Fresh baked focaccia, thin-cut manchego, peppery arugula, delicious sauces, a hint of guava paste, and that perfect tomato tanginess... this sandwich was an instant I'm-coming-back-for-this moment And the fact that it comes with a handful of chips instead of fries? Exactly how I like my sandwiches served This cute authentic café/store in Halcyon is serving some seriously flavorful paninis that make the perfect lunch spot. Pair them with one of their flavored sodas, grab a seat outdoors, and you've got yourself the sweetest little lunch date Already planning my next visit for the pastas and desserts because they looked too good to skip. If you haven't tried this hidden gem at Halcyon yet... you're definitely missing out read more

Great Italian place, with a market to boot! The sandwiches are expensive, but they're also huge. Can't say enough good things about the owner and his family. Quaint, while not too small. You'll see. read more

Found the best sandwich of my life while traveling for work. Here in the little town of Alpharetta GA (outside of Atlanta) is a small Italian grocery store that is also offering a menu of about 20 options that will blow your damn socks off. The women working there are as authentic as they come, and they deliver simple but absolutely beautiful focaccia sandwiches. I tried two during my recent stay: The Amore Mio - Burrata cheese, prosciutto, salami, spanish chorizo, mortadella, artisanal pesto sauce, sundried tomato & arugula The Roma - Brie cheese, pepper jam, prosciutto, soppressata, salame calabrese, fresh tomato & arugula Each of these were served on toasted focaccia with your choice of flavored olive oils. Truly magnificent. They were a bit pricy ($15-$20 per sandwich), but they don't skimp on the high quality ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Great options here, their tres leches cake is my absolute favorite. For the sandwiches and for the price I kinda expect more filling in them but they are of quality. It's a great option for a quick bite read more

The food and service here is excellent. Small business. Best panini is Amore Mio - my teen begs to split it. Pastas are always very good! Havent tried charcuterie but presentation is beautiful. read more

I really wanted to enjoy this spot for the sandwiches they have and because I heard the owners were Latino and I wanted to support my own people. However, on both occassions I've gone, I've been completely ignored. I never complain, but being a woman who frequents businesses alone often, I don't understand why I only run into this treatment when I'm out alone. I am a courteous, well mannered person and I take pride in that. I was simply stared at after saying hello, meanwhile the other 4 men that walked in after me were immediately acknowledged. I also find that there was zero patience for explaining to me how ordering works. Just treated me like some dumb girl...it just felt like the whole interaction, they were annoyed with my social anxiety. It's a $20 sandwich. I wanted to make sure I ordered correctly. And when I'm checking out, the cashier is making...quite prejudiced comments about other communities. I wouldn't have bought anything if he had said those things before I paid. It affirmed every uncomfortable feeling I had throughout the experience. I hate to be the only person that seems to have an issue with a place everyone loves, but I guess I'll be the bearer of bad news. You have biases that clearly affect the way you do business and how you treat certain customers. All customers deserve dignity and respect. Please do better. read more

Best Italian sandwich I have ever had! I order on uber eats all the time and I'm lucky I got the chance to try it! Amazing!! Definitely recommend!! read more

My family and I love coming here for delicious fresh food. The sandwiches remind me of the top notch hole in the wall Italian delis in New York. Tonight I tried their weekly pasta, the vodka sauce was deliciously cheesy and salty. The pasta was cooked a perfect al dente. My wife loved her fresh focaccia sandwich with delicious creamy burrata, greens, oils and meats. The owner is proud and provides great service. The patio is a great hang and a nice walk around the halcyon makes a nice night. read more

So delicious!! Authentic paninis that do not disappoint. Went for an impromptu lunch with my son and we were both completely impressed with the food & service. read more

I had the daily pasta dish. Delicious. I don't think they have the setup proved an option to add a protein. Wish they did.

Wow!!! "Little Shop" more like Little Treasure!!! This European market is like a little piece of Italy! So different from anything in the area. We stepped in and immediately loved the decor and feel! Fresh Basil growing in the front... Greenery hanging from the ceiling... Enough variety of goods to be interesting but not so much as to overwhelm! And then you walk back to the little eatery... Coffee Paninis Carpaccio Salads Pastries Salumi Boards There are many things made fresh and a few in the freezer to grab and go! I highly recommend trying something and then sit and enjoy it on their little patio! We tried the Manzo Carpaccio and it was DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh, the basil sauce was SO yummy! We definitely will be back so we can try the others. read more

I got the salmon panini with a lemon olive oil and it was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten. It works so well together and would be perfect as a brunch sandwich or for dinner. I always get a lox and cream cheese bagel at joints and this was 100 times better! My boyfriend got fettuccine Alfredo with pesto added and I tried a few bites.. it was also great. It's a adorable shop with lots of Italian goods plus has indoor and outside eating. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

If you haven't been here you are missing out. The pasta is made fresh, and paninis are the best I have ever had .

