Great restaurant! My wife & I weren’t sure where to go. I Googled “Best Restaurants in Athens, Ga”. Frankly, I had to scholl through 3-4 pages and Ossetian Athena finally came up … we’ll worth the wait! My wife & I had a great over appetizer, Mushroom Bruschetta, Caesar Salads & Salmone Al Pistacchio including an Italian Blend … simply outstanding! On top of all this, Drew, the owner, was a GREAT HOST! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Our favorite restaurant in Athens. Service is excellent. Noah was great. Food is always amazing. Such a charming place!! I can’t wait to go back!!

Osteria Athena is an Italian restaurant that offers a mixed dining experience, featuring a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, creating a family-like vibe that many customers appreciate. The restaurant's ambiance, with its "unleveled" floor and "old building" charm, has received mixed reviews. However, the overall quality of the food and service appears to be on the rise, as recent reviews highlight the "delicious food," especially the panna cotta dessert, caesar salad, and classic Italian dishes like the meatball appetizer and lasagna. The owner, Drew, is noted for his warm and welcoming demeanor, while the bartender, Jarrod, is recognized for his kindness and knowledge of the menu. Many guests have enjoyed the espresso and tiramisu, considering them the stars of the show. While some find the lighting a bit too dark, Osteria Athena continues to be a great spot for various occasions, from a quick bite to a celebratory dinner. It has established itself as a cozy, family-style Italian eatery with a focus on classic, delicious cuisine and attentive service.
