About

Pagliaccio, a family‑owned Italian gοrge located on the sandy shores of Rethymno, has welcomed guests for over 35 years with a perfect blend of classic Mediterranean flavours and local Greek influences. Situated just steps from the sea and overlooking the historic Fortezza Fortress, the restaurant offers diners a panoramic beach view that complements its inviting, elegant interior. Charcoal‑blazed pizzas, fresh seafood risottos, and decadent homemade pastas are crafted in a wood‑fire oven, while a carefully curated wine list showcases both Italian and Greek labels. Service is warm and attentive, ensuring that whether you are dining for a casual lunch or a romantic dinner, every meal feels like a thoughtfully prepared celebration of flavours.
