This is a legit Italian restaurant! Authentic food cooked and served by Italians. I was in town only for 2 nights and I was gonna go to this place the first night and then pick something else on the second night for the sake of diversity. I enjoyed my food so much that I ended up coming back to this restaurant on the second night too. Both Salvatore and Angelo were amazing. It was great to speak Italian to them. They are actually Italians born in Italy. Lots of people claim to be Italians when they don't even speak the language, let alone lived in Italy, so it was nice to have such an authentic experience. The food is worth making a detour. Fresh ingredients, made with love, great service... what more can one ask for? read more

Will not even try to go here again. My son called a week or so ahead and they said we "didn't need a reservation " that we would be fine at 5pm On a Saturday. He didn't feel good about this so he sent an email asking for a table for 8 and they replied no problem! We get there after a special event and we no longer live in the area so we were excited to revisit.... Got there and was told no tables. Wait would be 1.5 hours so we left. Shame because we used to be loyal customers and planned way ahead. Don't even care how the food is anymore! read more

Absolutely fantastic Italian food, service, and ambiance. The best Italian restaurant in the Marietta/Roswell area, family owned and operated, 10/10 I recommend Amalfi every chance I get! read more

My husband and I are both Italian and finding truly authentic Italian cuisine is something we enjoy. Amalfi was recommended to me by the owner of a local salon after I mentioned that my favorite Italian restaurant was too far away and would be closed by the time I finished my appointment. I was famished, so I decided to stop by Amalfi on my way home, hoping they might take a to-go order even though it was close to closing. From the moment I walked in, the experience felt warm, genuine and welcoming. While I waited for my order, the bartender pointed me to a high-top table where I could sit. I asked if I could order a bowl of Pasta e Fagioli to eat while I waited. Within minutes a steaming, fragrant bowl was placed in front of me. It looked so delicious - I snapped a pic and sent the photo to my husband. After coming in from the cold, the first spoonful warmed me. I tried to savor every bite, torn between wanting to linger and wanting the next spoonful. I wiped the bowl clean with the dinner bread. I had ordered two dinners to go, and when I got home, I showed my husband (who had already eaten) what I brought for him (Rigatoni Lorenzo). He insisted he didn't need anything, but after a couple of bites, he admitted how good it was. By the time I finished my meal (Melenzane alla Parmigiana), we knew we had found the place where we'd celebrate my birthday. Since that first visit in December, we've returned several times -- with friends, on our own, and even once when I was not feeling well, my husband picked up an extra-large Pasta e Fagioli for me. The servers and bartender remind us of family -- warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. On one of the coldest nights recently, we went for dinner and Liz was our server. She was an absolute sweetheart. Her service was thoughtful and well-paced. As the restaurant quieted down toward closing, we had the chance to chat with her. She made us feel like old friends. Every visit has reinforced how special Amalfi restaurant is and each visit has been memorable in its own way. We are looking forward to our next experience. read more

Amalfi Ristorante - Pasta e Fagioli - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Best Italian food I've had in a long, long time. Not a very big place. Doesn't take reservations. There are a lot of regulars There was seven of us. We all got something different and we all loved it...... The only thing I would say negative was the bread wasn't really any kind of good Italian bread but when you dipped it in the sauce, it was good. read more

By far, best Italian restaurant in Roswell. The food is delicious. My favorite is the Linguine alle Vongole (linguini with clams). Also, the wine selection is great and Sal, the owner, is very knowledgeable and accommodating to your personal preferences and likes. The ambiance is great for a dinner with a group of friends or a romantic date. I highly recommend Amalfi!! read more

