Though many of the dish names on the menu at the new Athos Restaurant in Guilderland were unfamilar
to me (I’ll spare you the obvious pun), this proved a reason for excitement, not trepidation, during Thursday night’s dinner.
We have a bit of the Aegean right here in the Capital District at Athos Restaurant. Authentic Greek cuisine served in a lovely atmosphere, with all the warmth and hospitality of the Greek culture.
Athos has an attractive ambiance that typifies classical Greece. Clean lines and subdued colors are the backdrop for the furnishings, lighting, and artwork. From the bar area to the dining room everything is done in exemplary taste, and is conducive to a relaxing dining experience.

You’re thinking spanakopita, souvlaki, moussaka. You’ll find it here, but you’ll also find saganaki, lamb youvetsi and a wonderful array of dips, not to mention homemade Greek desserts, all courtesy chef Harry Hatziparaskevas, a transplant from Manhattan’s acclaimed Ithaka restaurant. It’s upscale dining with casual pricing and ambiance.

Athos
By B.A. Nilsson Vol. 32 ~ No, 12
My introduction to Greek cuisine took place in Boston many years ago when some college-aged friends and
I made a springtime visit to a buddy at Boston College. Being a pack of eager males, the hi-how-ya-doin’ portion of the visit finished quickly and we went, ineptly, in search of women. There is no reason other than our own patheticness that we failed.

Athos highlights Greek cuisine, culture
(Albany County, Guilderland, Altamont)
By Dan Sabbatino on Aug 19, 2008
An authentic Greek dining and cultural experience has come to 1814 Western Avenue in the form of Athos, a new restaurant that opened Friday, Aug. 1.
Guilderland – Athos, the Greek restaurant located where the Cabernet Cafe once was, is a good place to while away a couple of hours sampling authentic Greek food – so good, in fact, you'll want to shout "opah!"
