Luma — Restaurant in Athens

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, but within just a few minutes, the warm and friendly atmosphere created by Victor and his team made us feel as if we had returned to a familiar, warm, and friendly place. From the start, we were impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the staff, making us feel right at home.

The dishes were extraordinary from the first to the last course. The antipasti were delicious and carefully prepared, and the main courses surprised us with intense flavors and refined presentations. The dessert, happily enjoyed by the children and us alike, was a delight for the taste buds, showcasing the chefs' mastery once again.

The rooftop view is truly spectacular, offering an unforgettable panorama of the city. The restaurant can be considered a model of good taste, not only through its dishes but also through its elegant and welcoming design and ambiance.

We will definitely return the next time we are in Athens. This restaurant has already become a reference point for us, where we know we will always find excellent food, a special atmosphere, and wonderful people. We warmly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience!

Chapeau...

Honestly, this restaurant is all hype, no substance. And way, waaayyy too expensive for what you get. I mean you're basically paying for the atmosphere (seemed like a hot spot for dates) and that's it.

I got a salad, a basic pomodoro rigatone and a glass of wine (8eur) and ended up paying 38EUR. Where do you think we are? L.A?

Anyways, the price is not even the issue: it's just that the food is really nothing special: the salad tasted like it was made with the cherry tomatoes from the OK market around the corner with industrial mini mozzarella balls from the dairy section. The pasta was the smallest rigatoni I've ever seen. The wine was good but 8 euros for a glass? It's a great restaurant for taking pictures and posting on Instagram: everything looks good on camera but the taste is simply not there. I guess they spent all their money on the interior designer but had none left for the chef and the ingredients...

To begin, service was EXCELLENT on both days that we ate there. Server, bus persons, bar person were all absolutely wonderful. They were attentive without being overbearing. They checked on us at the appropriate intervals. We had the prosciutto pizza, the chicken/mushroom/sun-dried tomato casarecce. They make their own dough and their own pasta. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The pizzas are Neapolitan style with considerable flop with extraordinary dough. Thesecond visit, we had the arancini which had the flavors of greek stuffed tomatoes and served with greek yogurt and mint. On the second visit we couldn't help ourselves and we all had the casarecce!!! Extraordinary all the way around. Make a reservation and get seating in a garden setting on the upper floor. Two of the best prepared meals and...
