Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Athens

Thanks so much for taking care of my daughters last night! We had a wonderful time celebrating their successes at Frankie’s! The food was outstanding and so was our time together! Your staff and the service they provided was amazing!

As always great service. Our server was Belle she made great recommendations and checked on us frequently! Love the quaint ambience and the food taste authentic and yummy!

We reserved a table for 7 and were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated upon arrival. Since we were a larger group, we were seated in one of the private rooms, and the space was perfect for our small group. Our sever, Katie, was very friendly and attentive. She checked in on us often and made sure we weren't rushed. And the food was AMAZING! We ordered calamari, which was so tender and perfectly crisp, and the Maialino Flatbread which was amazing. For our entree meal, we ordered Branzino, which was fresh and flavored so well; Hangar Steak, which was so tender with a perfectly smoked flavor; and Fruitti Di Mare with mussels that were fresh and cooked to perfection. Katie topped our evening with a perfect birthday celebration with their in-house made raspberry-flavored gelato and surprised each of us with champagne! Overall, Sugo was the perfect place to celebrate our birthday group dinner. We can't wait to come back.

I have eaten at fine steakhouses all over the world - Europe, Asia, South America. This is my favorite of all.

My husband and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary at Cotton Calf Kitchen. It was our first time at this restaurant, and we had marinated Wagyu Hanger and Delmonico Ribeye steaks. We requested medium rare and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Our sides were grilled asparagus and broccoli and both were delicious. Our waitress was pleasant and cheerful and treated us to a complimentary dessert because of our anniversary. We will definitely return. Thanks so much Cotton Calf Kitchen for an incredible meal.
