Best Authentic Restaurants in Candler-McAfee

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious and the menu is extensive, there are so many choices. We always share a bunch of cold dips / mezzes and hot mezzes and larger plates. The fish is always flavorful and well-cooked. And little details are on point - like comfortable chairs. The atmosphere is also quieter, this is a place you can have a conversation! Recommended.

Absolutely impeccable service and food as always! The ambience and decor is over the top and absolutely beautiful. Everything from the drinks to the desserts were perfect as always! Special shout out to Carson and Camilo for always making us feel so special. I can’t wait to be back again!

We had a fantastic time. The server was awesome. The server made great suggestions. We will definitely be back.

This special long-standing neighborhood trattoria is such a wonderful friendly positive experience—especially on the dismal rainy night I are there this Monday evening. I was alone, but the caring service and happy atmosphere of neighborhood patrons made me feel so welcome and part of the dining experience. Atlanta is a town of many fine start-up restaurants—but sadly a lot are gone within a year or more. Tavola has offered a VERY fine dining experience for years now—and a true welcome to the diner who cares about great Italian food—for Atlanta’s intown inhabitants (and not a few from outside the locale who remember what special place it is). And don’t think just because they’ve been around for many years they don’t still offer new exciting Italian dishes regularly. I had a Malfadine Al Nero dish that was superb! We are so fortunate to have this restaurant in Virginia Highlands!! (And I’m going back next Monday to try another dish!)

Our family picked Amalfi Cucina in downtown Atlanta because it came up as an Italian option on Open Table app. It was a fantastic find and great food, service and all around great experience.
