From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. My husband and I were greeted warmly and made to feel genuinely welcome, which set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and happy to offer thoughtful recommendations. Our food arrived promptly and exactly as ordered, beautifully presented and full of flavor. What truly stood out, though, was the level of care and professionalism shown throughout the meal; every detail was handled with intent and kindness. Huge shout-out!!! to Phil Hubert for his outstanding service. He was welcoming, attentive, charming, and consistently friendly. The Champagne Greetings exceeded my expectations. I was celebrating my birthday, and I feel so special. Also, I want to thank Mary Grace and Katie, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and it definitely did not go unnoticed. The Americano Atlanta Restaurant takes pride not only in its food but also in creating a memorable experience for guests. Outstanding service like this is rare and deserves recognition. We will absolutely be returning and recommending this place to others! read more

recently visited The Americano at the InterContinental Buckhead while meeting a friend who was staying at the hotel. After enjoying hors d'oeuvres and beverages in the executive lounge, we decided to end the evening with dessert, and it was a lovely experience. What impressed me most was that both the hostess and our server remembered my friend, even though he had only been staying at the hotel for two days. That personal touch made us feel genuinely welcome, and we were seated comfortably right away. We shared a couple of beautifully presented desserts along with coffee, and everything was delicious. It was the perfect way to end the evening. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that when we opened our dessert menus, there were no menu pages inside. It was a small oversight, and we understand that things happen, so it certainly didn't ruin our visit. Overall, The Americano offers warm hospitality, attentive service, and beautifully crafted desserts. I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Buckhead. read more

Bestie and I did a staycation at the hotel and we dined here for breakfast and dinner because we did not want to leave the property. The menu is very limited but what I had was good. Fresh ingredients and very flavorful. Not sure why there is corn on the pasta dish though. I server was Friendly and efficient. I feel they should have complimentary bread as part of service as the appetizer menu itself was unappealing. I would go back if I'm in the area but would not make a special trip to dine here read more

I had the pleasure of dining here for breakfast and lunch. This restaurant is located inside of the IHG hotel in Atlanta, however, you can enter the restaurant from the street. The ambiance is nice and elegant. The decor is very esteemed. The class definitely matches that of the hotel itself. Welcomed and greeted by a host, we were able to get seated without a reservation, although, I do recommend making one. I opted for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and while that may sounds basic, it most definitely was not. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had. For lunch, I had the Americano Burger which consists of a Wagyu patty. Again, delicious! I would've loved to give this restaurant 5 stars. What prevented that was an issue with gnats. There are flowers that are on the table. I'm not sure if that was the issue, but it made it hard for me to fully enjoy my experience as I had to keep shooing them away from my food. They were present for both breakfast and lunch. Even still, this restaurant is a must try and I will definitely dine again when I am back in town. read more

I ordered room service from the Americano while staying at the Intercontinental Buckhead. What I liked? The Caesar salad was amazing. The breadcrumbs instead of traditional croutons were a nice touch, the lettuce was fresh, and the dressing was light and flavorful. What could be improved? The flavor of the meatballs was great, you can't go wrong with basil, pomodoro, and stracciatella cheese, but I prefer my meatballs to be a bit more tender. These were very dense which suggests they were overworked during mixing or had too much egg/breadcrumb. All in all the dish was tasty, but I would've liked the meatballs to be more airy and less heavy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

The Americano Atlanta - Meatballs and Caesar Salad - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The Americano is a high end restaurant located inside the Intercontinental Buckhead. The Wedge Salad was a good light starter. The Wagyu was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the fries were crisp. Asparagus had a slight "snap" texture with good taste. Staff here was attentive and made sure things were in order. The restaurant is on the romantic side, and some may find it a bit too dim. read more

This little, classy restaurant was at the bottom of our hotel during a recent business trip to Atlanta. A bunch of us enjoyed a dinner there and it was a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. I got the half chicken with gnocchi Romana and it was perfect. The half chicken was so savory and perfectly cooked. This may be the best test of a restaurant: the half chicken. It was so tender. My colleague and I enjoyed the potato purée with chicken broth and shallots too and it was a delight. read more

