Eater Atlanta refreshed its guide to notable pasta around town, including BoccaLupo in Edgewood, A Mano in Old Fourth Ward, Lyla Lila in Midtown, La Grotta in Buckhead, Pendolino in Sandy Springs and Osteria Mattone in Roswell. This is not a breaking-news story; it is a useful decision aid.
For a Buckhead-based dinner, La Grotta offers an established, special-occasion option. For something more adventurous, BoccaLupo’s black spaghetti and tagliatelle are signature draws. Lyla Lila’s duck lasagna is another reason to look beyond a generic Italian menu. Restaurant hours, menus and reservation options can change, so confirm directly before heading out.
Do this: save two places—one convenient and one worth driving for—so the next 'where should we eat?' question has an answer.
