47 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Food and service was very good!!!“

“We did a walkin right when Gigi’s opened at 5pm and got a table without a reservation. The servers were really nice and welcoming. We sat outside which was nice but since it was summer here in Georgia there were quite a few flies around so definitely something to keep in mind.

The food and drinks are both creative and interesting and we enjoyed trying different dishes. The prices are pretty high for the portions though so I’d probably come back more for the experience and to try something different rather than for a casual dinner“

“Incredible food. Fantastic service. Enough said.“

“Great service and nice menu selection.“

“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.“

“We've been having private parties with them for years now, and every time is a wonderful experience. One of the few places that know how to cook your steak EXACTLY the way you want it. Exceptional in every way. Always looking forward to coming back here.“

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

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, service, and overall experience. Our server, Brandon, was incredibly knowledgeable of the menu, had great personal recommendations, and was both professional and personable. A live vinyl DJ and the unique interior design both contributed to a perfect dining atmosphere.“

“This was an excellent dining experience. The service, food, and ambiance was spectacular. So delicious 😋 I“

“Great tasting food! Great casual dining experience!“

“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.“

“Came here with a group of friends after a concert and loss track of time. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, while our experience was relaxing and easy thanks to Jay. He made great recommendations and allowed us to focus on great food and each other’s company. Will be coming back.“

“This is my favorite “secret” in the city! Truly authentic Italian market and cafe. Sandwiches are made just like the ones I had in Rome! (The owners immigrated from Italy so you know it’s authentic). Unique Italian wine selection, and a perfect little market. I still haven’t done one of their cooking classes, but I want to!“

“Great food, but a little extra guidance would make it 5 stars!

I dropped by ROSSO around 8:30 PM on a weekday after a Trader Joe’s run. It was my first time visiting, and the atmosphere was lovely, dimly lit, calm, and not overly crowded.

I sat at the bar to place my to-go order and was greeted quickly. I asked the bartender to choose between the chicken parmesan and the chicken alla vodka, and he recommended the alla vodka. Service was fast, and I took the food home. When I unpacked everything at home, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and massive chicken cutlets. The food was delicious!

My only minor drawback was the customer service experience for a first-timer. Since higher-end menus often serve entrees à la carte, I didn't realize it didn't come with sides until I opened up my food at home. It would have been great if the bartender had asked if it was my first time or mentioned that sides were separate when recommending the dish.

Overall, a very good experience with excellent food. I would definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place. Always a tough choice between pasta and pizza since I love both. Pasta like Nona made it and great authentic Neapolitan pizza. The arancini app is always a must. Also nice that they have their own free parking in Decatur. Go on Wednesdays for 1/2 off wine.“

“Great food great service ? really enjoyed“

“Great food and fantastic service!“

“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!“

“Incredible pizza. I have traveled the world and rate this as one of the best tasting pizzas I have had. A hidden gem.“

“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 👏🥂❤️“

“Had an amazing lunch at Elise today in a great setting.

Sourdough with butter and olives: The olives were so damn good!

Cavatelli with lamb ragu - Amazing, very generous portion. Flavor was awesome. Cold smoked lamb leg, braised after.

Smoked ricotta raviolini - Outstanding, beautiful presentation. Perfectly prepared vegetables.

It was busy for lunchtime, but Chef Craig still came over to address our table. Y'all need to check this spot out. Highly recommend, and I can’t wait to get back down here for dinner!“

“Excellent all around! Extremely kind staff, perfect food. We took my in-laws visiting from out of town and they were racing about this being the best pasta they have ever had and requested that we take them back each time they come in town. Easy done deal because we love it too!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love this local spot. Most everyone at the bar knows one another. Kind of like “Cheers” with a twang. I shouldn’t be reviewing it because I don’t want it to get more crowded 🤣 I love the bar side. The food is always consistent. I love that you can get one slice of pizza! But my favorite is the BLT. They really make a good BLT. The prices are the best around. The bartender is always busy but not so busy that you have to wait. Watching her and how hard she works is a small wonder. This place is my go to if I don’t feel like cooking. They have a good beer selection and give you a huge pour of wine. Ya’ll know I’ll be going back. Probably next week!“

“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.“
