Roka Oia

A charming hidden gem in Oia! Google Maps didn’t bring us directly here, but the blue signs around the area helped. We loved the fish, pasta, fries, and mushroom bread — all freshly prepared and delicious. The staff spoke limited English but were warm and attentive. Cozy indoor decor with colourful walls and a homely vibe — worth the short hunt to find it!

Lovely dinner with homey atmosphere, friendly efficiencent service, and most importantly great food. We started with the beef carpaccio and then the sea bream and moussaka. Both were super flavorful! High recommended!

Came for lunch on a Saturday in early October. We had reservations, though it wasn’t too busy when we arrived. We were seated on the back patio with a nice view of the water. The patio isn’t large and filled up quickly, so a reservation is still worth making. The restaurant is in a quieter part of Oia, down a cute alleyway - it feels tucked away from the crowds, which adds to the atmosphere. We ordered the moussaka, mushroom risotto, and pork belly based on Google recommendations. All were great, but the pork belly was an absolute standout. The moussaka was tasty (4/5), though I’ve had a slightly better version elsewhere in Santorini. The mushroom risotto was rich, well-seasoned, and full of mushrooms - balanced and moreish. The pork belly was excellent - perfectly cooked, tender, with nice crisp exterior. The portion size was just right and could even be seen as generous depending on appetite. We had it augmented to be gluten-free (without the sauce as it contained gluten). I can’t even imagine how much better it would taste with the sauce! I also appreciated the allergen page at the back of the menu - it clearly showed allergens and what could be modified in each dish, which made ordering easier.

I truly enjoyed my Greek grilled squid dinner at this restaurant. The combination of fresh salad, flavorful sauce, and aromatic herbs was just perfect. To complete the meal, the fish soup was absolutely delicious ~ comforting and full of flavor. One of the best seafood dining experiences I’ve had on this journey through Greece.
