    The menu is loud and proud. Thin and crispy pizza, al dente pasta and finger licking plates for meat lovers! Don't forget the lengthy wine list & the homemade cocktails. Tip:chocolate pie to die for!

    I visit Via Pastarella everytime I travel to Heraklion, I tend to make it a tradition! Their pasta is fantastic, I love the fresh ones, the pizza is great and my personal favorite tagliata is amazing!

    You can find a lot of meat in Heraklion, but you won't find this steak anywhere else ! Open all week! took a long time to get the food, but I was amazed and I ate good meat in my life. Great menu.

    This restaurant right at the city center is one of your best bets for authentic Italian cuisine in Heraklion. Make sure to try one of the homemade pastas, and one of the explicit thin-crust pizzas.

    We are pizza lovers, so we had two large pizzas with several toppings, along with some homemade cocktails (the “honey bee” is a must)! Service was something highly appreciated! Keep up the good work!

    Average pricey food. Went there for take out and even though I was told that there is a discount to the dine-in prices, when I got to the cashier I was informed that they did not. Would not recommend

    Αν ψάχνεις την τέλεια πίτσα και γενικά τη σωστή ιταλική κουζίνα θα τη βρεις εδώ! Εμείς σίγουρα θα ξανάρθουμε στην επόμενη επίσκεψή μας στο Ηράκλειο.
