About the restaurant

We opened on May 20 2015, with the mission to share our Italian heritage and delight our guests with exceptional cuisine. Our pizza dough is naturally leavened, never frozen, and our pastas are made freshly every day.

Out of many pizza restaurants in Atlanta to choose from, we intend ours to be the one chosen for quality.

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!

Marietta

About the restaurant

Glover Park Kitchen is a full-service restaurant on Marietta Square serving elevated Southern cooking, shaped by the spirit of Sunday supper. Executive Chef Lance Hagan's menu takes familiar Southern dishes and cooks them carefully, from scratch, with real hospitality.

The menu is made for sharing. Sides come in portions for two to three people, so we encourage you to order for the table and pass plates the way Sunday dinner should go.

The bar program features thoughtfully crafted cocktails, a curated selection wine and locally crafted beers made by our own Brew Master.

Lunch offers a smaller menu of favorites with lunch pricing, good for a midday meeting or a break from the Square.

Whether it's date night, a family celebration or dinner with friends after a day downtown, Glover Park Kitchen is a warm, welcoming place to gather around good food. We look forward to having you at our table.

Love Glover Kitchen! This is our fourth time there. Soft opening blew us away food was incredible. Second time had some food temp issues but past two times has been great. For being so new I think it will be a go to for us that live on the square.

About the restaurant

Since 1997, we've been striving to please our guests, whether they’re looking for old favorites, seasonal creations, small plates or an introduction to new wine. We’ve adapted our style to reflect current food trends as well as the way our guests want to eat. So while there’s a selection for those who want to splurge on entrees such as the signature Ahi Tuna, New Zealand Elk or NY Strip, there are plenty of other options including gluten-free and vegetarian selections along with weekly wine features. Cheers!

SoHo never disappoints! I love bringing my friends and family to SoHo. There was 6 of us and 4 had never been. They absolutely loved it! We all had an appetizer, entree and dessert. Said they’d be back and all 4 of them live over an hour away. The service, food and ambiance is consistently impeccable. We had Colten who made our experience even better. We were saying a prayer as a family with our heads bowed, and when we were done, Colten was standing a few feet behind us with his head bowed too🥰 Such a nice gesture to make our interaction even more special than we felt he already was. Thank you SoHo!

The food and service were wonderful! However, I'd love to see the owner consider spacing and angling the seating to create a much cozier, personable vibe. Currently if feels like your sitting in a school cafeteria.