My friend joined me here and we sat at the bar. Two females. The bartender Sal ignored us most of the evening. Waited forever for a drink, waited forever to order dinner and was never asked if we wanted dessert, coffee or after-dinner drinks. The couples surrounding us had much better service. The guy next to me told me that Sal needs to approach us, not the other way around. Excuse me?! I'm the customer! Where I'm from, Long Island, this guy would have been told off in NY language. Like other comments, the food was mediocre. The bread was a heated hotdog roll, pasta overcooked and my eggplant was mush. We would have ordered dessert and drinks afterwards but were so turned off by the service, we just wanted the check which of course, we waited forever for. of course. They lost my business, my friends and my Italian friends that moved to Atlanta. read more

Excellent, authentic Italian food of the highest standard. Friendly, well-trained staff delivering excellent service. Restaurant ambiance is also excellent. A memorable dining experience. read more

I have been here twice first time was two years ago and then I came back by myself recently just sat at the bar and it was a reminder of how delicious and authentic this food is I really wish that they did Uber Eats and I also wish they didn't open up at 5 o'clock cause sometimes at 1 o'clock I'm eating for that pasta. The food is delicious. The service is great And the best old-fashioned I've ever had. read more

The best kept secret from these NY Italians.. We were just invited to have dinner at Amalfi with some friends after living in Milton for 10 years. Cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised we were to find an old world Italian restaurant in Roswell. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Atlanta area looking for a real Italian meal. read more

Haven't been here in years and was excited to revisit. The food was so disappointing. 3/4 of us ordered the Pollo Limone. Only 1 plate came with a lemon, all the chicken was over cooked and rubbery, the capers were shriveled and there was no flavor whatsoever to the sauce. The basket of bread looked and tasted like a large hot dog bun and the mozzarella in carrozza was literally a fried grilled cheese sandwich on what seemed like white bread. Even the marinara sauce on the side of pasta had no flavor. I'm not sure what happened, but needless to say, we were all very disappointed and won't be returning. The only saving grace was our server was very sweet. read more

My family and I tried Amalfi Ristorante for the first time last night, and we'll definitely be back often. This a family-owned restaurant, which truly comes across in the service. Everyone, from the over, to the host, the bartender and the waitstaff were welcoming and friendly. Even before the meal was served, they ensured our experience was top notch. Now, to the food. We were kindly given complimentary bruschetta, which was delicious and greatly appreciated. We split both grouper dishes (amazing), and two different veal dishes (Parmesan and Scaolpini), both of which were fabulous. At the end of the night we allowed our arms to be twisted and ordered the tiramisu and some cannolis, and again, we enjoyed every bite. Before we left, the owner again came by to thank us for choosing their restaurant. It was so nice to have a wonderful meal at a place where everyone takes such pride in what they do. read more

As always it was perfect, also cannoli was like a cherry on the top. Arrived at 6:30 and we didn't wait for a table or server.

No reservation needed but this place gets packed! Got seated in 20 minutes. My first time and of course i got to try everything. Ordered the mussells, carpaccio, calamari for apps. As for entrees we ordered seafood pasta and chicken parmigiana. As for dessert the classic creme brulee. read more

I came here while visiting my parents from Los Angeles, and I must say it was the best meal in a while. The entire staff was responsive, drink and wine recommendations were spot on, and the food was unbelievable. 10/10 and I wish there was a second location in Los Angeles. The owner Sal treats everyone with respect and I will be back. Thank you! read more

Very rude manager. He was anything but hospitable and welcoming. Terrible service, which I think was intentional. Other people seemed to get good service. This is my first 1 star review and I don't typically leave negative reviews. However, the food is not bad. Still wouldn't recommend. read more

Exceptional service on a Saturday eve by Jaimie. Nice atmosphere with dim candle lighting and a full bar. Great romantic dinner! Warm bread and Parmesan olive oil was served right away. Tried the veal Marsala and butternut squash with walnut and goat cheese. They do not take reservations and the place was full by 6pm. read more

