    Heirloom tomato salad
    Devon B.

    Service was excellent but the food wasn't anything special. I think I would go back for the pizza only. The pasta was served more than Al dente and the sauce lacked flavor. It seems like a very nice family friendly establishment but not somewhere I would go on a date night. There are some cute decorations around but the ambiance isn't what I would expect from a nicer Italian place.

    Been wanting to try this spot for a while! I actually came a few times in the summer and they had closed early, so I'm happy school (Emory) is back in session, and theyre back to their normal hours. The food was delish! The bar/ drinks are even better. I felt like everything was a good value. For me, the starters were a high light. Arancini was the best I've ever had at a restaurant! I normally don't order it, but I'm SO glad we got it! Totally worth it! I KILL for Artichokes anywhere I can get them; these are prepared as halved hearts (larger than a canned artichoke heart, but smaller than a full artichoke, halved): with amazing and refreshing flavors that combine the whipped ricotta, seamlessly. Warning: at first taste, the cauliflower was delicious and we thought it would steal the show as the BEST dish of the night! But it does have a fishy/ sardine-y after-taste: probably something written in plain sight on the menu, that we just missed! Our service was the best part. Loved our friendly, helpful bartender/ server, Katie! We had so many questions and she knowledgeably and patiently served us, educating us on broader knowledge about pizza and even beverage/ alcohol histories! Can't wait to dine-in at the bar again.

    Funghi Tortelloni & Salmon dish

    I've been to Double Zero a couple of times, and each time I enjoyed my experience there! The most recent visit, I had the Funghi Tortelloni which was very filling, rich, and delicious. We also ordered the salmon, which was cooked really well. I've also been to Double Zero for Valentine's Day and tried their prix fixe menu which was very tasty and nicely thought out for us to enjoy the experience. The service has been great every visit, and the ambience is nice and clean, with lighting being not too dark. There's also usually free street parking nearby which is a plus!

    I came here after a big reservation for my birthday. The location is in Emory Village, conveniently near Emory University. There's limited parking around there, whether it is the few spots on the street or nearby parking lots like the Jimmy John's. The atmosphere is quite dim with soft lights. Our server was nice, but I think she was overwhelmed with the number of people and that a lot of people weren't ready for drinks or food yet. It's so convenient and easy to use the QR code to pay or split the bill, compared to the server manually splitting food between customers. People who shared food could easily pick which guest their food was listed under and pay for it. She was also sweet enough to take a group picture of us. The garlic bread was amazing!!! It was delicious and super garlicky. The bread was soft on the inside but had a good crunch on the outside. I got the spicy speziato, which was a spicy shrimp with squid ink pasta. The sauce had a good kick to it, so I wound up dipping the plain pizza crust into it too. The pizza was a thin crust, but I think there was a wide crust and lot of fresh arugula on top. Squid ink is just used for food coloring and has no added taste for those who were wondering. The duck risotto also looked phenomenal, but could have had more meat. The risotto was nice and cheesy too.

    Not your average pizza place- top notch!! The service was great and Justine (our server ) gave great suggestions. We took them all and it did not disappoint. Place is much larger invader than it lies from the outside. Good music selection and great dinner lighting. It's in the heart of Emory so be prepared during the school semester parking will be at a premium. Just be careful you don't over order- portions are perfect!!

    Very friendly staff at this cool dimly lit restaurant! (But not too dim) The kids pizza is amazing apparently because my son ate the entire thing and it's literally huge for a kid. The pastas I've tried here were all really good. A good place to go with friends. There is parking on the street and across from the restaurant.

    Short Rib

    We used to dine at Double Zero all the time when they were located in Sandy Springs. The service and the food was always on point. We loved it there! For Valentine's Day this year, we went to the Emory Village location and quite honestly weren't impressed. i don't know if its standard or just because of the occasion, but the hostess literally started the night off by telling us how much time we were allotted to dine for. That instantly turned us off. we felt rushed throughout the meal and when our wine glasses were empty, we weren't even asked if we'd like another. We did love the garlic knot and calamari. The short rib was okay. i don't think we'll back again. i don't know if there was a change in ownership/management, but if so we miss the old team and menu.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Julia C.

