Had a wonderful experience here at the bar for an early dinner. The ambience is lovely, the menu is concise, executed with quality ingredients and presented with warm service. This spot is excellent for all occasions; a quick bite, a date night, or a celebratory dinner with a larger group.

Highly recommend the caesar and pastas, but the espresso and tiramisu were the star of the show. Jarrod behind the bar was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the menu, and made a gorgeous espresso martini. Gem of a place!

I popped in solo on a random Tuesday evening I had a great experience. The food, wine, limoncello, atmosphere, and staff were amazing! I would highly recommend!

The food was delicious. Staff attentive and knowledgeable. Its a little too dark in there, they could turn the lights up a little. But then again, im a little older than a college student 😉

While walking down the road I noticed their menu and decided to give it a try. Wow, what a great surprise. Met the owner, Drew, who was very welcoming. I’ve never been to Athens, but I have had authentic Italian, and I will be sure when Im back in town, I’ll be stopping in again.

The best Italian food in Athens I’ve had, no question. The ambiance is awesome, very true to other ‘fine-dining’ type places in Athens, definitely a step up from your average burger joint but not so fancy it makes you feel underdressed in a polo and shorts. Our server, Noah, was great, and who I’m assuming was the owner was also there, checking in a few times throughout the meal to see how everything was. We started with the caprese salad, which was delicious, not too much pizzazz, just good mozz, fresh tomatoes and basil. For our entrees, I had the crab and shrimp pasta, and my partner had the caserecce alla campagna (ribbon pasta with italian sausage). It was excellent! Pasta was great, the shrimp was nice and plump, and the crab really shined through the whole dish. Same with my partners, great flavors, good portions, everything you could ask for. And the whole damn meal was cooked up by one guy! We were blown away. The tiramisu was just the icing on top, super delicious and creamy. Safe to say we’ll be back, and I’ll be recommending this til my face turns blue.

The food was incredible and the building has so much charm! It feels like you’re tucked away in a tree house. It’s a perfect date night that won’t break the bank. Can’t wait to go back!

Service felt rushed. I was still eating my entree when the waiter asked if he could get us dessert. In fact, I had bread in my hand and some on my bread plate and the waiter took the plate out from under my hand. Food itself was unremarkable except for the bread. The bread was very good.
