1901 in full
1901 sits on a narrow cobbled street in the old town, with tables outside under trees draped in lights. It reads as a slightly smarter, more considered version of the traditional taverna without losing the informality — simple and elegant is the phrase reviewers reach for.
The menu is Greek with a run of Italian crossovers, and the seafood risotto is the dish that gets named most often. Both the quantity and the quality of the food draw praise, which is a combination that is rarer than it should be.
The wine is the distinguishing feature: the house wine comes from the owners' own vineyard, and it is singled out repeatedly as being unusually good for a carafe. That alone makes it worth a visit for anyone tired of the generic island white.
Ratings are strong and consistent — 4.6 on Google, 4.5 on Restaurant Guru across 1,526 reviews, 4.4 on Tripadvisor with a rank of #50 of 296. A dependable, atmospheric mid-priced dinner in the prettiest part of town.
