5 Best Italian Restaurants near Athens

“Almost didn't stop because I couldn't see in but so glad we did! The staff is amazing and they have AMAZING food! My Philly cheesesteak sandwich came out and I asked where was the cheese and the young man said it's in there.....and oh boy was it! The baguette type hoagie roll held a concoction of meat, peppers and onions and this delicious, cheesy sauce....SOOOO GOOD!!! The bottom of the bread was slightly soft from the melted cheeses and the bun was light and crispy. The house calzone was HUGE! Although you may want to request extra ham but it is overloaded with ricotta, mozzarella and an awesome crust! Go in and eat now!
I also noticed people coming in for carry out pizza every few minutes.

What a hidden treasure!“

“Best pizza anywhere!!! Sooo gooood!!“

“All I can say is “Wow!” I came in based on a recommendation from a client. Not a local but willing to try something new while in the area for work. Hands down, best calzone I’ve had in years! Thank you for the fantastic experience this evening. My food was amazing and the service was outstanding! 5 🌟“

“Best pizza is Huntsville! My family and I are regular diners at the wood fire grill and the pizza is consistently AMAZING!!! We ordered pizza tonight for movie night and the kids were so excited. Jessie is a breath of fresh air. She runs the restaurant extremely well. Not only does she have strong managerial skills, but she always remembers our names and asks about our babies. ☺️ She really makes the place special.“
