Mezza Luna Trattoria

Muss & Turner’s Interior

Mezza Luna provides the taste and vibe of a corner cafe in Rome in the heart of Georgia. The dishes are inspired by traditional fare from Lazio and Puglia, and the chefs come with over 25 years experience to bring you a truly authentic – and delicious – dining experience. The best option for fresh pasta and seafood dishes. Forza!

Muss & Turner’s

Muss & Turner serves generous portions of a variety of chicken, pork, beef and seafood dishes that will give you plenty to ponder over, plus several vegetarian dishes. For aspiring sommeliers, head down on Tuesday evening for their wine tasting evenings.

On The Bayou

Rodney’s Jamaican Soul Food serves style and spice. Chef Rodney has created a menu that fuses Georgia with the Caribbean, with a wide selection of curried and jerk meats as well as salads, sandwiches and moreish cake and tarts. Regular events add to the good time.

Siam Square Thai Cuisine

Siam Square serves traditional Thai dishes, evoking the urban, hip and relaxed atmosphere of Thailand‘s capital, making diners feel like they are in the original Siam Square. The food is cooked in the traditional home style, and the friendly staff will happily give recommendations for the uninitiated, though Siam Square’s own curry and, of course, the Pad Thai come highly recommended. For vegetarians, there is a good selection of meat-free dishes, and for meat eaters most of the dishes come with a choice of chicken, pork, beef or shrimp. Beware of the dishes marked ‘very spicy’ as the heat definitely grows.

South City Kitchen Vinings

If you are looking for sophisticated dining in the Atlanta metro region, South City Kitchen Vinings is a must-visit destination. The restaurant specializes in giving traditional southern food a fine dining twist, and their ingenuity has earned them a number of accolades over the years. The restaurant’s interior is spacious, upscale and inviting, with the open exhibition kitchen and oversized bar offering the main focal points for visitors. There is plenty for southern food fanatics to savor over on the menu, with their award winning buttermilk fried chicken being a particular draw.

Zucca Bar & Pizzeria

Zucca Bar & Pizzeria is a mainstay on Smyrna’s bar and restaurant scene. It was founded by a trio of friends who met in a New York high school and had developed a secret recipe which was first given to them by a family friend. The menu consists of authentic, home-cooked Italian crowd pleasers. Each pizza is hand thrown and made to order using fresh ingredient, baked with a thin, brown crust in the Big Apple tradition. From their pizza to calzones, pasta and strombolis, you will quickly find yourself wanting to work your way through the whole menu.
