I had an excellent experience at this brunch spot on my first visit to Atlanta after moving from San Francisco. From the moment we arrived, the valet service made parking effortless, and the welcoming host set a warm tone for the entire visit. The entrance itself is stunning, with a great atmosphere that makes you excited for the meal ahead. Our server was incredibly vibrant and friendly, adding to the overall positive vibe of the restaurant. As for the food, everything we tried was delicious. We had the frittata, pimento cheese, salmon, chicken sausage, and collard greens—each dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The cocktails were also top-notch, complementing the meal wonderfully. It was a great start to our Atlanta brunch adventures, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a fantastic overall experience!

My wife and I went to Pendolino last night for an early dinner before going to a concert. We ordered drinks and then a buratta pizzette as an appetizer to split. After that we ordered a pasta dish, the gulf shrimp alla vodka, as an entree to split. Everything was great. My only complaint is my wife's first cocktail, a Mama Mia, came to our table much later than expected, but the rest of the food and drink items came fast. We've been to Pendolino several times and will be back soon.
