The dining room is beautiful and the staff is friendly and pleasant. Our server, Mia was genuine and excellent, attentive without hovering. The food was outstanding, one of the finest dinners we've had in our travels in Europe and the US. Highest recommendation! read more

Our waiter, Tanner, truly made the dinner special. He was attentive, funny, helpful, and genuinely friendly, which elevated the entire experience. We were in Atlanta for a team meeting and dined together as a group. Although we had a limited menu, everything we tried was excellent. I especially enjoyed the pasta with lamb and pork meatballs, the Caesar salad, and the apple cobbler which was outstanding. We also enjoyed a few bottles of Michael David Earthquake Cab. While I don't usually order coffee at this time of day, I'm glad I did; it was so smooth and flavorful that I plan to ask about the brand so I can enjoy it at home. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, and everyone left the evening very satisfied with the overall experience. read more

The service was excellent from the greeting when we arrived right through to our waiter and his assistant and the manager who stopped by to check on us! We shared the antipasti plate which was ample for two people with a nice variety of meats, cheeses and accompaniments. Iur main courses of chicken parm and steak milanaise were both very good. All in all a most enjoyable evening! read more

Upscale restaurant with relaxed vibe. Dined solo so sat at the bar. The bartender took excellent care of me. Their wine list and cocktail menu were extensive with anything you could possibly want. You know the bar is good when they stock Amaro Nono. I really liked that they have a "specials" menu with recommended pairings. I started with a wonderful Caymus red blend, Lobster Bisque followed by the Sweet Potato Gnocchi for an entree. The Lobster Bisque was the best I've had anywhere. The Gnocchi with Artichokes and Sausage was special as well. Prepared perfectly with large portions. No room for dessert so that will have to wait until I return. Service was friendly and amazing. Atalian is an Atlanta downtown gem. read more

Meh it's ok .. gotta be honest, the antipasto was extremely poor quality and it was tough to come back from that. The shrimp diavolo was good and my filet tips Marsala were good as well. Servings are a little small for the price. It is centrally located and they were able to accommodate a last minute reservation. read more

The perfect hidden gem! Walk upstairs and smell the amazing food you are about to devour. We were visiting from out of town. We knew we were coming in late so we ordered to go and enjoyed a drink at a high top. The service was by far the best experience. Everyone was so helpful and nice l. We enjoyed conversations with multiple staff members. We came back to the hotel and enjoyed a great lasagna and amazing dessert. Make sure to make a reservation and check them out! read more

It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but worth it! I had the original lasagna and my wife had gluten free penne pasta. Food was fantastic and the sangria was delightful. The place really gives off a cool vibe. Service was prompt and overall it was a great dining experience! read more

1. Food was great and great quality. 2. Service was very good. 3. Decoration and ambience were excellent. 4. The only negative was the restaurant was too cold. Should be 5 degrees warmer. Everyone at our table was too cold. read more

Absolutely lovely time! Every member of the staff we interacted with were fantastic, the hostess was nice and professional, and our waitresses were friendly and quick (thank you Anita and Marie)! The food was wonderful, nice big satisfying portions with great flavors! My partner and I got the lamb shank and sweet potato gnocchi and we kept swapping because we couldn't decide which we liked better! Atmosphere was also great, it feels like a small haven away from the city because you have to go up a set of stairs for this hidden gem. Loved it, can't wait to go again! read more

First night in downtown Atlanta for work, and we picked this spot on a whim. We were not dissapointed. They were able to seat us immediately, and the service was great. Big shout out to Tugce who was extremely helpful with the menu and was super sweet about answering all my questions. I got the Pecan Crusted Sea Bass which was a special. The cook was great and the sauce was on point. I also got the Shrimp Diavolo. They have a southern Italian fusion style so the sauces are red and a little spicy which I am definitely into. The vibe was pretty fancy with the dimly lit nice decoration kind of thing. Overall it was a great time. We will likely take some of our work colleagues here this week. Also we gotta go see Tugce again! Thanks, Atalian! read more