Intro - A group of coworkers and I popped into spot for a nightcap after an event. Ambiance/Vibe - 5/5 This bar/restaurant is located in the Intercontinental Buckhead and is quite swanky, as you might imagine. It was nighttime when we visited and the vibe was perfect for a night cap, after dinner drinks, type of vibe. Service 5/5 Our waitress was attentive and quick. Kept the libations coming. Not much more to could ask for! Food N/A Food was not ordered during this visit Drinks 5/5 The drinks were well made, generous pours and reasonably priced. They have some in-house specialty cocktails. I don't recall the names of what I ordered but they were tasty. Final Verdict 5/5 If you're looking for a after dinner, after work, wine down, and happen to be in the area, this is a great option. They even have happy hour with various specials available as well. read more

The Americano Atlanta - This drink had the word "trouble" in it, that's all I recall! - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Came here on a Sunday night and sat at the bar. Ironically was in town during the college football championship game so it was a bit busy at the bar. Olivia was great and very friendly and made sure my drinks were full. The bolognese pasta was a bit too rich for me, the cheese sauce they put on top was a bit much. I wish the branzino was a bit lighter, the capers were not needed. But it was cooked well. My favorite was the potato puree haha read more

My husband and I had an incredibly thoughtful birthday celebration at The Americano. Everyone went above and beyond to make our dinner special. Upon being seated, our table was tastefully decorated with rose petals & a warmly greeted by our waiter. He gifted us a champagne toast & a delicious pair of rice balls to celebrate the occasion. We decide to split a couple items for dinner, starting with the Ceaser salad & meatballs. The Ceaser salad was special, there was a spicy crunch that made each bite flavorful. We shared the half chicken & charred broccolini as our main. The half chicken stole the show- it was perfectly prepared. My husband was tempted to ask for the recipe of the sauce. It was incredibly delicious! To say the least, the Americano dinner experience is 5 stars without a doubt. read more

Just got home from spending our Christmas dinner at the Americano inside the InterContinental hotel in Buckhead. We self parked and walked through the hotel, seeing all of the decorations around and made our way to the restaurant. It wasn't super busy when we arrived, but got busier as we ate. The fixed menu was spectacular and had an amazing array of tastes. To open, my dad got the wine flight, my mother got the affogato, and I had the cherry blossom martini....and then I had a second lol! Opening course was the Stromboli. We packed this up as our appetizers came out right away. The truffle ceasar salad with all romaine hearts (the way I love my salad!), fried ricotta balls, the meatballs and fregola, and scallop crudo were all super tasty. The scallop freaked my parents out a little but they ended up liking that the best! Mains: branzino, duck breast, and ribeye. Sides: polenta, creamed spinach, Parmesan popovers, and roasted heirloom carrots. Dessert: torrine, macarons, buche de Noel, and pear tart with a touch of gold leaf on it for tonight's holiday touch. We aren't big eaters so it was a lot to take home. Their 4 sauces were tasty but it would've been a nightmare to pack them up so that's the only thing we didn't take home- and the creamed spinach was gone too. Our server Gonzalo was tremendous. The runners were also fantastic. Never needed to ask for water refills, or anything else. It was really a great way to spend your Christmas dinner without making a mess at home. I can't wait to go back and try some pasta. The truffle fettuccine special made in a wheel of Parmesan looked crazy good but we would've eaten nothing if we got pasta on top of the meal. Thank you to the Americano for a wonderful meal that I could treat my parents to. read more

