The 10 Hottest New Restaurants Around Atlanta, January 2025

"A third new restaurant opened at the Forth Hotel: Il Premio, which is an upscale Italian steakhouse and cocktail lounge. It comes on the heels of the hotel’s other openings — Elektra, a poolside Mediterranean restaurant, and Moonlight, a ‘70s-inspired rooftop cocktail lounge. Chef John Adamson (formerly American Cut and Marcel’s) has created a menu of Italian steakhouse staples, including fresh-made pasta like Bucatini All’Amatriciana with roasted lemon and Bottarga to Rigatoni All’Astice with lobster and lobster roe butter. Expect plenty of wines lined on the walls. Pastry chef Carleys Vazquez (formerly Juniper Café and Lazy Betty) oversees desserts." - Henna Bakshi

Il Premio feels like a bygone era, and that's a good thing - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Everything at Il Premio, an Italian steakhouse in Old Fourth Ward’s Forth Hotel, feels sultry and moody, from the low lighting to the bursts of flame in the open kitchen, perfectly framed by a massive arched window. The cocktail lounge, with its grand piano and printed velvet couches, feels like a vignette from a debonair era. But it all sets the tone for a night that’s both inviting and polished, making it a perfect spot to impress colleagues, celebrate with friends, or make a date night feel effortlessly special. You can go all out at Il Premio—this is the kind of place where ordering a oysters, steak, a pasta dish, and a bottle of wine (from a list that’s 86% Italian) isn’t just reasonable, it’s encouraged. With nine cuts of steak, including a perfectly marbled Japanese wagyu, the steak selection is extensive. The pasta list may be shorter, but each dish holds its own—the rigatoni all’astice is packed with buttery lobster and bright san marzano tomatoes. By the time you’re winding down over that last glass of wine, you’ll see why Il Premio is made for grown-up nights that feel just a little indulgent, whether you're making a connection, a toast, or a lasting impression. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Food Rundown Italian Donuts These complimentary bites are a light start to what could easily become a heavy meal. They’re sweet without being too filling and are tossed in a dusting of parmesan cheese. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Filet Mignon It’s the simple choice but it’s one of our favorite cuts of steak to get here. Trust the chef’s preference, and order it medium rare. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Bucatini All'amatriciana This pasta sits in velvety tomato sauce with just the right amount of cheese. The cured pork cheek adds a salty layer that makes this pasta a must-order. video credit: Nina Reeder Branzino The branzino has a nice char that doesn’t overpower the flavor of the flaky fish, and the olives bring salty-savory balance to the light, sweet meat of the fish. Broccolini Alla Brace The chargrilled broccolini comes with a drizzle of tangy orange chili sauce and crispy onion flakes. It’s decent, but nothing groundbreaking. Save room for the pasta and steak. Miyazaki Wagyu The 6-oz. wagyu will run you $150, but the marbling is incredible. This is a good standard wagyu order, and you can punch things up if you get the Olive Wagyu, which comes from cows that are almost exclusively fed—you guessed it—olives. Rigatoni All’astice Big chunks of lobster soak in a creamy lobster roe sauce, while san marzano tomatoes add brightness to the dish. Just a heads-up: this is very al dente. video credit: Nina Reeder Il Premio Martini This martini is top-notch. Made with both gin and vodka, it’s olive oil fat-washed for an extra velvety finish and has just a hint of sweetness. It also comes with a sidecar of extra liquor on ice, and a dropper is used tableside to add a lemon and olive oil blend for the perfect finishing touch. Wine We did the math—86.3% of the wine here comes from Italy, including the Piedmont region, Sicily, Tuscany, and Puglia—and we recommend going by the glass to get a sampling of the offerings. You won't go wrong with anything you choose." - Jacinta Howard

The ATL Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Atlanta

"Italian steakhouse Il Premio rounds out the bars and restaurants that have opened in the new Forth Hotel in Old Fourth Ward. It's sleek and spacious enough for corporate dinners but still checks all the romance boxes for a date night—an intimate bar sectioned off by velvet curtains, candles on white tablecloths, and waiters gliding around with Italian wine bottles like they’re auditioning for a role in Eat, Pray, Love. But you’re here because the steak and pasta are very good. The bucatini all'amatriciana comes in creamy, tangy tomato sauce, and cured pork cheek adds salty depth to the dish. The filet mignon, served medium-rare, is so soft your knife glides right through. It’s perfect for sealing deals—like landing that elusive client who’s always "in a meeting," or ensuring your date doesn’t swipe left in real life. " - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at Il Premio — and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely special. The ambiance is elegant and warm, the service was thoughtful and kind, and every dish was a work of art. The staff made us feel welcomed and celebrated, and the food… absolutely exquisite. The lighting, the interior, the overall atmosphere — everything came together so beautifully. It felt like the restaurant itself was part of our celebration. Thank you for making our special day feel magical. We’ll definitely be back!

