We just came back from Athens last night and wanted to put in a quick word about Marco (the host) and his restaurant. The restaurant serves delicious chicken roast, greek salad, olive oil with bread and Marco is such a gracious host that he even served us free dessert and ouzo! The prices are extremely reasonable and the helpings very... more

We had dinner twice at Aspro Alogo. Each time, Markos' was a most welcoming and generous host. The menu is fairly simple, but the fresh Greek salad, oven-baked chicken, and moussaka dishes were tasty and the bill was very reasonable. As mentioned, the restaurant is not in an obvious location. From Syntagma square, head West (Parliament building behind you) along... more

I am Greek and due to the fact I worked near this place, I have visited the store sometimes. Last time, was a month ago... But seeing it today again as #1 in Athens, I feel higly motivated to write my review, just to put things right and in order. Today i realised that, sometimes, all of us as tourist,... more

After reading other reviews for this restaurant, we thought we would give it a try. To be honest, after we walked up to it we weren't sure we wanted to try it. But what the heck...we had come this far. (we being four adults in our fifties and sixties who are independent travelers, and who have traveled all over the... more

We enjoyed eating here. We were staying just around the corner at the Amazon Hotel. The friendly proprietor was glad to help us choose some vegetarian dishes, along with an appetizer of fried fish. The meal was very good, not elaborate, and we enjoyed being there. more

I can't say enough lovely things about Marco and his restaurant. It's a simple cozy little place tucked away on a sidestreet away from the bustle of the tourist throngs. There's no more than 7 or 8 tables in the place - a few of them out on the sidewalk. This is nothing like the insanely crowded places surrounding Monastiraki... more
