    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.

    We had a wonderful meal! Delicious! Our server, Marina, was nothing short of amazing!! Super professional, friendly, excellent service, with perfect recommendations. The only negative was the hostess, who was less than personable and not welcoming. Maybe she just had an off night? Overall we loved the place and are looking forward to going back.

    My biggest complaint was that the food was far to salty. You couldn’t appreciate the individual ingredients.

    Service was great during Sunday brunch. Food took a long time from receiving our pastry basket to our entrees. It was over 40 minutes. Brunch entree steak was cold and eggs were luke warm. Ricotta Pancakes were really good. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Would be nice for brunch that hot entrees are served on a hot plate if there is no food heater lamp. The day before we sat at the bar and ordered pasta for brunch and the flavors were there but dish was luke warm.

    Amazing little restaurant tucked away behind a row of office buildings. It’s grad week and we didn’t know to make a reservation, so we sat outside under the pergola where it was nice and quiet. It was cold, so they brought us blankets (heaters are being installed next week) which was thoughtful. Food was amazing, traditional Italian fare. They even have a curated family-style option where the server and chef curate a three course meal for the whole table which were definitely going to try next time. Service was exactly what you’d expect from looking at the place and the staff, professional, efficient, and absolutely on point. Management was interactive, checking on us multiple times and the bar was making amazing drinks. Big shout out to Katy, our server, who knew every dish and was fantastic all night long. This place is 100% worth the time and money you spend here!

    There are few places left in our wider dining culture that place a premium on service. Osteria Olio is clearly still one of them. From start to finish, the attention we received by the wait staff was the ultimate complimentary 'dish' to the meal itself. It was the hand signed birthday note to my son from the WHOLE staff waiting for us at our table OR the napkins lovingly refolded and centered when a guest left the table OR our waiter chasing down the mystery veggie in my wife's dish (it was a kumquat BTW). The food was tremendous. I could be way off but it felt like blends of Peimonte and Calabrian cuisine and was a delight at every bit or shared taste around our table. From start to finish, this was a dining experience not just another meal...
