I’ve had some incredible Italian meals in Atlanta, and if you’re anything like me, you know there’s something special about a plate of pasta made just right. Whether I’m in the mood for a rustic bowl of gnocchi, wood-fired pizza, or a glass of red with house-made tiramisu, I’ve always found a spot in Atlanta that hits the mark. You’ll find everything from cozy, candlelit trattorias to modern Italian kitchens with bold flavors—and I think you’ll love how this city brings a Southern twist to classic Italian comfort. If you're ready to carb-load in the best way, Atlanta has you covered.
