    Not a fan. The best things were the drinks, the calamari, and the mozzarella sticks. The pizza they call "garlic bread " was ok, very bland, but fresh. All their pasta is tasteless, bland. I get authentic Italian is like this, I don't prefer authentic Italian. Give me the fake stuff. Way more flavorful. I got the ziti. Not good. Threw it out. Great location. There are better options for pasta. Definitely a skip. Service was whatever. We were the only party on our side, wasn't that busy on the other side and service was slow and he forgot stuff. I don't like that.

    Cannoli
    Briana N.

    I didn't expect to be able to be seated so quickly for a table of 8 for dinner, but we were able to sit down immediately! Granted, it was a Monday evening, but still! We ordered the Pork meatballs - the meatballs were soo tender and I loved the ricotta and sauce on top. I wish it came with more than three though. Crispy potatoes - I loved the crisp on these, and the sauce was delicious. The insides were pretty fluffy, but it wasn't my favorite. Just because it was so starchy inside that it felt kinda dry and it sucked all the moisture from inside my mouth. Brussel Sprouts - I was a big fan of these. They were cooked perfectly, and I loved the combo of the cheese with the slight sweetness of the sauce. Roni pizza - this pizza was good because you can't really go wrong with pepperoni and honey. But it felt a little weird that this was one of the most expensive pizzas, and on par with other pizzas that came with a lot more interesting toppings and flavors. Rigatoni - the pasta was nice and al dente and the sauce was so good! It wasn't necessarily an item I kept coming back to though. And I wish there was more ricotta. Diavola - this pizza was delicious! But you have to really like pickled things like hot cherry peppers. It was an overpowering flavor, and made everything a bit sour. Caprese - this was also delicious, you really can't go wrong with tomatoes, cheese, basil, and balsamic. And it's so refreshing, especially against all the other heavier dishes. But idk if it's worth the price it was. Paccheri Genovese - this pasta was also delicious! Cooked perfectly, and the caramelized onions gave a really nice deep flavor that paired really well with the short rib. I also liked that the short rib wasn't in huge chunks, so that you could actually eat it with the pasta. And have a general meaty taste overall in the creamy sauce. Cannoli - I love that this is customizable, from what type of ricotta, to toppings, to if the shell has chocolate or not. Not only does it ensure that you get what you like, but it also ensures that these are made fresh! And when we got it and ate it, that was confirmed. The shell was still crisp and fresh, like it had just been filled. No stale cannolis here! Plus, the servers were so friendly! They were nice in general, but when they found out we were celebrating a birthday in the group, they let her customize a free cannoli, and gave her a signed card from the staff. It was so sweet!

    Caesar Salad
    Celia Monique W.

    I am a hugeee fan of Grana. I typically dine at the one in Buckhead. I went to the Dunwoody location and had a great experience there as well. Our server was Julia; she was sweet and very patient considering it took me forever to order. We sat outside, and it was just as pretty outdoors as it was indoors. We started with the brussels sprouts, which is always a great choice, like I wanted to lick the plate clean type of good.... For our entree's we ordered the Panzanella Salad with Grilled Chicken, The Caesar Salad with Shrimp, and we shared "The Figgy" Pizza. As simple as a Caesar Salad is, they definitely are not made well everywhere you go, but Grana's was delishhhhhh, and the shrimp was really just a good extra touch. What really stole the show was the Figgy. I typically lean towards the Roni, but my friend encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone that day. The Figgy is the perfect balance of savory and sweet, the goat cheese and fig and arugula? I LOVED it. I'm so happy to see that Grana is carrying the consistency of great food and service across it's locations. I will be trying the Roswell location soon and hope to have the same experience.

    Meatball flight
    Micaela R.

    I came here on Valentine's Day with a gal pal and sat at the bar and the vibes were great. The service was awesome and the ceaser salad which didn't make the cut was amazzzzinggg! We split the salad because it was a big one. I didn't care for the fried meatball but the other meatballs were really good. The pizza is really good and comes out fresh. The wine options were fresh and a perfect addition to dinner. I can't believe this is my first time here and I'll definitely be back.

    In town for work and craving Italian. Grana is in a great location despite parking being a little limited (fills up quickly). To avoid waiting we set at the end of the bar. Service was a little hectic as it was half bottle of wine Wednesday so our servers were very busy. Enjoyed our pasta and pizza. Wanted garlic bread to start but the only bread app they had was an actual pizza. Fun restaurant. Would love to go back and take advantage of the half price bottles of wine on Wednesday!

    Happy hour menu
    Kien H.

    I was walking around the area so I still have to stop it. I've been to the other one so no reason why I would consider not going this one. Instead of shopping area and they have free parking so just keep that in mind. There may be a situation to where it's kind of crowded or whatever the case may be going to look kind of line it is, but at least it's free. Last time I went I went for happy hour. They actually have some pretty good options there. A couple of different types of pasta on that happy hour menu. They have a really nice setup. Because it's in a little area with a lot of other things. They have a courtyard kind of situation right outside. And they have indoor and outdoor seating. And that includes the indoor and outdoor seating that is right off the bar area as well. So on a nice day you can really get a good breeze on the outside while still getting the same service. The last time I was there I went to the bar and I got service immediately and everybody was really friendly. Even though she couldn't eat them LOL. We had a good conversation. Roni - this was the standard pepperoni pizza, but it was pretty good. Thin crust and just the right amount of sauce on the pie. They also did not skimp on the pepperoni either. Brussel sprouts - these were more sweet than savory. Not in a bad way though. It's covered with cheese and the glaze that is used is very sweet and tangy. Overall they are a good spot to go to, especially for happy hour. Next time I go, I will for sure try one of the happy hour pasta dishes too (because they have quite a few options).

