A cozy Italian restaurant in Corfu
Standing a few meters down a small alley near Guildford Square is “La Tavola Calda”, a small and cozy Italian restaurant in Corfu town. This is the territory of Nino Frezza from Naples.
Nino has been at his craft for a long time, studying at Chef School in Napoli, later traveling all round Italy, gaining experience in hotels and restaurants. From there he traveled across Europe, working in London, Germany, Paris and finally Athens, where he arrived in 1995.
While staying in Athens, he formed the ambition to own his own place on a Greek island. After much deliberation he chose Corfu, for its beautiful environment and its population. In 2006 he finally achieved that ambition, opening his restaurant in Alepou, then moving in the city, where he lives today with his French wife Patty and his young boy and girl. He regularly works sixteen hours per day for his passion, and his devotion is clearly reflected on the end result.
His small yet beautifully arranged restaurant can accommodate twenty-six patrons inside and a further fifteen outside, when the weather is nice. Opening hours are 7.30 pm to 12.30 am, seven nights a week. Commenting on the food is unnecessary, as it speaks for itself.