Nice spot for a date night for locals. The only same-day reservation for a Saturday for dinner was 6:15 which was odd since the restaurant was mostly empty while we were there. Maybe they leave tables open for walk-in hotel patrons? In any event service was excellent with warm hospitality amongst all the staff from the host to the person who filled our water glasses. It took a little while for our drinks to come out (received after we finished the appetizer) which is the only critique. My bf had the Nero manhattan and I had the pomodora (can't remember if that was the exact name) which I couldn't resister because it had tomato in it! It was very refreshing. The tuna crudo appetizer was good, using fresh fish, although the greens it was served with was slightly too acidic for my taste. I loved the gnocchi and the sauce it was served in, plus the burrata atop the pillowy goodness. I wasn't able to eat the entire thing so they packed me a small box and I devoured it when I got home. My bf had the farro risotto, a good sized portion. The beef was perfectly tender and the addition of horseradish gave it an interesting taste. The farro was also tender but not mushy. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and my bf had amaro latte. The mousse was a little loose for my liking but very light and airy, and a huge portion. The coffee drink was surprisingly delicious. Overall this was a technically well executed meal and experience. I only wish it wasn't part of a hotel because parking is such a pain. They do validate valet parking but the Intercontinental is always super backed up and the valet area is so small. We didn't see anywhere we could self- or street park without being a hotel guest or taxi. If you're staying at the hotel, eating at this restaurant is a no-brainer. It's cool when the restaurants of celebrity chefs actually live up to the hype. read more

The Americano Atlanta - Pomodora cocktail and yes that's a tomato - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

From Dinner to Brunch (or is it from Brunch to Dinner?), it's safe to say The Americano is worth a visit any time of day! Our first experience was for dinner. The chef sent a small bite for our wait, and when we had the table side pasta-- it was a phenomenal experience. On another occasion, we joined for a jazz brunch with the chef. My fiancé had the steak and eggs while I ordered the French toast. For drinks, he ordered the table side bloody Mary cart and I was a little jealous of how cool it was! They bring carafes -one regular and one spicy- and all the toppings, then fix it to your preference. After trying it, I can say it is also very delicious. My espresso martini was lovely and went great with the French toast! The french toast was made perfectly-- so light and fluffy yet so flavorful. Such a fabulous restaurant! read more

I had such a great experience! Our food really was delicious. The chicken, fish and famous gnocchi were amazing. Def recommend!

Honest constructive feedback for an upscale hotel restaurant..I was staying at an another nearby local hotel and decided to try the Americano..I went into this restaurant on Nov 24th at approximately 842 pm and sat at the nearly empty bar with the knowledge that their kitchen didn't close till 10pm, so I felt like I was being respectful of their time as I don't like to be that kind of patron placing a big order 10 minutes before the kitchen closes. When I sat at the bar, I did not feel very welcomed by the male bar tender who seemed annoyed I was there..maybe it was befause I was dressed business causal and wearing a hoodie and not a hotel guest which he seemed to scoff at when I informed him I would be paying by card for my meal and not charging to my room. I rarely saw him the rest of the night and he never came back to check on me. That being said the old fashioned was skillfully crafted so I do give him credit for the cocktail. Next I order my meal which was the steak and fries priced at $70 for a 14 oz New York strip and Parmesan fries. I don't mind paying a premium in a hotel for a good steak, and despite a good presentation the steak was extremely fatty and chewy and not edible. I totally get it may have just been a bad cut, so I let the other female bartender know since the the other guys left, the manager on duty did follow up with me to offer to exchange it for something else and I opted to the pork chop which was amazing. Though I will say the manager never checked in with me afterward to ask how my experience was or how my food was or anything. The only truly positive experience of the night was from Holly the only bar tender that seemed to care about my experience here and also crafted a memorable smoked ol fashioned for my final cockatail. Overall, I spent close to $130 for an entree and 3 cocktails, which is on par for an upscale restaurant like this, and I get it, food mistakes happen, but felt Americano could have provided a better experience to a outside guest who had no problem paying a premium for good food and services, and I felt both were lacking tonight. read more

