    Montana was our server, and she provided outstanding service. The portion sizes were generous. The chef faced a challenge in getting the lambchop dish evenly heated; the outside was piping hot, but the inside was cold. Even after a second attempt to warm it up, the inside remained cool rather than hot. However, the dish was tasty and even better as a microwaved leftover! The complimentary valet parking was an added bonus. Be cautious with some of the dishes, as they can be very high in sugar, particularly if you're watching your carbohydrate intake. Overall, a great dining experience.

    Osteria Olio is a very chic restaurant but tends to have lots of noise if you are seated by the kitchen. We were at first but asked to be moved and were accommodated . We moved to a cozy table for four with a couch by the window. That alone plus having a great waitress ( Reilley) made all the difference in the world. The food / wine and dessert were delicious. Reilley was attentive, efficient and pleasant. The meatballs were outrageously great. Fusilli con Salsiccia was delicious…a little spicy .Definitely don’t miss this great restaurant in the Rivet House in Athens,Ga.

    We had an epic Thanksgiving meal that was well prepared and our server Riley was delightful. Riley steered us to some of her favorites starting with cocktails, ceaser salad, noochi, pork chop and two sinful desserts. We highly recommend this restaurant. The ambiance was a huge plus as was the valet service.

    We had the best experience. This is our third time coming here and yet again it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the service and staff are the best. My favorite place to eat in Athens. Plus the free valet parking makes the experience even better. Definitely get a reservation!

    This was our second time dining at Osteria Olio and it’s been a wonderful experience each visit. This time my wife and I were there for our anniversary dinner. When we arrived, they seated us and had a candle and an anniversary card, signed by the entire staff, already on our table. We got the Focaccia appetizer and there are no words to describe how good it was. We ordered the Ziti Alla Vodka and the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese for our entrees and split each one. As my wife put it, it was the best pasta she’s ever eaten in her life, and I couldn’t agree more. We ordered the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Hazlenut Semifreddo for dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. Our waitress, Marina, was so kind and very knowledgeable of the menu. She timed every course perfectly and I never once felt like we were being rushed. The rest of the staff is welcoming, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. I could not recommend Osteria Olio.
