Baroni Italian Restaurant Set To Open In Midtown [Openings] 2

Posted by foodiebuddha on April 14, 2010

The owners of Baraonda are expanding their mini-empire with the opening of a new Italian restaurant on the north side of Midtown. The still cooking Barona is set to open in Brookwood Place (1745 Peachtree St. Atlanta, GA 30309) in the space vacated by Wolfgang Puck’s.

The restaurant group made some waves last year when they shuttered Bazzaar Lounge in favor of Publik Social House. Then, earlier this month, they shut down Enoteca Carbonari in order to expand Baraonda (the new adjunct is named Baraonda’s Wine Room).

There isn’t a whole lot known of Barona at this time, however, a few things are out there. There’s no fixed opening date on the map, but late April to Mid-may have been tossed around. The vibe will definitely be that of a neighborhood trattoria, with pizzas, pastas, and a handful of traditional Italian options available.

Midtown Restaurant Week Hits The Town 2

Posted by foodiebuddha on August 29, 2009

Another week comes, another “restaurant week” hits. Atlanta’s Midtown Restaurant Week, which drops for the 4th time, starts tonight (August 29) and runs through Sunday, September 6th. This one features a whopping 43 restaurants (if my math is correct). In what has become formulaic normalcy, you show up at one of the participating restaurants, ask for and order off a special prix-fixe menu, and get three courses for $25. Don’t forget: alcohol isn’t included, and neither is tax and gratuity. If you want the full on onslaught of information, check out the Midtown Restaurant Week official website. Otherwise, just keep reading for the list of menus and restaurants!