I was soooooooooooooooo excited to try Scott Conant's, The Americano. However, it left a little to be desired. The menu was small I thought, but I don't need a lot of selections, it makes it too hard to decide lol. It's pricey and portions are of course, small but cute. We settled on: Bread for the table: which came with butter that looked like a round mold of spicy brown mustard. It didn't taste like mustard thankfully but had a smoked flavor and was very light and airy. Shrimp cocktail app: 4 jumbo shrimp cooked well and good flavor Scallops entree with corn, zucchini, and tomatoes: the veggies were good but the scallops were sooooooooooo salty they were inedible. Had to send them back. Side of wild mushrooms with jus: pretty good Blueberry cheesecake: I'm not a big dessert fan, but this was delicious. Not too sweet or heavy or rich like cheesecake can be, which I loved Raspberry gelato: was ok After the scallop debacle, our server Kat had the manager come over who offered to get us different entrees, but the wait for everything had already taken so long and we were too tired to wait for replacement entrees, so we decided to just get dessert which wouldn't take nearly as long, and it didn't. Kat did provide good service overall, it was just such an inexplicable long wait for seafood in a restaurant that had only 4 other tables besides ours filled. They did remove the two scallop entrees from our bill and Kat brought out a cute lil plate with bon bons which we also were not charged for. Overall, I would say they did make it right. So I hate to say this, but I will skip this restaurant the next time I'm in Atlanta. 6/10 read more

This was my first time at this location , we were running late Valentines weekend and they still were nice enough to accommodate us. We started with bread which was cool, my friend and I decided on the valentines for two. This meal came with the steak and two sides, we decided on the cream spinach and mashed potatoes. They also gave a class of free champagne for the night. Overall experience was a 8/10, server could've been more attentive. The ambiance was beautiful, definitely would go back to sit outside. Prime T-Bone Steak w. Alaskan Crab - 7/10 the steak was suppose to be medium rare but came out more medium well, but over all taste was great. Crab was okay, wasnt necessary but came with the meal, also was lowkey cold. Creamed Spinach - 10/10 it was probably the best thing we had that night. Mash Potatoes - 7/10 these tasted like any mashed purée you can find in the frozen section, not impressed. read more

If you're looking for a quiet, elevated dinner spot or hoping to celebrate your birthday, Americano is a great option. read more

Straight to the point. This is a nice classy restaurant for sure. Service was nice. As far as the food goes.. Bread service was ok we ordered both. The scallops, tuna crudo, tasted great. The shrimp needed to cook a bit more in there spice. Risotto was excellent the beef was tender and the sauce elevated the dish. Tagliatelle was nice could have used a little more butter to give it a richer finish. Here is where it went south.. fast. We ordered two Groupers. The groupers were both dry, and the brocoli rabe was awful. We also ordered two of the strips one medium rare and one medium. The medium rare was cooked nicely not perfect and the medium was overcooked. With that being said, both steaks were dry regardless. The last dish was the roasted half chicken. This chicken was cooked perfect but then just plated with its pairing that didn't blend at all together. The dessert Sunday board was really nice.. on the other hand the salted caramel was just a big mix of vanilla cream mixed with caramel to a pudding consistency with a nice caramel popcorn crunch. Basically to much caramel for my taste buds, it tasted much better after mixing some plain vanilla ice cream from the sunday board to balance it. In short if your in the mood for a nice glass of wine and pasta dish check it out.. leave the rest of the menu alone. Price point way to high for poorly cooked entrees. read more

My birthday experience was 10/10!! Great drinks, tasty food, had a reservation so no wait time but it seems like the restaurant was pretty available even without a reservation. There was live music and he paid attention to his crowd and made sure we all got a show! Will return! Lets remind everyone that the price was "downtown prices" so experience worthy but not an every sunday type of thing. read more

Like all my reviews, I'll start with... The Good Honestly... everything! The service, the food, the attentiveness of the staff. Wife had a roasted half chicken and I had the Australian wagyu. Wonderful! We had the salumi & cheese board for the appetizer. Excellent choices on the board and large enough for both of us. Augustus was our server and he was great. But really, everyone here was exceptional. The Bad Nothing. If I had one complaint, it's only that it is rather dim and difficult for my older eyes to read the menu. But that's it. read more

Ambience is beautiful. Food wasn't as good as I thought it should've been. Americano is an Italian Steakhouse so with that being said, the pasta lacked flavor. I've been to plenty of Italian steakhouses and this just didn't do it for me. I have the bolognese and my friends had the Campanella. They ended up sending theirs back bc it was overly saturated with oregano. Our waitress, Desiree was very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall: 7.5 Food: 6 Ambience: 8.5 Service: 9 read more

Food service and ambiance were all top notch here! Even the mashed potatoes were amazing. I loved it all!

