Amalfi Cucina & Mercato - Downtown Atlanta

You know it's going to be middle of the road when it is literally the only Italian restaurant I've ever been to where they don't serve bread. Waitress was very nice. Food was not bad - mediocre probably best sums it up.

This place was wonderful for my girlfriend and I!The food was great, the service was speedy, and the prices for such tasty foods were incredible! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return again!

I took my business clients there this evening and they had a wonderful time. One had the veal Bolognese and said it was fantastic as another had a margherita pizza with spicy sausage added on it. We did have to move to help accommodate a bigger group but the manager was lovely and took care of us for having to move which she did not even have to do but it was nice of her to do so. The coconut cheesecake was AMAZING, along with the chocolate brownie cheesecake.

love the staff and ricky was amazing! he is always fun to chat with and he is great at his job! food came out in timely manner and the calamari was perfect. best i have ever had. the quattro formaggio is my go to and always is devine. each drink ricky made was amazing, the amalfi frose and hibiscus fiore are my favorites that i rotate on getting. this place is a must! been going here since they opened! great place to celebrate occasions, especially birthdays

Had a reservation for 7:15, wasn't sat until close to 8. Granted, there was a prom party there, and the quality of the food made for an overall good experience. 

Our server spoke to us twice and ignored us so much we finally had to wave down another employee to get the bill.

The food is not that great, service was kind. Chicken was drenched in cream sauce and pasta overcooked. Brocollini was seasoned and steamed perfectly through. Meatballs were good. Wine list was mass.produced and not that great. This place is a skip.

This place is FANTASTIC for its location, aesthetics, and mood due to the music. Unfortunately expect the lowest standard of Italian food besides the olive garden. The customer service is also great.

They also do not pay for the parking next to it and no valet parking

We came to this restaurant as a a large group. From the time we sat to the time we left it was horrible. Our waitress was respectful but only because she had to be. She gave blunt yes or no answers and seemed annoyed with every question. She filled up our pop drinks with a plastic take out container that she kept on a shelf. The food was mediocre. And the pizza had a weird taste, not just one guest but all of us agreed there was something sour about it. The pasta looked like something out of a can. 2 of our guests are gluten free and ordered pasta Alfredo and it came as a tomato soup in a cream sauce which was clearly not Alfredo. When it came time to the bill we asked for it separate by families/couples. She went to ask 2 groups what they ordered and they paid and left and gave us the remaining. We looked at the bill and noticed a bunch of things that weren’t ours and she said she went by what other people had told her. She should have known who had what. We waited to talk to ber, but she never came back for us and to go over the bill and pay. We waited and waited and finally asked for the manager. He was defensive when we told him our experience. He ran outside after the other guests and embarrassed them when it wasn’t their fault. The other guests came back in and the manager proceeded to talk rudely and “challenge them” almost like he was going to fight. The kids present we stunned and scared. We told him as a manager this was out of line an disrespectful and he said he would run his restaurant the way he wanted. He continued to raise his voice making a scene in the restaurant. We paid and left completely shocked and our night was just ruined. We were there for the Falcons game from out of town and this was beyond the worst experience we had in Atlanta! As we were leaving he tried to apologize but we weren’t having it at this point. Highly recommend going somewhere else or having a change in staff as this place will definitely go down. Good luck running it your way.

Food was great, vibe is great for 1 on 1 dates. It's not a complaint, but the TV's playing sports throw the upscale vibe off (seriously not a complaint I wanted to watch the game) but if you are looking for that complete date night immersion, it could throw it off. I still Loved the experience. Can't remember the servers name but my guy was like 6'5 and brown(almafi pay that man if mentions help) and an absolute gentleman. I been to the coast and he treated me just like the old Italian dudes (not bad, authentic) overall enjoyable.

Sorry but the Italian music does not cover the unreal Italian food ! Salty calamari’s, salty pasta, too much breading in the meat balls . Prices are over price I guess for the location? , not sure because the food is not all that great! I wish you good luck to you if you decide to go!

Our server, Ricky was amazing! I hope you have the good fortune to have him as your waiter. Very cute entrance with a mural of the amalfi coast on the wall next to the stair case. Very rustic interior with lots of seating for big groups and small groups.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted the beef/veal bolognese, I’m not a huge fan of veal. And Ricky brought over some for me to try. The tomato cream sauce was amazing but I’m not a huge fan of veal, so I went with the gamberini. And omg. The white wine sauce with the capers, shrimp, spinach and cherry tomatoes…AND the home made linguine. Absolutely divine. The capers was amazing with a thick glaze balsamic vinegar sauce, fresh basil, tomato and mozzarella. Bf had the four cheese pizza, it usually comes with a white sauce but Ricky told us about it in advance so we opted for the tomato sauce and it was perfect. Not too rich given the four kinds of cheese. I stole a slice and it was heaven.

Excellent selection of alcohol - particularly the Prosecco and the ruby port!

The tiramisu tasted like the ones from the amalfi coast. ?

The chefs are so cute and so good at their craft. Highly recommend for your next date night or big pow wow with all of the friends.
