Gloria Gati is the new restaurant of chef George Papakostas who jokingly refers to Gloria as the older sister of Vittoria Gati, another famous restaurant of his in Glyfada. Gloria is located in a historic building in the Athens center just 50 meters from Syntagma square. It is defined by an eclectic vintage design in a very cosy space where the pizza oven takes center stage. The bar serves award winning cocktails and over 100 wines from Greece and around the globe. The menu is Italian with a focus on homemade pasta and quality meats. The pizza is made from a 1937 sourdough and baked in a traditional oven imported from Naples. Some of the signature dishes include the steak tartare, arancini bolognese, the raviolo cacio pepe, the reginette al tartufo for truffle lovers as well as pollo francese and the ossobuco which is cooked for 12 hours. A tiramisu is a must here accompanied by a single estate espresso. Outside seating is available all year round in the courtyard of St George church

Οι προσδοκίες μας για το φαγητό ήταν μεγάλες αλλά δυστυχώς δεν επιβεβαιώθηκαν,πήραμε δυο πίτσες οι οποίες ήταν πολύ νόστιμες αλλά οι επιλογές στα ζυμαρικά είχαν αρκετές αστοχίες,η καρμπονάρα είχε μια δυσάρεστη γεύση η οποία προέρχονταν μάλλον από το αλλαντικό και τα ραβιολι τυριών που δοκιμάσαμε ήταν αρκετά ander cooked.επισης αρνητική εντύπωση μας έκανε η μη αντ ικατάσταση της φιάλης του κρασιού αφού είχαμε εντοπίσει φελλό στο κρασί,το οποίο δεν μου έχει ξανά συμβεί πουθενά.Ελπιζω να ήταν μια κακή παρένθεση το χθεσινό και να έχουμε την ευκαιρία να αλλάξουμε γνώμη την επόμενη φορά.

Great quality of food and overall great price/quality.
Horrible CX, they brought us San pellegrino without asking (7€ vs 3€ of the cheapest sparking water they had) what our preference was. When I asked them why, the answer was a simple we run out of the other options. This is not acceptable in a restaurant of this level. Another orrible experience was the continuous updating of the bill, like we were about to escape. This is really not at high bar of a good restaurant. Last but not least, music was extremely loud for being 7:30/8 PM, it was hard to hear anything else.

Intimate Italian restaurant with a very romantic atmosphere. We enjoyed our dinner outside. We were extremely impressed by the choices and tastes of the delicious food. Service was impeccable. The wine steward was very informative and provided us an overview of select Greek wines. We will return!

We shared a beautiful bruschetta caprese which was outstanding! I had the risotto with meat sauce. The rice was a little underdone for my taste and the temperature of the dish when served was just above room temperature. I prefer my risotto cooked through, and served hot. The taste was very good, however, and because I was on a schedule, I didn’t
complain and give them the opportunity to make it right. Tricky thing, risotto.
The bride had the paccheri alla vodka and enjoyed it, although she didn’t finish it. I tried the chicken and a bit of her pasta and while the pasta was cooked perfectly, the chicken was well over, for my taste.
Service was good, prices reasonable.

When we arrived they sat us at a very small metal/iron table and chairs When asked to be moved to a larger marble table and chairs with cushions, they said the table we had was what we reserved although we reserved outdoor seating (not a particular table). Reluctantly, they finally gave in but said we have to leave by 10pm (it was currently 8:15pm)because that table had a reservation. There were about 7 other tables just like it that were available. Service as good, food terrible. Husband ordered the Spaghetti Cabonara, (terrible funky flavor). I had the Polpette(meatball)they were so mushy you couldn’t get them out of the serving dish without them falling apart. Also not good flavor. The bread was homemade and amazing! Maybe we should have ordered the pizza!