Staying at the hotel on a quick business trip trip. Made a reservation in advance of coming. Reviews and pictures give the impression of a super high end restaurant with renowned Chef. Great ambiance and beautiful space. Food was very good, but not at my expectations based on "the pitch." Fritto Misto lacking in shrimp. Wedge Dalad a bit boring. Steak was very good and fries were a hit! 3 stars due to service. Most disappointing was the slow service, lack of attentiveness of server and staff. Had to repeatedly ask for things. The check was wrong. Just overall disjointed service. read more

The Americano Atlanta - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We were staying at the hotel where this restaurant was located and took advantage of the fact that this wonderful restaurant is only a few step away. First, the attached bar is beautiful and the drinks were prepared with care and exactly to our liking. The conversation was lively and had a chance to really enjoy the hospitality that this establishment offers. We were ready for dinner, so moved into the comfortable dining room. We had eaten here before and were familiar with the menu, but this night we were informed that the menu was changing the next day. Had to order out favorites but now look forward to trying out the new menu with a future visit. The staff members were friendly and attentive, the food was prepared perfectly and the ambience spectacular. As expected from out previous visits, the cost of dining was in line with high end restaurants, but as always, and given the quality it was actually quite reasonable. read more

Fritto Misto: 10/10 Caesar Salad: 5/10 - this was ...fine, tastes like a caesar salad Focaccia: 1/10 - this was not focaccia, this was a sad, dense, lump of bread with some pesto on top Gnocchi: 7/10 - pretty good! Could use more actual mushroom, and it was heavy on the truffle flavor, large serving, did not finish. Others got the campanelle and the salmon and said it was pretty good too, but nothing we got was special. Service: 10/10 Vibe: nice, quiet on a Thursday Verdict: would not return, would not recommend unless you were staying in hotel or nearby and it was convenient. Expected better. read more

While searching for a steakhouse in Buckhead, I stumbled across the Americano and made reservations. The Americano is located in the Intercontinental Hotel, and they offer valet or self parking that they said can be validated (note: they took $10 off self parking, still had to pay $5). The restaurant provides a dark, intimate vibe with a modern interior and the staff was great! The fritto misto and the focaccia were pretty ordinary and the NY steak was above average. The item off the menu I did really enjoy was the side potato pureé! Per head cost did end up being about $130/person read more

The Americano Atlanta - Way burger and Caesar salad - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

First time coming to The Americano. The interior is aesthetically beautiful. The cocktails were very tasty. We ordered the ribeye 30oz, puree potatoes, macaroni, and asparagus. The food was excellent. The macaroni was cooked to perfection. On the other hand, I don't think I will be returning based on the service. When we arrived, the hostess immediately addressed us with a dismissive attitude claiming that our reservation had been cancelled because she was (mistakenly) confident that we were over 15 minutes late. She later acknowledged that she was mistaken, but nonetheless a FRONT DESK server should not address customers that way - it could have been handled better. Then later, our server said jokingly to my fiancé that he looks old. I understand he said it jokingly, but I found the comment to be unnecessary. The food and ambience are great, but the service could be better. read more

