Amazing good. It is kind of strange to get into because it is inside an apartment building but uniquely cool. Service is amazing.

About the restaurant

“Alici” may be the Italian word for anchovies, but the focus at this suave seafood-themed ristorante from Pat Pascarella (of Bastone and Grana) is on oysters — 5 or 7 varieties a day — and on a variety of fish cooked in southern Italian fashion.

About the restaurant

Welcome to YEPPA & Co.! Named for a verbal exclamation expressing joy and excitement. Created by the minds behind Storico Fresco and Forza Storico, our menu draws inspiration from the sun-kissed coastal city of Rimini in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, nestled along the Adriatic Sea. Picture a culinary journey featuring cured meats and cheeses, grilled skewers, seafood dishes, focaccia pizza and panini, as well as hearty house-made pastas. Rev up the excitement in our F1-themed space, where Italian-inspired cocktails flow and the adrenaline of F1 races fills the air. Join us, and let's find YEPPA together!

My first visit at Yeppa with Chi was amazing. Chi treated my friend and I so well. He sold every recommendation he made and they were solid choices. My friend and I ended up ordering the same exact things because neither of us wanted to miss out and share! We both got Perdigiorno zero proof drinks with our Strozzapreti pasta. We split the La Nutella for dessert. We had a lot of other options, Chi answered all of our questions patiently and generously. Dinner and service did not disappoint! We got parking validated at the host stand!

About the restaurant

Storico Fresco has now fully morphed into a true Italian Alimentari e Ristorante that started in a basement in Atlanta …

We had a dream to bring traditional and nearly lost Italian dishes to Atlanta. The result: Storico Fresco Alimentari, quite simply an Italian grocery store and restaurant in one. We’ve gone beyond and created a true Italian experience for you to enjoy. We use locally sourced ingredients to craft our authentic dishes.
