Great Italian Restaurants In Atlanta

"This Decatur restaurant makes an easy nominee to the city’s Eggplant Parm Hall of Fame. And, actually, we could say the same about their spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce. Bring a date, the family, or anyone willing to support a divide-and-conquer strategy of No. 246's menu, because this is one of the rare places where everything is good. After you’ve decided on a wood-fired pizza, a plate of cheesy garlic bread will pass by, and you’ll wonder if it’s weird to do both. It’s not. Plan to book a reservation at least a week out. And two weeks out for groups of five or more. In the warmer months, diners spread out onto the patio, so it's slightly easier to get a reservation." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