    Had the most amazing meal at Double Zero this week!! Everything we ate was sooo delicious and our service was amazing. The chicken parmesan and caesar salad were for sure my favorite!! This spot is right in Emory Pointe, and there are lots of other great spots to make this a full date night. Definitely get to this spot if you have been trying to for awhile!! It is fun and YUM!!

    Garlic Knot
    Anand D.

    Where to even begin with Double Zero?! The food here was EXCELLENT. We went for my father-in-law's birthday. There were 6 of us total. Highly recommend making a reservation, as it's a pretty popular restaurant. This location is right in Decatur, right on Emory University's campus. To start, we all shared the garlic knot and the fritto misto. We got two orders of the garlic knot, as it's essentially one big knot, that you share. It was so good. The butter on top was such a good add-on, and the bread pulled apart so nicely. The fritto misto was enjoyed by our group (I am not a fan of calamari, but they all said it was really good.) This fritto misto did have some pieces of shrimp in it as well, which I had a piece of, it was quite good. For my main course, I got the chicken parmesan and got a pasta add-on of cacio e pepe. When I tell you this is the best chicken parmesan I have ever had, I mean that with 100% truth! It was EXCELLENT. It wasn't a huge piece of chicken in the sense that it was so thick, but it was big in the sense of the size of the entire piece of cutlet. It had the perfect amount of crispiness and softness to it. It also came with a side salad too. You can choose from a pasta add-on of cacio e pepe and pasta pomodoro (for an additional cost). I got the cacio e pepe. It was so good. The perfect amount of everything. My fiancé got the ravioli al formaggio. This dish was also excellent. It was flavorful and had the perfect amount inside each ravioli. If you haven't noticed by now....all the food we got was incredibly flavorful. From the appetizers to the entrées, everything was a 10/10. Our group also shared a bottle of red which was recommended by our server. The service at Double Zero is far from terrible. Our server was incredibly attentive and continuously checked on our table throughout the entire evening. He engaged in conversation with us unrelated to dinner and made suggestions when appropriate at the same time. The only reason that I am not giving Double Zero 5 stars, is because parking is an absolute madhouse. There is a lot directly behind the restaurant, but fills up very quickly around dinner time. I had to circle the area about 3 times before I found a spot that opened up. Other than that, everything else is 5 stars. I highly recommend dining at double zero. Whether it be for lunch or dinner for 2 or for 10, you won't be disappointed.

    We were in town visiting for a conference and tried out Double Zero because the shuttle from the Emory Conference hotel took us there. It was a Monday night and took advantage of half priced bottles of wine. The service was great and the food was very good too. I had the margarita pizza and was surprised that it comes uncut and they bring you scissors to cut it yourself. It works well if you are sharing and don't want big slices. The decor is nice and enjoyed our experience there.

    How is the outdoor seating?

    I have actually never seen anyone using the outdoor tables but it is available. It looks out over North Decatur Road, so not exactly scenic.

    Website says they are closed on Sundays but voicemail for restaurant gives hours including Sunday hours. Does anyone know which is correct?

    Chantal - we open at 5pm on Sundays. Thank you!

She also clued us into the fact that you can get all of their entree pastas in appetizer size! This means we were able to try more pastas as well as enjoy an app and dessert. We ordered a bottle of Nero D'Avola, which was smooth and delicious. We got the meatballs as our appetizer, which were super tender and full of flavor. We split the rigatoni alla vodka, fettucine ai funghi, and tagliatelle bolognese. All were perfection. I loved the creaminess of the alla vodka, which had a kick of spice from the chili oil. I loved the herbiness and freshness of both the ai funghi with its sage and the bolognese with its rosemary. The tiramisu was the only dish that was just ok. I would much rather have espresso drenched ladyfingers than coffee liquor. But it was still good so I cannot complain. The waitress also surprised us with prosecco with a lemon rind twist to celebrate the fact that we had just closed on our first ever home. All in all - it was a perfect evening.

