Well what more can we say many many thanks to you for some lovely meals {eat far to much as always }cant count how many times we eat here when we are in kalamaki !!!!!!!

as always we where given great service from Yanni and Spiros and nick  . such lovely people .been to a few tavernas but this one is our fav

Am missing you all all ready  see you next year  lots of love Val and ian and family {Godden}

Tesoro is one of the best restaurants in Kalalmaki...or probably in Zante! Great food...never had a bad meal. And the staff are lovely, especially Yianni! Can't wait to eat there next year!!!

  I visited Tesoro last May more than once and the food was fantasic!!! I ended up going back to Kalamaki on my own last September and ate at Tesoro EVERY NIGHT so i think i managed to eat my way through most of the menu and everything i had was delicious and no complaints here!!!! Im hoping to go back this year (late booking) or failing that next May 08 and I will definately be going to eat in Tesoro again.  All the staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome - look forward to seeing you all soon!!!

Just returned home and spent nearly every night in Tesoro-the best restaurant in Zante! The meals were fresh and of good portions.It's the first time my children have been to to Greece and they would love to go back-Yianni and Maria taught my son lots of greek!The specials were always good value for money and the lamb in honey and Ouzo is LUSH!  A truely delightful restaurant and I would truely recommend it.Go there and you will not have the need to go anywhere else!! LOVED IT!  

We ate here on the Friday of our holiday.  We were made very welcome and the meal was very tasty, we had Chicken in pepper sauce , chicken kieve, hawaiian pizza all very nice.  We would visit this restaurant again if we return to Kalamaki!!!!

Some more pictures! Look at my previous comments! You will not be disapointed here!

This Taverna provides its customers with excellent and very large portions of tasty and wonderful food! We have been eating at this place since 1998 and have never had a bad meal here! The Chicken Souflaki and the Village Chicken are excellent Dishes whcih are served to perfection!Spiro and Maria make sure that your visit here at the Tesoro is good! The Chicken Curry here is also a must. Try the House Wine here!! But be warned, its very STRONG!   There have been many of times when Tolis and Yiannis have been Staggering out of here!   The Garlic bread special is also to die far! Very Nice!!

 Well Done to the Tesoro and hope that you have an excellent end to the season, see you all next year and its depressing to be back home!

 

 

This is one of the best places to eat ion Kalamaki, and you can't fault the food or service. Quite frankly the bad review given, doesn't say very much if they would rather eat pizza in Lagana! We tried a variety of dishes over the course of our holiday, and they were all excellent!

We ate there 5 times in 2 weeks, and never had a bad meal once. From the welcome you get at the entrance, the service and attentiveness from the waiters, the fantastic value food, and good size portions, the whole evening is a pleasure.  You’re not rushed nor overly fussed over like in some other places.

I seriously can’t praise this place highly enough.

We recommended it to a couple of friends we met at the airport on the way to Zante. They went there for a meal and again, no complaints whatsoever.

I totally agree with Kirsty re have a good attitude to them and you will not go wrong. Like I said, this was our second year in Kalamaki, and the amount of people who remembered us and made us feel welcome was one of the main reasons that prompted us to book up again for next year.

Thanks for the excellent service, food and company Tesoro – see you all again next year.

We stayed in Kalamaki for the first time in May2006 family of six.We stayed in the Athina apartments excellent service and very clean.Having tried other eateries in the area.We found Tesoro excellent value,great food ,good menu and friendly service and therefore we ate there most evenings.We were so impressed with our weeks holiday,such lovely friendly people at the Tesoro.We are coming back in August 2007 for two weeks so keep us a table we will be joining you in the evenings.This time we are staying at the Amaryllis,but will definately be at the Tesoro for meals.
Roll on the 28th of August,I can't wait to get back.

  Cant understand Marks comment  We have never ever had a bad meal here and have been coming here for many many years !! Maybe mark is better off in big boys and stick to pizza and chips then !  Coz Tesoro goes out of its way to please people and will do anything to put things right .

we will be back in sept and cant wait

We have been going in the Tesoro for 10 years now,not once have we had a bad meal,the people there are very friendly,well, this is their living. If anyone has, for any reason, a complaint, im sure that the managment would soon sort out the problem.Like anywhere else in the resort,have a good attitude to them and you will not go wrong.

we came to tesoro for a meal and we ended up having the worst meal that i have tasted in the area

Yet again the best on the island.Huge plates and friendly service.If you are a regular and are looking for roz who has been on the door for a few years her and dennis from there have opened a bar called Therapia.Go and visit them as its lovely,its up past sophias.

