Il Gabbiano Lassi

[Chiquita Palafox]

Returnedfrom Lassi last weekend and ate here a couple of time, I expected it to be a lot beter having read some of the comments, however was slightly dissapointed, fod was good, but compared to other restaurants in Lassi was quite average, service was also average.

Got back from Lassi on 26 August after spending enjoyable 2 weeks in the sun. Went to Il Gabbiano probably about 10 nights out of the 14 as found the whole experience enjoyable. Service was great, Staff were very friendly, food was delicious and excellent value for money. Beef Stifado was really tender, Pizzas were to die for, Kids loved the Fried Meatballs and Fish and Chips!! Mousaka was a favourtie of my husbands and I could totally recommend the chicken gabbiano. If we do go back to Lassi in the future (this was our second time) we would definitely go back to Il Gabbiano.

just come back from lassi yet again. dined here quite a few times and had no complaints whatsoever.food was delicious and the staff very efficient. this being our third visit to the island it was a great feeling being remembered by Malamatenia and her family/staff. We too enjoyed the pizzas and chicken dishes especially Il Gabbiano style. will be going back again in 2 years as we alternate with Zante.

We ate at this restaurant three times during our two week holiday. We found that the atmosphere was relaxed and did not feel that the waiters were rushing us through the meal, unlike other restaurants we visited. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent especially the pasta and pizza, the white wine was also worth a try.

we went to El Gabbiano last year and we wasnt impressed. the food was overpriced. the waiters watched over your shoulders why you ate! we felt as if we had done something wrong. WONT BE GOING BACK AGAIN!. i woudlnt recomend it

Went here on our first night, do not remember seeing 'Elvis' nor being dragged into the restaurant?? We ordered tzatziki and cheese pies for starters - mains we ordered chicken souvlaki and chicken in cream and mushroom sauce. All of which were ok - chicken a litte dry, nothing out of this world. We did not feel that it was somewhere we would go back to during the week.

The Elvis look a like has now left the building. Yes he was big and some people did find him frightening but he did understand the words no thank you.

We ate at this restaurant a few times during the last 2 weeks we were there and have done several times over the last 11 years.

We have tried most of the starters and my favourite would be the sausage mixed with tomato and topped with melted cheese. Closely followed by the meat balls.

We found the chefs salad to have a much better ham and cheese topping than anywhere else we went.

The special pizza has a generous topping. My wife tells me that the swordfish is as good as any she has had on the island. The kleftiko melts as you eat it and the other Greek dishes are good as well.

I found the peppered fillet sauce a little sweet but the pepper corns were very hot.

The size of the steaks are not that big but this seems quite normal for Kef. Personally after doing nothing for most of the day I would not want a meal too large anyway.

The chicken and the pork all taste good. I think this could be because the meat is fresh, not frozen unlike some other places that we have eaten.

The Ice Cream is locally made and the cherry ice cream has large lumps of cherry in it ( Very Nice )

We have always found the service good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

The prices are good, they are cheaper than some of the other restaurants in Lassi.

I had a drink or two at the adjoining bar every night and noticed several people coming back to eat again. Some people ate there every night.

The bar has a childrens play area next to it, which is very handy for parents to have a couple of drinks whilst watching their children play.

We will be back again in September and will definitely use the place again.
