50 Best Italian Restaurants in Atlanta

“Food was absolutely fabulous! I had a he heirloom tomato risotto with turbot & hubby had the spicy black spaghetti. We topped off our meal with a few whimsical cocktails & of course... dessert. The strawberry cheesecake did not disappoint. Above all, the service makes Bocca di Lupo outstanding! Our waitress explained the menu in such detail we wanted to try everything! All wait staff pitched in & we truly felt pampered!Dietary restrictions: The restaurant was very accommodating to my citrus allergy.“

“So consistent, so good—it’s one of the only places in town we always enjoy. The menu changes often and seasonally but they always keep a few staples. Can’t go wrong with anything you try. Service is great, drink selection is great, tiramisu is extra great!“

“Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere“

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

“Overall it's all good and worth trying“

“Took customers here on a recent visit to the Atlanta area. WOW...I couldn't have been more pleased with the food or service. And kudos to the new pastry chef. OMG the desserts were divine! We all had a great meal and enjoyed the evening. I found the price point to be reasonable and the portions to be perfect. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I would like to highlight two employees of this establishment I frequent so often - Lucy and Abby. Both integral parts of my positive experience at Bar Ti Amo. Lucy, with her infectious personality, attentive nature, and professionalism, her impact on my dining experience is invaluable to say the least. She makes me feel apart of the Bar Ti Amo family and is one of the staff members that keep me coming back on a regular basis. Without her, the dining experience would be significantly crippled.Abby, meeting her more recently, is a personable, warm, and entertaining bartender. Her easy-going approach to conversation left a memorable mark on my experience at Bar Ti Amo. Attentive, caring, and approachable, is what keeps I and others sitting at the bar with Abby.Confidently, I can say without these two individuals here, my experience at Bar Ti Amo would not be as unique and cherished as it is.“

“My husband and I had reservations on Saturday at Dirty Rascal. Upon arrival, we were able to be seated right away. We originally wanted to be seated outside, but couldn't do to a buyout. So we were seated in the booth area inside. Once seated, it took awhile to be greeted by our server; however, I don't fault her because they seemed understaffed. She arrived and asked to take our appetizer order. We put in an order for the crispy St. Louis ravioli. We wanted to put in a drink order as well, but we weren't asked at the time. Our ravioli came out and it was hot and crispy. We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Still waiting to place our drink orders, we decided the next time our server came, we needed to order everything at once. She eventually came back and we ordered an old fashioned, margarita italiano, the lobster spaghetti (only served on Friday-Saturday), and the scallop & lemon risotto. It didn't take long for our drinks to come out and they were pretty good. Shortly thereafter, our food came out. Thankfully, it was hot, as I read other reviews of food being served cold. So I happy about that. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience and we hope the service will be better to up those stars to a 5. Looking forward to dining again in the future.“

“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.“

“Accommodating seven people on a very busy Sunday night and having them all happy after dinner was over is no small feat. The salads are fresh and the pizzas are cooked just right. Our server was very attentive to what can only be described as an eclectic crowd. Highly recommended.“

“Awsome place. All homemade items imported coffee. just amazing“

“Great service and great jerk chicken“

“Excellent food, deli, and grocery selections! We got fresh pasta and dessert from here before but this was our first time eating a meal. The panini were delicious, well balanced, and not greasy. The stars of the show were probably the sides and dessert, though. The feta eggplant pasta and lentil shrimp soup were flavorful and well executed. The raspberry chocolate mousse was decadent. Although service was a little slow, everyone was extremely friendly. Will definitely return if we get the opportunity!“

“I would recommend the Wagyu beef and lobster pasta. The service and staff are amazing’. We celebrated with our daughter and had a wonderful dinner!“

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

“Always a wonderful experience!“

“Delicious Italian cuisine. Great atmosphere and the service was perfect.“

“Love this place but Tuesday nights with DJ are a bit of a challenge. Music is so loud the server could not hear anything we said and wrong food was ordered. Took 45 minutes to get drinks for the first two of our group that sat down, while the rest of us got ours quickly. Bread was cold too. Every place has a bad night, so will certainly try again soon but maybe not on a Tuesday.“

