“We stopped for a late lunch on a whim! The food is amazing! Their fresh pasta, I had the shrimp /lobster ravioli in Alfredo sauce was amazing. ( you pick the sauce you want ). The Margarita Pizza was authentic and wonderful! If you want real Italian this is a place to definately try! We will be back!“
“As always, La Grotta remains one of the best Italian restaurants around. The atmosphere is classy, so please dress accordingly, as people go for both the atmosphere as well as the food/vino. The super tuscan vino is great if you are looking for a new wine to try, you can order a glass or the bottle (I recommend bottle if there are 3+ in your party it ends up being cheaper than individual glasses). The sacchetti as well as the pappardelle are both wonderful dishes. The gnocchi is cooked perfectly if you are a gnocchi fan.“
“We have been patronizing BoccaLupo for several years now! The quality of the food, drinks, and atmosphere is truly unmatched. Thank you to the entire team who has maintained such a top notch establishment throughout the years. Highly recommend!!!“
“So consistent, so good—it’s one of the only places in town we always enjoy. The menu changes often and seasonally but they always keep a few staples. Can’t go wrong with anything you try. Service is great, drink selection is great, tiramisu is extra great!“
“Another home run for us regarding our dining experience at a mano! This neighborhood gem is definitely our “Cheers”! We brought more friends who had never been to a mano before. Such a wonderful evening thanks to our server, Matt, who was on top of his game so to speak. However, I understand that Matt is always on top of his game! Thanks again to Sasha, Lucy, and Bethany for making us feel incredibly welcome and valued. Our friends said they would definitely be back!“
“My family has been twice and we love it! We've eaten both the margarita and the salumi pizzas and absolutely love both. The most recent time we also had a Caesar salad and house salad and we were both impressed.Now the service, the waiter we had yesterday was amazing. When the waiter came and asked what we wanted our 2 year old chimed in and said "pineapple pizza" which they obviously don't have. But they happened to have some extra pineapples in the back and made him a very small personal pineapple pizza. They didn't need to do this but they did and made it special for him.We had our mother in law with us for our last visit and she said the pizza was "better than Italy". I honestly love this place and the service is outstanding. Will 100% recommend this place.Plus the airport location is really good as wellParking: Free parking available“
“This was my first time coming in. I came in with a friend and sat at the bar. I was not disappointed at all. Everything was so delicious, I mean the Taglioni was amazing. The cocktails were amazing; thanks to our amazing bartender Dakota!! Will definitely be back.“
“As always and thankfully food was excellent. However service was off... mixed up drink orders, food delivered to wrong guests at table, dirty dishes not removed in timely fashion,poured our own wine and champagne. Never had to do this before and shouldn't in a fine restaurant as this. We've been dining there for years. More training for waiters, servers, bussers needed.“
“I stopped here for a takeout pizza. This is exactly like the pizza I had in Italy. I love NY style pizza, but this is Naples style (Neapolitan). It's delicious and it's done very well here. There are basic items I look for in good Neapolatin pizza. First, the crust should be crispy and airy. Second, the dough bottom should be stretched thin and cooked slightly browned with a thin crisp on the bite. Next, the sauce and cheese should be thin but savory, with a touch of olive oil and full of flavor. All of these things require skill in making and shaping the dough as well as a good oven that crisps the bottom while the cheese bubbles on top. I make pizza from scratch at home, and I've learned how important each of these factors are and the difficulty in perfection them.I personally don't respect a pizza covered with multiple toppings that distract from these primary flavors. I had the Margherita pizza and the fresh basil added a wonderful aroma and flavor that came together perfectly with the other ingredients. I remembered myself enjoying a pizza in Italy with every bite. Novo is the best Neapolatin pizza I've had anywhere in GA.Sorry, there are no photos, but the ROTP (Rule of Takeout Pizza) states you must have a slice before leaving the parking lot. Novo would be best enjoyed on premise. This wasn't an option for me this time, but a future trip will allow for pictures and more exploration!“
