Located at the Rivet House boutique hotel within the Southern Mill development in Athens, Osteria Olio offers a unique approach to fine dining that marries sophistication with comfort. Situated at 355 Oneta Street, this Italian restaurant challenges typical high-end dining stereotypes by delivering exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and hearty portions of thoughtfully crafted dishes. Opened on June 7, Osteria Olio operates alongside the Rivet House, owned by Jessica and James Wheatley, who transformed a historic textile mill into a contemporary hospitality destination. With its elegant decor and family-style dining options, the restaurant positions itself as a standout for special occasions.
Osteria Olio's three-course “Family Style” dining experience, priced at $65 per person, is a highlight. Featuring chef-curated selections, the menu blends traditional Italian recipes with Southern influences. Guests can enjoy dishes such as meatballs in red sauce, mushroom pizza drizzled with black garlic, and veal chop marsala. Appetizers and entrees are expertly paired, with flavors both bold and comforting. Attentive service, free valet parking, and generous portions contribute to a memorable experience, with plenty of leftovers to take home. Osteria Olio proves that fine dining can be approachable while maintaining its luxurious charm.
