Tortelli di Michelangelo Buonarroti
Ashleigh P.

We were starving and hadn't made reservations anywhere for dinner, so we rode our bikes down the beltline and just decided to try our luck somewhere in Inman Park. There happened to be two open seats at the bar when we arrived, so we snagged those. The bartender was slow to greet us, which I found surprising seeing as the bar is small and she didn't seem to be in the weeds. She also wasn't super friendly, but I guess that's kind of the norm these days unfortunately. We ordered a Caesar Salad to split - it was nothing special. Which I now find strange after dining at Fritti since they are sister restaurants and every time I have had the Caesar at Fritti it's been great. We ordered the Tortelli di Michelangelo Buonarroti and Lasagnette alla Bolognese for dinner. The bartender said that the Tortelli was a wonderful choice but when it arrived it was 10 sad little meat-filled pouches. The Lasagnette, however, was delectable. I would order this over and over again. Another semi-annoying thing was that it got to be uncomfortably hot over the course of our dinner. Being hot and eating hot food isn't the best. Anyway, if I had to come back, it wouldn't to be by choice.

Parm risotto

10/10 the risotto with aged balsamic was my absolute favorite. Great vibes, fantastic service and amazing cocktails!

Great drinks and the appetizers are really good. Great ambience. The food tastes very authentic. Always great service.

Loved this little Italian place in Inman park. Really cute inside standard upscale ambiance. The paper on the tables gives old school Italian but meets more upscale. The artichoke spaceship or whatever was like a paper plane and I loved it. The Negroni is also good. The tortilli was delicious with the sage butter and the chicken was absolutely delicious. That'sDessert the have their take on tiramisu which was great, their Nutella cocktail could benefit from a double strain. Our server was admittedly new and that was sweet. I will be back. That is for sure.

The "lovely day"
Tre B.

Had date night here a little while ago and we loved it! We had a reservation so we were seated right away. There was a pretty moderate sized crowd for a Monday night, so I'm glad we had the reservation. The food was very good, as well as the service (I wish I could remember her name because she was fantastic). The inside of the restaurant was very nice as well, very clean. We will definitely be back.

Pappardelle with duck ragu
D.F. C.

We had an absolutely delicious meal with really solid service. The meat salad was delicious. The Caesar salad was good, but not great. The Paccheri Alla Calabrese and the pappardelle with duck ragu were both phenomenal. Nudi was delicate and so yummy. Only complaint: our meal took us over 2 hours even though we had a small party. It was lovely and leisurely...but it also meant that valet parking was $10 (even with validation).

Linguine alle Vongole e Bottarga and Paccheri alla Calabrese

Sotto Sotto is a cozy Italian restaurant that is kind of hidden. It can be easy to miss as there is no flashy sign, but upon entering the restaurant, the vibes are quite immaculate. Most people dining look like they are dressed for a classy event (I was not). It does get quite busy, so I would recommend booking a reservation if possible. The service was quite good as well. My boyfriend and I were excited to try the food because of the ambiance of the restaurant. To start off, we got the Antipasto Misto which came with some good cured meat, cheese, olives, and mushrooms. All of this paired well with the complimentary bread and olive oil. However, we were really let down by our entrees, which took a while to come out. We ordered the Linguine alle Vongole e Bottarga and Paccheri alla Calabrese. My boyfriend said the Linguine alle Vongole e Bottarga had no taste. I tried it and it tasted very clam-y if anything, but I could not taste the olive oil or garlic that was supposedly part of the dish. My Paccheri alla Calabrese tasted like a pasta with tomato sauce and no other seasoning. Maybe I should have asked for more parmesan cheese, but I was not impressed. I really wanted to like this restaurant, but the food was average to me. I would consider coming here again in the far future.

$13 STROZZAPRETI ALLA SALSICCIA (half order): personally, didn't don't love this type of pasta. Came with a ragu meat sauce.

LOCATION: It's kind of hard to see the sign out front but it's right next door to FRITTI PIZZA on NORTH HIGHLAND AVENUE. PARKING: There is only street parking and it gets busy during peak times like dinner or weekends. AMBIANCE: Fancier, fine-dining place. White table cloths. I walked in with workout clothes since I was walking the beltline and still sat at a table which they had no issue with. Even though I was not dressed appropriately for this place! My apologies. SERVICE: I wish I could remember my servers name, she was AMAZING! Will come back and hope she serves me again. FOOD: Great food! I want to come back to try more options. Highly recommend for a fancier date night! One super cool thing they do is serve HALF PORTIONS of their pasta! So if you don't eat as much or want to try more options it's such a great option they have, absolutely love it! $13 STROZZAPRETI ALLA SALSICCIA (half order): Personally didn't love this type of pasta. I'd try something else next time. Came with a ragu meat sauce. $32 POLLETTO AL LIMONE: this chicken was AMAZING!!! I highly recommend. It's so juicy and tender on the inside and very crispy on the skin/outside. The garlic spinach served with it was TO DIE FOR! Loved everything on this dish. PANNA COTTA: it was OK, I'd pass on this one. Just plain with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

