di Paolo

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Neighborhood Gem with Over 25 Years of Italian Tradition

Established in 1995, di Paolo has earned its place as one of the most respected and well-regarded restaurants in the Atlanta area. Tucked just minutes from the city in a warm neighborhood setting, this intimate dining destination has spent more than a quarter century bringing the soul of Northern Italian cuisine to Peachtree Corners — one handcrafted plate at a time.

The Heart of the Kitchen

At di Paolo, the kitchen is both stage and sanctuary. A wood-burning oven fills the dining room with irresistible Italian aromas, while an open kitchen invites guests into the craft behind every dish. Mozzarella is made on the premises daily, and all pastas are hand-made each morning — a testament to the kitchen's unwavering commitment to authenticity and freshness. The menu changes seasonally to reflect the finest and ripest ingredients available, ensuring every visit offers something new to discover.

Northern Italian Cuisine at Its Finest

The menu reads like a love letter to Italy's northern regions. Begin with Piccoli Piatti — seasonal small plates inspired by Italian tapas — featuring sapelo clams in white wine or spicy pomodoro, and steamed P.E.I. mussels with zucchini, pesto, and ciabatta. Housemade pastas range from a classic bolognese lasagna layered with ricotta and bechamela to potato gnocchi enriched with gorgonzola, goat cheese, asiago, and truffle oil. Secondi showcase Northern Italian cuisine at its most elegant: a bone-in veal chop with creamed spinach and mushroom-demi glace, or pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto with fontina, rapini, and lemon.

An Award-Winning Wine Experience

Completing the Italian table is a carefully curated wine list that earned di Paolo the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2017. Guests can explore an extensive selection of Italian varietals — from Barolo and Nebbiolo to Super Tuscans and Chianti Riserva — alongside thoughtfully chosen international bottles, each chosen to complement the cuisine with elegance and depth.

Intimate Atmosphere, Faultless Hospitality

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring a long weeknight dinner, di Paolo offers the rare combination of refined Northern Italian cuisine and genuinely welcoming service — an experience that has kept guests returning for decades.
