Porto Antico Restaurant is a Paphos-area lunch or dinner choice for when you want the meal to feel a little more special: sea air, polished plates, and mains that arrive with real presence.
The restaurant sits in Coral Bay, Pegeia, close to the water on Throniou tis Panagias. It has the feel of a Mediterranean restaurant made for lingering: warm service, a view-led setting and enough confidence in the kitchen to keep the plates simple but carefully finished.
The menu is Mediterranean with a strong seafood and grill direction. Expect starters, handmade pasta, fresh salads, fish and meat dishes; the kind of menu where duck, lamb, fish and sauces all get proper attention.
Personally I would save Porto Antico for a relaxed meal rather than a quick bite: order a proper main, take the view, and let the place do its slower Mediterranean thing.
The portions are generous and plated with care. The mains feel substantial, with enough garnish and sauce work to make the dish look restaurant-level without losing the comfort of grilled meat and hearty sides, while the salad keeps the table feeling fresh.