I was looking forward to trying this Italian restaurant because I heard great reviews from friends and saw the overall great reviews on yelp. I was disappointed in the food when we ate and wanted to write an honest opinion. I have to say their Espresso Martini was honestly delicious, best one I have ever had anywhere! For our 2 entrees we got the shrimp scampi and the bowtie creamy mushroom white wine pasta. Both entrees were lacking in seasoning and flavor The bowtie mushroom pasta's mushrooms were not cooked long enough and had an off putting taste. The sauce in this pasta dish lacked salt and honestly just flavor. The shrimp scampi sauce was very plain, while I tasted the white vino & garlic it was way too mild and bland. Our server even grated fresh cheese over both of ours, which we hoped would help but it didn't. I hate that we were let down and I'm not sure if it was just an off night or short staffing of the cooks, or maybe a new cook trainee cooking this food. read more

Lovely experience and very kind owners. We need to come more often. Authentic, we will be back soon read more

Our new favorite place! Can't believe we haven't found Amalfi in all these years. Super quaint, excellent service and great food.

We went to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and we ordered the veal parmesan, the salmon and various appetizers that was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. A little noisy but still a very nice restaurant. read more

Very wonderful Italian food! The marinara sauce was spectacular and the service was awesome. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and I ate every bite. My husband's linguini pescano was full of seafood: mussels, scallops, shrimp. My son enjoyed the lasagna bolognese. They only have Italian wines. and we prefer California reds. We also started with a salad but I don't find they were worth the money or had anything special about it. Next time I would forgo the salad and try an appetizer instead. The food was very comforting and filling. We'd go back. read more

Amalfi Ristorante - Gnocchi - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I've been coming here since my husband Big Boy Bri Guy 7-8 years ago and we stumbled upon this place. We've been taking our grown up kids who party, here every time they visit. Best lasagna, wine, service, lemon drop martinis, espresso martinis, and minestrone soup in all of Georgia. Bruschetta is good too !! Sal is one of our favorite bartenders in all of Georgia as well. A real stand up guy along with the whole family who runs this amazing place. I got so drunk I dropped my fork but they quickly replaced it. Here we go read more

Celebrating a birthday-our first time here. Starting with Anna's Famous Calamari and Carpaccio di Manzo. Both were out of this world! The calamari was tender and flavorful and the Carpaccio was wafer thin, with the freshest arugula and shaved parmesan reggiano. Next my side was the Funghi Saltati in Padella A variety of mushrooms pan fried with garlic, E.V. Olive oil, and Anna's unique blend of fresh herbs, served with my entree Vitello Amalfi. Thin veal scaloppini, topped with fresh crab meat, spinach, and a melted fontina cheese. First time I've had this dish and it was very rich and succulent. My son had the Rigatoni Lorenzo - Rigatoni pasta served with sauteed arugula, garlic, and sliced sweet fennel sausage in a light cream sauce with a touch of crushed red pepper, and it was every bit as indulgent and tasty as my entree. We shared a dessert, panna cotta with a berry coulis. It was just the right dessert for a memorable meal. And the best part, the prices are reasonable for the quality meal you're receiving. One more thing, my vodka martini was a generous pour! We will be back. Thank you! read more

I got takeout and was absolutely not disappointed! I ordered the penne pasta, lasagna, mammoth meatballs, and a salad. The service and staff were amazing. The food was just out of this world! read more

Amalfi Ristorante - Got takeout and it was AMAZING! Penne pasta, lasagna, Mammoth meatballs, you should definitely eat here! Super friendly staff too! - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

The service was good, but she was obviously intimidated by her superiors, the chicken and sauce were overdone and not what we have experienced in the past (chicken Parmesan) very little cheese, especially mozzarella. Our son is a chef and he always says don't send anything back Mom. So, hence the review! To begin the evening Sal the bartender said I could only have two blue cheese olives with my dirty martini, when I asked for three, really! Not coming back and our husband likes it, oh well, Pricci it is I guess, sad to say bye read more

