"Sprawling Atlanta doesn’t have many intimate dining spaces, but Bocado is as intimate as it gets with only three inside tables and bar seating. The Sandy Springs Italian restaurant is so tiny you can feel the warmth of the wood-fired pizza oven from your corner seat. But there’s also a patio, where they put out heaters and blankets on chilly days. The sourdough pies are the stars here: light, airy, perfectly chewy, and topped with delicious white or red sauces. So start with a pizza and some wine before digging into a crispy-skinned snapper with thick creamy grits." - nina reeder
