"An Inman Park neighborhood hangout and a frontrunner for best pasta and cocktails in the city, BoccaLupo is where you can bob your head to De La Soul B-sides while eating squid ink spaghetti with shrimp and sipping a rum drink from a broken baby figurine head. BoccaLupo’s menu changes constantly, but the $125 tasting menu is our go-to, combining Southern roots with creative touches like tortellini in umami broth or fried chicken parm with collards." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"With 2025 James Beard semifinalist chef Bruce Logue at the helm of Michelin-recommended BoccaLupo, guests are always in good hands. At this laid-back Italian restaurant, seafood appears on plates of antipasti and house-made pasta, reminding us that it’s so much more than a basket of fried shrimp. With an eye on seasonal ingredients — both produce and seafood, menu staples like the ceviche, crudo, sorpresine, and black spaghetti are regularly refreshed." - Molly Harris
"BoccaLupo quickly became both a neighborhood favorite and a destination restaurant when it opened in 2013 on Edgewood Avenue. Order any of the fresh pasta dishes on the menu (the black spaghetti and the 20-yolk tagliatelle are now Atlanta classics.) Make sure to check out the tight wine list and cocktails here, too. Reservations required." - Eater Staff
"Open since 2013, Michelin-recommended Italian American restaurant BoccaLupo has become both a neighborhood favorite in Inman Park and one of Atlanta’s must-go destination restaurants. Order any of the fresh pasta dishes on the menu — the black spaghetti and the 20-yolk tagliatelle are classics. Make sure to check out the well-curated wine list and cocktails here, too. Chef Bruce Logue at BoccaLupo was named a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast this year. Reservations are encouraged, and outdoor seating is available. Best for: Pasta and cocktails." - Eater Staff
"Run up the score on cool points at BoccaLupo, an Italian-American restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere, chill music, and great food. It sits at the beginning of Inman Park, slightly hidden behind foliage. The restaurant’s sign, featuring a swirling noodle as part of the logo, doesn’t necessarily translate that this restaurant is in the top-tier of Atlanta dining, but the food is incredible. The hot calabrese sausage with red shrimp and scallions adds nuance to the black spaghetti. Then, impress your date with an order of the rum-based Broken Figurine, which is served in a literal figurine head. And just when you think the place couldn't get any cooler, the staff-curated playlist starts bumping OutKast B-sides and nu jazz." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
