50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brookhaven

“es un lugar muy bonito y callado“

“What can I say other than it’s amazing 🤩! The food is delicious and fresh always hot and done to perfection. Love the four cheese ravioli with the San Remo sauce or highly recommend the Salmon or Grouper.. the potatoes melt in your mouth and the Grouper… Oh don’t leave without dessert 🍮 Cheesecake or the absolute hands down best tiramisu on the planet!!“

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

“We had an incredible anniversary dinner this past weekend. The wagyu truffle ravioli is to die for! The service was fantastic.“

“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!!!“

“Tiramisu is worth the hype. Steak was cooked really well although they didn't ask for preference. Not a full bar so limited drinks for cocktails. The polenta cakes were fine, crispy potatoes were surprisingly good. Biggest complaint is service - just didn't feel very attentive in general. You would expect better service with the vibe being intimate and cozy.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“I visited Baraonda last night and was completely swept away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance felt like a warm embrace, elegant yet inviting, with just the right touch of Italian charm. 🍸 Cocktail highlight: I started with the Orange Blossom Martini, and wow, what a revelation. It was floral, citrusy, and perfectly balanced, like sipping sunshine in a glass. 🍝 Main course: The ravioli was divine. Pillowy pasta filled with rich, velvety goodness, swimming in a sauce that tasted like it had been simmered with love and tradition. Every bite was a little celebration.“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“We had a fantastic dinner at KR Steakbar that blended creative cocktails with beautifully prepared dishes. We started with the Apollonia Cocktail, a mix of vodka, pineapple amaro, lemon, and apple-infused black tea liquor. Light, fragrant, and perfectly balanced, it set the tone for the evening. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese, and it was outstanding. The pasta was fresh and tender, the sauce rich and layered, with just the right depth of flavor. My partner went with the steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned with just the right balance to let the natural flavor shine. The presentation elevated the dish without being overly fussy, and it paired wonderfully with the sides. This place delivered on every front: atmosphere, service, and food. The cocktails were inventive, the dishes masterfully prepared, and the evening felt special without being pretentious. It’s a spot that knows how to balance creativity with comfort. We will be back often.“

“Very nice staff & great food!“

“Ex New Yorker here. By far the best Italian food I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere, too. I can't wait to go back. DELICIOUS!!!“

“Fantastic! A different Italian experience!“

“This restaurant has been delicious and I love it because it’s having a great taste and I love the restaurant because it has 2 floors and has a staircase and an elevator so that I can sit down on the table and eat.“

“Awesome Food we wanted Pizza and they were Perfect 👍we will definitely go back! Service was great too!!!“

“The service was awesome. Pierre was very engaging. It's better to buy a bottle of 🍷. You get more for the cost. My meal was very good. I loved the bread.“

“Our waiter was fabulous! Sadly, we did not get his name but we absolutely loved him. Friendly, happy and got our orders correct! The food was delicious. If we come back up here again, we'll most definitely make it a point to stop in for a meal.“

“I ordered the Mista salad. It was very good but swimming in dressing. Ask for dressing on the side. We went on a Sunday night and the noise level was extremely high. We have been going to DiPaolo for many years and the food is just not as good as it used to be. It is still good, not excellent.“

“Food and service was very good!!!“

“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. ❣️“

“We tried this a couple of weeks ago. We came early and got lucky to get a table because after us there was always a wait. Friendly service and the food a solid 10. We had the Cesar and Arugula salads. Both phenomenal. Then lemon pepper wing’s. Very moist and delicious. Then he had their version of a meat lover and I had black olives with sausage. It was a Wed and they have half off the wine by glass or bottle. We can’t wait to go back!“

“The service and attention to detail are exceptional. The food was amazing, in particular, the seafood roast was a generous and varied portion of shellfish. Everything was served at just cooked temperature, which does not always happen in other restaurants. The lemon cello sorbet was delightful after a well seasoned meal.“

“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!!“

“We recently moved to the area and decided to give this place a try because it was pretty close to our house. The food was delicious and I was shocked at how incredible the service was. It was so good that I learned how to write a Google review just to leave this review.“