The food was absolutely stunning. Like stunning. And did I mention, stunning? Because it was. That bread? Sourdough … GAS. And at 7pm (not sure what days but it was a Thursday for me) an amazing pianist named Kenny Banks performs. Another stunning moment. And a huge shoutout to the staff, McKenzie, Michael, Shane, and j know the other person, his name starts with a J that works at the bar, all absolutely dope people and so fun.

Every part of our meal was epic! The staff made me feel so special for my birthday! The wagyu tartare, crab pasta, tiramisu and bombolini were truly incredible! Andy was an absolutely amazing waiter and went above and beyond to make us feel attended to and happy. The environment was so beautiful and classy. I cannot wait to come here again. Highly recommend!!!!

I’m in town on business and staying at the Forth Hotel. After a travel day the convenience of having such a nice restaurant in the lobby of the hotel was delightful. We walked in and no one was sitting at the bar. We asked the hostess what she thought, if we should go dining room or bar and she said go sit with Sid the bartender he’s great. We are bar people so the recommendation was fitting and Sid was amazing. He took very good care of us helped us make decisions between all of the delicious options we wanted to try and had a really enjoyable evening. It is pricey, but it’s quality and worth it in my opinion. I would dine again.

I wish I remembered our waiter’s name but overall? Excellent place for a date night or in our case coworkers night out! Had a wonderful time being that the drinks were strong, food was amazing, and the atmosphere was stunning! Our waiter was attentive, professional and extremely knowledgeable on the menu! Worth a visit or 10!

I’ve dined at il Premio twice now and my honest impression is that the vibes are incredible, the service is impeccable, but the food is good…but overpriced. I’ve dined both prix fixe and from their daily menu now and tried a wide assortment of dishes. I think this is an excellent date night spot or special occasion joint, but it’s not somewhere I would seek to regularly come. Most recently, the stand outs for me were Martini service (which is served with a little side car refill) and the bucatini. I also ordered the fish but it was sadly slightly over cooked and a bit dry but beautifully plated with incredible flavors. I’m naturally drawn to the energy of the spot but it will never be the best Italian or steak I’ve tried in or around the city. I do recommend trying it though!

IL Premio offers a delightful culinary journey, particularly if you're a fan of seafood. While our visit focused solely on their marine offerings, the extensive menu hints at a diverse selection worth exploring on future visits. The seafood dishes we tried were truly excellent, showcasing fresh ingredients and skillful preparation. The cocktail situation, however, was a bit of a letdown. We had perused IL Premio's online cocktail menu beforehand and arrived with high expectations for a creative and varied drink selection. Unfortunately, the in-restaurant menu was notably more limited. We were informed that the online menu hadn't been updated, which was disappointing as it meant several enticing options we'd been looking forward to weren't available. While the cocktails we did try were good, they didn't quite reach the "best ever" status, and the discrepancy with the online menu was a minor frustration. Parking Tips Parking is generally abundant in the vicinity of IL Premio, but a crucial tip to remember is to park in the basement lot or utilize the valet service. Be aware that the parking lot directly across from the building will not be validated, so plan accordingly to avoid unexpected fees. Overall, IL Premio is definitely worth a visit for its delicious food, especially the seafood. If you're particular about your cocktails, it might be best to manage your expectations or inquire about their current drink offerings when making a reservation.

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing meal at the new Il Premio. From the hostess to Lola our waitress everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The food was amazing, first the chef gift was 2 fried cheese puffs, the bread and butter was amazing. The wine list was second to none. For the main course we each had a filet, sides we had truffle mac and potatoes with olive oil. You can watch them cooking the steaks from the open kitchen. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the sides were amazing and they even had a salt tray to pick out your favorite salt. The restaurant is beautiful, the vibe is perfect and the energy is a balance of elegant and steakhouse buzz. We can’t say enough good things about it! Come enjoy !