I'm literally unsure if I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my food or I was so excited to eat and I forgot to take a picture of my food. I came here for my birthday. I'm surprised it was my first visit because I love pasta and I love the Virginia Highlands area. But it was an amazing experience. I came out on Friday evening. I had a reservation for two. Was that at the bar had a glass of wine on your table to be ready. We said I cannot remember our servers name, but I wish I did because she was so knowledgeable of the menu and talk us through our whole ordering experience. I ordered a appetizer of muscles. My boyfriend ordered the smoked cheese to accompany our bread. I believe this pictured in my review. We both ended up ordering half portions of pasta. I ordered the Alfredo with shrimp and a mushroom pasta both were to die for. My boyfriend ordered a ravioli and he ordered lasagna . Naturally, I tasted his food and it was good as well. We sat in the interior part in the garden area the lighting the ambience is very pretty. The restaurant is intimate There's definitely a romantic vibe about the restaurant. The kitchen has a window; so it's sort of like an open kitchen concept. I'm surprised there isn't a waitlist going out for how good food was and how much I enjoy myself. I was also brought out pistachio gelato./ice cream for my dessert. It was a really good birthday dinner and I really enjoyed myself

Wine spilled by the waiter on our daughter's shirt. No apology. Crazy.
Janine R.

Wow! What a night. This restaurant has been consistently one of our favorites. We've been going to this restaurant since the 1990's. Almost always we have loved this restaurant. The service was off and the food was not up to par. It was as if there was no management in the restaurant this night. Normally, operations run smoothly. While pouring wine into a glass, the waiter knocked over another open bottle and a glass of water on our daughter's lap soaking her pants, sweater, and splashing her shirt. The hostess came over with a cloth moistened with club soda -ha! Only a dry cleaner could hope to salvage this. No apologies from the waiter and nothing ever mentioned again. Not one word. No one offered to pay for her dry cleaning bill. We soaked it up best we could and asked for new napkins to put under shirt. They didn't even offer to comp dessert. Has us reconsidering our choices. Just wow. Disappointing.

after the struggle of finding parking ... you will not regret coming here. My husband and I came as soon as they opened. Indoor seating is very dark so we chose to sit outside. It is roofed but they also have open windows. If it is cold they also have those tall heater lamps. We got 3 dishes to try different ones and share. It was all 10/10 but if I HAD to choose my favorite, it would be the Mushroom Risotto. OH MY GAWD WAS IT SOOOO DELICIOUS. Service was all super amazing. There's plenty of seating outside, inside, and at the bar. I would definitely be back for date night.

Fabulous dining experience! It is a truly beautiful restaurant with multiple different dining areas both indoor and outdoor. They accommodated our large group of 8 well and were wonderful with our 8 month old daughter (provided a high chair and bread for her to gnaw on throughout the dinner). Service was great and the food even better. We started with a charcuterie board and mussels. Both were great for sharing. For our meals we got a range of pastas including the lasagna, duck ragu, browned butter ravioli and mushroom tagliatelle. All were delicious but the deconstructed lasagna was special and a true wow first bite. I would not miss this dish. A fabulous experience that I would recommend to all!

Strozzapreti alla Salsiccia
Katie E.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was great. He absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere was warm and cozy (I love the jazz music they play in the background), and our server was very nice & knowledgeable. My only complaints are they're definitely on the pricy side and there's no free parking (and they don't validate). It's also very tight seating on the inside so I recommend sitting on their patio. But if you're craving Italian this is definitely the place to go. Side note... I was debating between two pasta dishes and my waiter told me they could do half and half of each. That sounded wonderful so I did it and then found out once the check came that it's an additional cost to do so. He never told me that when he recommended splitting the dish. So just keep that in mind. I was upset he didn't tell me beforehand because I wouldn't have done it.

Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

After lunch this place caught my eye as…read moretheir beer and alcohol selection on tap looked expansive (56 to be exact--44 beers and 14 wines), especially for a location in the food hall. Aside from what's on tap they carry a selection of bottled and canned beers and wines too. From their website their initial vision was to be a growler shop, and they've been able to do that here at this location since it opened in 2016. This means offering refillable containers of varying sizes making it possible to offer independent brewers that may not have their own bottling/canning capabilities. Their staff is very knowledgeable and willing to offer recommendations based on your preferences. I tried a few things: - New Realm Oaxaca Chocolate (Mexican chocolate stout) $8.99 for 16.9oz thermos: I loved this dark beer with a deep malty chocolate note that leaves a hint of chili spice on your tongue. - Meridian Hive Apple Pie Mead $7.99 for a 8oz pour. On the sweeter side for a mead though not overly so. I liked the honey flavor lingering in the background. - Atlanta Hard Cider Co Cranberry craft cider $6.95 this local seasonal cider hails from Marietta, I enjoyed the balance of sweet and tart, not a flavor you usually see for ciders and I appreciate the creativity! Seating for The Tap is plentiful in the area directly across from the counter, both high tables with stools and regular lower tables with chairs.

