BoccaLupo

We had a dinner reservation for a party of 4 at 7:45 pm on Thursday, 9/8/22. Apparently cars in their parking lot get broken into a lot, so I parked on the street and it was fine. Parking is free. Nice ambiance. Dim lighting. We sat on the closed patio and while they had a fan, it was still super hot. The portions for the price just wasn’t worth it to me. Here’s what I tried: - Burrata with Heirloom Tomato, Compressed Watermelon & Flatbread ($16): This was good, but the presentation felt sloppy. I wish the burrata had come as one big piece. - Roman Fried Cauliflower ($14): Fine. - Mafaldine “Cacio e Pepe” ($25): For a dish with black truffle, it just didn’t have that much flavor! Disappointing. - Goat Cheese Mezzaluna ($23): Fine, but nothing special. - Short Rib Filled Tortelloni ($28): This was my favorite out of all 3 main dishes. It had the most flavor. We’d all heard good things about BoccaLupo, but sadly, it didn’t live up to the hype.

Fantastic Italian food in a relaxed setting. Great for a date night. We ordered a kimchi martini, fried chicken pasta, and goat cheese sausage penne and loved everything.

The restaurant is a good one. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and friendly, and the food taste good. But, the issue is the food just taste good. Nothing about the food wow-ed us at all. Nothing stood out as something we had to have again. This place is good, but there are wow Italian restaurants in Atlanta, and this isn't one of them.
