I just enjoyed a lovely dinner at the bar. The bartender, Russell, was very attentive despite serving food to a full bar and provided wine and cocktails to the entire restaurant. I had the carciofini fritti (fried artichoke hearts), funghi con panna (mushroom pasta), joyful tidings cocktail and cannoli with pistachios. All were clearly fresh made and simply delicious. I've been working my way through the Brunswick restaurants since my son started college here last fall, and this was by far the best meal I've had so far. Fresh ingredients and a friendly staff--a perfect combination.

Enoteca Athena is a must-go. This is my favorite date night place to go in Brunswick. If you like mushrooms, try the funghi con panna.

Truly a gem. I cannot wait to drive the 2 hrs to return here. What an amazing experience. We made reservations (highly recommended btw) and were seated at the bar. Cannot say enough about how amazing our service was from Russell. Best bartender ever. His recommendations and pairings were spot on. His help in accommodating my wifes allergies were on another level. Most places you’re lucky if they label. Here, he ensured every part of every couse and cocktail was safe for her. Ordered a special from the valentines menu as well as a few other dishes from the regular menu. Everything was exceptional. Even the individual ingredients and additions. The feta cheese was literally the best Ive ever had. This place is worth a visit from anywhere. And dont be shy to sit at the bar for your meal!!

Went here for Valentine’s Day with my husband. It was the coziest vibe with absolutely amazingly delicious food from start to finish. Service was also spectacular. Highly recommend the pistachio green cake for dessert. (I think it may have been a special?) but they need to make it permanent if that’s the case. Cant wait to go back.

Came here for cocktails & the kitchen was closed but they still had dessert. I really liked the build your own negroni! Get the olive oil/pistachio cake for dessert... it was unbelievably delicious!! Staff is super nice too.

My wife and I went here to celebrate our 45th anniversary. It was our 1st visit and we were delighted with everything--the food was perfect, the service by our waiter Jackson was cheerful, prompt & accurate. We had a nice, quiet table by the window. My wife's salmon was superb as was my fungi con panna. The pistachio cake was out of this world. Prices were fair. We will definitely be back soon. Just don't tell anybody else, okay?

We had a lovely time dining here last night. I was pleasantly surprised to get a same day reservation and we were asked if bar seating was ok. It turns out that was the best seat in the house thanks to Henry. It was fun to watch him create cocktails and he was so friendly. The food was delicious and the Alfredo was one of the best we have ever tried (and my boyfriend tries them all). I just realized that we dove into the Alfredo and I never got a picture). We didn’t have room for dessert but we plan to next time we visit!

Enoteca Athena was superb. The meal was one of the best I've had in years. The service was excellent and every detail of the atmosphere pleased one of the senses. It might seem weird to say, but they did not forget the bathroom. I felt like I was in the home of a welcoming friend with excellent taste and great attention to detail.