There was a sign right at the door that says something like, just walk right in. I would say this place is a fast casual restaurant. Not a lot of diners when we came on Friday night but had tons of take out orders. As we were seated, water and menu were dropped off at our table. I didn't get a chance to look at the full menu but felt rushed to order. Luckily, I had already looked at the menu before arriving. I ordered the spritz with a fruity twist (forgot what it was called but if you like aperol spritz, then this is for you) and my husband, a Paloma. We ordered a trio dip with charred baba ganoush, feta, and cauliflower that was served with some fresh pita bread. This was a great start to our meal and wanted more. I ordered the eggplant bowl with both lettuce and rice. Yall, the fries that were served must have been fried twice because it was crispy and saucy. Would definitely get this again, plus it was super filling. My husband ordered the falafel bowl with lettuce, and he did enjoy this as well. My only gripe is that the "bowl" is more of a platter? Food was certainly delicious and drinks were good. I like going to a restaurant that anticipates your needs, but this didn't do it for me. Our water was empty for awhile and we didn't get offered any until we were heading out. But nevertheless, this is a great spot for yummy food on the beltline.

Yum YUMMYY! I really…read moredon't know where to start but I absolutely love Buena Vida! I guess thats a great place :) location, Location, LOCATION! I admire that area of Buena Vida. All the entertainment is right there in front of you. You're just steps away from the belt line. If you like to people watch, this is for you! They have outdoor seating. A fire pit. Local spots that has live music and you can tend to hear from the patio. This is by far one of my favorite spots in the Ponce area. Let's start with the service. The service is absolutely amazing. I've never had an issue here. Got my food promptly. Always been helpful when conflicted on food options. The service here is 10 out of 10. Phemonenal customer Service, make you feel welcome. Feels like a small community of people, everyone I encoutered were super sweet from servers to bartenders. Treated me like family and I love establishments like that you can get my money ANY day! I'd like to highlight someone special: Alyssa is truly exceptional. She served as my bartender on my latest visit, and I can't say enough good things about her. I look forward to coming in whenever she's working. She's genuine, fun, and her positive energy is a gem. Turning to the cuisine, I have visited the establishment before, and the food is truly exceptional. Two standout appetizers are the Gambas al Ajillo and the garlic-forward, succulent shrimp; the accompanying bread is full of flavor and serves as an excellent introduction to the meal. The Patatas Bravas also deserve special mention--the garlic aioli, chef kiss. As a pescatarian, which is evident in many of my reviews, I cannot comment on the meat options. Nevertheless, there is a noteworthy selection of vegan and gluten-free dishes available. I sampled the Spanish grilled cheese with truffle and garlic aioli--being a fan of garlic, the generous use here was particularly appealing. This reinterpretation of a childhood favorite significantly elevated the dish. Another highlight was the scallops. Although the dish included corn (which I generally avoid), I found it delicious, nonetheless. The scallops were cooked to perfection and infused with rich flavors. The chef demonstrates considerable expertise in crafting these recipes, and I have no complaints regarding my dining experience. Now, a few of my favorite drinks--though everyone might not share the same tastes. When I visit a Spanish-style restaurant, I have my go-to options. One of my favorites is the passionfruit margarita; it's so delicious, it feels like you're on an island. Of course, my all-time favorite is the strawberry margarita--so good and flavorful. It has just the right balance of not too much lime, with a subtle hint of mint--who knew we needed that? Another top pick is the 'Dragon on Vacation.' I usually avoid spicy drinks, so I had the habanero removed, but it's still the perfect blend of dragon fruit flavor in a margarita--so good. I also love a good Paloma; I appreciate its little kick. Overall, I have no complaints about these drinks!

It's always a good time when we meet up with my friends cause the conversation and fellowship is always so sweet, however this time I'd say it was somewhat interrupted.

There was always someone yelling over another and we had to continuously ask someone to repeat themselves. They do half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays and that might've been the one thing I enjoyed. As for the food, it was also subpar. I ordered the CRISPY PIMENTON CHICKEN which was essentially a fried chicken with hot honey sauce and that was enjoyable. The caprese salad was good but my tomato's were a bit mushy. I also enjoyed a few of the potatoes brava as well but they weren't anything spectacular. My friends said the steak tasted burnt and needed less charring. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute as there is indoor and outdoor seating but honestly, I'm not that eager to go back.
