Just five minutes from downtown Athens lies one of the Classic City’s newest restaurants: Osteria Olio, which opened its doors on June 7, 2024. Osteria Olio resides within Rivet House, a hotel on the historic northside of Athens.

Both businesses are owned by James and Jessica Whitley, a local Athens couple. Rivet House and Osteria Olio are managed by the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, which operates, owns and manages restaurants and hotels across the Southeast. Osteria Olio serves modern Italian cuisine, focusing on regional and local ingredients paired with fine wines and cocktails.
