Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Lawrenceville

Excellent food, but the cocktails are even better...!! Great service as well...

My fiancé and I went to dinner at Osterio Olio to celebrate our engagement. When we were sat at our table we were promptly congratulated, given celebratory champagne, and welcomed with warmth and genuine care! We were treated to two complimentary appetizers along with a complimentary side dish, all of which were delicious! The manager stopped to speak with us several times, congratulating us and checking on our experience the entire time we were there. The food was outstanding-every appetizer, our pizza, and pasta. There was not a bite we took that didn't impress us. More impressive though, is that a restaurant could make us feel so celebrated, special, and like the most important people in the room. By far our favorite place in Athens to celebrate.

This was our second time and it was a wonderful time again!! Just love it here , the staff and the attention fee get is amazing!!!! Thanks

We had an amazing dining experience! Our filet was outstanding, the broccoli and corn sides were amazing. The espresso martini- out of this world! We will definitely be back!!!

My wife and I wanted to try this place as she’s a big fan of Chopped. We got there early, sat at the bar and had a drink. Lovely ambience, well weathered bar top and friendly bartenders. Enjoyed it! Next we were seated by the windows looking out on the beautifully lit Peachtree St in the mostly empty, yet gorgeously appointed dining room. It was early -6:30 pm- on a Thursday which maybe explains the empty room. The servers were incredibly helpful, nice and knowledgeable. We both ordered steaks preceded by the shrimp and calamari appetizer and a shared wedge salad. The friendly (and large) doorman told us the calamari appetizer was to die for and he was right! A lovely bottle of Cabernet accompanied the Filet and Strip which were both cooked absolutely perfectly with a beautiful seared crust on the outside and medium rare inside. All the while, the room started to slowly fill up. I had read in reviews that the wait staff was exceptional-it truly was. We shall return with friends and family!
