“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“
“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!!“
“Ordered take out from here last week around lunch time on a weekday. We ordered a NY style pizza with sausage, onions, and pepperoni plus an order of the hot wings. Everything was pretty good, not the best but also still decent. The restaurant was empty when I arrived. My only complaint about the food was that our wings were all drums, I'm a big flats girl so this was disappointing.“
“Ordered delivery several times now (for the past few years now) & everything arrives hot and fresh. When you order individual slices they are HUGE. Two of them is seriously like the size of half a pizza. My family has also ordered pasta from here and it is also good. It wasn't a just an afterthought. The sauce was good and the noodles al dente. It may not be as trendy as Antico but I honestly like it better if not the same. The employees are so nice and I hope that even with all of the "revitalizing" Sandy Springs is doing that they don't run this business out by tearing down the shopping center. This pizzeria has been around FOREVER and it would be a shame to lose it.“
“Jets 8 corner pizza is the cruchiest, meltiest, sauciest, cheeses, crustiest, most delectable dankness this side of the Missisip. You'll keep thinking "That HAD to be the last corner piece!"But you take another look, and BAM! Just like Southwest Atlanta on a Saturday night, every hot piece has a corner.“
“This was our first time at Il Giallo and we truly enjoyed the experience. From the time we got there to the time we left, everyone we encountered could not have been more pleasant. They were also pretty busy. Our server Nicole was engaging and attentive. She shared suggestions and was patient with our questions on the menu. We shared the shrimp appetizer, caprese salad and the chicken parmigiana and everything was delicious. We even stopped by the bar for an after dinner drink and got to meet bartender Sharon who was also very pleasant. It truly was a great experience and we look forward to our next visit!“
“What a special experience! Lisa and I arrived in the mid afternoon on Friday and we're greeted by the very gracious and charming Masoud. He assured us that we could stay as long as we wanted to stay and it was not too late for lunch. The food was amazing and his quick wit was priceless! It was our first time. He opened the location 34 years ago! This place is an institution and historic! The food is amazing! The chicken fettuccine was superb! Lisa's salmon was also exceptional! Thank you for a great dining experience! BTW, he stocks Alex Grappa..... Possibly my favorite. Give it a try!Go for the food and stay for Masoud's great jokes! Thanks!!!“
“Went here to do a roof repair but the food smelled so good I had to eat and I don't care for pizza. The food was awesome and very good portions so I was full and happy. Parking was quick and food was served hot and fresh. My wife loves jonnys. As I said I don't care for pizza but plenty of other items on menu other than pizza. I will continue to eat here.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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!“
“If you haven't had brunch here yet, add OM for a fabulous start to your day! We know their dinners are delicious and brunch is just as outstanding as the evening meals! Delicious food, attentive service and calm atmosphere make this a great place to gather with friends or enjoy a couple's morning out!“
“We had the time here. Our waiter was fantastic with service and personality. He was very accommodating to our needs. The food was phenomenal. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend getting the family style so you can taste different foods. Looking forward to going back.“
“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.“
“Wow. This wasn't just dinner, it was a dining experience. Our server, Virginia, was so knowledgeable about the menu, the wine list...we enjoyed all of her suggestions. The food, wine and her service were all exceptional! Will definitely be back the next time we are in Atlanta!“
“Maggiono’s was the perfect place for our wedding reception. They helped us decorate, setup the menu, and help us with all our request. Our reception went off without a hitch and we could not be happier with the results. Staff and servers were excellent. Maggiono’s was a jackpot for the place to celebrate with our family. Anyone going to Las Vegas needs to visit for their excellent service and wonderful lasagna. Highly recommend to everyone!“
“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!“
“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!“

“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.“
“DiPaolo is a regular for us. They have the best bartender in Atlanta. The Italian food is authentic and they allow half portions which is really great because we're senior citizens we don't really eat that much. The ambience is fabulous and it's always crowded but I say that in a good way lovely place to go and I highly recommend it.“
“Small restraunt away from the bustle of Canton Street. I had the Caciao e Pepe and my partner had the Saporita - authentic and delicious! Server and manager were attentive and kind. Can't wait to go back and try the pizza! Highly recommend this little gem!“
“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.“
“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 haven't been to Smyrna in years, but decided to make this trip. The place was quite small but we still felt comfortable enough. The proximity to other tables actually generated some side conversation, which was nice. The food was really good. Definitely tasted fresh and homemade. They had live music (i.e., an artist singing) the entire night, which was a nice touch. Service could have been better. We had a reservation for 715pm and showed up at 720pm. They said that we missed our reservation for 7pm and didn't respond to their check-in text that was sent at 7pm. Well, I was driving to get there by 715pm....beyond that the server had a bit of an attitude, but got friendlier as we built rapport. Parking situation was okay but most of us parked across the street and on adjacent lots. A bit unnerving at first, but no issues. I'm definitely coming back....“
“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.“
