"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

A must try!! This restaurant is truly unique. All plates we tried was beyond tasty. An interesting twist of Italian cuisine, executed in an wonderful way, making it an experience. The “fagri” tartare, was truly extraordinary, one of the best dishes we have ever tried. The style of pizza is also something unique, not your typical Neapolitan dough, but keeping the soft fluffy texture. All main dishes were flavourful with wonderful combinationof ingredients. Cacio e pepe was a bit below expectations, however we enjoyed all. Menu is slightly confusing presented, however it offers a great representation of a creative alternation of an italian cuisine. The woman that served as, was truly welcoming and hospitable with a lot of knowledge on the field and good energy. However, regarding the rest, service was slightly slow not matching what it tries to offer. Inside was a nice atmosphere and detailed design. We sat in the outside area, which was cozy and simple, bit noisy due to crowd and we would like to have some slow music which could be represented the style of restaurant as well but defined not bother us. Overall the whole experience was great. Definitely recommend everyone who would like to enjoy a tasteful infused italian cuisine journey. We will definitely coming back for the tartare and to tryout the courses we have not yet been able to try!!

Highly recommend if you’re a bit tired of Greek food during your trip. The blue crab risotto and beet pizza were the standout dishes of all that we ordered. Beef cheeks were good but didn’t blow me away like the other dishes.

I didn't expect to find such an exceptional Italian restaurant in Greece, but here we are. Fresh products are the key for amazing dishes and this restaurant knows it. You can feel the high quality ingredients in every bite, especially the Pizza. We had gnocchi, blue crab risotto and margarita pizza, followed by chocolate pistachio dessert. Everything was amazing and tasty. I would love to come back in the future!

I had an incredible dining experience here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and elegant, striking the perfect balance between fine dining and authentic Italian hospitality. The menu is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients, and every dish was beautifully presented. The pasta was perfectly cooked with rich, balanced flavors, and the mains showcased both creativity and tradition. The service was outstanding: attentive without being intrusive, with staff who were knowledgeable about the dishes. A true Michelin-level experience in Athens — refined, authentic, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Italian cuisine at its best.

Honestly came in on a whim and had no idea what was in store! Fabulous food, was something different that we weren’t expecting, their pizza of the day was a great staff recommendation, delicious and vibrant best pizza I’ve had in a long time, Cacio Pepe was super flavourful and I savoured every bite, my partner had the risotto with crab which was creamy and sweet and so well balanced even I was scooping spoonfuls of his plate, definitely have mangospritz while your their or their seasonal spritz which was a sweet syrupy strawberry spritz which was delicious The best surprise while being in Athens

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.

I had greater expectations for the margarita pizza, especially from a restaurant run by a celebrity chef. Nevertheless, I enjoyed very much my calamarata pasta and the tiramisu. The caprese with burata was also a bit disappointing…

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.
