Best Italian in Athens. There are a couple of newer, trendy Italian restaurants, but you will get better food here. This is from a guy with an Italian grandmother who knows how Italian food is supposed to taste.

We have been to Osteria Athena several times over the years and it is always a wonderful experience. They have beautiful views through big windows onto Broad Street and campus and we live the cozy atmosphere. The food is classic Italian and always delicious. The prices are very reasonable too! Highly recommend the meatball appetizer, the lasagna, and the limoncello mule!

Service was wonderful! Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The owner, Drew, was so friendly, taking time to chat with us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. The bartender, Sammy, was extremely attentive, checking in on us often to make sure everything was perfect. And the food was absolutely delicious (and beautifully presented). Highly highly recommend!!