“It wasn’t too hard to get a reservation for 5 the day before. Lex our server, gave great recommendations for our food and wine and was there whenever we needed something. I especially loved the calamari ink pasta dish. And save room for the Tiramisu. The fresh pasta, excellent service and onsite parking made the trip to Buckhead worth it! I highly recommend!“
“This place is a must to check out, two thumbs up! The staff was very friendly and spoke, the food was amazing((especially the Brussel sprouts)), the atmosphere is great and the service was exceptional!!!Our waitress was Molly and she was so nice, patient and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks!! Me and my guy will definitely be back soon, great date night!“
“Pricey but Very Good Located on Peachtree near the Fox Theatre, Lyla Lila is an attractive and buzzy restaurant. Our server, Mike, was helpful with the menu and gave very good and honest suggestions. We started with cocktails. The Soul Vaccination was overly sweet, but the Monk’s Repose was excellent. For food, we started with the Artichoke appetizer which was delicious and the very nice bread service. The mains were Roast Chicken and Snapper, both top rate. For dessert we had the Ice Cream Sando, a great finish to the meal. Even though the meal was delicious, I felt that the pricing was about 20% higher than I would expect. Nevertheless, I would recommend Lyla Lila and I hope to return.“
“Had the best experience learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. I would come here every day if I lived closer. I recommend everyone to check out this cool experience by Luigi! I can't wait to go again and learn new dishes!! Grazie mille Luigi!“
“You will not be disappointed…drinks and food fantastic. Place is great for a big party or a romantic evening. I came with friends and my hubby we had veal chop, lobster ravioli, pasta and sausage, popadella and a bunch of appetizers fantastic! I recommend the ceaser salad as well. Everyone loved their food. Had a great time and service was excellent. Thanks for a great evening in Atlanta.“
“Affordable and classic. Simple and delicious. We decided to take our 19 year old to an Atlanta staple, since she is going to college here now. The jerk chicken was fantastic, falling off the bone. The meatloaf was delicious and sweet, The chili was seasoned perfectly and the cornbread was as perfect as classic cornbread can be. Next time you're hungry, try EATS!“
“Come wine down with me at @postinowinecafe They have $6 glasses of wine & $5 pitchers of beer 'til 5PM everyday! Service was excellent! The ambiance and decor was calm and relaxing! GOOD EATS: Bruschetta Board Smoked Salmon & Ricotta Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & MascarponeSweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat CheeseBurrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato Select Two HALF PANINI + SOUP OF THE MOMENT Tuna Melt on Ciabatta w/ a bowl of chicken soup Desserts Hot Donut Dots: housemade donut holes with salted butter chocolate, caramel and vanilla glaze dipping sauces“
“CONSISTENTLY fantastic food every single time we visit. We’ve been here 3 times in the past 3 weeks because we love it so much. The food is divine everytime! We love the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta, meatball, chicken parm and garlic bread. We will be coming here for years to come! Found it on Tik “
“A great Friday evening dining experience for a family of 10. Our server, Ethan, and servers assistant, were phenomenal. The orders were correct. Food was delivered hot and fresh. Ethan was charming and engaging with all ages in the group. The service, the food were all Superior. Which could explain why the locals preferred this location over others closer to their home. Thanks Ethan.“
“Upscale Italian dining without the need of a suit and tie. It's a nice, intimate atmosphere. Perfect for first dates or even 15th dates.Parking: It shares a plaza with a few other popular restaurants, so parking can be a bit scarce at times“
“Tommy at the Morristown, TN location was amazing! I've worked in customer service as a supervisor for many years and it's very rare that someone excels at speaking to and exceeding expectations! Please pass on the "great job" to him. I know it can seem far and few between to hear the good.“
“First time at St. Cecilia and it was a pleasurable experience. The decor was fitting and comforting. The staff were friendly and respectful. Virginia was our server and was superb! Had a Sazerac from the bar, spot on. Then for dinner enjoyed the Agnolotti and Risotto di Aragosta. Both dishes were flavorful and looked great. The Agnolotti was super tender. Would love to try more dishes in the future. Oh and definitely get an order of the Arancini!“