    Margarita pizza
    Dazziyah M.

    I lovvvve Grana. Their food is always cooked to perfection. I've had the Brussels sprouts at a different location and they took them off the menu. But they were back! I would literally go back there just for that. They're so crispy yet soft and sweet. Literal perfection. I also ordered the pasta that I can't remember the name of, but it had bolognese in it. The pasta is sooooo good. It's definitely cooked al dente with soo much meat on it. Definitely an be shareable with another person. I didn't have the shrimp, but the person I was with said it was great! So flavorful. A while back I went and had the margarita, pizza and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were so good and very crispy. I don't think the cheese was cheesy enough to have a pull, but it was still so good. And I love margarita pizza so it was definitely a really good choice. The service is always great there and I've never had an issue with anything. The servers are so attentive. And the scenery is just so pretty, this place is definitely great for date nights or dinner with your friends. It's such a nice vibe. 10/10

    Calamari & Cesar salad in bk
    Monica R.

    Great location. Plenty of parking. Great restaurant and seating ,good lighting several restrooms that were extremely clean. Service and attention was great our server Sam answered Annie and all questions since it was our first time. It's a definite recommend. & and I would be coming back. They also have a smaller selective menu option between 4 PM to 6 PM daily . All pasta made in house.

    Garlic Bread
    Meredith S.

    Came here with my family on a Saturday night and had a fabulous meal!! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about our food and made the evening even better. We started with a round of drinks that included the tasty Hugo spritz and enjoyed the meatball flight and garlic bread to start. Both are must gets! We wrapped our meal with two entrees to share the rigatoni and the short rib pasta-- both were SO fresh and delicious. Overall a beautiful restaurant with great food!

    Lovely ambiance
    Tasha H.

    Loved it here! Can't wait to come back. Visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Brittany was our waitress and the bartender. By her recommendation , I got the Grana jewel drink. It's made with whiskey rye, pomegranate juice, lemon juice and agave . Chileeeeee omg the drink was so good! Apparently they only have it for lunch and happy hour which is a bummer. You can taste the whiskey taste, but the flavor of the pomegranate and lemon and agave add a slightly sweet touch. Perfect drink and you can feel it. Hot honey pizza was so good. I could taste the high quality ingredients. Not sure about how it would reheat so eat it all here. Chicken parm sand was also good, but I wasn't a fan of the potatoes. Tasted like they needed a little something else. Still very high quality. Grana, I'll definitely be back!

    Nonna's meatballs
    Lori G.

    We were in town for a family function and were looking for a place for dinner within walking distance from our hotel. So glad we chose Grana! The restaurant is quaint and has outdoor seating. Olivia, our server, was friendly and so knowledgeable of the menu. We started with NONNA's meatballs and they didn't disappoint. They were topped with a black currant and mustard seed "jelly" that was so different from anything we've had before. Then we had the Fibonacci pizza, minus the spicy peppers. The crust was crunchy, yet light and fluffy.

    Cannoli with cow milk ricotta in chocolate dipped shell with chocolate chips
    Libby C.

    Great outdoor patio with leisurely ambiance. The service was great. We were greeted promptly with a smile and seated. Food was fantastic. We all raved about the pepperoni pizza with hot honey. It was delicious! Pasta was very flavorful and cooked perfectly al dente. The sheep milk cannoli had a wonderful tangy, lemon flavor that we all loved. Definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner out!

    Grana Meatballs

    Loved our server Brittany, she was very attentive and sweet! The Grana meatballs is a combination of pork, veal, and beef which was flavorful and juicy. I also tried the wild mushroom pizza, but didn't take a picture :( Love this Grana location as it's never really full during lunch/early dinner. Def taking advantage of the happy hour next time.

    Inside is nice!

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. The portion size of their $18 olive and pesto appetizer was appalling. Six olives (yes, six!), four slivers of cheese, three artichoke hearts, and a ramekin of delicious pesto. 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.

Pros The quiet, intimate, and classy atmosphere was exactly what I needed for my family. When we first arrived, our table was not ready and we had to wait outside. However we were given continuous updates on when the table would be ready, they apologized, and they were very understanding. Considering we were a large party in an intimate space, we understood and only waited about 20 minutes before the table was ready. You could tell the food was fresh, the orders came fast, and the service was amazing. The fresh in house pasta took everything to the next level. It was the perfect night out. Cons The establishment is intimate so I do not think it would ideal for extra large parties.

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!

    We used to visit Baraonda when it was near the Fox, so we were excited to see it reopen much closer…read moreto home. Happy to report it's even better than we remembered. We kicked things off with the bread service (I have a carb problem--truly) and the tri-colore pizza. The pizza was fantastic and worked perfectly as a shared appetizer. For mains, we ordered the halibut special, linguine and clams, and the pappardelle with lamb ragu. The halibut was the standout for me, absolutely loved it. The other two dishes were very good as well, though the lamb ragu could've used a bit more tomato flavor. Overall, a really solid meal and a great value. We'll definitely be back!

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.

For food- BLT Pizza: new menu item that is super good! Italian sausage: the yummiest pizza on the menu always a favorite. Kale salad and Brussels sprouts were a great addition. Focaccia is a must!!

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!!!!
