Verdict for the best pizza in Izmir...is in Urla. It's out…read moreof the way, but worth the drive. The owner IS Italian. The pizza they make are all thin crust. Delicious. Want some bacon on your pizza? They have it here. As a matter of fact, they have a good amount of 'domuz' aka pork on the menu!

Midiye, mussels. Whichever way you say or spell it...it really doesn't matter. They are so so good…read morehere. Yes, you can get midiye from a street vendor. Sure. But you can't get a steam pot version from a midiye cart. Not can you get the awesome seafood pizza. The fried mussels are so delicious as well. I loved everything I had on the menu. Wash it all down with a nice, super cold Efes and it's a perfect meal out with friends! Weather is perfect for sitting outside. You can enjoy the scenery, the nice temperatures and people watch as well. I definitely recommend this place!

A All Mussel Restaurant! Great price! Air conditioned!…read more Definitely a good snack spot to stop by and perfect for mussel lovers! The price here is really cheap in comparison to the surround restaurant, and it is air conditioned, I mean, full blasted air conditioning. You should know what I mean if you are also traveling in the summer! Definitely recommend!

This is a great restaurant to visit for a long afternoon of al fresco dining. It is very rustic,…read morebut it is right by the water. We receive great service and food because a friend who has a great relationship with the owner and knows a lot about fish takes us there. On our first visit we had a fish called Dentex (sinarit) and the last one we had Dusky Grouper (orfoz). My husband and I love the sea bass (levrek). You can go inside the store (that is across the road) and select the fish and mezza you want. They also have homemade products like jams, olive and pickles for sale. Order a bottle of raki and you will be set for a great afternoon. They allow smoking in the tented dining area. This restaurant has changed hands since I went there.