“Ecco Midtown is an upscale restaurant in Midtown, but the prices are a little more reasonable (in terms of serving size to price ratio) than other upscale establishments.Everything I had a chance to sample tasted very good. Also, I like that the servings are not so tiny that they leave you hungry. If you’re a first time visitor, the waitstaff does a great job with food recommendations from the menu. Everything our waitress recommended was on point. Pro-tip: THIS IS A CASHLESS establishment, so bring your credit cards!The ambience is cozy and intimate. The dress code is smart casual. There is valet parking on site, but there are plenty of street parking available on Cypress and surrounding streets (just pay with ParkMobile app).Notable appetizers to try are honey goat cheese and pork belly. The goat cheese and the honey are a great combination. The pork belly is flavored to perfection. I wish it comes in more than 2 small skewers on a small plate. Other notable side dishes are wood roasted shrimp and pan con tomate, both of which are delicious.Notable drinks I’d recommend are the “Long Live the Queen” and “Pink Panther.” Both of which are good.The restaurant ran out of its most popular entree, the papardelle, on the Saturday evening I visited. But nevertheless, the Spaghetti al nero (squid ink noodles in a slightly spicy blue crab sauce) the waitress recommended tasted exquisite. My companions tried the campanelle (white chicken ragu) and loved it, too!Overall, if you’re looking to experience a Midtown restaurant with exquisite tasting foods, great ambience, and friendly service that’s also big bang for your bucks, give Ecco a try.“
“wow! the food was great but i was completely blown away by the service! the servers were attentive and informative, and when my friend saw a drink being delivered to another table that intrigued him, the waitresses Jhada and Mia stopped at nothing to find out what it was. Shortly after my friend ordered and enjoyed the drink, the bartender came out and gave us details about the drink and how to order it. The shrimp scampi was delicious, and my friend enjoyed his chicken parmesan, and the portions were generous. We will definitely be back in a few weeks to try the spring/summer menu. Thank you!“
“First time visitor today from Alabama… Hubs is from Brooklyn… he was in Heaven today… excellent variety of great Italian foods… breads, cheeses, sausages you name it… the staff was ever so helpful, kind and informative. We drove 4 hours to get there and we will be back!!! The sandwiches we had were just wonderful!!!“
“Service was excellent and fast, pizza was phenomenal, all around a good spot. They’ve been open a couple years and I’ve hadn’t been before tonight- I’m glad I finally tried it. Atlanta lacks in pizza, especially at this price point ($15-17 a pie). I’d recommend trying it out, they’ve earned my business - Neapolitan style slices, pizza is on the smaller side but you can taste fresh ingredients and the high quality sauce and cheeses. Coal oven, firm but thicker crust-still airy, balanced out, overall a great ratio and theyve got it down. Summer pie was great 8.6/10, I got the carbonara as well and it was a solid 8.2/10 - very worth it. Try it out! My new favorite pizza spot in Atlanta and I’ll be a regular. Thanks Pizza Bella and I’ll spread the word. Also- Wings looked nice and crispy but I didn’t try them - next time!“
“UPDATE:Went here on a Saturday afternoon and Jordynn made this an absolutely exceptional experience! We sat in a booth in the bar area. As usual the music and ambience were great, Sinatra and dim lighting. Jordynn, our server, went well above and beyond accommodating my dietary needs (no salt) and the executive chef made me a special dish! Salmon with herbs, lemons and olive oil with spaghetti aglio e olio. It was incredible!! My husband's linguine with clams was phenomenal (his favorite of any restaurant and we travel often). She was extremely attentive and overall, an awesome server. After my previous 2 star review, we will now be coming here often to see Jordynn!!------Horrible experience here today (Sunday afternoon). We were not properly greeted by the hostess even after waiting for someone to notice us. She seemed annoyed to have to seat anyone. We asked to sit in the bar area. She replied "um..." then thought about it a long while before saying that there wasn't really a bartender. We then said we'd sit in the dining room. She looked confused and then grabbed a tablet and walked away. Were we supposed to follow her? She didn't say a word and disappeared. We simply left. Not good service or first impression.“
“Extremely delicious pastries! Must try the three mousse chocolate cake and the light and dark pastry! The triple chocolate cake could use some work, but I highly recommend the cakes with at least 4 layers(3 cake layers) which have the perfect balance of cake to cream. A slice of pastry and pot of tea is the perfect night to experience.Vegetarian options: There are vegan options availableDietary restrictions: There are gluten free options available“
