A friend turned me onto this old school small local vibe Italian restaurant…read more It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a great place to grab some authentic homemade Italian. A bit off the beaten path and ponied up to a liquor store, this little gem is probably not a place I'd venture out to without a recommendation. And I'm so glad we had one. Great homemade pastas and other great Italian treats. Started off with some hot bread right out of the oven and then went for a caesar salad and a lovely gnocchi pasta from scratch..... delicious. The only thing I'd change is the caesar salad had way too much dressing. Everything else top notch. Including the service, which was fantastic.

This was a first impression visit- party of 8. I called for a reservation. Special occasion on a…read moresaturday night at 8PM. Located in a suite next to a package store. Free small parking lot in front. Free extra parking across the street. The total was about $150 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and a dessert. 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 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.

We were a group of 5 and that was pushing it so I'd definitely say no more than 5-6 people. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Just a heads up--this restaurant seems to be dog friendly. As a dog owner myself that is something I'd like to know but I understand the hesitation when you're sitting and eating next to a dog. However, doesn't take away from the cleanliness or the service of the restaurant. We ordered the Mezze trio as an appetizer. Everyone loved the hummus however my favorite was the red beet root. I also loved that they can refill the pita bread which went by quickly. Most of the table ordered the lamb skewers which I thought was a good. I'd give it an 8/10. I thought the flavors paired nicely and it was a different taste than the skewers I've ordered before. My brother ordered the salmon and he really enjoyed that. The service was nice however it did take at least 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a bummer. Definitely could see this being a nice, chill lunch or dinner spot.

I met a girlfriend for brunch and we had a great time! Parking is really annoying here so…read moredefinitely leave extra time - but it just is what it is in Marietta Square. The service was great - friendly and very patient with us as we chit chatted! The restaurant itself is beautiful! Really very chic! I tried the following: Kale Salad $16 Braised Beef Dip $17 Side of Aioli $0.50 Bee's Knees Bites $8 After my friend got her delicious burger and I took a bite of my husband's beef dip, I greatly regretted getting the salad! Haha! The kale salad was fine, but it was quite sad and not something I'd ever order again. The goat cheese balls on the top were the star. The beef dip was stellar! Really quite flavorful! There were some pieces in there that were wayyyyyy over done, but it really was just so good. I'd probably get it for my main next time I'm back! The goat cheese balls are a must. Just get them and pray you don't have to share! I could make a meal of them they are the perfect balance of crispy salty and sweet with the sauce! It's a great place for a little brunch with plenty to choose from!

Very poor experience overall: poor service, noisy atmosphere, expensive and bland drinks, tiny and…read moreexpensive apps, uninspired and bland main courses. Waited 20 minutes for our cocktails. The live music, which was not good and unnecessary considering there was a live concert outside, was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves think. The wait staff acted as if we were a chore the entire time. The entire experience was exhausting except for our dear friends whom we haven't seen in a while. Thank god they were there. If this is Marietta Proper, I'd hate to see what Marietta Common is. Yikes.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was my first time there. They do a seasonal Decor, Fall is Harry…read morePottery, Winter is "general christmas" this year. would I go back for a dinner? just to have a dinner out? probably not. That's just me, I'd definitely go if I wanted some appetizers and a few drinks with the girls though. It looks like it's a limited monthly menu, so it may change based on season? three of us got the burger, all agree, burger is good, the paprika aioli that came with my parm truffle fries had a bit of a kick, not heat, just a kick. my husbands Chicken dinner though? i think stole the show. it had a good flavor profile and the peanut sauce didn't kick your face in with peanut flavor. it was definitely Thai inspired, but...had a downhome kind of charm to it. Service was good, never had an empty water glass. Little bit of showmanship with the chicken dinner. our server slipped in and out to refill our waters without...being intrusive. So for what I went for? A bit of a family diner with the sister and brother in law? not the right atmosphere. it really is an amazing place to just go for cocktails I think though.

