A little slice of Italy. The food is absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced. Staff is very knowledgeable. The veal was perfectly prepared. If highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great date night or even a causal lunch.

Amazing! Doesn't look like much from the outside but it's all inside. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would dine across the street at Olive garden when you have this local gem right there. Every table will get free rolls and salad with dinner. THE ROLLS!!! Watch out, once you start you cannot stop. They are addicting and delicious. The salad is also very good - lots of veggies (even beets!) We got seated in the "curtain booth" and it was fun haha. The environment is charming and the servers amazing. 10/10 will dine again!

Outside of the garlic roles, it's really just ok. For this price I would go down the street to Maggiano's and enjoy better pasta at the same price point. And get to take one home.

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants in Atlanta. On top of the amazing food, I’ve never had a negative experience with the staff. Everyone is so sweet and welcoming. Scalini’s is absolutely one of my top 3 favorite restaurants.Side note - I definitely recommend trying the fried artichokes and mozzarella sticks. You’ll thank me later.

Been coming here for almost 11 years. Let that sink in folks. This place is the real deal. Amazing atmosphere and wonderful food. Perfect for a date with that special someone. If you are going on a date do not get a table! Request a booth. Trust me guys. You wont regret the booth for a date. Bring a good white sharpie with you also. Do not ask why. Just do it. So for you people on a date! Get the booth and bring a sharpie. She will never forget that. Here is a pic what I ate today ;) Ive been eating this same exact dish for 11 years folks

I come to Scalini's Italian restaurant every birthday. I received a free Entree and birthday dessert. The food and old-fashioned "superb" service is second to none. They are the best of the best. If you want authentic Italian food - this is the space and place. If you want outstanding service - then this is the place to be.

Great service. Good food, salad. Red snapper was a bit soggy, yet veggies and rest very good. Will be back again.

I went here in hopes my water would break.... it did not. The food was amazing and so was the service. We had a large group and they put us in an area where we could be loud.

Amazing food!!! My favorites are the salad and eggplant parmesan! Wait staff is top notch with smiling faces everywhere! My family loves eating here!The bathroom needs to be bigger and have a changing table outside of the handicap stall but that is personal preference.Wonderful family restaurant or romantic date night!

PERFECTION! My family ordered dishes to go and to our surprise it included HUGE side salads and some of the best garlic knots I’ve ever had. They were fast, efficient and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Enjoy a meal in a private walled booth in low light and a nice atmosphere. Try the Venetian it’s the Francese with chicken veal and shrimp! All food comes with salad and garlic rolls! Must try the chicken and eggplant parmigiana! Will be back!

The atmosphere here is elegant and the music is fantastic and very soothing..the food was amazing and very filling we came to bring our pregnant sister for the eggplant parmesan which she said was fantastic!! Our waitress was great always checking on us to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything. I definitely recommend coming here if you have never been..

Scalini's is wonderful! We had a delicious meal and took dessert home for later along with the leftovers. I had Shrimp Parmesan which is isn't on the menu but they will gladly make it for you. Vegetable lasagna was also very good according to another in our party.

We we unexpectedly surprised by the quality of food, atmosphere and service. The courses weren't overly large, which I appreciate actually... They were well portioned and prepared. The only thing we didn't love were the desserts. We had the tiramisu and lemoncello cake. Both were fine, if a bit too small to share, and just OK. We'd come back in a heartbeat though!

My husband and I went there tonight with his family, to celebrate an early birthday for him. Our server was Steve, let me tell you, he gave us such wonderful service and was warm and accommodating. Thank you Steve, for such a wonderful first experience at Scalini's.

What a surprise this place was! You see a restaurant in a strip mall, and you don't expect much. Walk inside, and the ambiance would rival the best joint in Chicago.Excellent bread and salad to start things off. My companion and I ordered pretty standard fare, but it was incredibly flavorful. The Italian sausage was the best I remember tasting.

