BoccaLupo
Included In
BoccaLupo is an Italian-American restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere, outstanding food, and chill music that bounces from OutKast B-sides to nu jazz. It sits at the beginning of Inman Park, slightly hidden behind foliage. The restaurant’s sign, featuring a swirling noodle as part of the logo, doesn’t necessarily translate that this restaurant is in the top-tier of Atlanta dining. Although it’s an IYKYK-type place, the space is always booked and busy, so don't wait until the day of to book a reservation. Get the black spaghetti, our favorite here. The hot Calabrese sausage with red shrimp and scallions adds nuance to the dish. If you're on date, prepare your proud smize when the rum-based Broken Figurine hits the table, served in a literal figurine head. Yes, you are the cool kid who knows all the cool places.
