    Meatballs
    Brian L.

    I tried the pizza at Varasano's and thought it was pretty good overall. I liked the thin crust, and the toppings were solid. My only issue was the size -- the pizza felt a little small for the price. I also ordered the meatballs. They come in orders of two or four, and I got the two. They tasted good, but the meatballs were pretty small for the cost. The small salad was also fresh and good, but again, the portion felt a bit small. So overall, the food quality was good, but the portion sizes didn't really match the price in my opinion. Parking is convenient since there's a parking garage underneath the building, and they don't offer a military discount. This was a takeout order, so I might give them another try dining in. I'm curious if the portions -- especially the meatballs and salad -- would be a little more generous if you eat there.

    Caesar Salad
    Kemsey M.

    Very very great pizza! There is some parking in the deck behind but not a ton. You seat yourself when you walk in. But service was still quick! This was our first time so we went with some basics. Started with a Caesar salad which was very nice. But hard to mess up a Caesar! The pizza we decided to do half sausage with fennel and half capicola. Both were great! The pizza was a thin but with a nice crust. We saw a lot of other pizzas that looked great too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can see them making the pizzas and everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a good experience!

    This was my first time dining here. It's very accessible and in a good location. Parking is easy to access and free which is a huge plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We arrived around 4:30 pm on a Sunday and the dining room was quiet and fairly empty. By the time we left around 6, it got packed! Seems like a fun place to be on Sunday afternoons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice patio area that I'm sure if very fun in the warmer months.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pizza was tasty, but mine was a little cold when it arrived at the table. That is the reason for 4 stars. Will be delicious when I heat up my leftovers. Would still recommend and return for some good pizza.

    DELISH!!! I met up with some girlfriends here for dinner on a Tuesday and super easy to get a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a quaint little restaurant and the staff was super nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No drinks for us this evening but we got some appetizers and pizza. The garlic knit bites were delicious and super garlicky. We split 2 pizzas, the one with arugulas and the mushroom pizza which we added sausage to. Pizza was delicious and yummy and I thought it was well priced as well. Definitely delish!

    Margarita Pizza

    The food was sooooo fresh it was lol . I've never had a Caesar Salad dressing so fresh you can taste the anchovies. The pizzas are extremely thin and that is a very good thing . Quick tip , try two different kinds to get the full experience. The bartender was very informative and nice , she really helped us get the best experience. Definitely check this place out.

    Chica Bella Pizza
    Megha D.

    I've driven past this many times and finally decided to get dinner here with some friends on a Tuesday night! There's plenty of parking in the lot out front and we were seated immediately when we entered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are pretty casual but welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided to split garlic bites, the fontina mushroom pizza (which we added sausage to), and the Chica Bella which was ricotta and arugula based. For 3 of us, this was the perfect amount with a few leftovers! The garlic bites were delicious and buttery and the pizza had the right amount of bite. I loved the earthiness of the mushrooms and the chica bella was light and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, great, homey spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came here on a Tuesday. The pizza was soooo good. It's NY style with fresh ingredients. Free parking in a garage.

    Had a once in a lifetime experience doing their pizza tasting. Great food and conversation.

    Sweet peppers and half mushrooms pizza
    Nicole C.

    Came here for the first time and added sweet peppers and mushrooms to my pizza. I do like how thin the pizza crust is but thought the crust was a tad too thin for me. The pizza dough tasted nice and overall pizza was good but to be great I definitely felt it was lacking sauce and cheese, it needed more. If I come again I'd request those modifications. Service was excellent. The person that helped was Aout and she was lovely. Shot out to her!

    Owner making the pizza
    Hiba R.

    Had a girls night and tried their "Slice of Heaven" with the owner. Comes at $38/ person and is absolutely worth it. You try a bunch of pizzas that the knowledgeable owner comes up with on the spot. Everything was fresh and delicious. Their margherita is well awarded and I can confidently agree these are well deserved. We wished the owner would've gone through the flavors more, they were rather dished out one after another so we felt a little rushed between slices. Definitely voice this if you also feel this way. He was very accommodating to any dietary restrictions the party had, however there is a high likelihood of cross contamination because he wasn't changing gloves between the meats/veggies (I was a vegetarian). Also voice this if this is an issue for you.

    Caramelized Onion Pizza
    Alexandra R.

    New favorite pizza restaurant! They have a wide variety of pizza selections which is nice so you can try a few. They are thin crust and baked to perfection. Their caesar salad was really fresh and light. The service was fast and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside was nice with tvs and a full bar![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

It's amazing. Place looked like we time warped in all the best ways. It looked like it was straight outta a Sopranos episode. Staff is dressed to the nines. Customers too. Loved it. And the food, forgetta bout it. We went with our kiddos and had half the menu. All of us trying each others food. All of it amazing. With that, we made a point to act like it was 80-90s era and didn't use our phones, so no pics.

Valet is complimentary which is great and they provide directions for how to get in to the restaurant. The hostess was super nice and our table just needed a few minutes to get cleaned off. Once seated, we settled on a good bottle of Malbec to drink which was delicious. For an appetizer, we got the mussels which were probably some of the best mussels I have ever had using the bread to soak up the sauce was divine. Truly delicious. For the pasta, I got the the tortelli de vitello which was so good. Some of us at the table also tried the shrimp linguine which was delicious and so fresh as well as the chicken parm which was MASSIVE and came with a great side of pasta. We also tried the little pasta shells/ears with sausage and broccolini and it was delish. Truly these dishes were stunning and cannot wait to have it again! To wrap up the dinner, we got some coffees and the tiramisu... Which was delicious and as stunning as everyone says. Overall, this meal was divine. The vibes of the restaurant really bring it up because it is so calm and classic and just such a great place for a lovely meal. 10/10

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!
