The first Buckhead Group restaurant located outside of Buckhead, this upscale Midtown (in the theater and arts district, near Piedmont Park) trattoria serves some of the best Italian food in town. The lunch and dinner menus are organized into small antipasti, perfect for tasting many different things; homemade pastas; and entrées. Its decor is traditional Italian--gold faux painted walls, display kitchen, white tablecloths, and meats, herbs, and garlic hang from a chandelier in the middle of the room. The outdoor seating area is a great option for warm nights.