Located in a little strip mall with plenty of parking, Amalfi is as unassuming as it gets. I never would have known this place was here if it wasn't for the suggestion of a coworker! When I think of Roswell I only really consider the square (but full disclaimer I'm an ITPer) - so glad I found out about Amalfi. When I called ahead to make sure we'd be seated for dinner they just told me to "come on in!" as they don't take reservations. They also won't seat incomplete parties, just a heads up, but you can sit at the bar while you're waiting on folks to join you. The atmosphere was not at all what I expected for a strip mall Italian joint. On a Monday night it was absolutely packed with several large parties filling the space with chatter and laughter. It's unassuming but also a white tablecloth kind of place, if it's possible to be both at the same time! In addition to the bread-and-EVOO service we also split two apps: - Le Bruschette: four pieces of classic bruschetta, no complaints at all - Mozzarella in Carrozza: OK I'm not going to lie, I totally expected this to be like a brie wrapped in puff pastry thing, but it was basically a glorified grilled cheese (see pic). Don't get me wrong - it was freaking delicious! Absolutely recommend. Truly a hidden star on the menu! The three of us split dinners as well, and tried: - Gnocchi ($18): perfect, pillowy gnocchi in a ragu sauce that tastes like my mom's (but better - DON'T TELL HER OMG). This is a surefire way to treat yourself. - Melenzane alla Parmigiana ($17): look, if a restaurant says that their eggplant parm is "famous," I'm gonna order it - and this time, I'm so glad I did. You can't go wrong here. I'm absolutely going back. Winner. read more

Love it there! Friday nights at the bar is a hoot! Love the servers and wait staff. Food is delicious!

Omg .. I'm from nyc and been to Italy over 20 times The sauce was bland as can be The first sign should have been that the bread was some mush of a loaf and not a nice crusty bread Then the bartender, Sal, who I hope is not the owner attacked me verbally about politics He let some older men verbally cost me too awful experience Avoid read more

This is my new favorite Italian restaurant in the area! I've been here a few times and the service and food were exceptional both times. All meals are served with bread and oil before the meal. Refills comes before having to ask which is great. The appetizers are delicious and the entrees are even better! This time, we started with the mozzarella caprese. They spilt the caprese in 2 separate plates for us $12. It was fresh and delicious! As an entree, I ordered the eggplant parmigiana which was one of the eggplant parms I've ever had. It had a perfect amount of eggplant, sauce, and cheese. I will definitely order it again! We even ordered dessert, the Bomba Exotica. Three flavors of sorbet wrapped in white chocolate was so good. This is a smaller restaurant so you should plan to get here early to avoid a wait. I can't wait to come back soon! read more

Great food, service, visit often great wine list & bar...very authentic & consistent ..always a favorite for us

Our group had catering from Amalfi's the other day, and the food was spectacular. We enjoyed lasagna and sausage and peppers, I LOVED the sausage and peppers but opted out of the lasagna, which everyone else was very very happy with. Can't wait to try the restaurant out in person! read more

We enjoy coming here. Price to quality ratio is strong. Reason why we don't come more often is they were rude to our kids about 10'years ago. Goes to show how 1 experience can impact a customers' lifetime value. Even though we never experienced it again, us humans are run by our emotions, not logic. read more

I've only been here once, and I've never been to Italy so idk if it compares. It was delicious but also had the italia feel to it, Hey mambo! read more

Great mom and pop Italian! Get there early or you Will wait a while. Great calamari perfectly cooked and amazing marinara.

There are 1000 places to get decent Italian but if you want authentic deliious Italian this is the spot. Not fancy, Not jokey, just delicious food !! read more

Great food. Excellent service. Reminds me of a few small Italian restaurants that I frequented when I lived in Manhattan. Also had a familiar ambiance... read more

Discovered this place quite by accident on a Monday evening when our first choice was closed. Carpaccio was excellent. Wine list is not overpriced. Gnocchis are my favorite locally hands down!!! The only drawback is they don't take reservations and sometimes we just don't feel like waiting 45 minutes outside for a table especially on special occasions read more
