The New Orleans Connection

Disgusted with your service. We had reservations and wait an hour and 15 mins past over table time and still did not receive a table. Waited out in the cold on Christmas Eve. Awful

The food is phenomenal. The portions are so huge. We definitely had plenty to take home. The service was out of this world. everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. The prices were incredible. I can't say enough good things about this gem of a restaurant. Definitely a restaurant to hit up if you're in the Atlanta area.

Just went for the first time, and it was great! I had the veal parmesan and it was Faltastic! Service was great, food came out quick. The atmosphere is a little odd, small place but it is cozy. We both loved it and will be back!

A hidden gem. The food and service was wonderful. Our waitress Madeline was very personable. The pasta dishes were hearty and flavorful. I highly recommend.

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!

Restaurants that charge fees for non-cash payment are gross. Considering the price of a meal, it's basically a mandatory upcharge (like a hotel's scuzzy "Resort Fee") and all restaurants should just be honest and add swipe fees to their menu prices. (I see another poster here has called them out for this.) Normally I give restaurants who charge these fees 1 or 2 pips. I'll give this one a break because - my impression - most of the folks whom I saw dining there seemed to be locals / regulars: they already know the deal, and either eat the fee or visit the ATM. So I'll give it 4 pips. The pasta was excellent - my strong guess is homemade - and the sauce cared for. I've been to Rome many times, and this is as authentic as I've had in the US outside of NY or Chicago. I felt the dish (Amatriciana) was a bit under-seasoned, and while that could be a mistake - or could be my taste - I think it was more that they were expecting a bit more seasoning in the batch of pork cheeks they ended up with.

Quality handmade pasta. Terrific seafood and Italian specialties. Desserts are amazing, especially the brûlée cheesecake. Nice spot for dinner.

This is now my husband’s favorite restaurant. He’s a fanatic about Italian food and orders gnocchi at every opportunity. He likened his meal here to the outstanding ones he’d had in Florence, Italy and in Little Italy in New York City. I ordered the Chicken Piccata and was just as pleased. Stefano, our waiter, was exceptional.

First of all you will be greeted with big smile and warm welcome. Servers were extremely friendly and introduced their special menu. Foods were marinated with exotic taste and had deep classy feeling. Absolutely loved it.

Excellent food and professional service. Wonderful pasta and great wine list. The antipasti is huge. I would come here regularly if I lived locally.

Live in Sandy Springs but drove to Smyrna to try this neighborhood spot. Great food. Had the bruschetta and chicken piccata and then a little tiramisu for dessert. All good. Nice vibe. Friendly people. Definitely a popular spot. Wish they were located in Sandy Springs.

But the last time we ate here, a bug flew out of my mussels when the warming lid was removed. Sad to say, I couldn’t eat it at all.

I like the food here. As an ex New Yorker, this is as close to a New York style southern Italian restaurant as you can find in the area. Having said that I will never eat here again. Without any notice or warning on the menu or website, when I received the bill a surcharge of about 3.8% was added to the bill for "non cash payment." I have never seen or had this happen in any restaurant, and frankly it is outrageous. I do not want to have to bring $200 cash to pay for a restaurant bill. No thanks, never again, and to any reading this review, "buyer beware."

we love it here, best food, old world authentic atmosphere, STAN on friday is the best. The owners are like family, love it.. we go all the time

I went to the first restaurant the night before and met the owner Antonio. Great guy and very attentive to the business. He recommended the duck ragu with paccheri. I went tonight to try their other restaurant and it did not disappoint. Antonio's wife was sweet but I must say MIca the server was tremendous and very sweet. Excellent service
