Pricci

BUCKHEAD. Sleek, stylish, and comforting, this upscale Italian restaurant is a fantastic destination for special nights and important events. The open kitchen (complete with woodburning oven) highlights the skill of the culinary team, although it never intrudes on the dining experience. The menu, which emphasizes rich, earthy flavors, features such dishes as sauteed baby lobster tails, char-grilled lamb chops, braised veal shank, and baked Mediterranean sea bass. You'll also find superbly done pastas, gnocchi, risottos and salads, savory appetizers, and crisp gourmet pizzas.