One of few Italian stores I've seen in Georgia As a store, it's small but has some great offerings from oils, olives, pasta, and snacks We picked up a bottle of truffle oil for $18 & a jar of Calabrian peppers whole for ~$14 The cashier talked us into checking out the cafe in back which has a ton more stuff from paninis, cheese boards, pastries and coffee. The meats/cheeses for the boards & sandwiches looked delicious. Prices in halcyon are high imo but seems normal for the area. $15 for a panini Boards were $30+ We ordered a cannoli but you can't just get one and fyi toppings are extra. Prices not posted but an espresso + 2 cannolis with toppings came out to ~$11 The cannolis are great! Tiny but mighty.. worth the price. Espresso is not freshly ground but is made from a pod and was more bitter than anticipated. Probably would not do that one again The pastries looked delicious, as well. Plenty of parking in halcyon to get here & staff were all super helpful Worth a trip read more

Such a fun little Italian grocer and eatery. I haven't eaten here yet but every time I go in, it smells great. I love looking through the shelves. Last time I was there I got a bag of assorted frozen empanadas and a cappuccino. The family that owns and runs it are so friendly and very helpful. Love just popping in to say hi every time I'm at Halcyon. read more

Absolutely one of my fav places to go!! The paninis are wonderful. The salmon carpaccio is perfect to "nosh" on while enjoying music on the green. Their homemade tiramisu is wonderful as well. It's a delightful family run place. Thank you for bringing a little Italy to our world. **also they have the best almond croissants around! read more

Quaint Italian eatery and grocery. The Staff couldn't have been sweeter and followed all of their recommendations for the paninis to order down to the type of olive oil. The food was really delicious and the decor in the restaurant and even the bathroom was very warm and inviting. It made my wife and I really want to go back to Italy!! read more

Really enjoyed lunch here and shopping for pasta sauces, sodas, and other treats to take home. The food was delicious and the people lovely

The food is good, but everything is simply overpriced. I get it, spiffy Italian spot in Georgia USA, higher prices are to be expected. But $9 for an airy gelato, and nearly $20 for a panino? My Italian friends would laugh in my face. read more

Their paninis are fantastic! I got the Padua (in picture) and the Adriatico panini. I loved that we got the choice of which olive oil goes on the sandwich. I got the garlic olive oil and my wife got the lemon one. Their cappuccino was delicious and tasted just like the cappuccinos we had in Italy! We also enjoyed their tiramisu, which was just big enough for us to share. Definitely coming back and trying more good stuff there! Also, Pia was very nice and helped us while we were there. read more

Il Bottegone is translated as "little shop" according to their website, but is also the name of the historical site of the Italian Communist Party, located in Via delle Botteghe Oscure (see references below). I'm not sure if the latter relates to this Italian market and sandwich shop located in Alpharetta, Georgia, but read on comrade. The place has good sandwiches - paninis, croissants - all expertly crafted with specialty olive oils. Excellent quality focaccia and baked goods. First class imported meats and cheeses. The ambiance is mostly Italian, but with a little of this and a little of that. There is an emphasis on Colavita products in the market area. Olive oils. Tomato sauce. Italian pastas and spreads. Where's the Mutti? Some Italian soft drinks along with your typical American drinks like Smart Water and Cokes. If you're eating in most of the tables are super small. Three chairs at the small tops, but just barely enough room on the tables for the sandwich serving boards that are used as "plates". Oddly, in back of the check out counter you'll also find Off bug spray along with toothpaste, shampoo and Dove soap. Not sure what that's about, but... Overall, Il Bottegone is a decent lunch spot at Halcyon. Priqtnogo appetita, tovariw! https://educalingo.com/en/dic-it/bottegone https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/italian-communist-party-citadel-gets-a-revolutionary-makeover-into-a-luxury-hotel-nntckhwcj read more

Not usually one for reviews, but compelled to write one for this gem of a place! We stumbled upon this place and it was an amazingly happy accident! Firstly, for anyone surprised by the sticker price, yes, it is pricier than one would expect, but the warm service and the diligent care the shop owners put into prepping your meal does and will more than make up for the price. Especially if one factors in the intangible factor of 'the experience' into the price. Spoiled for choices, I asked the lovely folks there for their favorite paninis, and they both suggested the Roma. Despite not being a huge fan of Salami, I asked them to prep it exactly as they would for themselves. And I am so glad I did because it was hands down one of the best paninis I've ever had! They put so much care into prepping your meal. That level of quality does take time. For a lazy Saturday afternoon, when you want to enjoy amazing food, wonderful service, and be in the company of folks who truly enjoy what they do, I can't recommend this place enough. Will be back! read more
