Excellent and delicious! Exceeded our
Expectations! Food was amazing! Service was impeccable. Sat outside in the covered patio and enjoyed that fresh air feel with a warm heater above us.

In the conversation for the best restaurant in Athens. The grilled artichokes are not to be missed. On this visit, the Prosciutto Di Parma pizza and Butternut Squash Ravioli were outstanding. Cocktails and wine selection are top notch. Gelati e sorbetti is the perfect ending to a amazing dining experience.

Authentic food & kind, fast service. This is a random observation but something i pay attention to, their silverware is the cleanest I’ve seen lol. I also really loved the dishes they served their food in, super cute! The plate doesn’t come like that. I had a huge gap on my plate so i just put my side of brussel sprouts on there.

Great experience, food was wonderful and service was near perfect. The only reason I deducted a star from the atmosphere is I was facing the glass front wall at nightl and regularly getting headlights from across the street in my eyes, along with the strobe lights on the crosswalk just outside, which were a regular thing on a weekend evening. Not a fault of the restaurant itself, just try to face a different direction.

We emailed as per the voicemail message advised us to do and never got a call back.
We made our way there anyway and waited for a table which was not bad.
2 of us got sick after dinner….we shared the chicken parmigiana

Every day in America, a restaurant will cook a steak wrong. The restaurant will cook it more, exchange for something else, comp it or make it right in some way. This restaurant however chooses to argue with their customers about what was clearly an astonishingly over priced ($110) ribeye that was raw, thin, full of grissle and inedible. I value my peace over arguing with a manger and haven't done that in over 20 years, but this was the exception. I was appalled that this person would have such an attitude about something they clearly did wrong.
Unfortunately, the calamari was salty to the extreme, the focaccia bread was over
salted as well. The squash ravioli was great as was the shrimp scampi. There are way too many restaurants in Athens to bother with this arrogant, condensending overpriced mediocre restaurant. Do not recommend.

I haven't been to many restaurants where every aspect of the meal was this on point. Service, atmosphere and food was all phenomenal. Went for brunch and was greeted by friendly staff. Coffee was great, as were the appetziers. Grapefruit and latkes are absolute must-orders. The French Toast was some of the best I've ever had. That thing was a transcendental experience. Eggs in Purgatory were super flavorful. Side of scrambled eggs was cooked perfectly.

Seriously looking forward to coming back.

What a quaint, gorgeous place! Athens has changed so much, so quickly but when the change comes with establishments like this, it’s comforting to know that the spirit of Athens is staying alive. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The food was amazinggggg. We had cocktails, appetizers (arancini!!! Get it! and the la scala salad), pizza, and dessert. It is most likely seasonal but the blackberry tart is to die for! It was just so peaceful sitting on the porch here. The decor and atmosphere are so peaceful and you get a great view of people walking downtown haha! Best part? Despite all the vibes being there, this place isn’t at all pretentious. Thank you 🙏🏻 continue bringing light to the neighborhood!

I would highly recommend trying the street parking on the road across Lumpkin, the parking situation here is NOT good. I actually came into the restaurant quite grumpy and ready to give a non 5 star review because of the trouble I'd had parking but the quick service, great food, and good price points swayed me back.

I think the prices are VERY reasonable for upscale food and the quality and SPEED from the kitchen is VERY impressive. I want to really shout out the dessert's menu. EVERYTHING on it was absolutely delicious and maybe the best dessert spread I've had its Athens, both from the prices, quality and diversity.

This was such a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. To top it off, they surprised us with a special treat for our birthdays, which made our brunch even more memorable.
