This was my second visit to Pasta da Pulcinella, and it was just as amazing as the first. The service is outstanding, and the dining room inside the beautiful two‑story house creates such a great atmosphere. The pasta and ravioli are truly the best. My wife and I will definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Atlanta.

I had never heard of South City Kitchen and booked a reservation because I wanted some southern cooked food. They did not disappoint,. The food was great! atmosphere was clean and comfortable, server did a great job! Trued a few of the suggested items from the menu and they were really good. Plan to make this a monthly stop when I go through town! Pimento cheese app, Fired Chicken dinner and banana pudding dessert were amazing!