We did arrive here a bit early for our reservation but were seated right next to the open kitchen, so it felt quite crowded and cramped. It's a very, very small restaurant and it was freezing where we sat because we were under the vents. Our server, Mary Catherine, was a treat and she took good care of us. She took our drink orders, though I didn't drink tonight. For appetizers, we started with the calamari and stuffed clams. They also offered complementary bread and olive oil basket that was served warm, yum! Our food orders came out pretty fast actually. The calamari was not your typical fried calamari - it was delicious and loved the mix of raw onions in it for that fresh bite. I'm not a fan of clams so I didn't try this, but heard it was just breading and can't really taste the clam taste. For my entree, I ordered the spaghetti pomodoro with meatballs. I had been dreaming about this since making the reservations and it did not disappoint. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce was wonderful. I did think the meatballs were a tad too salty for my taste and I'm glad I opted out of the freshly grated parm because I feel like that would have made everything saltier. After our meal, they brought out free dessert for the birthday celebrants. Nothing but raves were said after our dinner here and we're definitely looking forward to coming back here again.

We were seated in the back which is still festive but brighter and less cozy. Like many mentioned, the waitstaff wasn't interested in making the experience memorable and wanted you in and out as fast as possible.

This feels like a tourist trap in a quaint neighborhood. We both got pasta entrees and they were good, but expensive considering no meat was included. The drinks were festive and actually felt like a good pour considering how expensive they are. 2 stars for that. We ended with the crème brûlée which was somehow over cooked and not creamy. I'm sure the owner will be aggressive about this honest review. To be fair, my sister loved the experience but she's hardly traveled and is delighted by mediocre things sometimes. I really wanted to love this place because we just moved to the area and I wanted to have this be our new cozy date night place. It won't be. If you want to spend $100 per person for mediocre food and holiday photos, this is your place.

However we were given continuous updates on when the table would be ready, they apologized, and they were very understanding.

I randomly decided that I wanted Italian so we decided to check them out for the first time. Mezza Luna is located in a very small plaza with a tight parking lot. I'm so glad that I read the reviews in advance about parking, but I still wasn't prepared for what we saw. Surprisingly, there were 2 or 3 open spots when we visited around 7pm. We had reservations and were quickly seated after being greeted. The restaurant itself was quite intimate, offering only a few tables that were laid out in a manner that had us all quite close. But it worked! Since we had our son with us, they already had a high chair ready for us but he slept through the entire dinner, which also shows how peaceful it actually was in there. I started with a glass of chianti and it paired perfectly with the complimentary starter bread. That focaccia was so fresh! The crust had a great crunch but it was still soft and fluffy inside. We went with the meatball appetizer special which included 4-5 meatballs covered in marinara, fresh tomatoes and burrata. They were delicious, although the tomatoes being cold was a bit of a surprise. For dinner, I went for the chicken piccata and my partner opted for the chicken marsala. Both were great and packed with flavor. Such an unassuming place with tons of flavor waiting inside - perfect for date night or just a nice Italian dinner!

Needless to say, we enjoyed our experience here for dinner. Husband and I came to celebrate my birthday - he was a bit upset they didn't offer anything for my birthday even though he notated it on the reservation, but I didn't really care for it as I don't like having the attention on me. This place is hard to miss as it's right on Roswell Rd. There is complimentary valet parking available, but there's also free parking at a deck just a few steps away from the restaurant entrance. We were greeted by the hostess as soon as we walked in and the restaurant was already very busy for a Saturday 6 pm dinner. Our server was fine, and the food was decent. I opted for the blackberry fiz mocktail, which was super sweet at first, but with a good mix, it was super refreshing. For starters, we shared the eggplant balls (a must get here!) and the bread service. The eggplant balls were definitely shareable and were probably our favorite thing we ate. The bread service you could probably skip - we wish it was served with vinegar instead of just oil and an olive tapenade. For entrees, I ordered one of the dinner specials, grilled branzino served with broccolini and potatoes. My husband ordered the ravioli. I really enjoyed the branzino, it was tender and the skin was cooked crispy. I loved that the broccolini was charred enough, but wish the potatoes were cooked a bit more. The capers added the needed saltiness to the dish, though I wish this was served with lemon or something to balance out the flavors. My husband enjoyed his ravioli but found it too heavy with the cream sauce. We thought this was a decent place for dinner, but nothing really stood out besides the eggplant balls.

