The people of Tinos call rakizio the place where raki is produced, although now the term has come to signal the new homonymous taste arrival in the gastronomy of the island. The brand new tavern in Ktikados is cool, it is youthful and casual, and it elevates the islands cuisine offerings with the guidance of famed chef Gogo Delogianni at the helms of the menu.Â
Naturally, good food can easily be liberated from the cliché of the sea view, as long as it is worth it. In Rakizio, it is definitely worth it, since in addition to its unique location, it spreads its tables on a huge veranda, with the eye gazing at the land of the island, creates with imagination, and hosts in its cellar whatever “supplies” you may need for summer decompression.
What goodies will you eat here? Gogo’s signature meatballs for which hymns and elegies have been written, an insurmountable caper salad with a light sweetness that goes perfectly with french fries or bread, delicious octopus bruschettas with pesto, the famous Tinian fried bread with sausage and chopped onion and whatever else your appetite craves.
Taking into consideration that summer is in full swing now, a glass next to a meze seems pretty appealing. In Rakizio, raki could not be less prominent – which is a typical local product – as well as a list of spirits, wines and beers that will uniquely fit your mood. And all this in a beautiful stone building thatmakes – as time goes by – all the visitors a group of associates of its modern stinging philosophy.
