Best Italian Restaurants in Poncey-Highland

The pasta at Yeppa is excellent. I had a tagliatelle bolognese that was delicious and my wife had a lemon pasta that she also thought was very good. Our server was very friendly and professional. But the atmosphere is extremely frenetic. This is not a place to sit and linger over dinner and conversation. Between the packed tables and the loud music, it was tough to hear each other or our server. And this was on a Monday night. I can't imagine what it is like on a Friday or Saturday. We would probably go back again for lunch on a nice day and sit outside.

My favorite place to dine. Friendly staff and great food.

Once again, we found ourselves returning to our beloved Italian sanctuary, Amore e Amore, nestled in the vibrant Inman Park neighborhood of Atlanta. This charming spot has become our go-to place for hosting friends and family, especially those visiting from out of town, and it never fails to impress. From the moment you step inside, the lively circus themed ambiance sets a cheerful, upbeat tone that’s both family friendly and perfect for a romantic date night. The atmosphere is vibrant, yet cozy a perfect backdrop for savoring authentic Italian cuisine. Our evening started with celebratory glasses of champagne alongside delicious appetizers: a classic Caprese salad, fragrant prosciutto with sweet melon, and some specially crafted sausages. The table was also adorned with Parmesan cheese and olives, setting the stage for a memorable meal. For the main course, I couldn’t resist my perennial favorite the Gnocchi, which I always find perfectly tender and flavorful. We also shared a rich, melt in your mouth Lamb Osso Buco that was truly to die for. The flavors and presentation were impeccable, showcasing the skill and passion behind the kitchen. Dessert was a highlight of the night: creamy gelato, crispy cannoli, and if you've never tried Panna Cotta here, you’re missing out it’s divine, silky, and the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. What truly makes Amore e Amore special isn’t just the food it’s the entire experience. The staff is spectacular, attentive without being intrusive, and adds to the warm, welcoming vibe. One of our friends, new to the restaurant, was so impressed that he declared he’d be bringing his girlfriend here for their next date night before the appetizers were even finished!

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food, and the best service! Highly recommend!

Love it! Can't wait to go back, great atmosphere!
