Ovio

"Run by celebrity chef Panos Ioannidis, this restaurant is, without doubt, an excellent choice for those exploring the busy streets of central Athens. In this spacious setting, divided into three dining areas (one on the ground floor, a few tables upstairs, plus a pleasant terrace) the chef offers a menu based around Italian cuisine. This includes homemade pastas, such as the delicious Gnocchi with a velvety sauce, diced pear, grated walnuts and finished with gorgonzola in two textures. These are complemented by meat dishes and pizzas cooked in the wood-fired oven, plus an extensive selection of Italian wines and a balcony where guests can savour an array of impressive cocktails." - Michelin Inspector

"Chef Panos Ioannidis worked for years in restaurants in Italy before returning to Athens to create Ovio. The smell of fresh pizza from the wood-fired oven welcomes you to the cozy space, a casual setting for the restaurant’s fine dining. Along with pizza under various toppings, the restaurant serves mains like pasta and risotto, as well as vegan and vegetarian dishes. [$$$]" - Demetrios Ioannou

The night before we went to this restaurant, a friend of ours was telling us that he didn't like it. Thank God we did not listen to him because, overall, we had a great experience. The three dishes we ordered were superb with the only exception to the risotto with truffle chips that was too salty. The service was polite and genuinely friendly and the atmosphere was ok. Due to overcrowding, there were some issues with cleanliness (floor & tables). Lastly, expect a bill on the expensive side.

It's a great place. It's very difficult to find a place in Athens that offers this kind of service. This is the best service in the city center. It's like they brought Italy to Greece. Congratulations to all the staff.

Ordered a prosciutto truffle pizza. It was delicious. BUT if you love truffle, don’t take it. They put so little truffle in it just to justify adding “truffle” to its name, you almost won’t feel it. Haven’t seen anything like this in my life. For this price in Paris, France, I’ll get a pizza with x4 truffle. But yeah pizza is amazing, just take the regular one with no truffle

We reserved a table for dinner at around 18:30. The restaurant was rather quiet but it started to get more and more busy as the time passed. The food was delicious and the portions were of a reasonable size. Also the bill was normal. Overall, a lovely experience!

My recent meal at Ovio in Athens was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, it was a culinary journey that left me utterly impressed and deeply satisfied. The food was, without a doubt, the star of the show – absolutely awesome and wonderfully indulgent. Every dish that arrived at our table was a work of art, both visually stunning and bursting with incredible flavors. The chefs at Ovio clearly have a passion for creating memorable dining experiences, and it shines through in every bite. I particularly appreciated the generous portions and the rich, decadent nature of the cuisine; it truly felt like a treat for the senses. If you're looking for a restaurant in Athens that delivers an exceptional meal and a genuinely indulgent culinary adventure, Ovio is an absolute must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next opportunity to return!

OVIO in Athens is a fantastic dining spot with a cozy and inviting ambiance. The pizza Margherita was outstanding, with a perfectly crisp crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The spaghetti was also very tasty, cooked to perfection and rich in flavor. The service was excellent, with kind and attentive staff making the experience even more enjoyable. A great place to relax and enjoy quality food!

Unfortunately, I had higher expectations for this place. The staff was friendly, but they seemed too busy, and we had to ask several times for the same things. The area on the second floor was extremely noisy — at some point, we could barely hear each other at the table. The tartar Bolognese was mostly about the Bolognese sauce. However, the gnocchi and the risotto were both delicious. The salad wasn’t anything special or memorable. The desserts were enjoyable.
