50 Best Italian Restaurants in Atlanta

“So many great options. I like sandwiches and order Meatball Parm, White Stripes or Muffalleta often. Fig salad and eggplant parm are special treats. Snickerdoodles can solve world problems.“

“I would highly recommend BoccaLupo. We thoroughly enjoyed everything from the drinks, appetizers, entrees, veggies, and desserts. Very different drink and food menu adds to this top notch restaurant. All servers are very knowledgeable in the menu and daily taste specials. Also, they make excellent recommendations if u ask. I was impressed when they changed silverware after each course. Classy! Top it off with homemade pasta and your tastebuds will thank you. We will be back!!!“

“The sachetti (little purses) are to die for. The Marsala crème sauce is delicious“

“Incredible food. Fantastic service. Enough said.“

“From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. Although we were early, the hostess graciously seated us at the bar, where Lucas crafted truly magical cocktails that set the tone for the evening. Once at our table, Dakota seamlessly took over, demonstrating an impressive command of the menu and guiding us with confidence. What stood out immediately was the pace. We were never rushed, a rarity in today’s dining scene, and were able to fully enjoy each course as it arrived. The homemade bread was the perfect introduction, followed by appetizers that were nothing short of extraordinary. After a relaxed pause, our entrées were served, perfectly prepared and generously portioned. Just when we thought the evening couldn’t improve, the tiramisu arrived. It was easily the most melt-in-your-mouth version imaginable and the ideal ending to an already remarkable meal. Overall, it was a cozy, refined, and thoroughly relaxing dining experience featuring some of the finest Italian cuisine available. What the team didn’t know is that I grew up in a family that owned two Italian restaurants. Compliments from me are earned, not given lightly, and this establishment has unquestionably earned them.“

“What an amazing place! John T Edge put me on this place and it’s absolutely incredible. The place is smaller so make a reservation. From the minute you walk in, you can tell this place is special. They have some outdoor seating that resembles a European cafe but the best place to me is in the room with the kitchen. The smells, the ambiance, the decor all make for a wonderful vibe.

Their menu is small but boy does it pack a punch! I got the spicy vodka pasta and my wife got the one with spinach and mushrooms and I honestly don’t know which was better. They were both perfect! Then we all split a tiramisu and outside of Italy, it was one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a great neighborhood spot!“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“INCREDIBLE. Romantic lighting! Staff that can banter as well as they can recommend! Daniel - tattoos, longer hair, attentive demeanor - gave some amazing insights into what would blow our minds.

Seriously. Try the basil Gelato and the strawberry in balsamic sauce. You can't imagine how well it all just goes together, not unless you try it yourself. Please do!! Surprise someone with it! Trust me.“

“My husband and I had the privilege of dining at Capolinea for the first time this Valentine’s Day, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The service was incredible, and the food was absolutely exceptional. We especially enjoyed the Maltagliati con tartufo. The noodles were clearly homemade and perfectly cooked al dente. The sauce was beautifully creamy with just the right amount of truffle. We both agreed it was the most authentic pasta we’ve had in the United States, and it truly reminded us of Italy. The Tricolore salad was another favorite, and we greatly enjoyed the filetto wagyu as well. The desserts were equally impressive and perfectly complemented the courses before them. Capolinea also offers an extensive wine list and a thoughtful selection of spirits, which their talented bartender crafted into beautiful cocktails. Beyond the outstanding food, the service was impeccable. We had the pleasure of being served by Dominique, who was professional, personable, and attentive throughout the evening. Our glasses were never close to empty, and he provided excellent recommendations while answering all of our questions with care. We cannot wait to return. The only regret you’ll leave with is not being able to try more of the incredible dishes in one sitting.“

“The entire experience was amazing. The food is so delicious that it will make you dance in your seat with joy. Coming from out of state, valet parking was much appreciated. Our waiter Tyler was so helpful and fun. A perfect date day trip and meal. ❣️“

“There was an article in The Atlantic a few months ago about the best free bread at a restaurant in America. I don't remember the winner, but it should've been the fluffily delicious, olive oily, round of focaccia served with a smear of fresh butter and various salts from Saint Cecilia's. The peach salad was a winner too.“