“My husband and I had an amazing experience- Lisa Marie the manager took the time to visit us twice to talk! Jenny was our server and was attentive, kind and on top of everything! Special thanks also to Armani who flourished the Martini Cart at our table and to Emmanuel the Sommelier who chose the perfect dessert wine - if we had more time in Atlanta we would have come back for a second night! Five Star service with excellent, savory beautifully prepared food!“

“My family has been going here for decades! The whole staff treats you like family. If you go in, prepare to fill your car with food, cheeses, breads and treats! Quality food, A+ Service, and will always come back for more!“

“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!!!!“

“Food was great and the staff very attentive!“

“EVERYTHING WAS NICE FROM EMPLOYEES TO FOOD! My new favorite place!“

“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.“

“Always a wonderful experience!“

“We had lunch here today and highly recommend! Great cocktails and atmosphere. The food was delicious and fresh! Definitely will be back!“

“Delicious Italian cuisine. Great atmosphere and the service was perfect.“

“This is located in a ghost kitchen along with multiple other ghost kitchens. There is a sign posted that tells you how to order, you don't use the kiosk. Your food is then bought out to you. Ordered BBQ turkey leg, greens and yams but, instead of yams received Mac n cheese which was actually delicious so it was a nice mistake.😋 I would say they should not put hot peppers in the greens as they were so hot I couldn't even eat them but, they were good.“

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

“I think they changed chiefs, food isn't as good this time around. Also told us they ran out of bread, which was very strange to me. The restaurant on a weekend was dead. My drink also was not the best. Bar is beautiful though, lots of space for bigger parties.“

“Love all the Storico restaurants...food and service is great... great vibe at Forza!“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“Real authentic NY Pizza, Best in Atlanta and I'm from NYC and a pizza Snob. Everyone who works there is very friendly and Manger so accommodating.. Love their pizza and crunchy crust“

“Excellent! Arrived 10 minutes early, had 2 tables for 6 because then couldn't accommodate 12 however they did. Ended up with 1 group table. I will say staff onsite much more accommodating than email responses. Server was excellent! Food and beverages, outstanding! I'll bring groups here monthly. Allan K.“

“We were here on our way to North Carolina. Definitely worth the stop!“

“Just had the most delicious sausage and banana pepper pizza (got it to go and added our own calabrian peppers and fresh basil) ! The dough and crust were just right. The manager works his butt off to make sure that the customers are happy.“

“The experience here was excellent, deserving a perfect 10 out of 10. The vibe is exceptional, but this spot isn’t suited for large portions. Instead, it’s ideal for a 3- to 5-course meal, savoring each dish. The staff is very friendly, and everything we tried was fantastic. From the beef tartare and oysters to the pasta and vegetables, every bite was delightful. I can’t comment much on their drinks since I only had Grand Marnier neat, and that's hard to screw up!“

“Everything about our experience at Indaco last night was spectacular! From start to finish, the service and food exceeded every expectation. The drink, food, and dessert recommendations were spot on — each course better than the last. A huge shoutout to Angel, who was absolutely stellar and made the entire evening memorable. Their attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm elevated the whole experience. If you're visiting, I highly recommend trying the chef's curated dinner — it's the best way to experience Indaco's creativity and passion. Every dish truly wowed us. We'll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful 1st time dining here. Bartender was amazing and food excellent .“

“Great tasting food! Great casual dining 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.“

“Me and my boyfriend came here for the first time last night and oh my goodness it was so good!!! For appetizers, we got meatballs, and the cheezy bread. Meatballs were the best meatballs I've ever had in my life, and the cheezy bread was like a mini pizza! Just without the sauce obviously. For entrées, he got the chicken parm with the noodles on the side, and I had asked for shrimp scampi. Our server said It was no longer on the menu, (I saw it in a video and was hoping to get some) but she was SO amazing and was able to get it made for me!!! I wish so much that I got her name because she was absolutely stunning as a human and as a server. They eneded up running out of their vanilla Gelato, so we didn't get desert but the experience was absolutely wonderfully. The manager also came by to say hello and was absolutely charming as well. We loved the service and food so much we ended up getting a whole nother entre to go. If I could give 10 stars I would. ❤️❤️“