Our dinner at Atalian tonight was some of the best Italian I've ever had, which is a bold statement. The food was absolutely impeccable & the service was top notch- with a wonderful wine program too! Located in downtown Atlanta, Atalian came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. Our server team was Anita & Marie, and they made sure we had a wonderful experience. We started with the tuna tartare, which was prepared poke-style with house made chips. It was perfectly prepared with fresh avocado, sesame oil & ponzu, and not too salty. They also bring out bread service- 2 artisan breads with a sun-dried tomato olive oil dipping sauce, it was delicious!! We got a bottle of Leviathan red blend, which I picked after perusing the menu for a bit ($80 so mid-road for their selection, if you don't include the $300+ reserve bottles). It was divine. Joey got the meatballs & linguine, and the meatballs were just like Italian nonna recipe with a perfectly prepared marinara with subtle garlic & fresh basil.. sooooo good. I chose the Steakhouse bolognese, which was pappardelle tossed with a different marinara than Joeys & the meat was so tender & steak/short-rib style. So freakin good! All in all, we left with extremely full bellies & can't stop raving about how wonderful our meal was.. one of the best we've had out to eat in quite a while. Huge thanks Atalian, we hope you'll come to downtown Denver so we can eat like queens way more often! read more

My mom makes the best lasagna on the planet... hands down... no one else has ever come close...EVER! My mom passed away 13 years ago and even though I have her recipe and I make it for special occasions... mine misses that magic touch... that sprinkle of love that makes you realize you are special because someone made this dish for you! Mine may taste like mom's... but it isn't. Every other lasagna I've ever had has missed that ingredient too... sure, others have tried and there has been good lasagna and a couple of great lasagna... but even when a girl made me lasagna on a date, I didn't feel the love. Albeit, hers was the Hamburger Helper variety Nonetheless, many have tried and many have failed... and then there was Atalian Kichen! Now their sauce lacked the punch that my mom's had but my mom had a heavy hand with the red wine and she used a hot Italian/ sweet italian blend that always have it the right amount of kick. Too be clear, mom's is still the best because I fear what she might do from beyond the grave should I profess another is better... bit more red wine and a little bit of heat and I'd be in trouble because the LOVE in this dish? DAMN! It's tangible. You can see it with the stellar presentation. Perfectly crafted with precision... not an herb out of place. Symmetrical from top to bottom. Encased with a warm hug of pure bliss... that cheesy creamy layer on top...I honestly don't know what that is... I'm thinking creme fraiche... but whatever it was really sent this dish over the top! This is an experience...I nearly wept while eating this lasagna... someone in this kitchen loves what they do and it shows! #2 Lasagna in the World!!! Love you Ma! read more

Atalian KITCHEN & BAR - Like Momma's Love... this is truly a work of art... - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Premier spot of a calm atmosphere that will be humble even when someone is eating alone. I sat at the bar and the attention was given and not too intrusive. The menu of the drinks is impressive and it has various types of wines and cocktails and even its specials menu is thoughtful and matches the dishes well. The lobster bisque was well cooked and the gnocchi was excellent and full of flavor. Servings were large, but movement was a little uneasy here and there. All in all, it was a very pleasant event and really good food and good service, yet a few minor details did not make it the spectacular event. read more

I was in ATL for a work trip, and my coworkers suggested Atalian during our downtime. I am so glad we went! Quick tip for first-timers: it is tucked inside another restaurant on the top floor, so do not be thrown off when you first arrive. The space itself is gorgeous, with an ambiance that feels elevated but still comfortable. My coworkers ordered the shrimp scampi (our server immediately hyped it up with a "great choice by the way" and she was right, they loved it). I went with the salmon and it was heavenly. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Drinks did not disappoint either. I had a lemon drop that hit all the right notes. Shoutout to the bartender for making it just right. Service overall was wonderful. The two ladies who helped us were so kind, attentive, and really added to the experience. Definitely one of those places I would return to next time I am in Atlanta. read more

