    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.

    Meatballs and Caesar Salad
    Brittany W.

    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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    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.

    This drink had the word "trouble" in it, that's all I recall!

    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.

    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

    Ceaser salad & meatballs
    Natasha W.

    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.

    Drinks!

    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.

    Pomodora cocktail and yes that's a tomato
    Natasha D.

    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.

    French toast
    Monica C.

    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!

    Pork chop
    Travis S.

    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.

    Blueberry compote cheesecake
    K B.

    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

    Meatball pomodoro
    Joy A.

    Love this place! Though a bit pricey, they make sure your experience matches. Katlyn was an amazing server, very attentive and friendly, offering great suggestions throughout. The food was good! Ive had the half chicken and this time I tried the meatballs, calamari, etc. All good! Drinks are good too. If you're looking for a quiet, elevated dinner spot or hoping to celebrate your birthday, Americano is a great option.

Cons The establishment is intimate so I do not think it would ideal for extra large parties. I had a party of 8 at 8PM but I dont know if they could have accomodated us if it was any earlier during prime dinner time. I wish they had a better parking situation but its not bad and its free. Would I Recommend: Absolutely! I will be returning! No complaints. Follow me here on Yelp and @jessreviewss on Tik Tok/Instagram for more.

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.

    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!!!!

    No. 246 is a gem in downtown Decatur. What started as a solo dinner at the bar after a long day…read moreturned into a pleasant evening with the attention of the bar staff - particularly Linda! After expressing that I was open to any variety of dishes, in hopes of venturing out from my "usual" of chicken parmigiana, Linda made several very thoughtful recommendations. I enjoyed the light flavors of the Agnolotti pasta, and the richness of the Marsala chicken. I am personally not a huge fan of mushroom taste, but the dish was not mushroom forward at all and the Marsala sauce was perfect. I also tried the cannellini beans after both Linda and her counterparts insisted that it's the most underrated dish on the menu and there were absolutely correct! I could have eaten the beans as my main dish and been perfectly happy. I finished it all off with the tiramisu, which was the perfect balance of sweetness and a very authentic taste about it! Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don't eat leftovers, but I reheated my leftovers on the stove and it was just as great as the night before - making the dishes well worth their value! The restaurant has a very quiet and respectable ambiance. The bar is inviting, while the seating area offers both group or family style dinner tables or more intimate tables tucked away. I can't thank Linda enough for the hospitality and recommendations. I'll be back, sooner rather than later, to keep exploring the menu!

    Finally got around to trying this place after it was recommended to me multiple times since 2021. I…read moredon't know why it took me so long to this place is worth it. The service was 10/10. The ambiance is cute. The bread service is some of the best I've ever had. And the cocktails are fire. Had the lemon chicken at the advice of our waitress and it was incredible. The pasta was great. Cesar salad solid. Wine list strong. Can't say enough.
