Buzzing Italian by the Old Town walls with very good pizza and pastas, fair prices, and long queues; service can wobble at peak times.
Restaurant Summary
Set just outside the Old Town walls, Il Borgo hums with a holiday buzz, queues curling under the trees and servers weaving through a terrace with sea glints beyond the gate. Guests describe warm, lively service when things click, and plates of pizza and pasta that arrive to cheers. One captured the mood: "We waited a bit, then settled in with a view and a crisp pizza—worth it." Social media helps fuel the crowd, so lines and pacing can wobble. The cooking leans classic Italian with a Rhodes backdrop—crispy-edged pies, creamy pastas, and a few modern touches like truffle and a beef-teriyaki pizza. Fans rave about simple, well-executed favorites like Margherita, Alfredo, and ravioli, while a minority find certain dishes underseasoned or less than traditional. Prices are fair for the setting, and the terrace is an easy win for sunset if you book or arrive early. For families, this is an easy yes: pizzas, carbonara, gnocchi, and even nuggets and fries mean kids will find something familiar. The menu includes vegan pizzas and straightforward pastas like tomato or aglio e olio that suit younger tastes. Do plan ahead: lines can be long, and earlier seatings reduce waits for little ones.
