" What a delightful gem! Osteria Athena is a must-visit for anyone serious about Italian cuisine. The seafood linguine was heavenly, with perfectly cooked shrimp and a subtle yet flavorful sauce that complemented the pasta beautifully. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal setting for a cozy dinner. Our host, Drew, was very engaging, which enhanced our experience. Highly recommend making a reservation as it gets busy on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic hidden gem! If you enjoy Italian food, you must visit Osteria Athena. We had an excellent experience and were greeted by the owner, who was super friendly. Both the burrata and mushroom risotto were delectable, making it hard to choose a favorite. The atmosphere was lively, perfectly suited for a casual night out with friends. I will be returning for sure; can't wait to try more of the menu's offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" We loved Osteria Athena! The atmosphere was cozy, and perfect for a night out. The stuffed mushrooms were phenomenal and definitely set a high bar for my main dish, the chicken marsala, which also didn't disappoint. Our server was knowledgeable and offered great wine pairings. Everything was fresh and made with care. This is now on the top of my list for Italian restaurants in Athens. Looking forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Osteria Athena based on recommendations, and I was not disappointed. The tagliatelle with mushrooms was exquisite, and the tiramisu was the best I've ever had! The only downside was the wait, as it took a bit longer for our meals to arrive than I had hoped. However, the staff did check in on us frequently, so we felt taken care of. Would definitely come back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time here, and I was impressed by the ambiance! Unfortunately, the meal didn’t wow me. The lasagna was underwhelming, lacking depth and flavor. The service was friendly but a bit disorganized, leading to delays in getting drinks and food. I appreciated the effort, but I hope their food improves upon my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

Service was incredibly attentive; I never had to wait long for anything. The owner even stopped by to check on us, which made the experience feel personal. I can't recommend Osteria Athena enough! " (*Curated Review*)