“Bellina Alimentari is one of my favorite go to Italian restaurants. We love sitting at the bar or outside PCM on their patio with our dog. Their wine selection and cocktails are always a delight and their pasta sauces are always so rich and creamy, which I love! They travel well so make for a good delivery spot too!“

“We absolutely loved the place. The food was unbelievably good. I am gluten free and the pizza and focaccia bread was to die for. I could not get enough. Our waitstaff (Ayana - I think I spelled it correctly) was the best. Everyone was helpful, pleasant and seemed happy to be there. Not something you find often.“

“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.“

“We’ve had the privilege of eating three times so far at this new trendy eatery. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! We especially enjoyed the ravioli, pizza, halibut, grouper, and spaghetti with meatballs. Cocktails and desserts were delicious as well. We look forward to our next visit!“

“The phone was off the hook and so we had to order when we got there. On line ordering not an option. But they were very apologetic and offered me water with lemon. We’ve determined that their sauce-less pizza with mushrooms, onions and shrimp is our favorite of all pizzas in town. Also in love with their pomodoro sauce, which the chef gave me the recipe years ago but I can’t replicate the taste.“

“Great tasting food! Great casual dining experience!“

“I really wanted to love this place. I have been to the Piedmont location and absolutely loved it. The food at Dunwoody was wonderful, but the feel of this location is more of an average breakfast chain restaurant. The servers are like typical chain restaurant servers and their uniforms are sloppy and the unprofessional. It by far lacks the class and sophistication of the Piedmont location.“

“Great experience definitely the place that has replaced Hide since that shut down. Same vibes just more mature“

“Shoutout to Chef Bryce! He took care of our dietary restrictions and came out to meet us. He assured and suggested us on items we can have without onion and garlic. Most places don’t even know what ingredients are used in their foods. The service was great and we could catch the Hasan Minhaj show after as they were super quick to accommodate us. Please support this business!We ordered a cheese pie with toppings. Their tomato sauce did not have garlic or onion in it.Vegetarian options: They have several vegeterian optionsDietary restrictions: Chef accommodated our Onion and Garlic allergy“

“Watermelon salad was a good choice. Next time I will order two dishes. One was not enough“

“La tavola is our favorite Italian restaurant! Vahi is a quaint neighborhood and La tavola is equally quaint and romantic! The food is always amazing! Local tip: sitting at the bar is always awesome!“

“We came from Rochester NY to visit family and loved everything about Postino. Great wine, fun food options and the service from Maria was amazing. Maria gave us perfect recommendations that we all enjoyed.Can my wait for our next trip to Atlanta and try more great wine and food.“

“A great little casual eatery. The pizza’s no frills and delicious.“

“10 out of 10. First of all the service was completely amazing, actually one of the best I've had in Atlanta besides Bulla. The food was incredible. We had the shrimp as a starter and it's really the best I've ever had. April our server was so amazing and took great care of us. The manager stopped by our table to see if everything was good and actually brought us an extra side dish while we were waiting for additional sides and the bonus part is that they didn't even charge for that. I highly, highly recommend this place. It's beautiful and all of our food was incredibly good. We had the duck breast as a main course and it was so delicious. I am definitely coming back, a new favorite restaurant for me❤️“

“EVERYTHING WAS NICE FROM EMPLOYEES TO FOOD! My new favorite place!“

“Ali stopped by and bought delicious samples for our office. The fettuccini pasta and breadsticks are great! Everyone loved them. Can't wait to have them cater our next office luncheon.“

“Very classy restaurant. Servers were friendly. Food was amazing!“

“Super stocked to come here, and it did not disappoint!! Open late!! Yay!! Came for dessert and coffee, both were excellent and I would hands down come here again!! So many cakes to choose from and the coffee menu is huge!!!Parking: Free 2 hour parking in parking garage, with validated ticket from cafe“

