Chef Dimitris Karouziotis
Dimitris Karouziotis leads the Napole Zoga kitchen with a culinary philosophy founded on respect for ingredients, seasonality, and a deep connection to the land. With 15 years at Lefteris Lazarou’s award-winning, Michelin-starred Varoulko and experience at the Italian restaurant Napul’è in Athens, he combines technical precision with a sense of restraint.
Chef Dimitris Karouziotis crafts a cuisine defined by the seasons, an absolute respect for ingredients, and genuine creativity. He personally selects the fish each day, while many of the vegetables, herbs, and fruits are grown in the restaurant’s own garden. The olive oil comes from the Aeolis olive grove.
His cooking is honest and direct. He does not seek to impress, but rather to reveal the truth of a flavor—creating dishes that capture the power of simplicity and the essence of the land.
Authentic Italian Pizza in the Aegean
At Napole Zoga, pizza is a ritual. Our dough, made from five types of flour and naturally matured, offers a light texture, rich aroma, and is easy to digest. Just like in Naples, it is soft and pliable, meant to be folded—never rigid. We use authentic DOP ingredients from Italy, such as San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella di bufala, paired with select Greek products. Our pizza is crafted with care, knowledge, and respect for tradition. View the pizza menu.
Our Philosophy
For us, hospitality is its very essence, not just a service. The chef and his team work with transparency, respect for the environment, and the aim to showcase the best that Tinos offers in a way that is contemporary, accessible, and inspired.

How we chose the name “Trattoria Napole Zoga”
The name Trattoria Napole Zoga expresses the restaurant’s identity, which connects the Mediterranean with the Cyclades, flavor with the place, and simplicity with culinary care. The word “Trattoria” refers to a hospitable Italian dining space, unpretentious but with deep culinary knowledge, where the quality of the raw material is paramount and the flavors have a homemade character. “Napole” comes from Naples, the birthplace of Neapolitan pizza and the Italian South, and inspires the Italian part of the menu, bringing to your plate ingredients, techniques, and mentalities from a gastronomic tradition with intensity, passion, and history.
“Zoga” belongs to the Cyclades. It is one of the oldest traditional fishing techniques in the Aegean, a word that carries the island air, the relationship with the sea, and the memory of places. It is used here as a symbol for how we “fish” — we choose carefully, retrieve with respect, bring to the table what truly deserves it. This is how the Napole Zoga experience is born: with roots in tradition and an eye focused on the essence of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine.
