50 Best Italian Restaurants near Smyrna

“Great food, fantastic service, and an environmental restaurant! I will be back! Also nice decor and atmosphere!“

“We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary on a Wednesday night. They warmly welcomed us even though we didn't have reservations. The chicken piccata was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the broccolini, tomato, mushroom side vegetable was not over cooked, but hot and generous and enough for two to share. My husband had the chicken parmesan, and we both switched out the spagetti that was on the menu to the fettucini made in house. They are known for their fresh pasta. The TV's played a travel video of Italy which was a nice departure from sports or news. The music was Italian as far as I know, definitely not pop culture. The tables are close together because it is a small intimate space. Our waitress was attentive and cheerful. We will definitely be back!“

“Service was excellent, friendly attitude and attentive. The minestrone soup was really good hot and flavorful. The chicken was tasty along with the spaghetti. Ice tea was also brewed correctly and good to my palette. Resturant was super clean and the manager was overlooking the Olive Garden operation. Also the rest room was spotless and functional.“

“amazing service! I picked up pizza during a rainstorm and an employee escorted me back to my car to keep me, and the pizzas, dry!! what a pleasant surprise. good pizza also 😊“

“Food was very good. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Their brunch eggs is the best in this are that's for sure. Salads are always crispy and fresh. This is my seventh time buying their salads. Well worth the money“

“I can’t say this lightly. Whoever made the order for ticket #81 on June 11, 2026 at 8:04 PM needs a raise and promotion expeditiously. They might even need to run every Jets kitchen in metro Atlanta.

My pizza was cooked PERFECTLY. I’m talking crust crisped just right, cheese melted just right, and the right amount of sauce on underneath.

They forgot the dipping sauce for my Jets bread, but I ain’t even trippin cause the Jets bread was gas too!!!! Even without the sauce, I inhaled 4 slices in like 3 min.

I’m from Detroit, the hometown of Jets and I ain’t gon lie, this was better than some of the pizza I got from the crib. Don’t let nobody else at this location make pizza. Whoever was in there cooking yesterday got it forreal.“

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

“Incredible food. Fantastic service. Enough said.“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“Hosted a large happy hour here for business professionals and the service and quality of drinks and food were fabulous. Stayed for dinner and had the same experience. Highly recommend. Hard to find good service these days. Oh and parking was a breeze after 5.“

“What a gorgeous restaurant! My experience at the charcuterie bar was excellent! Carefully selected cured meats and regional Italian cheeses. It felt like being in Tuscany for a night. Cocktails are well executed and served. Definitely the perfect Italian spot in town to get together in a charming, yet casual setting. Can’t wait to dine on the patio, as the weather warms up. Highly recommended!“

“We’ve been trying to get in for a while and finally did, it was worth it! The food was good, the spritz amazing, and the service phenomenal!! Avery was wonderful and we will be back!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“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.“

“Authentic and delicious Italian! Daniele and Bella went above and beyond for my wife’s birthday celebration with 25 people, and made it a truly memorable experience. I’d give six stars if I could!“

“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!“

“The food is absolutely amazing. Customer service is friendly And warm. My new favorite place to eat.“

“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.“

“I’m so happy I ate Good food, great staff, and nice customer service. So glad to have such incredible food and I will always visit il Giallo Osteria & Bar“

“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.“

“My husband and I used to deliver for these guys through UberEats and DoorDash back in 2019. They were always respectful. Food was always made on time, sometimes a little later than usual. We have even bought food and drinks from them. Their pizza was always spot on. I wish we still lived there to order more of their food. I highly recommend this place. The owner is really nice as well, and is very respectful.“

“My youngest son too me for my birthday. WONDERFUL food and atmosphere! I had the Gluten free pasta with meat sauce, the endless salad and special ice cream, my son had the meat ravioli and garlic rolls. I highly recommend going to Provino’s for a nice Italian meal. On your birthday you do get a free meal, salad, garlic rolls and their ice cream! I’ve been to this location 3 times this year alone!!“

“As lovers of Lyla Lila, we were so excited to try Elise. We ordered the tuna tartare, hamachi crudo, crispy vegetables, prawns, beet & peach salad, clam linguine, lamb cavatelli, and roast chicken.
Of these, the lamb cavatelli and roast chicken were on par with Lyla Lila - delicious, cooked and seasoned well, amazing textures. The chicken was delicious, almost like duck, and it was a hearty portion with crispy skin and perfect accompaniments. The cavatelli had a perfect chew, and the lamb was rich and delicious.
The hamachi crudo was average - not outstanding. The beet & peach salad was also tasty due to using fresh, flavorful ingredients.
We were excited about the crispy vegetables, but they underdelivered. The texture was great (crispy!), but they didn't have much flavor. There was an accompanying sauce, but it was decent at best. The prawns lacked the texture of fresh, well-cooked prawns, being a bit mushy. The sauce was very visually vibrant, but it was not flavorfully vibrant. The crispy polenta squares were very good though, but there were just a few little cubes of it. The linguine itself was a good texture, but the sauce and the seafood were relatively flavorless.
I believe if you went and had just the lamb cavatelli and roast chicken, it would be a delightful time. However, comparing it to Lyla Lila, where almost everything I've had has been extraordinary, it was a bit of a disappointment.“
