Beware...don't question them or complain! Actually, the meal we had was decent. BUT, for us, a dining experience is more than the food alone. We have eaten at this restaurant twice, and both times the management/owner has significantly lacked in customer service skills. On our most recent visit, we voiced a concern about an item on our bill and the owner ARGUED with us about it. To me, this is not acceptable. Quite obviously there a...

Best of Alpharetta for Italian and rivals anything else in the ATL We come to Di Paolo often on Sundays for their half off wine feature. The wine list is wonderful, and now with the new GA law, you can order a few bottles take them home with you, so you can start with a glass of white and red and then have them at home too! The service has always been impeccable and the food a cut above any Italian restaurant I have been to in Georgia. And really, the price is r... Read More On Citysearchdegustation 8/28/2008
Good Food....Too Noisy! I've always had very good food at this restaurant. Lamb shanks are especially delicious. My only complaint is that the noise level is so high you cannot talk to the person at the table with you and it's even difficult to hear the waiter. Still, I've returned several times and the food is consistently good. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/23/2008
Not worth the drive! Do not believe the hype! After dining at Sotto Sotto and Allegro recently, we decided to take the drive out to Di Paolo. I do not know what are all the raves are about? First, the bread tasted days old in bin they store it in. Oh, who has their hands in the bread basket? It seems all the servers do by sticking their hands in there. The pastas are ok at best but nothing to drive out of the way to... Read More On Citysearchwisk 5/9/2008
Authentic, carefully crafted cuisine - consistently delivered OK, so it looks like they don't exactly need another raving review, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents worth - this place is fantastic! It's a favorite of ours, so we've had plenty of experience with it, and actually have never had a bad meal there! From signature salads to homemade pastas to artful desserts, every dish seems designed to delight in taste, texture, beauty, etc. The wine list is a... Read More On Citysearchjmsilver 1/10/2008
My Favorite Italian! No One Tops This Place! This is the best Italian in the city, by far. Nothing outside of the motherland itself has ever beat this place for me. If you've not been, it is a must try. Just make reservations first! Every dish is amazing and the service can't be beat. I've never been disappointed and I've been here numerous times. My husband and I don't very close, but it is always worth the drive. Just about everyth... Read More On Citysearchhbfrog 3/26/2007
Great Food! Closes too early, like everything in the suburbs. This place has the food, they have half of the atmosphere. An amazing painting sets the mood but the floral apholstered seating ruins it. What can you expect from Alpharetta? If you took that painting and the chef and moved this place to a warehouse in cabbagetown you would need a reservation months ahead. I wish this very thing would happen. It's wasted where it is with a dull crowd and dowdy ta... Read More On Citysearchreneeextensiondiva 11/14/2006
Good, Authentic Italian, but noisy Good food and creative, authentic menu. I read that this has been the top-rated Italian restaurant in Zagat for the past several years. It's a challenge to find so make sure you check out an online map before you come. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at di Paolo on a recent Sunday night. The restaurant is nicely decorated, but falls short of 'romantic' because of the noise level. The bac... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/4/2006
1st time success I've found it VERY difficult to find decent food in N. Fulton but this place is pretty good...Seems like N. Fulton has a couple decent Italian places... Read More On Citysearchjeba 9/8/2006
This is a favorite of mine This restaurant is tucked in an old strip mall. Itisahidden gem. The food is so creative and wonderful. It is Italian but in an elegant and creative way. They change the manu seasonally. The atmosphere isvery romantic but I have also gone here with the girls. Not real child friendly.
PROS: Awesome food, great service
CONS: Pricey $$$ but worth it Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 6/2/2006
The Absolute Best Italian in the City! If you are looking for Italian beyond spaghetti, meatballs and marinara sauce, you will be blow away by this place! I've been numerous times and have nothing but superb things to say. Service is top-notch and food is to die for. If you've never had authentic, NORTHERN Italian cuisine you must try! It's the best thing outside the country itself. The chef is talented and extremely creative, an... Read More On Citysearchjessicajflowers 5/1/2006
Class act If you want great food and service, this is your place. I've dined at establishments that charge three times the price and have not been half as satisfied. Solid wine list, outstanding food, and very good service. If you are seasoned dining pros, you won't be disappointed. Read More On Citysearchmchadjackson 11/19/2005
What an Excellent Restaurant! We went here last weekend, and it was superb! This is such an excellent Italian restaurant in a neighborhood setting. The service was faultless, and the food was by far the best in the Southeast. If you want AUTHENTIC Italian cuisine, di Paolo is the place to go! Read More On Citysearchrent017 9/17/2005
'Burbs Are Coming Up! An in-townerm, I ventured a bit 'OTP' for Di Paolo's and it was very well worth it! On a busy Sat. night with reservations, we still had to wait about 15 minutes. But from that point on, it was great. Delicious and inventive dishes - as well as some traditional bites - and the Secondi option of half-portion pastas made for a great appetizer. Service was attentive and helpful and an overall wo... Read More On Citysearchjanker 2/14/2005
Mr. Different from most traditional Italian restaurants with very unique selections as well as not overwhling to the palate. Excellent Read More On Citysearchjim_feely 8/31/2004
More than just a meal! When I dine out, I want to do it right, and Di Paolo knows how to deliver a complete experience. We went for the wine (and their recommendation was perfection) but it was the great food that impressed us more with every course. One night and they have been engraved on my top 10 list.

Classy Italian in the Burbs I have never been dissapointed at Di Paolo. There is always something new to try, but they keep the favorites too. Probably one of the best Italian places if not the best in Georgia. Just make sure your full party is there or they won't seat you! Read More On Citysearchkbuzun 8/23/2002