“I went there for a private event. Shrimp, scampi and mushroom ravioli were very tasty. I also enjoyed grilled eggplant. The cheesecake and the chocolate mousse cake were delicious. Keylime pie wasn't bad, but it was a little bit too heavy on the crust. The meatball and risotto ball were decent, but I wasn't particularly a huge fan. Overall I thought a very tasty.“
“Just ate at Mezza Luna for the first time and will definitely be going back! They have a gluten free menu and delicious food! Authentic Italian in Marietta. The owners are from southern Italy. Cocktails were great and the food yummy! Don’t hesitate trying this restaurant!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“10/10 One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a while! All the cooks, servers, and mangers we encountered were outstanding!! Our server GEORGE was top tier in every aspect of our visit while dinning in! Satisfied is an understatement!! Highly recommended trying this restaurant out!“
“This restaurant is located at Colony Square, Atlanta. The food and service were great. Lunch and brunch menus were available. Had an early lunch, and a reservation wasn't needed on the day we visited; however, at peak hours, a reservation is highly recommended. For the decor and atmosphere are definitely a must try for a date brunch/lunch/night, if you like Italian food. Price points are $$.Parking: During peak hours, it may be difficult to find free street parking.“
“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!“
“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 place was amazing. I have lived in the area for o er 10 years and this is our first visit. Our server Taylor was fantastic. Service was impeccable. Her recommendation of the scallop appetizer was the best tasting scallops we've ever had. My husband had the chicken special and it was delicious. I had the standard spaghetti and meatballs and it was yummy. The portion was too large for us so we took the rest home. We also opted for dessert and it was also excellent. I'm sorry we didn't visit sooner. This is definitely going to be one of our favorites.“
“It was our first time dinning here. We were very excited because we loved Italian food but also we all worked in the industry so we had high expectations. Everything was amazing our server Carlos had high energy and was very informing. He recommended most of our drinks and food. Love the ambiance. Place is beautiful.“
“I would like to highlight two employees of this establishment I frequent so often - Lucy and Abby. Both integral parts of my positive experience at Bar Ti Amo. Lucy, with her infectious personality, attentive nature, and professionalism, her impact on my dining experience is invaluable to say the least. She makes me feel apart of the Bar Ti Amo family and is one of the staff members that keep me coming back on a regular basis. Without her, the dining experience would be significantly crippled.Abby, meeting her more recently, is a personable, warm, and entertaining bartender. Her easy-going approach to conversation left a memorable mark on my experience at Bar Ti Amo. Attentive, caring, and approachable, is what keeps I and others sitting at the bar with Abby.Confidently, I can say without these two individuals here, my experience at Bar Ti Amo would not be as unique and cherished as it is.“
“The service was great. The food was good. I check the bill and a scoop of the ice cream was charged at $12.00 per scoop. When I questioned it they quickly walked it back and charged me $4.00 per scoop. I don't like it when the bill is charged and they bring it over with 25% gratuity highlighted automatically. I'm okay to leave 25% but I would it to be my choice and not the server's.“

“When I tell you Atlanta Turkey Legs is gonna hit everytime and I mean EVERYTIME! I first got to try them last year at Jump-off Juneteenth event, anytime I see them at any event they are my go to food choice. Their turkey legs are always flavorful and juice, Mac & cheese is delicious with collard greens that have a kick to it! If you want the best of their menu please try their big back bowl ( turkey,greens,Mac & cheese,Kandi yams with cornbread) chefs kiss. The staff is always friendly no matter have busy they are at an event or even at their takeout location I. Which they finally moved in the city right in midtown Their takeout location can get really busy as it's a share kitchen space but it's clean and quick once your order is ready.“
“From many choices of Pizza and a variety of toppings to a wide selection of home style " Grandma's Sunday Dinner " of pasta,fish and steak, it is all there at Crispina's. Top notch neighborhood restaurant never disappoints. Reservations a must and a party room is available . Enjoy Sunday dinner every night of the week.“
“We ordered the meat pizza and a side of mashed potatoes for our kids.The pizza was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, my husband agrees too! It was perfectly seasoned and just right thickness of crust. The mashed potatoes did not disappoint and were perfectly cooked and creamy.The place is very clean, work staff is friendly. We will definitely return.“
“I went here with a friend after viewing the Stevie Wonder exhibit and I believe they were short on staff this evening. We didn't take it personally and because we patiently waited our server was so sweet she didn't charge us for drinks and gifted us tiramisu for dessert. That tiramisu was so good I forgot to take a pic! Lamb Shank is a huge serving! The sauce that came with it was a bit salty, other than that I enjoyed my meal and the ambiance of the restaurant. The tiny cocktail in my picture was a Pomegranate Martini and it was pure liquor! If you like your drinks strong then you'll love it!“
“The pasta and pizza here was just wonderful. I only ordered delivery, but it was still excellent, and I will definitely be eating in person soon. I got a huge portion of spaghetti carbonara, and it was amazing. The sauce was so rich and creamy, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the bacon bits added a meaty depth of flavor. It was also served with a piece of crispy bread. I also ordered a personal Margherita pizza, and it was delicious. The crust was crispy, the sauce was tangy and vibrant, and the cheese was warm and fresh. I absolutely recommend coming here for the immense variety of pasta and pizza“
“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.“
