46 Best Italian Restaurants near Stonecrest

“My friends and visited Olive Garden at Stonecrest Lithonia on 03/04/25. Everything was great and was going fin. Our server was Akalnesh T, was really good my two friend paid with cash and I paid with a card. We gave her a tip in cash separate. When she picked up the money, she put it all together, I don't know what happened, but she came back to the table and said we didn't give her enough money or a tip.“

“Today I called in an order for a small cauliflower pepperoni pizza and a pizza bowl and the lady name Shay that took my order was awesome! When I arrived the restaurant was clean and Shay was very polite and attentive and I told her about it because it meant everything to me. Please keep her she is awesome!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great service and nice menu selection.“

“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.“

“What an amazing place! John T Edge put me on this place and it’s absolutely incredible. The place is smaller so make a reservation. From the minute you walk in, you can tell this place is special. They have some outdoor seating that resembles a European cafe but the best place to me is in the room with the kitchen. The smells, the ambiance, the decor all make for a wonderful vibe.

Their menu is small but boy does it pack a punch! I got the spicy vodka pasta and my wife got the one with spinach and mushrooms and I honestly don’t know which was better. They were both perfect! Then we all split a tiramisu and outside of Italy, it was one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a great neighborhood spot!“

“Incredible food. Fantastic service. Enough said.“

“Food and service was very good!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“As a Amex Platinum Member I love the atmosphere food & service Shane was my server he did a great job with menu I got the Filet Mignon with truffle butter & truffle Campanella it was Best Filet Mignon I ever had it was so tender and good it’s definitely worth the money I love their lounge with bar very easy to park also across the street or valet definitely worth another visit.“

“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.“

“Always a wonderful 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.“

“Great food great service ? really enjoyed“

“What a vibe! Such a great spot! Had the vegetarian panini and it was everything I needed it to be. The cannoli was also fabulous. Best part was the service, though. The cashier was this lovely Filipina lady who made the experience so lively! She was a true ray of sunshine! 10/10 experience and will absolutely be back.“

“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.“

“yummy! I got the tomato basil penne and garlic bread, it was delicious!“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my granddaughter yesterday evening at Amore e Amore! Delicious food and excellent service. The decorations and the party atmosphere were so much fun! I will definitely be back 👏🥂❤️“

“Great food and fantastic service!“

“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.“

“Came in for a quick dinner and honestly had the best time! Our server Emily was fantastic, kept us laughing, and provided solid direction on what to order as first timers. We will definitely be back to try more! The duck pasta and cauliflower app was delicious“

“Elyse did amazing! Great food, Thank you kitchen staff for making my little one’s day on dessert. Cannoli and shrimp scampi delicious. The bread is also great!!! Must come back when we come in town again.“

“What a little gem!!! I don’t live in ATL, but I’ll be back! The service was amazing and the food was Incredible!
Our server shared with us the special pizza for the day and we knew we wanted a pizza and a pasta. I could tell by the photos online it was home made pasta so we had to try it!
To my disappointment, he said go with the spaghetti and meatballs. Don’t get me wrong…I love spaghetti and meatballs but I make that at home. I asked him more than once if he was SURE 🤣 and he said trust me. So we got the pizza special…four cheese, ham, spicy salami (very spicy!) and a little basil. Well, it was the BEST spaghetti and meatballs I’ve ever had and the pizza was just what we were hoping for! Fresh, delicious, soft and thin. Everything was fresh and oh so yummy! Then he asked about wine…8”I wasn’t going to, but I asked what he recommended based on our order, and let me tell you:::DELICIOUS! And then…the bill…it was so much less than they could charge! Very inexpensive. Do yourself a favor and go here!“

“Soooo, found my new spot. The pizza wontons, AMAZING. The ranch?!?!? I don’t say this often at all but I could drink their ranch. The smash burger, so much flavor.. the fries?!?!?! Come on man, so good. So crispy and fresh. The atmosphere was clean, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food came out in like 15 mins, and I ate every bit of it. Will be back soon.“

“How about Dine-in and taken out from the place a piece is pretty good I like the Lasagna plate haven't tried everything yet plus they have the O'Keefe's bar next door it's more of a local neighborhood hang out there are several Avondale this one the eldest if you just want to sit down and chill my friend want some sports or just a family time this will be the place to go“

“We had dinner here tonight after several hours at the Aquarium. The pizza was probably the best we’ve eaten around Atlanta and I’ve been here for over 20 years. Our server was friendly and on point. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. If you are looking for a place to eat near the Aquarium, this is it! We will be back!“

“The staff at Pasta Vino is just plain great. They make you always make you welcome. The food is just plain great from the salads, the pasta dishes and the wonderful pizza.“
