Restaurants near South Main Street Historic District

Our family loves Emmy Squared. My new favorite pizza since they opened up. I love it. Pricey but worth it. They tolerate my kids, which I appreciate. Staff is okay. On one occasion the manager was even super kind and accommodating when I went in solo with my two kids and I really appreciated that. Best pizza ever.

It was an awesome vibe. Briana and Taylor were our waitstaff and they were great they checked in at like the perfect times, and not too much. We didn't like one of the sides, it may have been an off night for that batch, but without hesitation they asked out concern, and gave us a few options to choose to rectify the situation. Then, my partners bday cake they gave... It is for sure amazing! We will definitely return for a special occasion!

We have eaten at a variety of high end restaurants both in and out of the United States. This experience was top notch. The environment, service, food, and drinks were OUTSTANDING. The staff clearly loved what they did and it showed in their work ethic. We did the chef’s tasting and each and every dish blew us away. We cannot wait to bring friends and family back to experience Osteria Olio. Keep doing amazing work.

We dined for our Christmas Eve meal and place decorated tastefully and enjoyed the stringed lights while nice Christmas music played softly in the background. Food was outstanding from salad to turkey! Chloe our waitress was delightful and she’s an outstanding waitress. Manager stopped by to see how things were and wished us Merry Christmas. Overall outstanding Christmas Eve meal, atmosphere and service!

We are VERY sad tho hear that the new landlords have informed Cafe on Lumpkin that they can no longer remain in their current space. This is very disheartening. I really hope they are able to continue in a different location, and I hope the new owner of the building understands how disappointed the Athens community feels about the closure of Cafe on Lumpkin.
