Su e Giù
The Italian Excellence
Passion for food
As a typical backpacker, Susanna came to Naxos for the first time at the beginning of the 90s and it was love at first sight! After coming back each summer for almost ten years, she decided to move to her beloved island, opening an Italian restaurant pizzeria on Plaka beach. After years and various successful experiences in this sector, she was then ready to put into practice her university studies and sold her business, thinking she was done with pasta and pizza.
After five years though, passion for food came back stronger and stronger, probable inheritage of a long tradition in her family, and she finally went for a new experience, “Su e Giù”, a name carrying the double meaning of “up and down”, as her place is on two floors, and that of the typical “strolling on the promenade” as well.
I often happen to explain visitors that Naxos is traditionally and island of shepherds and farmers, not fishermen. Our land gives us incredibly high quality products: It would be silly not to try to do the best out of them!
This tradition has historical and geographical explainations: for centuries pirates infesting the sea pushed the local population more and more into the innerland, which was fertile and certainly less dangerous then the windy Aegean sea. That’s why, still nowadays, Naxos is famous for their cheesesorts, potatoes and vegetables in general, and their meat.
for choosing us and enjoy your meal!!!
