Chef’s Vision for “Pinocchio”
Kypsidis’ vision for “Pinocchio” in Corfu is to create a dining destination that celebrates local Corfiot flavors while incorporating the rich culinary traditions of Greece and Italy. His dedication to offering a diverse menu, coupled with the restaurant’s picturesque location, is expected to make “Pinocchio” a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
The opening of “Pinocchio” marks an exciting new chapter for Chef Nikos Kypsidis, expanding his culinary footprint to the beautiful island of Corfu and promising a fresh take on traditional and contemporary dishes.