    My family and I dined here on Christmas Eve. We were shocked how empty the restaurant was when we…read moregot there. We did have dinner reservations at 6:30 pm and only a few tables were occupied, but the later the night had gone, more diners came, but still was not bustling full. They have valet parking (apparently was not available that night) and deck parking which they do validate 2 hours of it. We were at the restaurant for more than 2 hours, so we paid for the extra time. Our server (Lauren I think was her name) was decent that night, but we felt as if our drinks and food took a long time. As it was Christmas Eve, she gave us a few additional plates that we did not order for free that we thoroughly enjoyed. For starters, we all shared the meatballs, marinated olives, little gem salad and focaccia. I thoroughly enjoyed the salad and focaccia with the salad as one of our "Christmas gifts" that night. The focaccia was served with honey butter and was served warm. My husband and I shared the Margherita Royale. The dough itself had a nice chew and loved the charred bits on the crust. We also shared the charred broccoli, but was nothing to write home about - personally, would not recommend. I ordered an affogato as my dessert. I wasn't expecting the espresso and ice cream to be served separately. I just took sips of the espresso while taking spoonfuls of ice cream - this was easily shared. I do want to give a shout out to their general manager, Macy. She dropped by our table to check how we were enjoying our meal. Two people in our party has been there before to celebrate a big accomplishment and Macy remembered them! She even remembered giving them a gift that night. I think it's worth trying their food! It's in a good location on the beltline, but surrounded by businesses.

    Ooooh this place is a dream! The outdoor (enclosed) patio in the winter isn't just a last resort…read morereservation option, it should be your TOP destination. It's cozy, (plenty warm) and romantic! It was 32 degrees outside, but completely comfortably warm, inside. You truly wouldn't know you weren't inside. Any way, I've eaten my way through Inman Park but somehow hadn't yet indulged in the delectable Sotto Sotto. This might just be my new favorite Italian in Atlanta. It was absolutely delicious. Across the table (thanks to the half portion option), we tried at least 8 items on the menu! Each one was more special then the next. Our incredible server Kagen (sp?) walked us through each section of the menu absolutely perfectly. As a result we ended up ordering some of his favs from across the menu. In my photos you can see what we ordered, but my recommendation is to simply ask your server what they like and you'll undoubtably get something stellar. In a market of many, great Italian options, Sotto Sotto might just be the BEST and my new fav!!! I absolutely can't wait to return.

    Food:10/10 Ambiance:10/10…read moreService:-0/10 This place was amazing the food and atmosphere created an amazing experience for my group ,... However the server we had tonight was one of the worst experiences I've had especially for a place that is trying to sell an upscale dining environment he greeted the table by saying (after we asked how he was doing) "I'm doing f-ing horrible I'm tired and feel like sh*t we had such a busy night last night" he was not very knowledgeable about menu or drinks and his overall appearance gave very much unhygienic he also forgot to put in our food order so we waited double the time and said that since we already had appetizers and the other table did not have any food that we could wait to order food, also just assumed how someone in my group wanted there steak cooked so had to wait for that to be redone, he was all over the place and did not check in on us very often we needed things like refills or salt pepper etc. and went without because bad service I don't think he should have been working he obviously did not want to be there he also failed to mention that the kitchen was closing so we did not get to try the desserts. There were a couple of other things but don't want a 5 page review I cannot remember his name but a taller white guy with a messy bun and tired eyes. We still left a tip because that's what you do when you go out but if he treated his other tables like he did us I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones that tipped. I suggest not going on a busy night to get good service I guess. My group was 4 ppl 2 couples trying to enjoy a nice double date without the craziness of v-day next time we will celebrate days before. Will for sure be going back and hope you give them a try but if that's how the waiter greets himself please go ahead and ask for a different server!!!!

