The story
Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant sits along Atlanta Highway in Alpharetta, Georgia, offering dinner in a setting that takes both food and wine seriously. The name — "new house" in Italian — suggests a place where guests are expected to feel at home, and the restaurant's reputation backs that up.
In 2023, Wine Spectator granted Casa Nuova its Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for restaurants that demonstrate genuine commitment to building and presenting a wine list worthy of the table. For an Italian restaurant, where the relationship between regional cooking and regional wine is inseparable, that kind of recognition carries real weight. It signals that the list goes beyond the obvious pours and reflects thoughtful curation.
Located just north of Atlanta in the Alpharetta corridor, Casa Nuova draws diners looking for Italian cuisine done with care rather than convenience. Whether you're coming for a weeknight dinner or a longer, wine-driven evening, the Wine Spectator nod is a reliable indicator of what to expect at the table.
