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!

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.

Good food selection. Accommodating special needs & great service.

Our favorite dishes were the fried artichoke and the mushroom pasta. The olive oil cake was delicious. Wines and cocktails were good also.

Went here for Valentine’s Day with my husband. It was the coziest vibe with absolutely amazingly delicious food from start to finish. Service was also spectacular. Highly recommend the pistachio green cake for dessert. (I think it may have been a special?) but they need to make it permanent if that’s the case. Cant wait to go back.

Truly a gem. I cannot wait to drive the 2 hrs to return here. What an amazing experience.
We made reservations (highly recommended btw) and were seated at the bar. Cannot say enough about how amazing our service was from Russell. Best bartender ever. His recommendations and pairings were spot on. His help in accommodating my wifes allergies were on another level. Most places you’re lucky if they label. Here, he ensured every part of every couse and cocktail was safe for her.
Ordered a special from the valentines menu as well as a few other dishes from the regular menu. Everything was exceptional. Even the individual ingredients and additions. The feta cheese was literally the best Ive ever had.
This place is worth a visit from anywhere. And dont be shy to sit at the bar for your meal!!

Fun, delicious local spot great for grabbing dinner for seeing a show at Maine State Music Theater.
Pasta cooked to absolute perfection. There should be a line down the street every night for this pistachio cake.

We hosted a special birthday dinner here and it was great. We’re great cooks who know and love excellent food and Enoteca Athena impressed us. A terrific menu offering different flavor profiles. Excellent ingredients, expertly prepared delighted all four of us. Creativity in the menu as well, like using baby spinach instead of romaine in the Caesar salad. I wondered about it, but it really worked. And the white anchovies were terrific. The bruschetta were great. Service was expert and friendly. Try it, you’ll love it!

Such a really wonderful small restaurant! A real treasure. I had a delicious lavender vodka gimlet cocktail. The table shared bruschetta and fried artichoke hearts that came with a delicious dipping sauce. Our entrees were all beautifully plated and so good. Lastly, a lemon tiramisu for dessert. We will certainly be back!

A really nice mix of Greek and Italian dishes as well as a few Middle Eastern I believe. Everything cooked from scratch in the kitchen you can even watch them cook. Great location right on the main street.
Vegetarian options: Some great salads and house-made pastas.
Parking: Behind the restaurant opposite main Street is a free parking lot and you can enter the restaurant from behind.
Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on first floor easy access. The restaurant is wide open with plenty of space.

Enoteca Athena is a must-go. This is my favorite date night place to go in Brunswick. If you like mushrooms, try the funghi con panna.
Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options!
Parking: Parking of Maine Street can be a pain, during high traffic hours, so try the parking lot behind the building.
