ABOUT

an athenian stalwart. open for almost a century and beloved still today. nestled in the basement of a decrepit building, ‘diporto’ means two doors, and to reach this hidden gem requires entering through one of them and navigating steep stone steps into a simple kitchen-come-dining room. local word is that it is closing: the building lease is up and diporto will go with it. a loss to the culinary heritage of the city, if this turns out to be true. simple dishes, an unchanging menu. red or white wine served by the carafe. no menu, no music, just simple, hearty cooking + hospitality that is hard to forget. visit while you can.
