BoccaLupo is chef Bruce Logue’s pasta-focused Italian restaurant at 753 Edgewood Ave NE in Inman Park. Since opening in 2014, it has drawn Atlanta diners for handmade and extruded pastas built around seasonal Southern ingredients, served in a small, warmly lit dining room suited to date night.
Logue trained in Italian kitchens before opening BoccaLupo, and that background shows in a menu that pairs Italian technique with local produce. Regulars often order the black spaghetti with shrimp and Calabrian chili, a long-running favorite whose heat and brininess are typical of the kitchen’s style. The menu rotates with the seasons, so expect market vegetables in the starters and changing pasta shapes and sauces. The cocktail list matches the food with creative, Italian-leaning drinks, and amaro and aperitivo-style options come up often. The room is intimate and low-key, and close tables give it a neighborhood feel.

The Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail runs nearby for a walk before or after dinner.
