Amalfi Cucina & Mercato - Downtown Atlanta

We left a concert early because we did not want to miss out on the opportunity to eat here. The photos of the food were beautiful and I can say the food lived up to the expectations. We made a reservation for 1015pm but we arrived early. We had to wait a while for a host. As soon as our server came to the table he did not welcome us or advise us of anything they were sold out of. We were told hey the kitchen closes soon so we need to order in 15 minutes. This is an hour before the restaurant closes. It was not even our reservation time yet. We ordered an appetizer that they were out of which is understandable but I wish he would have let us know that. After setting we were told that we could not order dessert because it was close to closing time. 30 minutes to be exact. Then we had to wait 15 minutes to get our check. This was supposed to be a special evening for us and it turned out not to be due to the service.

Our experience here was disappointing from the moment we walked in. Two different servers tried to seat us, but neither actually guided us to a table. They just pointed and left us to figure it out. We received our appetizers before our drinks, and our server did not check on us even once during the entire visit. She was seating other guests, and asked, passing by if we were ready to order, after we had already finished appetizers. She took our main order incorrectly, and never apologized for the mistake. Only one pizza was made so half the order was sitting under heat lamps while the other pizza still being made. Even so, both pizzas came out completely raw. We were too hungry to wait any longer, since our server never came back, so we ate what we could. We also saw another table wait so long for their check that they were getting ready to walk out.

Very unimpressed with the food. Had probably the worst pizza I've ever had, small numbers of mussels and poor flavor. Two of the mussels were only shells. The bar tender was genuine, hard working and responsive. The best part of the experience.

The food was decent but the service was unbelievably slow. After we sat down, it took 45 minutes for our server to take our drink order. The bar was so backed up that we waited another 30 minutes for them to come. The restaurant is grossly understaffed.

We arrived on time for a reservation. We budgeted one hour and 45 minutes to eat and planned on going to a show after. It took 25 minutes for the hostess to talk to us. No one was even at the front desk. Then it took another 30 minutes before we got our drinks. They were completely understaffed. Server said she would comp our drinks but didn't. We had to leave a few minutes after our food came. Food was not great. We won't be trying it again.

Parking was very hard and confusing and when trying to call the restaurant, nobody will pick up. When arriving, there is only one host and one bartender and very understaffed. The food was ok, not the best but also not the worst..... not worth the price though. Server forgot to put in our order and nothing was done about it. No manager to be seen and definitely under staffed. Not sure if I would return.

We had a 4:30 reservation before a show and the restaurant was very understaffed and out of several menu items. It took longer than we expected but we booked the early reservation in case this happened. The food was great and we felt the overall value was good for what we got.

The margherita pizza and hibiscus margarita were amazing! Our server Cyrena was great and attentive!

Simply outstanding. The pizza dough was far and beyond our expectations: terrific texture and development made for a great pizza! The lobster ravioli was great but the sauce in which they were served made them magnificent!

It was just an ok experience all around....service, food and ambiance. I noticed they catered more to particular guests than others which was disappointing and bothersome to me. One and done here.

We wanted to find a nice place close to our hotel to have dinner before a concert. Amalfi Cucina + Mercato really fit the bill. The atmosphere was great and the food was wonderful. Our server, Mabel, was very helpful with her recommendations. The manager brought our food and apologized for the wait but we didn't feel the wait was long, at all. The veal Bolognese and Chicken parm were prepared to perfection. The blossom fritti we had as an appetizer was outstanding. We will definitely be back next time we are in downtown Atlanta.

The waiter was great, but the food was very so coming out. The waiter came over and told us it will be just a few more minutes.

Incredibly slow service; took two hours from arriving to eating, drinks arrive after food. Took 25 minutes to seat us.not a good experience

Amalfi Cucina + Mercato was absolutely great. We loved all the plates we ordered: Nonna's Spaghetti & Meatballs, Parmigiano Reggiano Caesar Salad, Margherita Carnivale and Calamari. We shared all 4 plates between a group of 3 and had space for dessert. The space was warm and cozy and the music was a very nice tribute Paul McCartney for his upcoming concert. 10/10

Had to wait a while to be seated. They use paper table clothes and the hostess was cutting them and letting them fall on the ground then she would put them on the tables. The food was just ok and the waiter left empty plates and cups on the table and took his time getting our orders or drinks.
