Sale e Pepe Mykonos remains a bastion of culinary excellence, led by the passion of owner Ivan Ottaviani, a certified sommelier whose influence is felt in every detail. For the 2026 season, the restaurant continues to showcase its award-winning wine cellar, which has repeatedly earned the Wine Spectator "Award of Excellence" for its curated selection of rare Italian and international vintages. The menu is a refined tribute to the flavors of Lombardy and beyond, featuring handmade pasta like pumpkin tortelli, creamy risottos, and perfectly seared veal scallopini, all prepared with imported Italian ingredients and fresh local produce. The setting is intimate and polished, offering a serene garden terrace that is beautifully sheltered from the Mykonian winds, making it an ideal choice for romantic dinners or quiet, upscale gatherings. Unlike the high-volume beach clubs, Sale e Pepe prioritizes a slow-dining philosophy where service is precise and the atmosphere remains calm and dignified. It is a destination specifically designed for those who value technical culinary skill and a world-class wine pairing experience over the typical island party vibe.
