"Before you even pick up a menu you’ll know you've hit the jackpot when you step into this airy, modern masterpiece brought to life by Atlanta’s own ai3. Exposed brick, polished concrete and lofty ceilings draw you in but this is just the beginning. While we wouldn’t call this a burger joint, we’d argue (along with the rest of Atlanta) that Bocado offers one of the best burgers in town. It’s simple yet substantial and it’s absolutely delicious. And don’t forget to wash it down with a thoughtfully crafted seasonal cocktail - shaken & citrusy or stirred & boozey? The choice is yours!" - Resource Branding
"Once upon a time in Atlanta, Bocado was known for burgers. But now, after a move to Sandy Springs, they’re firmly in the Neapolitan pizza game—and we're smitten. The airy sourdough pies are topped with white or red sauces that taste like the chef has been stewing on these recipes for a minute. And there’s a friendly communal energy in the dining room, which is so tiny you can feel the warmth of the wood-fired oven from your bar seat. Don’t be surprised when the folks next to you order wine by the bottle and share a glass with all of their neighbors." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford
"After closing in West Midtown and then Alpharetta, Bocado is back in business, this time with a location in Sandy Springs. Expect their usual pasta dishes and wood-fired pizzas." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"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
"Fans of Bocado have had to chase the beloved restaurant around town like a game of Pokémon Go. After closing in West Midtown, then in Alpharetta, Bocado has now popped up in a quiet corner of a Paces Ferry shopping center with a reinvention of sorts. The small space is void of those highfalutin big city airs with a quiet patio and a charmingly cramped bar top that exudes “get to know your neighborhood” energy. And their famous burger is gone. Now an Italian menu takes center stage with their Neapolitan pizzas being the highlight. The pies are light, airy, and topped with delicious white or red sauces that taste like the chef has been stewing on these recipes for a minute. " - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