Food was good. Lasagna had great flavor. Service was adequate but a bit slow. We were told our reservations weren't on the book but they " would find us a table". It's in a weird part of the city and kind of looks worn inside. Overall. Ok. Quality wines by the glass which is nice to see. Food not fuel. I rarely give 5's. read more

Absolutely recommend!! We came to Atlanta for a work conference and I'm so glad we found this place. The atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing. The lights and decor are pretty- the overall aesthetic of the restaurant is so modern and nice. The food! Everything on the menu looked delicious. We ended up ordering the chicken parmigiana and chicken pesto pasta. Both were delicious dishes. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. They bring out this bread with this sun dried tomato sauce and it is. To. Die. For. There is something to be said about the hospitality and kindness of the people in Atlanta. Our server, Marvin, was amazing and one of the best waiters I've experienced. He checked in on us, gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. If you are in Atlanta you need to experience this restaurant. It won't disappoint. read more

I had dinner here about a year and a half ago during a business trip, but forgot to post my review promptly. So take this with a grain of salt since things may have changed. I had the chicken parmesan and, as an appetizer, the risotto fritters. The food was good and the portions ample. My main complaint is that the meal seemed very pricey for the very basic meal that it was. $32 for the chicken parm and $18 for the appetizer. It was a nice meal, but not special. read more

Loved both the food and ambiance! Highlight was the Burrata and Shrimp Scampi. Great service as well

Atalian was meant for a corporate expense card. Though the food is quite tasty (and truly bumped it to 3 stars from 2), never have I felt so taken by the prices on a menu. $37 for lasagna?!?! Thankfully, it was very good. The sun dried tomato dip they serve with the bread is amazing as well. The ambiance is quite attractive inside, although I must say the tables are quite cramped. Our group of 5 sat at 6 top and were quite uncomfortable. The service was friendly but nothing amazing. Every server seemed frenzied and ill informed. My tablemates asked for a few drink recommendations and our server couldn't make any because she wasn't 21 yet, nor did she know the difference between their two old fashions. Understandable that she can't drink, but she should still be able to speak to the menu. Especially for the prices they are charging. Although I enjoyed the flavors of dinner, I'm still in shock at how expensive the entrees were. I wouldn't come back. Wasn't worth $80/person. read more

This was the best Italian, hands down, I've ever had. Everything from the service, the atmosphere, and the food was exceptional. We were a large party of 11 and the restaurant was so accomodating right from the start with our reservations. Our servers were phenomenal taking extra care to detail with our party and giving us great recommendations from the menu. And the menu - wow, that was the star. Every single item - appetizer, entree, and dessert - was absolutely delicious. Our crew enjoyed: caprice, eggplant bruschetta, meatballs, bolagnese, parmesan chicken, the sea bass special, iron seared salmon, shrimp scampi, tiramasu, peach cobbler, and creme brulee. Every plate was left empty and we left the restaurant very full! read more

We made a reservation through OpenTable for our 11-year anniversary and specifically noted we wanted a romantic table. Unfortunately, the restaurant should have been closed for a private event that night -- around 60-80 people from a medical conference filled the space, making it unbelievably loud and chaotic. Our server was amazing but the atmosphere was nothing like what we'd expected or what we'd reserved for. We ended up leaving after our appetizer and taking our wine to go. To make matters worse, the manager's response was unprofessional and dismissive rather than apologetic. It's disappointing because this could have been avoided with simple communication or honesty when accepting reservations. If there's ever a large private group, future guests deserve to know before booking. read more

I came in for a solo dinner and took a seat up at the bar where I was immediately greeted by Norm. He welcomed me, walked me through the menus and shared some recommendations. I decided on the bolognese, which was incredible. The ambiance was lovely - nice low lighting, cozy decor etc. Norm's service took the experience from excellent to perfect. Highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner here for my birthday. The food was great, and we really enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. Tables that were seated after us received drinks and bread before we did. It wasn't a huge deal to us, but it felt like, since we were younger than most of the other guests, we weren't given the same attention to detail. They knew it was my birthday and asked if we wanted dessert, which we politely declined. Despite this, they brought out a small brownie and ice cream with a candle and then charged us for it anyway, even though we had clearly said we didn't want dessert. read more