“This is amazing!! Would definitely recommend 10 out of 10“

“Highly recommend. Great food, great wine, great service.“

“We stopped in very early on the way home, around 3:30 pm. The hostess was very kind to the only server working at that time & asked us to wait for 10-15 minutes, to allow her to catch up and supper staff to arrive. After a short wait that was no issue at all, our server, Daijah came to the table & proceeded to give amazing attention to my wife & I for the next hour. She offered excellent food suggestions which we partially used. My wife's lobster spaghetti and my choice of dessert, their butter cake. We began with the tomato bruschetta & it was perfect. My wife ordered a bottle of wine with the meal, handled perfectly by Daijah. Angelo came by & checked on the meal and service during the entrees. All of which were incredible. I had the wagyu stuffed shells, in spicy red sauce, which was phenomenal! Our desserts of butter cake & creme brulee, were also superb. Kris came by at the end & we were happy to congratulate him on a perfect meal & experience. We will definitely be back soon!!!!“

“This place was great! After an experience next door we crashed here and was NOT disappointed. We were greeted and reviewed the menu. Ordered the eggplant parmesan, meatballs, pizza and wine. We sat at the bar in front of the wood fire ovens. Got to watch our meals being prepared and had the most pleasant conversation with the pizza makers. The meatballs were FIRE! They were amazing, wonderful combo of meats and hand made…AMAZING. The pizza was also just the best pizza I have had in a long time. They finish with actual Italian olive oil which took the experience to another level. Then oh whoa almost forgot about their dessert. We ordered the pistachio cake and tiramisu. WOW, the dessert was simply beautiful and perfect amount of sweetness. Everything was fresh and amazing. All the employees there were wonderful welcoming and kind. Such a great place! Will be back for sure!!“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“Great food, delicious drinks, good vibes. My wife hosted my birthday dinner. Food was delicious, we alloved the pizzzettes and entrees! Kevin was awesome to work with and he made planning the dinner very easy. Rashad waited on our group and he will forever be my waiter at this establishment. Also, shoutout to Will at the bar.“

“I’ve gone in the last decade or so, I’ve tried a different cake/cheesecake slice. And every single time, I’m left feeling perfectly satisfied. The ambiance exudes “European decadence”, from the intricate bathroom detailing to the delicate cursive script written inside the coffee cups. Moreover, I always love how many people are also here near midnight with a slice and coffee in-hand, especially on those random weeknights. Absolutely one of my favorite spots in the city, and it checks all the boxes to be considered a must-visit spot for anyone.“

“My Thursday night joint, everything I’ve had has been exceptional. I’m eating my way through the menu and I’m amazed how delicious it is. One of the best food experiences you’ll have in Atlanta.“

“As a Amex Platinum Member I love the atmosphere food & service Shane was my server he did a great job with menu I got the Filet Mignon with truffle butter & truffle Campanella it was Best Filet Mignon I ever had it was so tender and good it’s definitely worth the money I love their lounge with bar very easy to park also across the street or valet definitely worth another visit.“

“I’ve been to Yeppa & Co. a number of times and service is always good, but this time with Erini has been different. Her attention to detail and overall joyful attitude made my experience that much better than my normal visits— I’ll be back!“

“I fell in love with this place over the weekend and now I cannot wait to return. It reminds me of some of my favorite NYC spots, with the beautiful front bar area and piano, delicious food, cozy design, and a lovely crowd The Saturday night sing-alongs by the piano were the perfect way to end my weekend. I had the lasagna ---YUMMY Calamari - SO good, not overly breaded, fresh tasting, and the right amount. Look forward to my next time and plan on bringing some friends!“

“Absolutely zero options to remove any topping. Doesn't matter if you can't tolerate cheeses. Take it or leave it says the parrot at the order counter.“

“This place was magnifique. It was my birthday and their distinguished service was above and beyond anything I expected The food was sensational and absolute perfection. I highly recommend them it was my first attendance, but will not be my last.“

“Always a wonderful experience!“

“This is our go-to brunch spot for Virginia Highlands. Love love love the veggie benedict, french toast and bottomless mimosas! Osteria is a neighborhood establishment and we've been going here for over 20 years. Our kids were raised going to weekly dinner here and still obsess over the kids mac and cheese even though they're grown. The brunch is a great addition. The owner does a lot for the neighborhood.“

“Crispina Ristorante & Pizzeria is a must try restaurant in Cumberland Atlanta. We ordered fettuccini Alfredo and Primavera pasta. Pepperoni & Home run pizza and the Calamari. Everything was spot on. Our server is Forest. Thank you so much for the fast and great service. Anyone craving for Italian Cuisine. We highly recommend this place. You guys deserves a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating..“