“A wonderful experience for our anniversary date night. The cocktails were excellent, the bruschetta was amazing with goat cheese and slightly acidic mushrooms. The polenta was so creamy and Bolognese was very flavorful. I had the short rib on potato mash and it was so tender, delicious and succulent with the pine nuts a lovely addition. This place is a local gem. If you are close by and feel like some incredible Italian food, give it a try.“

“My husband and I have ordered pizza here a handful of times now and the food is always on point. I have dietary restrictions so have to order my pizza pretty modified and there is never any issue. They are very accommodating and even with the modifications the pizza is still scrumdiddlyumptious. Crust has a nice crunch while still being soft. They do not skimp on the toppings and you can tell the ingredients are a cut above your average delivery pizza. I first started ordering from here based on a recommendation of a coworker, and now I pass that nugget of knowledge along to anyone asking about a good slice!“
“My family and I were visiting Atlanta for the first time. We came across Buon Fornello. The food was amazing! The pasta was homemade and delicious, and the chicken picatta has been one of the best I've had. Frank was great! Thank you for providing such great service. Overall, we had a great experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“My fiancé wanted Italian or Steak for his birthday so I landed on a reservation here because it gave him the best of both worlds. Let me say that this place did not disappoint! The check-in process was smooth and felt very attentive. Parking was a bit confusing at first but you can valet your car at the Intercontinental for free. Just make sure you get your ticket validated before you leave the restaurant.We decided to sit outside because it was a nice evening; the traffic on peachtree was nonexistent for a Tuesday; and the view was amazing as well.We ordered drinks, fries, the salmon dish, and the pasta that had wagyu and everything was delicious! My fiancé left no crumbs behind on his pasta dish. My salmon had a pesto sauce with pomegranate seeds and I was amazingly surprised with how well the two paired together. Compliments to the chef because I also left nothing behind lol!Our waiter even added a special touch to our dining experience by bringing both of us a plate of chocolates for our birthday, as mine is the following week.Will definitely come back!“
“The good. After eating the food, I don’t understand how this restaurant has a 4.3 at this time. But eating in the restaurant gives me a bit of understanding. The food is delicious and respectable chef plated food. The octopus was amazing it came with potato salad with raisins ??♂️…. But surprisingly it’s description is just wrong, I would have never ordered it if it was from the description but since it came to our table accidentally, it was Devine. It’s more of a hash with fried potatoes. My wife ordered the the parmesan cheese wheel pasta with truffle. One of the best things I have eaten, creamy and flavorful. I ordered the lamb ragu. The bolognese was really good and definitely didn’t taste like some chef Boyardee flavor. The lamb was tender and the pasta had to be made in house. The whipped ricotta was good too with the flatbread. The artichokes were a bit cold at entry but had flavor but not my favorite. The bad, my reservations were at 8, I arrived 15 minutes early and was not seated until 8:30. My server never introduced herself well and we never got her name. She was very distant from us and service. She was telling us about the menu and we decided what we wanted but she finished speaking and left without trying to get our order. When she finally came back she took our drink order and another hiatus. Finally we were able to order and food began to come out slowly. We got the octopus because she wasn’t listening and gave us whatever because we ordered the artichoke, that was cool because they “comped” the ?. Then we eventually got our food and the waitress was gone again for 20 plus minutes as I watched another party get there Parmesan wheel pasta and complete the food before she returned. They also got the their check first. I don’t think our waitress was knowledgeable even though I could tell she has eaten the food. I ordered an few drinks, my kids were there. Ticket was 239 on a Tuesday. It was also my wife’s birthday with I addressed a few times and just had to tell the waitress hey it’s my wife’s birthday. Food top tier… Service questionable!!“