I. Love. Scalini's.It gives you an old world feel when you walk in. If it's your first time, order the chicken parmigiana with the Roseatella(?) sauce... it's half marinara and half alfredo! It's the best ever!! If you're of drinking age, get the sangria!!! I've also have had the lasagna, chicken ripieno (?) and the cannelloni del mar! Oh and the chicken and broccoli alfredo!!!! Yumma!! If your birthday is coming up, you'll get dinner on the house with your ID!! Thank me later! Ask for Michelle!

Amazing Italian food, friendly staff, nice ambiance. I came here for the eggplant parmesan, hoping it would help me go into labor with my baby girl. No such luck, but I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the eggplant! I like the wall of "eggplant babies" pictures. Parking was easy and convenient. Bathrooms we're clean and well stocked. Food came out fast and super hot. I also really liked the salad dressing.

I've been going to this place since the early 1990s and it is just as good today as it was back then. The salad and garlic rolls are amazing and always get the lasagna. The house red pairs nicely as well.

Possibly the best Italian food on the north side of Atlanta. My dad showed me this place and I’ve made it a point to return several times for special events and braves games. The wait staff is very professional, kind, helpful, and my glass never ran empty. The salads they bring out as an appetizer or phenomenal, and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t try the garlic bread. I haven’t had anything I didn’t like yet.

I always LOVE 😍 to partake of their cuisine! The food is always so good 😋! I love the ambiance (the lighting and music) and the smell of garlic in the air! It is a treat that I save for my (and other family member's) birthday, but if I lived closer, I would definitely treat myself more often!

I love the salad and rolls that come with the meal. Over the years I've had almost everything on the menu outside of the seafood items. Everything is great. If you do not know what their eggplant Parmesan is famous for, you need to Google it.

The atmosphere was good, the staff friendly and helpful.The meal was flavorful and came with a REAL salad, beets, chick peas, tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, etc.The man at the next table enjoyed some of his meal, but ordered another plate full and didn't "like the presentation" and the staff did everything they could to make it right and did not charge him.I will be back.

Great service and food. Nice atmosphere. The only suggestion I would have would be related to the yeast rolls that come out covered in diced garlic. It was almost as if whomever made them just dumped diced garlic on perfectly good yeast rolls. Consider improving the recipe maybe? Other than that, not a complaint. Unassuming place in one of the many strip malls in Atlanta, but definitely worth a try. 👍

One of my very favorite Italian spots! It's the exact same thing as Provinos, in fact it was the original name back in the late 70's and 80's. Go on your Birthday and get a free meal up to $15 plus a free dessert.

Its been 10 years since I visited here the last time. The service is as friendly and gracious as before. The menu seems very eclectic. However, the food was not as good this visit. If I had to explain, it lacked a certain freshness and top shelve flavor as before. Even the lemonade and garlic rolls seemed a little "low end" than before. It would have made for some very good take-out food, but for a sit-down experience, not so much

This restaurant is my go to for Italian Food. The service incredible, the staff are very attentive and friendly. I love the dim lighting and authentic Italian atmosphere because it's intimate enough for date night or a small gathering of friends. You don't have to wait long for your meal. I usually order the Eggplant and my meals have been perfect everytime. No complaints.

How could you not love Scalini's they have the best eggplant parm and I'm a full-blooded Italian girl. Everything we have ever had here is so delicious even the salad is outstanding so definitely give it a try his way better than any kind of Olive Garden or anything along that line.

Questions & Answers

I want to say a 94 or 96 when we went on 4/30/18, I could be wrong but it was high I do know that. But the food, prices, and service were amazing and we would eat there weekly if it weren't so far away from where we lived.

Yes they do

No. Reservations with parties if 10 or more

There's never a wait

We were there with about 15 people and that was no problem, you may need to make a reservation a few days ahead of time if it's a weekend or a holiday. I know we have been there on a weekday with about 30 people at another time and they just separated us into 3 adjoining tables.

Yes according to Samona
