    Love to visit at any chance. Service is fantastic. We are always happy to follow their proposals. It is one of the very few places in the region with clean toilets!

    I had the seafood pasta here but I don’t think it’s worth the price I paid for it. The staff was responsive, friendly and and helpful. The restrooms are well maintained and cleaned. You can also hear the noise from the streets outside quite loud while seating inside.

    A very cozy osteria, hidden in the center of Athens, away from the crowd. This little Italian restaurant offers a great variety of salads, pizzas and pasta to die for... They even have gluten-free pasta! I must add that he waitress was very friendly and helpful.

    Blown away! Exceptional service by the waitress and staff! She recommended the truffle pasta which was flavorful and oh so delicious! In addition we ordered a salami pizza and it did not disappoint. They were very generous with the meat toppings and it had just the right amount of sauce! Crust was crisp and fluffy! Cannot recommend this place enough! Great little Italian restaurant!

    We had an awesome time here. We (Me and my partner) both went with pasta. The food was delicious and I felt like I just visited Italy for a moment. The waiter was very friendly and spoke English fluently. The restaurant is pretty small, but that just makes it better because our food was prepared in around 10 minutes. We were also given cold water and bread slices with olive oil. Overall I cannot say a bad world about this restaurant

    FANTASTIC Italian food in Athens. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❣️After 3 weeks of Greek food, we were ready for Italian. Service & food were exceptional🤩We all previously went to Italy and thought this was as good. We accidentally went to the 2nd location. They were so sweet to call the other location to let them know that we were on our way.

    The reviews are not wrong! This place is fantastic and maybe some of the best pasta we've had outside of Italy. The food is made to order, the pasta is handmade and fresh, and the truffle pasta is out of this world. Great experience, thank you!

    I had a pleasant time here. Food was delicious, server was very kind. Jar of water and plate of bread were provided without being charged. If i ever visit Athens again, I would like to visit here once more.

    If you come to Athens and you don't eat at Brigante at least once you are missing out!! Great staff, incredible pasta and I can't emphasise that enough.

    Great italian place in the heart of Athens. The food was very tasty, we had the day special which was risotto with chicken and mushrooms. We also had a salad as a starter. Service was fast and friendly. We had tiramisu for dessert but we didn’t like it. Still 5 stars!

    Great place & service. Loved the wine we had. We tried salad, pasta and pizza; all were delicious. Not the most reasonable pricing but it definitely worths.

  • 5/5 Charles S. 1 year ago on Google
    What a delightful surprise! During our visit from the States to Athens, we were staying in a hotel near Brigante, and happened on it during our walk. It's a real find. The food was delicious and plentiful as well as reasonably priced. The owner and servers were so attentive and friendly. Additionally, they explained how to make the dishes the three of us were served. Small is sometimes better. We had pizza, ox-tail meat red sauce pasta and shrimp pasta, all great. They also provided an extraordinary flan dessert with chocolate and plum sauce, we shared. Off the charts. I give it a 6 out of 5 on taste, price and service.

    Absolutely amazing lunch, we wish we were staying in Athens longer to try the Pasta. We had the spicy pizza and mustard chicken salad and both were 11/10. Left craving more :) staff was great as well!

    Cosy italian restaurant on a small covered walkway near Syntagma square. Friendly staff and remarkable dishes. Their pizza and pasta quality is rarely found in the tourist areas around the city center

    The food was fresh, well seasoned and the service of food was very fast. We emptied our plates. A little quiet when we got there but it was mid week and it was rather nice for it to be quiet. Waiter talked me through drink options and was very helpful and approachable. Atmosphere has a rustic Rome feeling and I would happily eat here again any day of the week just to try everything on the menu.

    My sister and I are from the states. Came here because of all the great reviews. Nice tucked away place away from the crowds. Enjoyed a bottle of wine (so cheap!), the pesto pasta and pomodoro spaghetti. All homemade pastas - so delicious! Highly recommend.

