“es un lugar muy bonito y callado“

“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.“

“One of our very favorite Italian restaurants - they always have the most interesting takes on different dishes. What's better, the menu is constantly changing, so there is always something new to try. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the inside has a very cozy, intimate feel. Extremely cozy - the seating is incredibly limited, so we would definitely recommend having a reservation. We can't wait to return again!“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“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.“

“Great experience. The food was awesome. We tried the eggplant balls, carpaccio, pasta carbonara and pizza diavolo. Everything was so authentic, not greasy, perfect size. We didn't get to the desserts because we were already so full by eating all of the above. We enjoyed this place like we haven't had in a while eating Italian food. The owner is so nice and welcoming, so is the staff. I asked if they could lower the music and they had no problem with that.“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“My wife and I went here for our Valentine’s date night and honestly didn’t have the highest expectations, but we left truly impressed. Our server was top notch and incredibly friendly, and the food recommendations were spot on.

We enjoyed a full course starting with the pork belly appetizer, followed by the Garganelli pasta and a classic ribeye steak, and wrapped it all up with chocolate cheesecake. What an amazing night.

—Food portions were perfect for two.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic! A different Italian experience!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Kelly, our server, and others helped create a warm and enjoyable evening. Kelly also shared with us that the owners had asked a team in Italy to create and bottle 3 different wines for their 30 year anniversary. That was great to hear. Kelly was very attentive and even went the extra mile with ensuring my leftovers were boxed such that the juices did not drown the dish or spill out during transport. That was a special touch. Always a pleasure to dine in a place that cares about their customers.“

“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!“

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

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

“Food and service was very good!!!“

“This is our go-to for salad and pizza for work lunches. Slices are very large, prices are reasonable, pizza is impressive quality even for people out of town, and vegetarian options are top knotch. When we say we have limited time, they can get us in and out of there in 30 to 40 minutes.“

“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. ❣️“

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

“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.“

“Went with my friends to celebrate our friend’s birthday. On the table was a birthday card that was signed from the staff which was so sweet! The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was also great! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Will definitely be returning“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“Food was great and the staff very attentive!“

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

“We have been looking for a great Italian restaurant in Atlanta. We finally found it. Everything was good from soup to nuts. Five stars! ⭐️“

“Such an amazing place. Here for business and found this location. Amazing food!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Always a wonderful experience!“

“I had the blackened salmon with shrimp and it was delicious. I never had blackened salmon before and this is my first time and it definitely won’t be my last time. Thanks to Atlanta turkey legs. Just mmmmm. This has to be one of the best pasta dishes I have tried and usually I don’t eat pasta outside at home because I’m scared of it and this time let me tell you I was definitely not scared. This was a five out of five experience for me and I’m definitely going back to try more because Nile hooked me up with that delicious Freaky Fettuccine.“

“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!“

“A truly succulent culinary experience. Among the best Michelin star restaurants I've been to and truly deserving of the designation. And to top it off, our waiter was a treat and a wonderfully pleasant person who curated everything flawlessly.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and everything was presented with great attention to detail.
Our server, Donald, provided exceptional service from start to finish. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. He made us feel welcome and ensured that everything was perfect throughout the evening.“

“Amazing amazing amazing this place is really nice. Very inviting and fantastic food.“

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

“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!“

“Just tried this restaurant with my family. Highly recommend. Food was fresh. Pasta is made in house. The salad was fresh. Service was consistent. Place is beautiful. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“
