The Scene – Everything about this Italian mainstay screams charm: The cozy bungalow location just out of range of Buckhead hubbub; wooden beams that warm the dining room of white-clothed tables; feisty, yet gracious, servers full of opinions. Ringleader and head charmer Marco Betti, whose family also owns a restaurant of the same name in Tuscany, knows how to ease diners into the mood for a relaxed pace meal. – – The Food – The menu doesn't vary much with the seasons, but there's always something that fits the weather. During the chilly months, robust osso buco…

A-Lister Hang Out
by ATLDiner
This quaint House from the 20's located in Buckhead hosts Hollywood A-listers and Top Executives from all over. I saw Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher on thier 3rd trip to antica posta in a week. Tom Seleck is a regular, as well as most of the CNN executives and Anchors, Just to mention a few. This is a great Atlanta secret that takes the Atliens across to the Atlantic to a house in Tuscany where they get the best of home cooked Italian Meals. I have also heard of Jermain Dupree and Janet Jackson frequenting there. Wine list is amazing. Reserves by the glass include Luce and Tignanello. Everything from the Ravioli with tuscan meat sauce to the Gellatos and Sorbettos are made by this team of outstanding Italian Chefs lead by the Owners Brother Chef Alessandro.
- Pros: Best Italian Food in Atlanta!
- Cons: Owner is Crazy

Won't be back
by Yallis
Terrible service. 2 and 1/2 hours for dinner. No desert. Waiter did not come back after entree was delivered. Food was bad, bad bad. When we spoke to the owner he basically said Sorry but too bad,Very pompous.
I doubt they will be there long. Most uncomfortable chairs on earth.

Great food - but was offended
by squideast
I dine here from time to time, as the food is well worth it. But I have to agree with some other reviewers' comments regarding the owner. My first experience here was several years back on a date. My date was in the restaurant business and friends with the owner. The owner sat to chat with us for a while...and, well, here's a little history. Much like there's a bit of a yankee versus southern "red" battle here in the US (the site won't let me type red .n.e.c.k.), there's a north versus south issue in Italy. Upon learning that my family is from southern Italy, the owner essentially scoffed at me as if I were red. That said...food is great - owner has no class.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Not so great owner