    Dinner with 2 - the service was friendly and quick. We had the pasta, which is home made and a spicy salami pizza, which were both outstanding. There was also a serving of warm bread with olive oil and balsamic that come with the meal. There is also a good selection of wines available - and everything is very well priced for the city. We sat in the little alleyway, and while it might detract some people, it was quiet and cozy.

    Great food. Pasta is made fresh and all the sauces are fresh and nicely balanced. The staff is friendly. You can choose from different fresh pastas to match with your sauce. Prices are very reasonable. Would certainly eat here again.

    This is a small Italian restaurant. Easy to miss if you walk by, but don't. It is a treasure. Really great, genuine, tasty food. The service is excellent, and the coffee is great. If forced to mention any negative it would be that it is close to a busy road so it is a bit noice from traffic. So if your goal is to "rest your ears" perhaps it would not be the first choise, but if you want some truly great Italian food, this is definitely the place to go.

    Very good place in the center of Athens, for those who love Italian cuisine. Place is very small, but cameral. Food delicious and cheap. For 2xpasta, 2xglass of vine and 1xpizza we paid just 30€. Fair portions with good and fresh ingredients.

    We found this little gem online, only a short walk away from our hotel. Although the menu was quite varied for such a small establishment, we only wanted a light evening meal and decided to share the Capricciosa pizza (prosciutto, olives, mushrooms, anchovies with mozzarella). It was the perfect size for 2 people, and this thin crusted pizza was excellent! The restaurant is very clean, and looks unassuming from the outside. The service was friendly and food excellent- we would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    We are visiting Athens and stopped here before visiting the Parliament. The pizzas were delicious. Stone baked, crunchy yet chewy crust with a yummy red sauce. Yummy. Recommend if you want pizza that hits the spot.

    What a fantastic find of a little restaurant! Wonderful real neapolitan pizza and home made fresh pasta, cooked to perfection. The carbonara must be the best we have tasted anywhere 😋 Top class service and real Italian home cooking! Do not miss the opportunity to eat here when visiting Athens. We will definitely come back!

    I enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner in this cute little Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and affordable. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed my dinner there. Would definitely recommend it to anyone craving a good Italian pasta dish.

  • 4/5 Aaron T. 9 months ago on Google
    Went for an early dinner here after the great reviews. Probably the best pasta we had in Greece, but that bar is low in my opinion. Very reasonably priced and good service. It is a small dining area, so go early or you may have to wait.

  • 5/5 GEORGE M. 1 year ago on Google
    All ingredients were super fresh, and tasty. It tasted like truly authentic Italian food. The salad was very fresh and overall the food was great and with great service too. I highly recommend trying the Amatriciana!

  • 5/5 Ellen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Had food from Brigante 3 times whilst in Athens - once dine in, twice takeaway. The gentleman that served me was always so polite and accommodating. Provided a menu in English each time and offered water while I waited for takeaway. The food is delicious and full of flavour, and the seating area is warm and cozy.

    A husband and wife team that prepare the most authentic and outstanding regional Italian dishes! The homemade pasta was so good we have been here several times during our visit to Athens and they made us feel like family! A rare treat and treasure! Don’t miss this special gem, you will be delighted!

    My mom and I were looking for a delicious pizza, so we wandered around Athens and saw a little yellow sign pointing down an alleyway that said “pizza and vino.“ The exterior and interior make you feel as if you’re venturing into a Wes Anderson film to have pizza! As we walked into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the kindest, warmest man who owned the place. He walked us through how to order, his recommendations (which he will base off of your mood, I loved that) and helped me pair my Bianca pizza with a lovely glass of white wine from Greece. Both of our pizzas were the best we’ve ever had—and we’ve eaten a lot of pizza in our lives! But the authenticity and the honesty in each ingredient made this pizza special. I highly recommend the Bianca pizza with the Buffalo mozzarella paired with a white wine and taking a loved one or a foodie friend to experience this place. It’s such a memorable spot.

    Revisit within two days. Amazing food, fast serving, reasonable prices and cozy environment. Both quinoa salad and beetroot salad are fresh, scampi pasta is fantastic. Tiramisu is a delight. Highly recommend!
