Charming Italian spot in Lindos with standout wood-oven style pizza and handmade pastas, lively courtyard ambiance, mixed service consistency, and prices a notch above local tavernas.
Restaurant Summary
Set in a pretty Lindos lane, New Gatto Bianco feels warm and bustling when the courtyard fills and the Acropolis glows above. Service ranges from welcoming and kind to stretched during rushes, and some diners mention firm pushback when raising issues. One guest summed it up: "Pizza hit the spot and the setting was lovely, even if the pacing wandered." The cooking leans classic Italian with a local-island tilt: wood-oven style pizzas, handmade pastas, and seafood plates like fritto misto and sea bass. When the kitchen is on, gnocchi with prawns and squid-ink pasta sing; when it is not, a few pastas read bland or overcooked. This suits travelers craving Italian comfort in Greece rather than culinary theater; expect traditional flavors with occasional inconsistencies. For families, the menu is naturally friendly: Margherita, 4 Formaggi, and simple tomato pasta are easy wins, plus desserts around €5. Note some portion complaints and rare staff-manager tension; still, most families find kid-pleasing choices without needing a special menu.
