Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Rome

The pork chops were great. It was a comfortable atmosphere. Perfect place for a special dinner.

As always the chargrilled oysters were divine ! Seafood gumbo delicious !! I got th grilled scallops and subbed risotto for the potatoes and got a 5.00 up charge . Thought that was excessive as Arborio rice is pretty cheap . M husband had the flounder also delicious .

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at South City Kitchen on October 28, and I wanted to express how much this restaurant and its wonderful staff mean to us. Since moving to Atlanta in 2016, we've celebrated eight anniversaries at South City Kitchen. It has become one of our most cherished traditions, and this year was particularly meaningful. I was recently diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of blood cancer. The restaurant knew about my diagnosis and that, with treatment ahead, I wasn't sure when I would be able to return. With everything on my mind, I completely forgot to arrange my wife's traditional anniversary dessert featuring strawberries, which she absolutely loves. But somehow, even though we hadn't visited in six months, the staff remembered and made sure she received a special surprise. That simple act of thoughtfulness meant more to me than they could possibly know. Our server, Olivia, was absolutely fantastic! Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an already special evening extraordinary. And the food? Quite simply, excellent as usual What makes South City Kitchen exceptional isn't just the outstanding food. It's the people, the relationships they build, and the way they make guests feel like family. This is what true hospitality should look like. As I begin my journey through cancer treatment and prepare for a possible bone marrow transplant, I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to return. But I can tell you this: I genuinely look forward to getting healthy and returning to South City Kitchen for another anniversary dinner. To Olivia, the management, the chefs, and the entire team: Thank you for giving my wife and me a beautiful memory during one of the most challenging times of our lives. You reminded us that sometimes the smallest gestures leave the biggest impressions.

We were thrilled with Crispina's new location. It was roomy, light and inviting. Food was great as always. I enjoyed the arugula salad and a delectable cacio e pepe. Service was friendly and informative and thanks to our waiter we made our 6:30 p.m. movie with time to spare. Highly recommend!
