Reviews

Crazy good food at this wonderful spot in the center of Athens, at a place named fittingly for the atmosphere. What a delightfully different cafe, with great service, a modest and yet perfect menu of Greek and Italian inspired items. I would travel back to Athens just to have their Beef Osso buco again.
