Gloria Gati is the new restaurant of chef George Papakostas who jokingly refers to Gloria as the older sister of Vittoria Gati, another famous restaurant of his in Glyfada. Gloria is located in a historic building in the Athens center just 50 meters from Syntagma square. It is defined by an eclectic vintage design in a very cosy space where the pizza oven takes center stage. The bar serves award winning cocktails and over 100 wines from Greece and around the globe. The menu is Italian with a focus on homemade pasta and quality meats. The pizza is made from a 1937 sourdough and baked in a traditional oven imported from Naples. Some of the signature dishes include the steak tartare, arancini bolognese, the raviolo cacio pepe, the reginette al tartufo for truffle lovers as well as pollo francese and the ossobuco which is cooked for 12 hours. A tiramisu is a must here accompanied by a single estate espresso. Outside seating is available all year round in the courtyard of St George church

    Shrimp dumplings 8/10, perfect plate presentation, but the pasta was a little bit overcooked. Beef salad 9/10, great balance between the ingredients used. The amount of beef will satisfy you. King crab sushi 8/10, good tatse, but the rolls weren't shaped as good as you would expect for a plate of its price. Tuna sushi(not the spicy one)10/10, the best of what we tried regarding the main course. Great balance, great taste. Yuzu with white chocolate for dessert 10/10, the best choice we made overall. Great presentation, it was a lemon-like ball filled with sour syrup that complemented the white chocolate crumbs in an excellent way. Unfortunately, there was no room to seat the one next to the other and sometimes we had to yell to be heard. The dress code is supposed to be smart casual, but most of the ladies were wearing the dress that they would wear on Christmas eve 😂 Good experience, but overpriced for what you get.

    An absolute gem. Great quality food and exceptional service for the price. If you are looking for a nice meal out without spending a fortune, I cannot recommend this enough. The wine I selected was unavailable, and I was offered three similar recommendations or the option to review the wine cellar to choose my own. Will definitely return!
