SOTTO SOTTO
313 North Highland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307
The sleek and chic space at Sotto Sotto portends both the superior food and the coolness of the service. If you are willing to overlook a staff that may or may not care about your experience, the fare is worth the trip. Sotto Sotto offers the city’s only perfect risotto; Risotto Mantecato–with caramelized onions and aged balsamic–is divine. Other menu favorites include the seared scallop starter and the whole roasted fish. Be sure to save room for dessert; the chocolate soup is the love child of creamy hot cocoa and a melted candy bar.

LA TAVOLA TRATTORIA
992 Virginia Ave, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30306

La Tavola is a refreshing look at Italian cuisine, reminding the diner that there’s more to this complex cuisine than spaghetti and meatballs. Featuring dishes typical of Southern Italy, the menu offers both light dishes like swordfish picatta and rich favorites like manicotti with beef, veal and pancetta. In addition to their dinner menu, La Tavola also has an Italian-inspired Sunday brunch, which is a coveted commodity in Intown neighborhoods. Egg “cannelloni” and frittata exemplify this Fifth Group restaurant’s creative mix of quotidian brunch and Italian elements. At any meal, be sure to save room for any of their dolci offerings, as they are all house made and the perfect ending to your experience.
