SAVE YOUR MONEY OR GO HUNGRY
Excellent

I have no idea where the negative reports come from. I live in California and travel a lot for business. Where ever I go I seek the local family owned Italian restaurants in that area. La Famiglia is by far my favorite in the country. The food is excellent, the service is great and I feel like I was there yesterday every time I show, which is only 3-4 times a year. The veal parmesan I crave as soon as I get on the flight from LA. Try this place, you will not be disappointed and a great value as well. Can not wait for my next trip to Atlanta!
Decent Food, Really Bad Everything Else...
by darlingmusic
In over 15 years of living in Marietta I have eaten here twice. My wife and I gave it a shot tonight after a 10 year break. At 6:30PM place had only one other table and they sat us right next to their table. Nice. Menu is 2 pages and has just the same old basic Italian items with no pizza, calzones, etc... Bread is light and dry. Salad was basic. Meal was decent, but not worth the $45 bill for a quick Tuesday night meal. Our server was nice.
The first page of the menu is really random. You are greeted with a rebuke and warning from the owner. Basically they take 3 paragraphs to tell you to NEVER bring your kids there... Which is really funny because the restaurant is called THE FAMILY!!!! There is also a big sign on the menu that says NO AMEX. That's too bad because business people use AMEX all the time and spend more on average that other credit card users.
The ceiling has lots of stains and looks like really bad. The chairs are $12 20 year old chairs from Sam's club. From a distance the vibe seems romantic but once you are inside the dining room is just old. Lots of seniors dining here...
Seems like some of these legacy restaurants on the square (shillings etc...) are living off of old reputations and getting lazy.
Worst place in the world
by honest consumer
STAY AWAY! THIS IS THE WORST PLACE EVER. THE OWNER DEBBIE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
- Pros: THERE ARE NO PROS AT ALL
- Cons: THIS PLACE IS A CON
Overall Bad Experience
by cksu10
Very simply, the food was below average, and the owner was very rude to us for complaining about an obscure added charge to our checks. Four of the ten people in our party became ill with stomach aches shortly after dining here.
Bottom line: there are far too many GOOD Italian restaurants in this area to risk dining at this one.
- Pros: none
- Cons: bad attitudes, below average food
