The of us walked in without a reservation on a rainy Wednesday night in November. We got the last available table. Our server, Ali (Allie?) popped right up for drink orders. We also ordered our food. One DC had the tuna crudo which was very fresh and well prepared on cucumber slices. He only shared one with me but it was delicious. My SO and I ordered the lamb meatballs to start which were incredibly flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed them as a perfect start to the evening. Our DC ordered the shrimp scampi special which was at least 6 jumbo shrimp over garlicky, perfectly cooked pasta. My SO and I split the stuffed eggplant which was a good call. It was a whole l large eggplant cut in half and stuffed with veggies and feta. We split one half and took the other half home because we were full. It was very tasty and the eggplant was perfectly cooked. We shared the pignoli cookies for dessert (three cookies, one each - perfect portion). I felt as if I was back at my Nonna's house in a good way. All in all it was a delightful dinner. Ali was attentive and thoughtful and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. All three of us were discussing when we could return. Yum.

Fantastic meal. We went in on a whim and it was a busy Saturday night. Still got us in fairly quickly though. Worth the wait. Dinner was great. The desert was just as good. The drinks were better than anywhere else in town. Would highly recommend. Allie our server was a delight.

We hosted a reception at Enoteca Athena, and it was amazing from start to finish! The entire staff was so kind and on top of everything, making sure our guests were happy and the event ran smoothly (no one went without a full drink in their hand)! And the sommelier had an amazing wine selection and also helped us pick out some great signature cocktails. This entire event would not have been possible without Carla, the owner of Enoteca Athena. She was wonderful to work with—super responsive, flexible, and clearly cares about every detail.

The food was incredible (everyone is still talking about it!) and the drinks were just as good (highly recommend the strawberry fields cocktail in the summer). Everything was spectacular, but my personal favorite was the halloumi! The atmosphere was perfect for our celebration: cozy, lively, and full of charm.

It honestly felt like the whole team went above and beyond to make our afternoon special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate and may have to do this again every summer!

The staff was sincerely friendly, very knowledgeable of the menu, with great recommendations, and very attentive. The food and drinks were beyond expectations and we can hardly wait to return to try all their goodness soon.

Had a wonderful time! Our server, Paige, was personable and timely. Between the food and beverages, the entire staff curated an experience that stood out from other dining experiences in the area. 10/10 would recommend. (The arancini special and the funghi con panna were exceptional and the strawberry fields cocktail was noteworthy!)

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to host our wedding. The food was amazing , the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Thank you to the owner, Carla. She was so sweet to work with. Her attention to detail and genuine excitement made us feel so special to invite our family here to celebrate. We can’t wait to go back!

Our server was professional and attentive, checking back often. The restaurant has a warm, homey feel.
The food was spectacular! We started with the focaccia and compound butter, fried artichoke hearts and aioli and fish cakes. Everything was perfect! The fish cakes were fresh and delightful. The fried artichokes are a destination dish - must order!
For dinner, we had the spaghetti de mare with pea puree, shrimp, scallops, lobster and monkfish and homemade lemon spaghetti. Tasted light and fresh - not heavy like American-made pasta dishes often are. Fabulous!
Cacio e pepe was the special. We recently had the same dish in Las Vegas, but Chef Andy is the clear winner!
We took Nonna's pistachio olive oil cake home for dessert. The cake was moist and full of flavor, but not too sweet. Delicious!
We will definitely be back!

I’m glad that my friend made a reservation because this place was very busy on a Thursday night in late June. The food is great and the menu enticing. The portions are large. We split an appetizer. She had a salad as an entree and I ordered another appetizer as my main course. We couldn’t finish all of our food and I wound up taking some home. The service was a little slow and I thought that our server had forgotten us, but all was well. I live in the area and would go again, realizing that it would be a leisurely meal.

Enoteca Athena was superb. The meal was one of the best I've had in years. The service was excellent and every detail of the atmosphere pleased one of the senses. It might seem weird to say, but they did not forget the bathroom. I felt like I was in the home of a welcoming friend with excellent taste and great attention to detail.
