- JJulieNew York City •10 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoLove this restaurant and look forward to Albany visits. Quiet Tuesday night. Service always good. Great old school (warm wood) atmosphere. Food wasn’t up to usual standard. Maybe an off night. Artichoke app was just ok. My Shrimp with pasta. The dish wasn’t that warm. The pasta was heavy. It used to be a light pasta to go with the shrimp. Shrimp was just ok. It was just ok. And not inexpensive. My friend had the ravioli special and enjoyed it. Lemon cake dessert and coffee were good. Will be back.More infoCafe CapriccioPrice: Expensive• Italian• Albany•4.7
- KKevinVIPNew York City •29 reviews5.0Dined 3 days ago5 stars all around! We hesitated to visit Athos, one of our favorites, after the original owner sold and we're sorry we waited so long, it was wonderful! We were greeted cheerfully, our server was very pleasant, accommodating and attentive and did a great job on his first day. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and the food was delicious from start to finish. The pita was warm and fresh and accompaniments tasty. Feta plate, greek salad and lemon chicken soup fresh and delicious. Mains of grilled salmon and lamb kebab with rice and greek potatoes also perfect. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! Clean, delicious fresh food, and excellent service...More infoAthos RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Greek• Albany•4.7
