Classic Corfiot and Greek dishes with generous portions and fair prices in Old Town; food praised, but service can be brusque and seating policies strict.
Restaurant Summary
Set on a narrow Old Town lane, Diporto feels warm and bustling when the evening crowd rolls in. Guests rave about rich Corfiot sauces and house wine while noting that service swings from warm and helpful to brusque and policy-driven during peak hours. One diner summed it up: "The pastitsada was the best of our trip, but getting a table took patience." The cooking leans classic Corfiot and Greek rather than fancy, with generous portions and fair prices that outshine tourist traps nearby. Standouts include beef sofrito, pastitsada, vegan moussaka, and the prawn pasta with feta sauce, while a few seafood plates show variability. It is a place for people who want comforting traditional flavors more than culinary pyrotechnics. Families do fine here thanks to fries, souvlaki, pasta, and simple salads, but note the tight space and strict seating rules. Strollers may be restricted in narrow aisles, and service can feel rushed at peak times. If you have a toddler, aim for early seating inside where air conditioning and space are better.
