Storico Fresco Alimentari

Located in a chic Buckhead shopping center, the vibe is rustic and convivial. The generously sized dining room boasts cement flooring, metal-framed wood seating and open shelving, while the ample sidewalk seating provides an al fresco perch to enjoy a sbagliato or espresso martini. Pasta is the thing here with a concise offering of house-made strands, as well as stuffed and baked preparations. The cacio e pepe is a nicely portioned mound of spaghetti alla chitarra tossed with a creamy pecorino cheese sauce hit with coarse-ground toasted Sarawak peppercorn. The lunch menu offers appetizers, salads, pasta and focaccia sandwiches; while dinner drops the sandwiches and adds secondi like fried lemon-rosemary brined chicken with smoked mozzarella and spicy broccoli rabe.