“I'm a fan of Olive Garden, But Paolino really is the place to go. I can now say I have a new Italian restaurant. Food excellent. Great experienceParking: There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant, but not a lot. There are parking spots on the street in the vicinity.“
“We celebrated my friend's birthday. The service was good, but they don't split checks for large parties which was frustrating. All our food was good the garlic bread and wild mushroom pizza were the standouts. The dessert was disappointing the cow's milk cannoli cream was extremely pasty to the point of being inedible, and the tiramisu was pasty as well but to a lesser extent.“
“This restaurant and the people that work here are so very special. The food is spectacular…thats a given. The atmosphere and the staff are what make it feel like you are with friends and family and you are home. It truly is my happy place. ❤️“
“When I say you can eat anything here and be amazed, you would think I am a lier. Why? Because no one is perfect right? Wrong! Ninos could be the best Italian restaurant in the country. Consistent, traditional and precise to the old country.“
“I recently visited this restaurant and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. However, I did encounter one minor drawback - finding parking was a bit of a challenge. Despite this, I would still highly recommend this restaurant to others, as the positives far outweighed the parking inconvenience. Overall, a great spot for a night out or a special occasion!“
“Lauren was absolutely phenomenal during my visit. Super attentive and personable. Despite a kitchen mix-up, I’d happily go back given the way Lauren handled the situation. If you’re heading to Carrabba’s at Cumberland, ask to be seated with Lauren.“
“We stopped in on Saturday night after spending all day at the convention center for Atlanta Comic Con. Was seated quickly and the pizza was absolutely fantastic! 10/10 will come back next time we’re downtown and have a craving for pizza!“
“Tried it out. The meatballs are amazing! I got the spicy ones "in the hole" (comes in a boule). Nice and spicy, soft. Also got the pizza. While I liked the deep dish flavor and crunch without it being a deep dish, you only get 6 pieces for the price. Seems like there should be more? Also got the donut dessert, yummers! You get 4 of those but they are filling! Overall great experience ordering ahead and picking up (it was ready when I got there). I'll stick to the meatballs and maybe a sandwich.“

“Love the pizza here. This is my second time for me & my husband coming here and the taste + service are really good. The servers are friendly and helpful if you don’t know what to choose. Will recommend this place to friends and family.“
“I feel like family here. They always take care of me. I pick up dinner from from Azios a least once a week and the food is always propared with love!!!! friendly staff, busy but clean and organized. The kitchen team is awesome and the front counter team feels like family.“
“Postino is a gem in Atlanta's dining scene. Kasey and Tim are truly exceptional, making every visit a delight. Their extensive wine selection and delicious lunch offerings make it a must-visit spot. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a cozy lunch spot, Postino won't disappoint.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Maggiano's Little Italy, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.Despite a brief 15-minute wait, our experience was still enjoyable. The host kindly requested my phone number and promptly notified us via text message when our table was ready.Upon being seated, I was promptly attended to by our server, who exuded genuine warmth and professionalism. They took the time to welcome us and provided recommendations from the extensive menu, showcasing a deep knowledge and passion for the cuisine. Their attentive nature ensured that our dining experience was tailored to our preferences, making us feel valued and well-cared for throughout the meal.The ambiance of the restaurant was charming, with cozy seating arrangements and tasteful decor that transported me to the heart of Italy. Soft lighting and soothing music created a relaxed atmosphere perfect for enjoying a leisurely dinner.Now, onto the highlight of the evening: the food. Maggiano's Italian-American cuisine did not disappoint. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, showcasing the rich flavors and comforting aromas that are synonymous with Italian cooking.One standout dish was the Beef Tenderloin Medallions, served alongside creamy mashed potatoes and topped with crispy onions. The tender medallions were cooked to perfection, offering a succulent burst of flavor with each bite. Accompanying it was a classic steak, also served with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, cooked to a perfect well-done. Each element of the Beef Tenderloin Medallions dish was expertly crafted, creating a delectable blend of textures and flavors that left a lasting impression.Throughout the meal, our server remained attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed to fully enjoy our dining experience. Their friendly demeanor and genuine care for our satisfaction added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.In conclusion, my dining experience at Maggiano's Little Italy was nothing short of excellent. From the impeccable service to the delicious food and inviting atmosphere, every aspect exceeded my expectations. I will certainly be returning to indulge in more of their Italian delights, and I highly recommend Maggiano's to anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary experience. Five stars without a doubt. Grazie mille, Maggiano's!“
“We've been neglecting Carbonara Trattoria because yelp had an Italian restaurant around the corner rated higher. For our first visit here, the plan was to walk in, sit at the bar, order a snack and something to go. First off, Trey, the bartender/server was great telling us what was on the menu. We ordered the fried oysters and they were very good. Trey also did a great job wine pairing and let us try a few other things. We decided to stay and order the carbonara salad and the cobia entree. At this point, for us to do an appetizer/salad/entree/desert, we have to split a few things and are quite comfortable sharing a plate, especially sitting next to each other in the bar. So, we said we wanted to split the salad. Much to our surprise, two little salads came out. Then we said we'd split the fish. Again, two small plates came out. This seemed above and beyond to me, but was very nice. We did order the "chocolate temptation" to go and ate it after we got home. The food was great, the ambience was nice, and we will definitely be going back!“
“It takes an elevated experience to get me to write a review. And wow. While I’ve been here before, today was special. Louise, Malachi, and Therecia, went above and beyond.Louise especially. That level of service is hard to come by. Especially when it’s authentic and genuine. I was a little dressed down today but that didn’t change their level of service.There was a small mishap with my food, and before I could even say anything, the bartender was able to notice all the way from the bar and got the attention of the manager. That attention to detail is something else. Thanks guys.“
“Great food! We eat here often and it always reliably outstanding. Plus we have tried most of the wide variety of Italian menu items and have liked all of them. Also, very reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome. What a find!“
“The service is top notch. I wish I had gotten the names of our waiters because they really went above and beyond and were so fun and thoughtful. It was my friend's birthday and I indicated that on the reservation. They asked whose birthday it was upon arrival, had a small bouquet of flowers waiting for her, menu said happy birthday. The space is beautiful, not stuffy, just very pretty. The pasta is perfectly cooked and tasty, the mussels and broth had good flavor though I wished there was more broth. The donut dessert with lemon and lavender and chocolate tart were both delicious. I hope they get more creative with their mocktail flavors as they sound interesting but the Pinocchio which is supposed to have coconut tasted like ginger beer lemon, a usual default mocktail. Indaco fits in nicely among some of the usual Italian spots here in Atlanta but the service and vibes were a step above.“
“There are few NY style hand tossed pizza places that actually taste like the namesake. Of the ones I have tried thus far, none are better than this place ~ it took me back home in Brooklyn, NY when I walked in to experience the familiar pizzeria smells and then further complimented with the tastes. I appreciated being greeted with a smile day one as well as each day I returned, which was often while I was near this Marietta location. I was able to call for a pick up order and, without using my name they knew who I was and which order was mine. There was one day that I walked up as they were opening the restaurant. I asked how long before they would be ready for me to place an order. They took my order at the door and had it ready for me in half an hour. You can't go wrong with any meal here! I am no longer in that area, however, I have and will continue to go back even if just for a slice!“
“This spot was perfect for a casual pizza night with friends catching up! There wasn't a wait even on a Friday evening and we were seated at a clean table. Staff was knowledgeable of the menu, customization options and suggestions. We were so hungry I didn't get pictures of the pizza but the dessert was delicious and didn't disappoint either!“
