Amalfi Cucina Mercato Downtown Atlanta

Our waiter, Rob Iliew, provided an extremely poor level of service. We waited for 15 minutes between his other tables without being greeted or offered water. Eventually, we had to ask a busser who our waiter was, as Rob seemed oblivious to our presence, even when passing by. Our cocktails took 30 minutes to arrive, while other tables that arrived after us were served their drinks and food long before we were. Rob appeared to vanish for long periods, and we were left wondering if we should just leave. Interestingly, he suddenly became attentive and quick to assist us when it was time to bring the check, which we needed early to make it to a concert, and we had to select a tipping option as we rushed out. If we had been seated in a different section, our experience could have been entirely different. The food was truly wonderful, particularly the marinara sauce, but unfortunately, it was completely overshadowed by the unacceptable service from our waiter.

After we were able to enjoy a bourbon at the red phone booth, we decided to go back to our hotel and relax. wifey soon after says I'm hungry, so I made a late reservation in almafi for 10:15. we were immediately sat and our waiter addedison took soon after our drink order. we asked for a red wine recommendation and he suggested mode ruffino, which is a well balanced red, which is slightly dry and a perfect compliment to the sauté di cozze appetizer (muscles in white wine, butter and dusted garlic) and later the pizza amalfi with hand squeezed san marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, we recommend giving them amalfi an attempt!

Excellent pizza! great time! delicious eating great drinks. service was excellent.

The food was good, and the lobster ravioli was excellent! Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. We were never asked if we wanted a drink refill, not even for water. We waited over 20 minutes just to get our check, and it took even longer to pay. It was a frustrating experience overall.

CiCi was an incredible server! Her personality was fantastic and she brought so much fun to our dining experience. We even let her take charge and order for us, and she absolutely nailed it! Be sure to ask for CiCi when you visit!
