" Such a beautiful little restaurant! I loved the family-run vibe. You could feel the love in the food; everything tasted homemade and authentic. The staff were friendly, but as the night went on, we felt a little rushed. Perhaps it was just a busy evening? Nothing could overshadow the quality of the food though, so I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tavolino has captured my heart! The meal was a magical affirmation of everything I adore about Italian cuisine. We indulged in a four-course feast that left us all in sheer bliss. Each plate was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. I particularly loved how Emily took the time to engage with her guests, expressing genuine care and passion for her craft. The only downside was that we felt a bit rushed towards the end, but honestly, it didn’t ruin our experience. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing wonderful things about Tavolino, my expectations were high. I enjoyed my visit and appreciated the care that went into the cooking, but I felt the four-course meal lacked enough variety to justify the price. The food was tasty and genuinely made with love, but I believe there’s a balance between creativity and customer satisfaction. I will come back but with different expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tavolino is nothing short of delightful! I walked in to a warm atmosphere and smile from the owner. We were celebrating a birthday, and she made the occasion even more special. The meal was pristine, each course building on the last. The desserts were perfect! I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family visiting Athens. Fantastic Italian tradition! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing service and an overall great experience! The four-course meal was fantastic, although the overall balance leans towards presentation over quantity. The limited menu allows them to shine, and they do not disappoint! I loved how personal the service felt, and I appreciated the attention to detail. I encourage anyone visiting Athens to stop by—definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a wonderful time at Tavolino. The cozy atmosphere gave us a warm welcome, and the food was heavenly! I personally loved the ravioli, but everything was incredible. We learned that Emily makes the dishes from scratch which made the experience even more authentic. However, do keep in mind that it’s a small space, so make sure to call ahead for reservations. We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meals are totally customizable based on the day or special orders! I was absolutely blown away by the flavors! The desserts were some of the best I’ve ever had—the lemon cake was a standout! Not to mention, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, making the environment feel like home, which is what I love about family-run establishments. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