“Phoenix was OUTSTANDING - personable, upbeat, and warm! He gave good recommendations on what and how to order, which were spot-on and taken.I enjoyed my lunchtime, solo sojourn at this location. The team and ambiance were awesome. Most importantly, the food was excellent.“

“The total experience was great“

“We did the pasta making class. We all enjoyed the class it was a total of eight of us. We had a great time. The instructor was Pat. He was amazing.“

“I can't wait to come back here. The beautiful high ceilings with plenty of natural lighting, the impeccable service, and the incredible food. Our server was SO accommodating and knowledgeable. She was able to make a cocktail from an old menu based on measurements of the drink from a prior visit and she nailed it. She was also very friendly and always had a smile on. It's a beautiful restaurant. It's not too posh or modern, but it almost feels like you're not in Georgia because of the European color scheme and floor to ceiling windows. The Tagliata Di Manzo (aka ribeye) was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the capers were the unexpected star of the show. They added the right amount of salt and tang to the steak. The charcuterie selection board is probably one of my favorites that I've had so far in Atlanta. Huge portions, every single meat and cheese was delicious. I really appreciated the honeycomb, honey is such a perfect complement to charcuterie but not everywhere served them together. The mustard/relish condiment was also a nice surprise - not too mustard forward, but enough acidity to go with the sweetness of the meats. the prosciutto was the softest I've ever had - in the best way. It almost melted in your mouth. I wish they served endless amounts of their fresh focaccia. It is so crispy that the outside almost shatters when you crack into it while the inside stays fluffy. It is the ideal foundation to eat with your charcuterie as well. The hamachi was okay - felt like it needed more salt in order to bring out the flavor of the fish. The patate croccanti was an excellent accompaniment for the ribeye. They had a nice funk from the cheese and they were not too crispy but still crispy enough to be the textural component of the meal. Will be coming back and would highly recommend.“

“Great food! We eat here often and it always reliably outstanding. Plus we have tried most of the wide variety of Italian menu items and have liked all of them. Also, very reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome. What a find!“

“We stopped in on Saturday night after spending all day at the convention center for Atlanta Comic Con. Was seated quickly and the pizza was absolutely fantastic! 10/10 will come back next time we’re downtown and have a craving for pizza!“

“I can't believe it took me so long to say what an amazing food truck/ restaurant meatballerz is. the first time I ate at this restaurant was around 7 years ago. honestly I don't do reviews that much, but I was just in my house in Clearwater,FL. at 11:45 pm Thinking about the most delicious Italian food I have ever had.P.S if anyone is coming to Clearwater bring me a meatball sandwich ? ?“

“great pizza!!! we split the garlic knots and the margarita pizza AND OMG we left so satisfied! It was damn amazing. and lemoncello spritz was chefs kiss. also all the servers and staff had great personalities :) would definitely come back!!!! asap lol RUN DON’T WALK to double zero“

“Postino is a gem in Atlanta's dining scene. Kasey and Tim are truly exceptional, making every visit a delight. Their extensive wine selection and delicious lunch offerings make it a must-visit spot. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a cozy lunch spot, Postino won't disappoint.“

“Came here for dinner with my husband and had an excellent time! The food tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. Drinks were good too, and our server was really nice! We’ll definitely be backParking: They validate parking for the garage under 725 ponce“

“This restaurant and the people that work here are so very special. The food is spectacular…thats a given. The atmosphere and the staff are what make it feel like you are with friends and family and you are home. It truly is my happy place. ❤️“

“Early light supper! Food always great !! Customer Service is amazing.“

“Best experience ever…The chef came out to greet and welcome us as we sat down before the evening rush came in. I inquired about a dish in the food window and the Chef Stated this particular entree is not on the menu yet, but he still has enough left to serve as the entree as well. Chicken Piccata w/ mashed potatoes! OMG so delicious, tasty, and flavorful. It’s now one of my favorites. Thanks, Chef…that was Very welcoming and inviting of you.“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“
