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.

The hits just keep coming. Though this actually happened a few weeks ago, I somehow managed to miss it. Wolfgang Puck Express pulled an Emeril’s and said buh-bye to Atlanta. This leaves the city with one less celebrity chef restaurant and the ground floor of the Brookwood Place complex dangerously close to empty (at least in the south building). While the signage is gone and a closing note hangs in the window, the interior has remained pretty much intact. Maybe another restaurant will go in … maybe not … only time will tell. I have a few snapshots, but they are held hostage on my camera until a little later tonight. I’ll throw them up when I have the chance.