I don't want to go home and forget about this review but this place is way better than i expected…read morethousand times. My prompt to my gpt this morning included "family owned, cozy place, food that hugs you like a grandma after a long time away, etc" this is one of the best places I've been in USA so far. I also woke up idealizing to only try new things and no repeats but I've already ordered a second drink haha I absolutely don't want to leave. As soon as you walk in they greet you and help you out, then the bartender (I came by myself so I sat on the bar) approached me with the most warmth and helped me getting something according to her experience and taste but considering my taste and preferences. The food came (quick for how busy it is 12 min) The food tastes just like a grandmas food that she's been working the entire day on it. I can't wait to be back here. Also I didn't have anything the entire day and couldn't finish my plate because the amount of food is way more than decent. Place is clean, music is great and volume even better, you can see families bringing their babies to enjoy meals here. Also everyone that works here and so nice and polite even if they're not serving you this is my favorite place from now on and I will not shut about it haha adding a picture of my drink (which we are repeating ) and plate that I'll be bringing the leftover home

My new favorite wine shop! After having a hard time finding a specific north Georgia wine around…read morethe Helen area, we decided to try "the big city" on our drive back to Florida on July 4th. We came across this shop doing an online search. Gave them a call and spoke to Karen, who told me they did have the wine we were looking for, but they were going to be closed most of the day, but would stick around for another hour to wait for us (!). Arriving at the store, there was a note to call Karen, and a cute Springer Spaniel staring at us through the door (!). Karen and Randall were at the store in a matter of minutes. In addition to the elusive wine we were looking for, they gave us some great suggestions on others. They were so accommodating, despite being closed for the day; they even gave us tastings (!). From talking with them and checking out their website, they also do a lot of neat community focused events. These are the types of businesses that should be frequented so they can thrive!

We ordered quite a few dishes, including: * Manchego Stuffed Dates Wrapped with Bacon * Spanish Style Mac + Cheese * Gambas al Ajillo * Pinchos * Spanish Olives and Marcona Almonds * Pan Con Tomate Everything was beautifully presented, but unfortunately most of the food was underseasoned and a bit underwhelming. The desserts, though, were the stars of the meal. The churros, crème brûlée cheesecake, and especially the toffee cake with ice cream were all fantastic. The toffee cake was absolutely mind-blowing. We'd happily come back for the desserts, location, and the hospitality.

(I'll spare you the details, I'll give them their own review.) So I searched where else I could go and this lovely place was sitting right next-door. We were greeted by Nick when we walked in, and he was so welcoming and so cordial. We chose to sit at the bar because we just love sitting at a bar and talking with the bartender. We met Brittney at the bar and she was completely delightful! (they had no idea of difference they were making in our dinner date!) FRIED GREEN TOMATOES... do not miss these. The fried chicken and collards dish... It's signature! Do yourself a favor and order that. The drinks were lovely. I can't remember what all we ordered. And then in the end, the butter cake. Absolutely don't miss this one! If you find yourself at the restaurant next-door, and you have the opportunity... Slip out and go to South city kitchen!

A very nice place for modern southern cuisine with exceptional service!…read more I went for dinner and the first impression I had was that the interior is very nice with good music, really suitable for a relaxing happy hour or an elevated casual dinner. Barton was my waiter and he was very friendly and thoughtful, paid attention to details, and checked in often, making the experience really great They give you free biscuits, cornbread, and butter which are pretty good, I devoured them. Very nice touch and made the whole experience elevated as well. For food, I ordered the blackberry nogrito, crab cakes, and shrimp and grits. The blackberry nogrito was very good but quite sweet, it came off as a blackberry mint mocktail similar to a mojito but the syrup flavor was a bit strong. The crab cake appetizer was delicious, probably my favorite thing! It was huge and the flavor was strong but not overpowering or heavy, which made for a really nice appetizer! It came with a mayo like sauce and was on a bed of corn for some flavor variety, but really enjoyed the crab cake. It also came out PIPING hot and was very enjoyable. The shrimp and grits came with a Smokey almost gumbo like sauce, kind of like a Cajun take on shrimp and grits. It was filled with shrimp that was very bouncy (not overcooked!), smoked ham/sausage, and was very generous on the sauce and grits. Was very enjoyable. Will definitely come back for the exceptional service and good food!
