The Americano Restaurant

I celebrated my birthday here last Saturday, and I cant wait to visit this place again.There was an issue with my reservation that caused a bit of a wrinkle, but the hostess Cheyenne stepped in and took care of us the entire night. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. Aside from the stellar service, the food is some of the best I've had in Atlanta. Don't miss the meatballs, and polenta cremosa, and definitely order a steak. I tried the ribeye; perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My new favorite steakhouse.

I cannot share enough how AMAZING this place is. My husband made a reservation for our anniversary and of course, on the way there we got hit by a car on the interstate. I called the restaurant and they said that typically they would not be able to hold a table for us but because it was a special occasion, they were going to try their best. Once we got there, we were seated immediately, even though we were, almost an hour late for our reservation and the place was BUSY. Scott Conant was there and walked by our table multiple times. We were served some surprise champagne for our celebration, given an anniversary card, and chocolate plate. It sure was a night to remember! The food was flawless, no complaints there. Atmosphere was beautiful and lively with tasteful decoration. We will ABSOLUTELY return again, and I can’t wait to!

My husband and I first visited The Americano Restaurant back in September to celebrate our anniversary and had Jasmine as our server who was absolutely wonderful. We went back this past weekend and just so happened to have Jasmine again who remembered us!!! Our experience was just as good as the first time: the food, the drinks (especially the Drunken Wifey), and the service were phenomenal. We cannot recommend this place enough! An extra bonus for seeing Chef Scott in attendance!

Was staying at the Intercontinental Buckhead and the daily resort fee included a $15 credit for The Americano so I had breakfast here one morning and dinner one night. Breakfast Room service had a 25% service charge plus a $5 delivery fee for anything you ordered which seemed hefty considering it appeared they also charged more for the menu items than dining in. I may be wrong on last point as I didn't have both menus to compare but my recollection was that the prices were less for in person dining. I thought it might be nice to dine in the restaurant anyway so I could refill water or coffee and not have plates in my room to take care of after. I ordered the breakfast plate which was 2 eggs your way, a meat option (bacon or sausage) and a piece of toast or fruit bowl. I opted for the fruit bowl. This didn't come with a beverage and a regular coffee was $4 and the breakfast plate was $18. If I recall the room service option of the same was $26 (included the coffee) prior to the delivery fee and service charge. The eggs and sausage were fine, nothing remarkable. The fruit bowl was more than I expected and definitely a better value than a piece of toast. The service was a bit lacking. On a positive note they left the water and coffee jugs on the table so I could refill myself. When the bill came, it included an 18% service charge which felt odd to me (it was just me and usually a forced tip is for larger parties) and had me googling whether a service charge was the same as gratuity or not since a separate tip line also existed. I ended up tipping a little more even though I was pretty sure it was one and the same despite the service not really warranting extra because leaving nothing didn't seem right if I was wrong. Dinner Dinner prices were that of a pricey steakhouse. Like $18 for a side salad. I ordered a pasta dish: tagliatelle bolognese. It was $36 before tax. The pasta was good and there was plenty of bolognese. I came hungry, ate it all and was overstuffed when I left so the portion was much more than it seemed at first glance. Oddly enough, there was no service charge listed when I got the bill so not sure how they decide when they will or won't include it on the bill. All in all, it was convenient since I was staying at the hotel and it was too cold to venture much farther. However, I don't think I would make an effort to eat there otherwise. It felt like they were priced for convenience and knowing they have a captive audience vs having a good product or service.

Had a great experience! Service was great! Food was great! Highly recommend!

Service at the bar was slow and made us feel unwelcome.

Service was very slow with not many people in the resturant. Our waiter was great, but the food was not good for the price. Would not return.
