Bocado

"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

"Bocado closes March 27 after 12 years on Howell Mill Road, but owner Brian Lewis plans to relocate the popular restaurant known for its burger." - Beth McKibben

"The full Bocado menu is available for takeout. Call to order or order online." - Eater Staff
