Buon Fornello Café & Bottega

20 Restaurants Serving Atlanta’s Best Pasta

"Some call this the best kept Italian food secret in Sandy Springs. Sorry, not sorry for letting the cat out of the bag on this one. Located in a retail complex near the King and Queen buildings, Buon Fornello is a bare bones operation offering just 16 seats inside built around big, bold Italian flavors and fresh-made pastas. Run by Sicilian-born chef Giacomo Lazzano, expect plates of ravioli stuffed with butternut squash or lobster, squares of meaty lasagna loaded with beef bolognese, and bowls of linguine and meatballs here. Try the kitchen sink — a Sicilian pasta dish packed with meatballs, salami, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese tossed in beef bolognese. Warm up on cold days with minestrone or pasta fagioli soup, and don’t skip the cannolis for dessert." - Eater Staff
