We ALWAYS have the best experience of any restaurant! We come here every 6 months when we are in Atlanta for market. They always remember us by name and they go over & beyond to make our experience memorable! Fantastic service, food, atmosphere & the staff is so friendly and energetic! We always have a dance in the aisles after 8:00 when the music turns up! Always decorated for the holidays and such a wonderful, eclectic spot! We do miss the Professor & mom!

From the pre-meal cocktails to the dessert, all was phenomenal. If you don’t get the Pane E Pomodoro appetizer, you’ll regret it! The Cavatelli, Artic Char and Saltimbocca were superb and you can’t beat the cheesecake and olive oil cake.