It just so happened that I was in town the same night as Scott Conant. I love him, therefore I needed to dine at his restaurant and hope to meet him. The Americano is an elevated hotel restaurant. The bar was extremely busy, but the dining room only had about 10 guests. We were there for an earlier than usual dinner (the sun was just starting to set). I asked the staff at the host stand if Scott was around as a joke. They said yes! I could really see him in person? Very cool. Our server was just as nice and friendly as the hosts were. She said, "I heard you want to meet Scott?" Is this foreal? Yeah, it was...she said she would send him to our table. Fan girl activated. I ordered the meatball with the pasta al pomodoro. My date ordered the roasted half chicken. Scott came out. He is a beautiful man. He was wearing a dress shirt, jeans, an apron, and Jordans. And he was working the room. I actually thought he knew some of the diners, for how long he spent at each table. When he got to our table, we chatted and laughed, he asked what we ordered, we took photos. He is very gregarious. If you're still reading this "blog post" about my love for Scott Conant, I am impressed. ON TO THE FOOD! The roasted chicken was good. I wish I'd ordered that instead of the pomodoro. My pasta was terribly salty. The lack of salt from the meatball balanced it out. Scott surprised us and came back to our table to ask how the food was. I lied to him. This is my sad claim to fame. 5 stars for Scott Conant, 3 for the food, 4 for ambience. read more

The Americano Atlanta - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

EHHHH! I wanted to love this restaurant. It had been on my list of places to try for a while. And I don't know I guess I expected more... While the interior is beautifully decorated. The place is elegant. Romantic. Intricate. But the menu is very limited. Which is actually the biggest reason I probably won't return. We wanted something lite. So, we ordered mainly appetizers. We got Caesar salads, Tuna tartar and the polenta "cremosa". The Caesar salad is fire. Honestly, I love their take on a classic. Its literally the bougiest salad beside the Caesar at American Cut. The tartare was not for me. But that polenta was BOMB! OMG! I didn't know what to expect but it was delicious. Savory and full of goodness. The Fritto Misto this was a favorite, we could have gotten two order of this I wouldn't have been upset. I had the drunken wifey (their spin on a margarita) and I don't know I guess I thought I would drink it into existence because that is exactly what I was by the end of the night. The easiest parking is the valet at the Intercontinental, get your ticket stamped and it will cost you a whopping $7. And the valet is quick and efficient. read more

Was staying at the Intercontinental Buckhead and the daily resort fee included a $15 credit for The Americano so I had breakfast here one morning and dinner one night. Breakfast Room service had a 25% service charge plus a $5 delivery fee for anything you ordered which seemed hefty considering it appeared they also charged more for the menu items than dining in. I may be wrong on last point as I didn't have both menus to compare but my recollection was that the prices were less for in person dining. I thought it might be nice to dine in the restaurant anyway so I could refill water or coffee and not have plates in my room to take care of after. I ordered the breakfast plate which was 2 eggs your way, a meat option (bacon or sausage) and a piece of toast or fruit bowl. I opted for the fruit bowl. This didn't come with a beverage and a regular coffee was $4 and the breakfast plate was $18. If I recall the room service option of the same was $26 (included the coffee) prior to the delivery fee and service charge. The eggs and sausage were fine, nothing remarkable. The fruit bowl was more than I expected and definitely a better value than a piece of toast. The service was a bit lacking. On a positive note they left the water and coffee jugs on the table so I could refill myself. When the bill came, it included an 18% service charge which felt odd to me (it was just me and usually a forced tip is for larger parties) and had me googling whether a service charge was the same as gratuity or not since a separate tip line also existed. I ended up tipping a little more even though I was pretty sure it was one and the same despite the service not really warranting extra because leaving nothing didn't seem right if I was wrong. Dinner Dinner prices were that of a pricey steakhouse. Like $18 for a side salad. I ordered a pasta dish: tagliatelle bolognese. It was $36 before tax. The pasta was good and there was plenty of bolognese. I came hungry, ate it all and was overstuffed when I left so the portion was much more than it seemed at first glance. Oddly enough, there was no service charge listed when I got the bill so not sure how they decide when they will or won't include it on the bill. All in all, it was convenient since I was staying at the hotel and it was too cold to venture much farther. However, I don't think I would make an effort to eat there otherwise. It felt like they were priced for convenience and knowing they have a captive audience vs having a good product or service. read more
