunset to get the full view)

Character is a gorgeous restaurant. They have incredible cocktails and a decent wine menu! Our server was very attentive and offered great suggestions. For dinner, we tried a salad with toasted cheese, the Fava bean and grilled octopus, a grilled goat cheese appetizer, then we had the bread basket, and 2 pasta entrees. The location is perfect for sunset dinner. It was way too much food for 2 people! Portions a large enough for sharing

Demitris and Nikos were incredibly warm, attentive, and in great spirits while serving our table — their hospitality truly elevated the evening. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the best shrimp Saganaki we’ve had anywhere, the Magerita pizza was perfectly done with a crisp crust and fresh ingredients, and the desserts were to die for — especially the Tiramisu and Panna Cotta, which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Santorini looking for a memorable dining experience with excellent food, service, and view!

The most highly recommended restaurant in Santorini, Fira! This place offers not only delicious food but also one of the best sunset views on the island. The owner is an incredibly talented photographer and provides outstanding service with a warm and friendly attitude. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to come and try it — it’s my absolute favorite and the number one spot in my heart!
