One word to describe my meal Wow. I am completely speechless for how incredible the food is here, this is the best food in the world and that’s a big shoe to fill with my recent international travels. I’ve been on the search for the best food since my first great meal and I think I finally found it. I had no idea the best food in the world was right down the road from my house! Anything served here has been perfectly crafted by the famous chef (also the owner) but from my experience, I had the carapaccio which is an Italian raw beef dish which ironically tasted a lot like prosciutto. Then I had the house salad with divine balsamic dressing and a poached egg! Then my main was rack of lamb which is my new favorite meat to eat now (had it before just not like this) with delicious blanched peppers and mashed potatoes, and for the finale a South African Milk Tart! This man can make anything! Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chef for making this the best birthday meal of my life!

I’ve been here twice now and it’s our new favorite local dinner spot for special occasions. The food is excellent, our cocktails were delicious, the ambience of the place is cozy and romantic. The waiter checked on us all the time and we never felt rushed to leave. There’s a piano player who plays off and on he is friendly and takes requests. At this recent visit we ordered the smoked salmon appetizer, a rack of lamb, pork wellington and split dessert which was a toffee bread pudding with an ice cream scope and black coffees. It was amazing. Everyone working wore a face mask and we were sat apart from other guests. I highly recommend making a reservation be sure it’s a tiny place and there’s a parking lot next door and a parking deck a block over.

We ordered chicken piccata. I have no idea what we were served. It was not fit for a dog. The owner/ chef told me this was the English version. Whatever that meant, I’m insulted. We waited forever for a garbage plate. I’m certain it was someone’s left overs. Disgusting.

Two of us ordered the chicken picatta which was to be served with risotto. We were disappointed when it came with mashed sweet potatoes and a piece of steamed cauliflower and carrot. We were never told of a change in the menu and our server seemed to be uninterested when we mentioned it.

This meal was unlike anything I have ever tasted in my entire life. If I can give 10 stars I would. This restaurant should be somewhere in downtown Atlanta because it’s a true hidden gym. I feel as though they could charge more money if they wanted to because the food is worth more than what they charge. The plating is good, the flavors are immaculate the place has the old times romantic feel. It’s cozy the lights are dimmed . It’s just a sexy and romantic place. I love the natural wood on the ceilings. Man I am in love with this place. My husband and I will definitely be back. What a beautiful place to dine. ☺️

Excellently prepared cuisine by the Chef, excellent service from Oliver. Oliver papered us from the minute we walked in. The restaurant is very nice and offers a beautiful intimate atmosphere. I would recommend Sperata to anyone who likes a very nice fine dining Experience.

Valentine’s Day at Sperata was a magical experience. This place had great atmosphere, great music with a solo pianist, and wonderful staff. The food is separately wonderful. The dinner was served with a first course, a second course, an entree, and a dessert. We ordered a French Rose to drink with our dinner for the ultimate Valentines pairing.
