7 Best Italian Restaurants near Dawsonville

“My experience was amazing! My server Lesly gave us a service that made our dinner amazing! We had a lot of re-fills for soup/salads. Her recommendations for appetizers were quite pleasant! I will definitely come back to this location from this experience.“

“I’m born and raised a Jersey native. Have been here over 25 years. My wish for the northerners that are all now in Georgia & especially migrating to North Georgia…IS THAT THE ONLY PLACE you will come close to the REAL NY/NJ style pizza & pastas is Brooklyn Joe’s I’m Dawsonville. Not only that, but Jacob who is the manager goes above and beyond to bring you the BEST dining experience for you & family. I had given up on Georgia for REAL Yankee pizza…until now. The comments on political $h&I! on TV…is just ? & obvious. Enjoy your meal here if your visiting or moved to the surrounding areas. Georgia has so much great food already. Happy that Brooklyn Joe’s can offer a taste of the North.“

“Always tasty and great service. It's a pleasure to dine here!“

“Wonderful dinner for 8 last night! Beautiful venue, great service, wine & food!“

“The service was attentive and exceptional. Our server, Beatrice, made excellent suggestions, which was important, being this was our first visit. The Zucchini and Carrot Soup, was an incredible start and the salads were fresh and refreshing. I had the Tuscan Salmon and Risotto, (image below) (oh and notice we sampled the food before taking the photos) the Salmon was cooked perfectly and the Risotto (the true test of any chef) was truly perfection. Ahhh then the desserts! Tiramisu was beyond expectations and the cannolis were perfect texture and a hint of cinnamon. Just like my uncle Tony used to make! We will be back! There are several items on this menu that are calling out to us. I can’t wait to try them. One will be the Ciopino!“

“Trattoria is a gem of an addition to Monaluce! Great food and service. Outside service is fabulous with a great fire pit. That being said, there is 1 negative that I hope they fix, or I will limit my visits. It's the wine cost and selection. Even at the finest restaurants in Atlanta 20 to 25 dollars per glass is ok for their finest wines. At Trattoria, their very mediocre wines, (was told a couple of them on the menu are grapes that they bring in), are 20-25 per glass. That, to me, is not a very good selling point. Expand your menu, add some NAPA wines, charge me 20 per glass and I will frequent Trattoria!“

“Gustavo’s Pizza is a solid choice for simple, satisfying pizza done well! The thinner crust has a nice crunch, complemented by flavorful sauce, balanced seasoning, and generous toppings. Available by the slice or whole pie, with single-topping slices under $5 and portions hearty enough for a light lunch. They also offer sides, beer, wine, and cocktails. Service was friendly and efficient, with no wait during our visit. Affordable, reliable, and a great stop for a casual meal!“
