Growing up in a large Italian NY family has exposed me to some of the best food on the planet. Since I moved to Atlanta I never thought I'd be able to experience that same homemade goodness until I found Zola's. (Sorry Momma) I was first introduced to this restaurant through my Sicilian born boss, who dines there at least 3 nights a week, and I have been hooked ever since! On a typical night, we start out with a glass of wine from their comprehensive wine list, and then move into a delicious appetizer. My personal favorite is the Olive Tapenade. There is never a shortage of freshness or variety, as specials change frequently due to the seasonality of ingredients. Of course, the core menu is rock solid and has never disappointed.\r

The only negative, if there is one, is that they only serve beer and wine due to the limitations on their liquor license, but with a wine list like that who needs liquor!
