Capolinea is Atlanta’s ode to Italian fine dining, and named one of the best places to eat near Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena. A haven for locals and travelers alike, it’s where timeless flavors meet modern indulgence.

Begin your evening with our captivating tableside martini service or sip on cocktails inspired by the spirit and style of Italy. From rich, hand-rolled pastas to expertly grilled steaks, each dish is a tribute to culinary craftsmanship. And for the grand finale, our pastry team presents desserts that are as artful as they are irresistible.

Our attentive restaurant staff strives to deliver service excellence for all special occasions, from birthdays to anniversaries to promotions and engagements. Plus, we're one of the few downtown Atlanta restaurants with a private dining room which seats around 25 guests.

    What a great experience! From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out. The ambiance, the dishes, the cocktails, the wine, the service, the hospitality were all perfect. Wonderful dining experience for my birthday. Highly suggest. Can’t go wrong with the wagyu filet or Seabass.

    My husband and I enjoyed an early dinner at Capolinea before a concert at State Farm Arena, and it was the perfect start to our anniversary celebration. We chose it for its excellent online reviews and proximity to the venue — and it exceeded our expectations. We started with the Pane E Burro and the Polpetti De Capolinea, both recommended by our server and both outstanding. The chef also treated us to an amuse bouche that was simply divine. The tableside martini service by Ian was spectacular — a real highlight of the evening. Our server was exceptional throughout, and when we return, we'll definitely request him. A memorable meal and wonderful service — highly recommend for a special occasion.
    CapolineaResponded on October 26, 2026
    Dear Molly, Happy anniversary! We are so glad you chose to celebrate at Capolinea before a concert in Atlanta. It is wonderful to know that everything, from the tableside martini service to the friendly service, allowed you to relax and savor a memorable dining experience. Thank you for your kind words, and please come back soon.

    The Skyfall cocktail was a well balanced drink with a very lovely presentation. We also ordered a Sweet Deception and added vodka, as recommended by our waiter. It was sweet and smooth, and we were pleased to see a craft ice cube in the drink as well. We ordered the Pane E Burro to start the meal. The focaccia was especially impressive and we also enjoyed the sourdough with the Calabrian chili butter. I can’t say enough good things about the Spaghettei Al Nero Di Seppia. The squid ink pasta was perfectly al dente and all seafood was cooked to perfection. The highlight of the meal was the Gnocchi Fritti. The most exquisite crunchy outer layer followed by the pillowy soft inside. We couldn’t recommend Capolinea enough!

    Dear Rachel, Thank you for your kind review! It's lovely to hear the Pane e burro started the meal off so well, with the focaccia especially impressive and the sourdough with Calabrian chili butter a hit. We take pride in our handmade pasta and artisan desserts and it's wonderful to hear our attentive wait staff made the evening special. Thank you for recommending Capolinea so highly, and we would be honored to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable evening.