Friday at 6pm Took clients here for dinner . As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by the gracious hosts and seated immediately. Behind the curtain is a well decorated gorgeous bar filled with plush chairs , paintings perfect for a pre or post dinner drink and even for a light meal ( less casual feel than the main dining room ). We got seated in a corner booth in the main dining room, which was perfect and served by a knowledgeable and attentive staff who guided us in the ordering process ( how big are the dishes , the spacing of the course). We had the perfect amount of food as result , started with some tuna and yellowtail crudo, delicious steak tartare ( highly recommended) for antipasto , agnilotti ( my favorite ), bucatinni pastas, followed by steak and fish as our main. The drink / cocktail selection was a perfect complement to the dishes from the martini , to the rose bubbles and the bottle of Sangiovese ( red wine ) . We didn't have room for dessert which gives me an excuse to try them out on my next visit. I really enjoyed the feel , vibe of the restaurant and appreciate the modern decor and the concept ( Italian courses ) . A must try and from what I hear , it's a new addition to the restaurant scene in Atlanta.

Enjoyed dinner at Il premio. Had a dinner for 4 on a Saturday evening. The bar was a good size and busy when we arrived. We were seated promptly when our table was complete. They require your entire table to order all courses before they'll begin serving so we probably waited longer than anticipated to eat but all good. We enjoyed the burrata and octopus to start. Both were good, safe choices. We loved the brown butter and sage pasta. Grouper was good as well as steak. Nothing stood out but everything was solid. Cute spot with a rooftop bar moonlight. Great for a business meal or first date. The som was great. Our table enjoyed the wine selections.

I came on a Sunday evening for dinner. My friend started at the bar until I arrived. I joined her there and then went to check with the hostess for our table for 2. We were taken to the main dining room to a very awkwardly situated table between the kitchen, the computer where waiters put in orders and a large party of 12 or so. Our table was clearly just crammed there and was not a comfortable location so we were granted our request to move. Our new table was much more suitable and our new waiter Darryl was awesome. He explained the menu well and gave great suggestions. We were offered a complimentary amuse Bouche that quite honestly tasted like packaged cheese and crackers. We started with the sea bass crudo. It was very small and my friend liked it more than I did. I had the Mero for my main course. It was not hot, there was only one piece of whole butternut squash and the rest was a puréed for some reason. Then it was topped with a thick sauces which was also cold and rather flavorful less but the fish and mushrooms were good. The Mac and cheese was very good and my friend enjoyed her steak. She had her steak and Mac sent to the kitchen to be boxed up and they never brought it back. It was my friend's birthday so they gave a complimentary chocolate cake and digestif. That was a nice touch. Over all service was was great food was not. They do have reasonably priced and higher end items but overall missed the mark for me.

Made a reservation for our LT Holiday party for dinner along with a stay at the Forth Hotel. The dinner started with a requested champagne cheers, great cocktails and our first course (which was the best) the steak tartare was out of this world great. Unfortunately as the restaurant got crowded the service got really slow. The dinner ended up taking nearly 4 hours. I would return for the food and cocktails, but not with a larger group. Happy to have tried one of the newest Atlanta staples!

The service and the ambiance were amazing. The food was pretty good as well although the portion size for the lobster pasta could have been a little bigger in size. Everything was great.

Omg. This is my new favorite hidden gem! The ambiance was dark and moody, yet the staff was attentive, and friendly! Their steak was so incredibly delicious, my goodness! Cooked to perfectionnn! Please give this place a try this year, you won't regret it.

This restaurant is incredible! The customer service is impeccable. Our waiter, Shane, was extremely knowledgeable, comical, attentive, and engaging. He made all the best recommendations. The hostess was equally pleasant, taking pictures for us... these two were reflective of the whole vibe of the restaurant... service with pleasure. The ambiance is seductive, entrancing, romantic. The furniture boasts of deep colors, unique patterns, and velvety fabrics... being there heightens the urge for stimulating conversations and interpersonal connections. And the food! Oh my... everything was simply delectable. If I lived in ATL, this would certainly be a staple.

