Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in East Atlanta

We love to visit 246 on special occasions. Last year we celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time. Just yesterday, we celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday. 246 did not disappoint! We had a lovely evening! The staff was attentive and pleasant! The food was delicious! I wish the tables were a bit larger and that there was more light in the restrooms, but everything else was fabulous!

Hands down, one of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Were frequenters here and love the ambiance, food and service. You can’t say all that for many places, so Ziba’s is truly a gem.

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!

Found the place easily right off the Main Street. Parking is validated for 1hr. Staffing was nice , very knowledgeable about food items. Drinks are strong. Food isn’t over seasoned, tastes really good.
