    We looked for this restaurant tucked away on a side street because of the great reviews it got and did it ever not disappoint! Excellent food, done with care and taste. Great staff that is very professional and helpful. We had a great chat with the chef, Andreas, and he really seems passionate about food and hospitality. A great find and looking forward to go again.

    It has delicious Italian pasta. I highly recommend this place for authentic Italian experience. Pasta is cooked just on time and sauces are tasteful. Service is good and friendly. At the end try their homemade sweets.

    We tried it first time as we ‘ve read all the positive comments and we love Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, both pasta we ordered (pesto and prosciutto chips and linguine with cray fish and truffle paste) were way below expectations. In both dishes the pasta, although properly boiled, was too oily and could not keep the sauce. Moreover both dishes were totally indifferent in terms of taste. The pesto got better after we added parmigiana and asked for extra sauce. Another mistake, cray fish although declared as cleaned, should have been brought as a whole and not cut in small pieces. On the positive side, the tiramisu was great and the staff was very friendly and polite, on top of a very cozy setting. We will try it again as we hope this was just a bad day, since most comments praise it

    The best amatriciana in town...! Cannot recommend this incredible restaurant enough. Located in a tiny alley in the heart of Athens, it's quiet, cozy and lovely. The food is amazing, the staff polite and cheerful and the atmosphere homey and romantic. Will come back soon!

    A real trattoria in the heart of Athens! In a green area a place that you will eat real Italian food! Andreas’ home made Focaccia is a must!

    The best Italian restaurant in Athens. All the pasta dishes are fresh and very tasty, and the atmosphere is very warm. One of the hidden diamonds in the Athenean gastronomy.

    My new favorite Italian restaurant in Athens. Tucked away between Kolonaki and Exarchea, this small family run restaurant has the right atmosphere and welcoming attitude to be in Italy. And, the food is wonderful as well. Visited twice on my last visit to Athens and will be a regular in the future as I return.

    Quiet, beautiful place in the center of Athens. Best Italian original food you can find. Really tasty, not heavy at all. Great wine list and true value for money!! Must pay a visit!! Must try: spaghetti ave cozze and the bresaola dish of the day!! Bottle of house wine also exceptional! 🍷 The service is very kind and the chef is really friendly!

    Average experience. Good location, lovely owners and staff. However the food was less than inspiring. Very average and not typical Italian. Sadly you can cook better Italian food at home.

    Loved this Italian restaurant. The pasta we had, spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti ametricana were delicious! The house wine well priced and perfect with our pasta. The venue is really nice to tucked away but high ceiling great decor and vibe. A real family feel to the place. The owner, his wife and staff very welcoming. 5 star experience for us

    Best pasta I've had during my entire trip in Greece. The waiter was so nice and also wanted to practice his French.

  • 5/5 Susan from A. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful authentic Italian trattoria, with a good menu, lovely salads, imaginative and delicious antipasti and superb pasta. The lemon linguine with artichoke, the caccio e peppe with asparagus is delightful and delicate and the house white is fresh and eminently quaffable. Highly recommended.

    This place was the best meal I had while in Athens for 5 days - so good that we went back a second night. The chef is a man of great talent that knows how to cook pasta just the right al dente and is very friendly. We had the Carbonara and the Spicy pasta. Both incredible and the place deserves every bit of 5 stars. Thank you for a great meal that we will not forget.

👍 A place where locals eat. Not a tourist spot. Food is spicy and full of flavor. Beware the spicy sojouk is actually the hottest food we tried in Greece.