    I was wondering why so many people had either recently left poor reviews or had downgraded their…read moreprevious reviews, and after my most recent visit I unfortunately understand why. Something has completely changed about this spot. It used to be one of my favorites, a nice moderately priced sit-down Italian restaurant tucked away in downtown Decatur. Maybe they've grown too big for their britches as we southerners say, but this most recent visit was likely my last. Staff attitudes were terrible, the execution of the food was a joke. My siblings and I had hyped this restaurant up to our mom and thought she would enjoyed being wined and dined. We arrived admittedly about 10 minutes after our reservation time (thanks to the city of Decatur's hostile parking policies), after attempting to call the restaurant and let them know we were circling the building. I say attempting because the number rings straight to an AI voice that doesn't allow you to speak once it asks you a question. I even tried sending messages through the OpenTable app. Either way, the restaurant claims you have a 15 minute grace period. Once we finally walked inside, my sister leaned over and whispered that their posted food inspection score was a low B. We exchanged glances but figured maybe they were inspected on an off day. The host (once she finally stopped avoiding eye contact with us) spontaneously let us know that since we weren't on time, we would be "getting a table in the back by the kitchen". What an odd policy to announce to your patrons that you're going to be punishing them with bad seating. The table was indeed by the kitchen but given how many tables this restaurant has tried to cram into the dining room, none of them are spectacular. I looked around and saw folks at tables bumping into the ones next to them, that's how tightly everyone is seated. Our server was friendly enough, and was able to recommend some good dishes. Word to the wise, while they bring bread to the table, it's one half-slice per person. We learned the hard way (because our server never mentioned it) that asking for more bread (the exact same amount as before mind you) is $7. You could buy a freshly baked loaf for that price. The actual food was fine, not bad but nothing like we've had in the past. It arrived fairly quickly. Where the dinner continued nosediving was when my sister, after seeing that we all had ordered small side dishes of pasta, decided she'd like to order some as well. By small side dish, I mean a fistful in a soup cup. I add that detail because when she asked the server, the server stated it would be AT LEAST a 20 minute wait. We asked her to repeat herself because surely we heard that wrong, right? 20 minutes for spaghetti?! She left for a few minutes, then came back and said her manager confirmed that even if she asked the kitchen to rush it, the soonest would be 18 minutes. You see a pattern here right? This restaurant seems like they relish letting their customers know who's in charge...and here's a hint reader, it's not you. Where the evening actually became appalling was a result of our closeness to the kitchen. They have a sous chef working dining room-adjacent doing the final dish prep before the food is picked up by the runners. I know kitchens usually don't utilize gloves (the whole, hands can be frequently washed but the same pair of gloves will touch multiple surfaces thing). However this gentleman unabashedly practiced some of the worst cross contamination practices I've ever seen. He'd grabbed fistfuls of Parmesan cheese to garnish a plate, then reach in his pocket for his phone. Then he'd arrange leaves of lettuce for salad, then TOUCH HIS HAIR. We watched him on two occasions have, either family friends or familiar patrons, walk up to him excitedly and he'd hug them and shake their hands and pat their shoulders, and once done would immediately grab forks and knives and spoons by their business ends, squeeze lemons, slice bread, fist the cheese container....absolutely disgusting and completely explains the health inspection score. If anything it should have been lower. We were only 5 feet away from the guy and he made eye contact with us several times so it's not like he was embarrassed. A long haired woman came over a few times and did the same as him, though she did put black gloves on once or twice. To top it off, once we received the check was we saw plenty of upcharges and surcharges that our server neglected to tell us she would be adding, so her tip reflected her oversight. To wrap it up, not only is the service and food not worth the price, but this place is actually unhygienic. Unless they change their practices, you're eating here at your own risk. Wish Yelp was like IG and I could @ the health department....