This resturant was really good value and the portions huge.  My husband had Kleftiko one night which was very tasty and I had a chicken souvlaki.  It was the biggest plate of food I'd ever seen.  I'm sure they must have used a whole chicken for this meal.  I managed to eat most of it and it was very tasty.  The staff are really friendly and great with kids.  We visited this restuarant twice on this trip to Kalamaki and would definately recommend it.

  Many thanks Spiros and marie and yannis and nick for the lovely food and service again sorry didnt make it on last night of our week but will be back in sept for more

many thanks again see you all in sept from the Godden family  watch out there will be more of us in sept   

The waiters were very freindly the food was nice,cant wait to get back again in May only five weeks to go

tesoros was a brilliant experience i went with my family were very freindly  the waiters were very freindly

See you all in may as well as sept so looking forward to sampling some great dishes ! love Val and Ian

 Merry Christmas to you all ! Hope you are all well?

and maybe next year we will be eating at our fav place in the sun  missing you all  and the sun and most of all the great dishes you do !!! loveVal  Godden and all the family xx

We only discovered Tesoro a few days before going home but ate there every night after that, it was so nice here. Staff friendly and pleasant, food delicious. I had a carbonara one night and spaghetti bolognaise two other nights. The puddings looked gr8 although i didnt have one my family said they were amazing. Thanks for such lovely food

tesoro is the best in kalamaki-missing the provencal mushrooms and lamb in the oven already and we only retured home last night! the beef stiffado is fantastic , very suprized with the frozen imperial cocktail-it is in a pint glass then we realized imperial pint everything fantastic.

 We visited in August and September and enjoyed two lovely meals here.  The Chicken Souvlaki with bacon was lovely and the hubby enjoyed the stuffed beef burger.  The portions were much too big for my little appetite, but the food was delicious.  Staff as friendly as ever and the service was excellent.

Jeanette, Nigel, Amy & Ellie

We go to this Taverna every year and it is one of the best in Kalamaki, the chicken suflaki is a must here and the staff are all excellent, See you all next year!

The food was fine here but I can't say that it shone to the extent of saying it was excellent. Nice restaurant and setting but it is just that...nice not fantastic.

HELLO AGAIN TO ALL AT THE TESSORO, YES SPIRO AND ROZZ THATS YOU TOO !!! WE WILL SEE YOU ON TUESDAY NIGHT, HAVE THE WINE ON STANDBY FOR US !!  YOUR A TOP TAVERNA AND TOP PEOPLE=============  REGARDS  JOHN AND FAMILY. XXX

I am 14 and my family and I came to Kalamaki 10 years ago, we stayed in Vanessa Studios. Today i have been looking at photographs of our holiday in Kalamaki because we are returning in August this year, but going to a different Hotel. I have a photo of my brother, my cousins and I outside of Tesoro with two men.

Is the sign outside still a yellow rectangle with the word TESORO diagonally and RESTAURANT in smaller letters underneath ?? haha please message me back somebody I would love to know if they are still there!! However I will be finding out for myself in 3 weeks  Thanx

We have eaten at Tesoro for the last eight years. The food is the best in Kalamaki. The service is great.

August at 8. Make mine a village steak

Great food and great service one of the best again in Kalamaki

A very friendly place with excellent food and very helpful and pleasant service.  You can even have the odd lesson in Greek from Roz if they are not too busy.  The t-bone steak was cooked exactly as asked for and the local wine makes a good partner for a great meal.

Had 2 lovely meals there and we love it there.We went on our last visit to kalamaki and glad to say it was still great

HELLO TO ALL AT THE TESSORRO, WE WILL BE THERE IN 10 WEEKS, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GREAT SEASON,

  BEST REGARDS YIANNIS MAC FADDEN.

  We the Godden family will be back again this year but a change of month we always go in May and Oct. This time we are there in Sept.

So get the table ready Spiros! we are back ! We are so looking forward to  the wonderful food and service. The staff are good friends of the family now we are part of the furniture.

see you all in sept Spiros .

hi all staff at tesoro,

we ate at tesoros most nights and although it can get busy the food is always excellent and piping hot the waiting staff are very attentive and a special call out to dennis the head waiter  and shirley  who we can now call friends and spiros the boss who always seems to carry all the worlds worries on his sholders but when you get to know him he is a very generous man. Looking forwards to seeing them all again in august.the meals are the cheapest in the resort , and try the specials which are on the main menu but are about 6 euros  a bargain

  Hey !!!! I agree with the last comment Spiros and his team would just not do that!!!! We as a family know him and his team quite well and have been there for many years mostly 3 times every time we are in Kalimaki  thats twice a year some of us as family are there. They are fab people and we love eating there .