Everything was great - we had a 730p reservation but arrived early and got seated right away. We started with lobster bites and they were very good but just a touch salty. The sangria was AH-MAZ-ING! Best I've had in a long time. The linguine and meatballs were also good and the servers were very attentive. I just want everyone to know that Marvin and his partner Kennedy are carrying the restaurant lol they were great and they made us feel at ease and welcomed the whole time. We are visiting from Houston but if we come again, we'll be back. read more

The location is great and the service was fantastic! Head's up - the prices are a little high, but definitely worth it! If you like Italian, this is the place to go - it was wonderful for a date night while I was visiting Atlanta earlier this year. The Risotto Cheese Fritters were so flavorful and tasty - and almost split the Burrata Caprice but decided we wanted to fill ourselves up with the entrees. I ordered the Sweet Potato Gnocchi - in a gorgonzola cream sauce with sausage and veggies. My date had the Seared Salmon and he said it light and flavorful! read more

In Atlanta for a conference. Staying in mid-town at the Crowne Plazza ( review pending). Wanted Italian close to the hotel and selected the Atalian. We started with what we thought would be the shrimp fra diavolo, but they also brought the roasted egg plat bruschetta. We kept both, and they were very good. The shrimp was slightly spicy. The grilled toast it was served on was totally soaked with the sauce and in no way resembled toast. It would have been fine served without the bread. We enjoyed both. I had the fish special, but I don't recall the name of the fish. It reminded me of dover sole but not as delicate. It was served with artichoke hearts, capers, and roasted tomatos. It was a mild fish and just slightly overcooke but enjoyable. My wife had the ossco buco, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I took a taste, and it reminded me of pot roast. The gravey it was in was very tasty. For desert, we shared the apple cobbler. It was different. Reminded me of bread pudding and was covered in pecans. I enjoyed it more than my wife. The service was ok. The bar is great. The venue decor is confused. The noise grew louder as the occupancy increased. It was quite at 7:15, but noisy an hour later. The prices are reasonable. Overall, we enjoyed dinner and the experience. read more

Yusuf was our server and he was fantastic. Very attentive and kind. We ordered a bottle of wine, got the risotto cheese appetizer, and split the chicken pesto and shrimp scampi pasta dishes. The appetizer had great flavor- if you're more than a pair, I'd recommend getting more than one- there were 2 pieces. The pesto pasta had great flavor, as did the scampi (more Alfredo-ish to me) but the pesto was the winner of the two in my opinion. We were also given bread, but the pasta was the real winner. It's an upstairs spot, but they did have an elevator. Smallish area, with a classy vibe. I'd definitely go back for more. read more

We went for my friends birthday a few weeks ago and everything was FANTASTIC. We had a larger party and Brooklyn and Marvin did such a great job taking care of us. They even took the time to remember all nine of our names! The food was super good we all got different pastas and there were absolutely no complaints on our end. They even took the time to slice up our cake and distribute a slice to each person. We will be back! read more

The menu is not huge, but that's ok. You won't find the name of the restaurant on a sign out front, but that's ok. (It's upstairs from the steak place CUTS.). The food is delicious, the atmosphere is family Italian cozy. And if you go, ask to be seated in Marvin's area. Marvin is reason enough to eat here! Friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, courteous, attentive...he is incredible! What fun-and next time Atlanta will ask for one of his tables. read more

Friday night, 7 pm and the dinning room is empty. Overall, the food was okay, not extraordinary. The steakhouse bolognese left a lot to be desired. It was bland, under seasoned, needed salt; it tasted like Italian hamburger helper. The lasagna was okay, the antipasto wasn't that exciting. Everything overall was rather underwhelming. The service was friendly, but slow. read more
