Budget-friendly Greek grill by the seafront with standout gyros and tzatziki, but service speed and consistency vary widely.
Restaurant Summary
Right on the seafront strip, Petrino Grill House feels casual and bustling with the upstairs balcony catching the sea breeze and the street hum below. Service ranges from quick-fire gyros to waits when full; one diner noted, "we were seated fast but food lagged when it got busy." Expect friendly faces mixed with peak-time pressure. Cooking leans classic Greek grill: pita gyros, tzatziki, dakos, moussaka, plus burgers and pizza. The style is comfort-first Greek with a few playful touches like gyros pizza, but it shines most when you stick to the spit and grill. Fans rave about crisp meat, cool yogurt, and hand-cut fries, while pizza and occasional cold or fatty plates draw mixed notes. For families, this spot is kid-friendly by design: nuggets, burgers, pizza, fries, and mild pitas abound at budget prices. No formal kids menu card is guaranteed every day, but the menu itself covers kid tastes well. If your crew needs quiet or swift pacing, aim for off-peak times.
