BoccaLupo

BoccaLupo offers high quality Italian dishes in a small and intimate setting. The is the place to go for date night, a special celebration or otherwise. The space is very small, dark, and friendly. Most tables are for parties of two, with a bar and some additional seating as well. The service is fantastic, expedient, and personable. My waiter, albeit I forget his name, was fantastic at constantly checking on tables, and making sure everybody is getting what they need. But we want to know about the food. I wanted to order their 4 course tasting menu option, but it was already sold out for the day. Instead I ordered the blue fin Tuna crudo with crispy rice, and corn and crab risotto. The crudo was very good. Fish was fresh and all the flavors worked well together here. The rice was very salty, tasted like fried rice from a hibachi place. The risotto was good as well. Very greasy and salty. I would not order it again, too greasy for my taste. I want to rewrite my review after I get the opportunity to try out the tasting course at some point, but for now, 3/5.

4.2 | this place has a Michelin Award for cocktail service and I thought this was a very unique menu and way of curating intrigue. I had a cocktail with cachaça which often is a flop anywhere outside of Brazil for me, but this one was so well executed. the entree [lamb ravioli dish] and the ceviché was super delicious. I had no notes. it’s a bit of a long wait without a reservation so I highly suggest making one. the ambiance to me felt like an upscale bar in a crowded city. I like that vibe, but some may not. went for the cocktails but also surprisingly enjoyed the food just as much!

Truly exceptional food and attentive service. One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. All of our courses we're phenomenal. Can't recommend this restaurant enough. Will be returning very soon!

We have been consistently eating at BoccaLupo over the last four years, when visiting my son at college. We thought the food was wonderful, and the service attentive. In advance of graduation I booked for 4 (maximum amount allowed online) then called 3x trying to increase the party size by one to accommodate my family of 5. My calls (and email) were never returned. When I finally got someone in person, they were rude and unhelpful. Removing it from list of restaurants I recommend to Emory parents.