I don't know if this lady has confused us with another restaurant, but I can assure her that none of the people involved with Tesoro would treat an animal like this.

Would not eat there on principal after witnessing waiter cruelly kicking a poor starving puppy. 

  Just got back yet again Cant count how many times weve  been !!!!

But Spiros has done it again !! His team are excellent and the food is just as good as always .Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all and see you again next year XX Take care love the Godden family !

This was a great place to eat lovely greek food.We ate there a few times and the girl who was on the door was nice and not a pain like some others

hi pplz

I'm only a 13 year old girl and i thought this place was great, we were also staying in the athina apartments above which were very nice, and i definately recommend the athina and the tesoro and also the littleshop next to the guru, and because we were in the athina we got 15% discount

Don't be afraid to ask me questions just because I'm 13, and I am always looking to see if people have replyed, oh and I really recommend the pub/bar/club down the road to the right of the tesoro called the venue it's great and so is seamus, you wont miss him in his elvis wig and pig costumes, heres a few pictures of us

I love this place and it will definitely be my fist port of call on retruning to Kalamaki

 Why is there not a bigger thumb and a 'we loved it' rating on this website?This restaurant is fabulous! It was the third place we ate on our holiday and the only place we ate for the rest of it, the food is amazing (if you only find it on your last night have the lamb with oregano, you will not regret it, in fact this will be the reason you take your next holiday in Kalamaki!), the service is friendly and efficient (hi to everyone esp. roz and saki).See you next year!

here are some more pics of the great taverna!

karen and my mum

This is also one of the best resturants in Kalamaki.  I have been going to have something to eat at this restaurant for nine years and it is still the best.  The chicken souflaki is great and they do a brilliant chicken curry (which is miles better then Guru next door!) Yiannis and Tolis love the house wine!  

SOME PHOTOS TAKEN LAST WEEK!!!!

GREAT FRIENDLY STAFF,BIG PORTIONS,WE ARE TREATED LIKE FAMILY HERE,A GOOD SELECTION OF FOOD,TRY THE VILLAGE CHICKEN.TRY THE HOUSE WINE,YOU WILL BE SINGING ALL THE WAY BACK TO YOUR HOTEL,THANKS TO SPIRO AND ALL THE STAFF.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Waitors were lovely and friendly! Will definately return. Well worth a visit while your in Kalimaki.

This place is really nice, the staff are very friendly, because we stayed in the Athena we got a 15% discount! the prices were good not expensive. The portions are good sizes no skimping!

Hi Nicola.

Very helpful staff, with four teenage daughters and a wife suffering from stomach problems we needed a lot of help. we were all  very happy with the food and the service and the staff let us mix and match from the menu. 

THIS TAVERNA IS SITUATED ON KALAMAKI MAIN ROAD AJACENT  FROM CRONULLA BAR,A LITTLE FURTHER UP THE ROAD,NEAR THE ROSE AND CROWN.

TRY THE HOUSE WINE !!!!!!!!!!!

where iz this

this was the first place we tried over ten years ago and we have been using it ever since, top food, great home made wine.

Ate here a couple of times. Very friendly, very good meals, very reasonably priced, and a very beautiful young lady working there too.

We had a good meal here on our first night in Kalamaki. Very friendly but not obtrusively so. Yummy souvlaki and huge puddings. Recommended.

Thanks Yiannis for your help.We are staying at the sirene Apts as far as i am aware not far from Michaelos which sound good too.Been told these apts are on the main route into Laganas?will just have to see when we get there,really looking forward to it now 5 weeks to go and counting..many thanks once again

DENISE,THE PEOPLE AT THE TESORRO WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR DAUGHTER,THEY EVEN MAKE ENGLISH SAUSAGES WITH CHIPS AND BEANS,OR FISH FINGERS CHIPS AND BEANS,THEY DO JACKET POTATOES TOO,JUST ASK THEM.ALL THE FOOD HERE IS TOPS,WE HAVE BEEN COMMING HERE FOR 8 YEARS NOW,SOMETIMES WHEN WE GO,WE SHARE A COUPLE OF STARTERS,AND THEN HAVE OUR MAIN COURSE,THE GREEKS TEND TO ORDER ABOUT FIVE STARTERS AND 1 MAINCOURSE BETWEEN 3 OR 4,ITS THEIR WAY OF EATING.------ENJOY.

This place sounds great hope i can find it...my only problem is i have a really fussy tenager who will only eat pasta at the moment nothing fancy or baked potato with beans, does anyone know if they do this,as for myself and hubby and another daughter we will eat and try anything,but it can be hard to find places to suit my daughter so any other suggestions would be great....
