The best Italian restaurants and pizza in Skiathos

The best pizza and pasta on Skiathos — where to go when you have reached your limit on grilled fish, ranked and reviewed.

7Restaurants listed
130Reviewed island-wide
8.3Mean score

Every Greek island holiday reaches the evening where nobody can face another plate of grilled fish. Skiathos handles this better than most, with several genuinely good Italian kitchens rather than the usual tourist pizza.

Lo & La on the Old Port steps has been run by Lorenzo and Anastasia since 2005 and holds 4.5 across all three rating platforms — a level of agreement across 3,400+ reviews that indicates very few off-nights. Il Migliore is the pick for pizza specifically. La Cucina di Maria has the best courtyard and the island's most reliable gluten-free offer.

Maria's Pizza opposite the Town Hall is the long-established option; note that bread is served automatically and charged for, which catches people out.

  1. 8.8#1

    Lo & La

    Contemporary Italian on the Old Port steps facing the Bourtzi, run by Lorenzo and Anastasia since 2005. One of the most consistently rated restaurants in town.

    Skiathos Town — Old Port steps€€4.54.5
  2. 8.8#2

    1901

    A smarter take on the traditional taverna, on a narrow cobbled street with tables under tree-strung lights — and house wine from the owners' own vineyard.

    Skiathos Town — Old Town€€4.64.4
  3. 8.6#3

    Il Migliore Pizza Pasta

    Widely called the best Italian food on the island — proper pizza bases, a big airy space and incredible views.

    Skiathos Town€€4.64.6
  4. 8.4#4

    La Cucina di Maria

    Homemade Italian in a courtyard shaded by a huge mulberry tree, walls covered in murals. Generous portions, proper pizza, and one of the island's best gluten-free offerings.

    Skiathos Town€€4.44.3
  5. 8.4#5

    Maria's Pizza

    A long-standing Italian opposite the Town Hall with a courtyard covered in murals and greenery. Handmade pizza and pasta, and a queue most nights.

    Skiathos Town — Town Hall€€4.54.3
  6. 7.6#6

    Piazza di Skiathos

    Three steps from the new port, convenient and reasonably priced. Pizza opinion is genuinely split — some call it the best in the new port, others are unkind.

    Skiathos Town — New Port€€4.24.1
  7. 7.6#7

    Vesuvio Pizzeria Ristorante

    The new port's Italian option, with crisp-crust pizza and large portions — and a listings problem that splits its reputation three ways.

    Skiathos Town — New Port€€4.5