Just opened 3 weeks ago and yet they have ZERO flaws. Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and they gave us exactly what we wanted in a steakhouse experience. Shane was our server and he knew the menu inside and out. He made our night an experience, not just a dinner. The restaurant is also beautifully moody. I love the open kitchen concept. For starters, their complimentary bread is nothing extraordinary but I wouldn't fill up on that. The burrata was smooth and velvety - the accoutrements that come with it perfectly balance out the lusciousness of the cheese. The bread it comes with is exceptionally crispy and pairs well. The Miyazaki Wagyu was worth every penny. It was meat butter. All the tenderness of a filet but with the flavor of a ribeye. The bistecca was huge and seasoned well. The dry age gave it more flavor than funk which I appreciated. Charred on the outside but delicately soft on the inside. Somehow the onions are a sleeper hit - super soft yet had a depth of concentrated onion flavor. The king crab pasta was a pass for us only hecause uni is not currently in season and you could tell. They were very receptive to feedback though and it is highly subjective so I didn't dock anything for that. The ragu pasta was intensely meat forward but in a good way. It gave the sauce body. Pasta was perfectly al dente. The parate is a mix between mashed potatoes with the addition of oil, but had the structural integrity of a baked potato. I will be trying to recreate this at home for sure as it's a perfect potato side. It was rich without losing the taste of the potato itself. The mushroom polenta was creamy and full of umami thanks to the mushroom ragu. Their drinks are expertly crafted - the espresso martini had a bright citrus note and they do freshly brew the coffee for it. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend for special events, celebrations, or if you just really want an out of the world steak.

Great place for a celebration dinner. Loved the vibe here and the service was great. We came in on a Monday night with a group of 6. We made a reservation beforehand which I do recommend. It got crowded even on a Monday. My favorites were the rigatoni and burrata. The tiramisu was also super unique.

This restaurant is inside of Forth Hotel and is less than a year old. I sat in the lounge because I didn't have a reservation. They have a nice whiskey selection. I was able to try Sir Davis for the first time. The bartender provided me with complementary bread to try since it was my first visit. The flavor was good but I had to refrain from breaking my diet. I look forward to coming back and trying more items.

Great ambiance. Shame on every guest in this establishment wearing a hoodie. This place is romantic - good music and good service. I didn't have anything bad on the menu - I loved the Waygu tartare and beef chef pasta. Steak is good and broccolini is a MUST. Italian wine is great. My biggest recommendation is to SHARE. Order family style and share everything. Be prepared to spend $300 plus for a couple. Thanks Ty for a great night. We will be back. Tiramisu and gelato is awesome!

Great food. Good service, beautiful ambiance. I wish this place was in Buckhead or midtown because the traffic in and around Ponce is terrible. We went for friend's birthday party and had a nice time. A bit quiet but every table was full. Lobster rigatoni was the best. Octopus, burrata, chocolate budino all very nice.

What a beautiful restaurant and bar with excellent service, memorable food and drink. The house's special martini- olive oil-infused gin and vodka served well garnished with a sidecar- is savory, delicious, and unique. We were celebrating our 5th anniversary (thanks for the happy anniversary complimentary chocolate dessert). We shared Tagliolini, Filet, Eggplant, and Mushrooms--all perfectly prepared and presented. The experience could not have been better.

The ambiance is so nice, very romantic. We were debating on ordering pasta or steak and went with steak. It was ok, wish we had ordered the pasta instead. Steak was ok, perfectly cooked just lacked some flavor in my opinion. The side potatoes weren't my favorite but the steak tartar was delicious. If we go back will definitely order pasta to try.

Unbelievable new restaurant addition to Old Fourth Ward. The design and atmosphere let's the imagination run wild with the Posh and luxury design aesthetic. 5 star service with multiple staff and management checking to make sure everything is perfect. Wine selection is phenomenal, my favorite starter was the grilled/seared octopus. Beef is the star here so it's hard to choose, maybe the Kansas City Strip.

Service is great and decoration is beautiful. I tried the Branzino and it was ok, not much flavor at all. The tiramisu was fantastic. This place is beautiful, but so far I am not impressed with the food. The prices are high and the fish taste definitely disappointing.

They charged a service charge of over $300 even though with 9 people we each met the $150 per person minimum. $1800 for a table of 9. Food mediocre. Eric was a Great server though.

Food is highly overrated and overpriced overpriced. Server ordered for us and ordered items we did not want. They charge extra for large groups;( there is a food and beverage price for large groups with a contract sent via email; which we never got) and the minimum price has not been posted.

When I say I'm in love, I mean it. I met a girlfriend here for dinner when I came to Atlanta in October and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. The service was superb! We sat at the bar for drinks while we waited for our table. We arrived early and didn't want to stand to wait. The mixologists were very friendly and informative. The drinks were delicious. The music was amazing. The ambiance was sexy and moody. When we were seated at our table, I wasn't surprised that our sever was extremely warm and friendly. She explained everything to us and we made our selections. I had the branzino, broccoli and the potatoes. THE POTATOES!!! I have no idea how they're prepared but they're the best thing I've ever tasted at any restaurant and I've dined all around the planet. I'm not even exaggerating. I had a dream that I flew to Atlanta just for the potatoes and flew back the same day, lol. Go! Asap!!
