Best Authentic Restaurants in Decatur

Superb Sushi and Sashimi and Superb service. This is about my 20th visit and I love it every time!!!!

I went twice in one week because I like this restaurant THAT much as a GF food lover. Jules was my server both times and is such a welcoming and warm person. She even remembered me and that I was GF! My favorite items are: -burger (even though  they are known for their top us, the burger cannot be beat, and the gluten-free bun is one of the best I have ever had! -octopus/pulpo (probably my favorite tapas! Octopus cooked incorrectly as a gummy nightmare, but this dish could not have been made better in my opinion!) -broccolini (the crema it comes with his so refreshing and light) -branding (crispy fish and great crispy veggies on the side) -patatas bravas (ALWAYS a fav!) -mushroom flatbread (very very heavy on the cheese and lighter on the mushroom, but still good. The gluten-free flatbread exceeded expectations.) The almond cake with olive oil gelato is fantastic as well.

The experience is so worth it- book the reservation! The wine, cocktails, appetizers, dishes, fun hats and music! You will not be disappointed! Service was a tad slow at first- seemed she may have been double or triple seated pretty close together but made up for it with her warmth and her knowledge of the menu! The expo runners and bussers were so kind and welcoming- the “salúd” with the delivery of cocktails was such a nice touch! The decorations are truly over the top in the most mesmerizing way! I felt like Carrie Bradshaw getting Chinese food with Miranda on Valentine’s Day! Surrounded by beautiful decorations! Will definitely return to catch more decorations for a different holiday! Brava, Mama Gale and team! Wow!

La Tavola is absolutely amazing! Staff are so attentive and knowledgeable. Food was delicious, Highly recommend the Caesar salad and the mushroom ragu. Finishing the meal with their cheesecake and home made limoncello just topped off a wonderful meal!

Absolutely loved the festive atmosphere at Nino's on the 23rd. When I made the reservation had NO idea how busy it would be. Santa was even there. Took way too long to receive our entrees but totally understandable considering the dining room was at capacity with a lot of large groups. I'll be back when it's warm enough to dine on your quiet porch. Dining room was too noisy. Servers were great by the way.
